Sleeping 4 hours even for a week is terrible. When I was a student, I used to sleep poorly during the exams and it was tough but I survived. These days though, if I'm going through a tough time at work and have to sleep poorly to make ends meet for a couple of weeks, it's a tragedy. It makes me cranky and irritable and after a few days I'm no longer productive, I just feel like doing nothing and I move at a glacial pace. That's why I avoid as much as possible going through this again. Sleeping less doesn't give you the chance to do more stuff and be more productive, it only brings you down and opens the door to various illnesses!

I've been getting not even that for last 12 years. I sleep usually around 3 - 4 hours per night, and this is happening only when i take some pill or smoke weed. But i stopped smoking. It got me addicted on some point. And this few hours is not in one go. I usually wake up about 3 times within this time. The worst thing about it is not even the length, but the deepness. Usually it's very shallow. Not this deep nice sleep when you feel really rested after. There are some nights when I don't fall asleep. Quite often. I wish I could sleep more and better, but unfortunately I never feel sleepy, honestly never. I feel tired, no energy, no libido, but all the time kind of alert. I honestly don't know what to do anymore.

@billgoedecke2265 Год назад

Hi there - I had to deal with cPTSD - long story but I couldn’t sleep for months after onset and then had to depend first on Ativan and then on a combo of Ambien and Gabapetin (the doctors wanted to put me on antidepressants but I resisted - just barely). I was able to get my elevation down after a year and one-half by doing a constant practice of Kundalini Yoga because I found books and whatnot on the web addressing PTSD through these practices. Plus I was helped quite a bit for a while by acupuncture. These days I still wake up in the middle of the night but I have these practices that always put me back to sleep. Also I still see a therapist once every two weeks - find it very helpful. Good luck to finding a way out!

@courtneyderouen Год назад

I’m sorry you’ve struggled with sleep deprivation from PTSD. That can really take away your quality of life. I do agree with the above comment so find your original post if you haven’t seen it. Your remedy is going to rely on using non-conventional practices. I want to also suggest watching Andrew Huberman video on sleep and also one on trauma and healing. His studies and suggestions have helped me overcome addiction, reverse depression and sleep better. I hope this helps.

What effect does napping or non-continuous sleep have on your overall sleep levels?

@mimimfp8685 Год назад

I have the same question.

@hughhunt1800 Год назад

I've read studies that suggest oversleeping can cause diseases but, as the good doctor points out, correlation does not imply causation. I think a lot of sleep hygiene is down to routine; if napping is part of one's sleep cycle it shouldn't effect nighttime sleep. For me, sleep is like medication; if I miss a dose, I wait til the next dose is due.

@hammer7519 Год назад

depends on the time you take that nap, the best time to take a nap without affecting your night sleep is by taking a nap before 12:00 or 11:00 am

@mynameisntchristine1006 Год назад

I sleep around 4-6 hours a night. I’ve been like this since I was young and I’m in my 40s now. I have tried not to stay up too late but when I go to bed at a decent time I just lie there awake anyways. I figure I will just not go to bed until I know I will actually fall asleep, which is around 1 AM and I wake up around 6:45 AM. I have a fit bit and I get more REM and Deep sleep when I sleep 6 hours then I do at 7+. I also feel more tired and it’s harder to wake up on time when I go to bed at a “normal” time and sleep 7 hours.

Thanks Dr. Ekberg for another top quality video. I'm 34, spent a year training my body in small 10min increments to wake up as early as possible. For the last 2 years i've been getting up 6days a week at 3am for a 4am weight training workout. The days i sleep in and miss my workout, the days where i get 6-7hrs sleep, are when i am least focused, most groggy and with the shortest temper. Most nights bed time is 10.30pm, out like a light and awake at 3am ready to attack the weights! Love the vids and keep them coming!

@ryzenforce Год назад

That's because when you wake up (from your alarm) after 6-7h of sleep, you are in your deep sleep. That's why you feel groggy for the rest of the day. If you'd wake up just 1h later, you would feel more refreshed.

@teresarudolph1256 Год назад

I can say, from personal experience, that lack of sleep, or even chronic poor quality sleep, can and does have adverse health effects. I worked the night shift for about two and a half years, and I did okay for a while, though I was tired a lot, but after about a year and a half I started getting sick a lot more often. I tried to sleep for at least eight hours during the day, but I could always hear the neighbors outside, and when people came over I could hear them upstairs (I was sleeping in the basement). And even though I covered the window in my room as best I could, I could see the sun shining into my room. So even though I lay still in bed, I don't think that I got the deep sleep that I should have gotten. Actually, I was lucky in a way, because one of my coworkers got sick a lot more often than I did, but strangely, she was never tired. She couldn't understand why I felt so tired, and she thought that I might have been sleeping too much, or that I just needed to get used to not sleeping. But I think that the lack of sleep (or poor quality sleep) was affecting her differently. I was tired a lot, but rarely sick (during the first year and a half), but she kept getting sick, almost every other week, though she never felt tired. But she never made the connection between that and lack of sleep. It really is a sobering thought, the long-term effects that lack of sleep can have. Now I just need to learn more about what I can do to get my sleep cycle back to what it should be, and get better quality sleep. I've started experiencing some health issues myself, during the last couple of years, and I'm hoping that getting more and better quality sleep will help. Thanks for this video. I look forward to learning more.

Alas ....maybe we should accept that Life and death and illness and pain are all part of this existence , maybe we must endure it till we die because something's out of our hands. Controlling the foods we eat apparently is not enough . Many eat healthy but still get diseases except who have the perfect time schedule I guess ......maybe we should have our land and cattle and crops and live far away from the craziness of the city and let the business owners run their own companies by themselves . However ... How do doctors who hardly get a sleep specialty when on call and also have odd schedules like us survive as long as they do , I worked as a reception with an 80 year old doctor who works almost all day then he goes home late at night then returns early in the morning almost everyday . If lack of sleep causes those things then how is he still alive 🤔 ..... Thoughts of a concerned person

How about someone who is naturally polyphasic? Wakes up on their own after 2 to 3 hours, gets up and gets things done a few hours, then falls back to sleep for 2 to 3 hours. Typically getting 4 to 6, sometimes 7 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period, but never all at once. No alarm, or light, or noise waking them out of a sleep, just that they naturally fall asleep and wake up on their own 2 or 3 times in a 24 hour period. Is this also unhealthy?

Listen, what a man does NOT understand is the hormonal sleep tied to pregnancy and then post pregnancy life. I lost my ability to sleep when I was one month pregnant, and I was part of a study trying to integrate Alzheimer's to hormonal lack of sleep with long term life. DONT SAY WE GO CRAZY - we learn how to cope with REST. IF you're struggling with lack of sleep, get your doctor to give you 5-10 mg zolpidem and you will sleep 2-4 hours. It's enough. I don't believe any man, who tries to understand a hormonal regulation of sleep after pregnancy, can succeed trying to tell a woman what to do. it just doesn't work. I went for 10 years of no sleep - an yes, try as you may to dismiss it - it happened. Only after 10 years in 2008 when I told my doctor he was killing me, by not prescribing sleeping pills, I finally fell asleep. All of this is related. Please Please Please don't make these videos that don't understand the hormonal relationship between sleep and hormones, you just cannot understand what it's like to live a life with little to no rest. Some of us cannot get a "few night's sleep."

I have gone 4 nights without sleep many times and really don't know why it's a kind of pattern I seem to have developed I have however remained alert and only sleep around 3 to 4 hrs a night some days I do feel lethargic more now than when my insomnia first started a while back. However, in the long term, im sure it will catch up with me. Not everybody goes to bed feeling stressed, and yet they still can't go to sleep. I believe that a hormonal imbalance can also play a big part in very little sleep. There are so many factors to consider. Thank you for the video

Im an retired anesthesiologist ,with a degree in psychology , as usual your video was very illustrative and clear ,and maybe you can give some information about : 1-does the nap time should be add to the total sleep time during the day 2- the sleep induced by sleeping drugs , has the same quality as natural sleep , and last a question that i couldn't answer during my practice years in anesthesia 3- its the anesthesia induced sleep ,has the same characteristic as the "normal sleep /thank you for your always clear, useful and honest videos .

@rubynibs Год назад

Good questions! I'd guess the normal sleep cycle can't be squashed into a few hours a night plus naps, and that anesthesia is nowhere near normal sleep. Doesn't it work by, how should I say it, by "blocking" a part of consciousness? Sleep shuts down bodily systems, doesn't it? I think anesthesia and sleep work by different fundamental mechanisms in the body. Oh - no, drug-induced sleep is not as good as natural sleep, in part because the drug's effects remain for a time after awakening, but I think a forced shut down has a different mechanism than natural sleep. Such good questions! Let's hope Ekberg answers them in a new video.

@daniellustgarten5857 Год назад

@@rubynibs thank you, after i did the anesthesia question i realized that sleep in anesthesia is a different chapter, because 1- not all the anesthesias, put you in a sleeping state, 2- some drugs in anesthesia induce the sleep but depending of the dose and administration way etc, 3-The EEG is totally different than a normal sleeping EEG , but thank you for the answers , very clear and logical by the way .

@EA-ck4so Год назад

Isn't a normal sleep happening based on our cyrcadian cycles which in turn activate some hormones (or being activated by some hormones)? E.g. melatonin is being produced when it is getting dark. It will trigger a cascade of other biological processes that will work on detoxing our body, repairing some damage during sleep, etc. Is it possible to induce all those processes in the body by administering a drug? I think anestesia is like being knocked out by force. Our bodies seem to be "built" into a larger matrix of our planetary cycles because this is how we have evolved as species. We can't fool our biology as it is linked and is dependant on the outside environment.

Sleep deprivation has been in fact used as a form of torture or also pressure. It's like a slow death, but oversleeping is also pretty bad.

You might have to resign yourself to sleeping a few hours at a time, that is, 3-4 at night, being awake a few hours, then sleeping again. It's no fun, but it's something we can adjust to. Was your spinal fusion done in the US or in Denmark?

@rubynibs Год назад

@@ibberman I know one or two others with spinal fusions, both done in Sweden, both in constant pain since their operations. But then there's my auntie... I grew up with an aunt who never walked straight. She had a slight limp and slight hunch, due to three back operations after a car accident. She was in constant pain, on pain killers for many years, and likely sleeping tablets, too. She was always in good spirits, and never gave up! Decades later, when I was well into adulthood, I went to my grandparents' house. In breezes a woman who walked like the other women in my family: with wonderful, eye-catching posture. My brain couldn't figure out what it was seeing, so I just stared at her. Then it clicked: she was my crippled aunt! My eyes bugged out! Seems Auntie had had a fourth operation that fixed everything, at least well enough that she was pain free and walking and moving like the rest of the women. We never know what the future holds. I try to be like my aunt: always in a good mood, despite everything, and always hoping and looking for a cure. If you're in such pain that you don't sleep well, that's grounds for getting your back checked out again. Maybe try the Mayo Clinic. If not, find the best spine surgeon around. To do that, you'll need to ask lots of questions from a lot of people, not just look at online reviews. You want to see his track record, studies he's published, what other surgeons say about him, what nurses say about him, if possible, what his spine surgery patients say about him. Take your time, and find the best guy around, then get checked again. Never believe you're stuck. Make getting your back in shape your mission in life.
