Brain eats itself when it doesn't get sleep

[@patsylynn2]

My dear 47 year old husband died of sleep apnea in 2003.I am so pleased to know that a lot more attention is being paid to this disorder now.

[@delphinanicols]

Oh Hell.....I've had untreated sleep apnea for a long time & this is another huge confirmation.

[@bonniemeads6056]

I have many reasons to be very concerned. Blood clots, brain injury, seizures, long time sleep deprivation, age (73), alcohol. Blood pressure & cholesterol! And falls. Presently going to a balance centre as I am off balance and light headed. Tthey say it is vertigo. Not interested in other possibilities. Have tried many different eating patterns. It is near impossible to see doctor let alone a specialist. Broken shoulder & ankle due to falls. Result, never damage right arm and hand. When I last saw my neurologist about 8 years ago he found Grey area around where my brain injury was. Thought it may be scar tissue. Haven't been able to get appointment since. Question: What about all the benefits being raised for carnivore and more fat eating vs plants & vegetables. Carnivore advocates and comments from their followers are so positive about increased health and many medical issues being resolved. Many physicians speaking about high cholesterol and blood pressure not being a problem when eating Carnivore. I am so confused and frightened about who is correct. Glad I accidentally found your channel. Thank you both.

With severe insomnia, should one take medication such as Trazodone in order to get sleep while addressing the core issue which as you have noted, can be a long process?

Eat a WFPB diet around 98%. Cannot get to sleep. Pain and discomfort mainly. Once asleep I get up 4+ times a night to bathroom. Will get to sleep usually around 10 p.m. and awake at 4:30 - 5:00 A.M. and cannot go back to sleep. Always tired. This discussion is so interesting,,, will keep listening for ideas.

[@ruth228]

10 pm to 5 am is not too bad unless you’re a child or teenager then you definitely need more sleep as far as I know.

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

Dont go to sleep. let the sleep come to you.

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

Please consult a sleep expert who would send you to sleep lab to diagnose your concern precisely. Your condition seems pretty troublesome

[@ilysen]

I read that diabetes makes you use the bathroom more often and less energy

[@NoExitLoveNow]

Uh oh. My entire career was based on me missing out on sleep.

[@leonardodamico9344]

I have parkinsons disease, In the last 7 years only sleep 4 or 5 hours what can l do?

[@mrfoxfam_doesstuff6252]

So i get more stupider if i don’t sleep?

[@psychicghosty5311]

I'm not sleeping barely this lockdown and my mind is so slow

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

Then why do stupid people sleep so much ?

[@bournejason66]

Question is how to get a good night sleep... can you comment on that?

[@chris.maharaj4054]

You can't.

[@ruth228]

Chrisbeatcancer on KZbin has specifics on multiple steps you can take. There’s hope

[@melissabestvoice]

severe sleep deprived for a yr. is my brain permanently damaged. central sleep apnea just discovered have very bad anxiety and depression. have not tried Cpap yet and know I will have trouble getting to sleep with it. I took ambien for 2 weeks and felt like was having a heart attack waking 3 hrs into sleep with racing heart. probably trying to breath. Iive been in hell with this for a yr and scared my brain is damaged. I feel like a nervous breakdown

[@KingReyYT]

My built up anxiety has taken me down a similar path. What helps you the most to fall asleep?

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

One way to look at this is that everone's brain gets permanently damaged regularly but the power of brain to repair itself is pretty good as well. Stop fretting . Fret also harms brain

[@natr.8758]

No your brain is not damaged. Neuroplascticity issues, and behavior affected, yes. Adrenals? Shot. Been there done that. I still get manic and don’t sleep for a week at a time... you will heal. 🙏🏼❤️

[@mycontentcreation5264]

So if you don’t get enough sleep your brain disappears by completely eating itself?!

[@sleepsmartsmashstress740]

When the dog barks he has slept well but not so much the neighbors He might be giving them Alzheimer's Disease by keeping them up all night. Let teach the dog some mindful meditation yoga to calm his brain down so he barks only when he wants to gather other dogs to start the dog group mediation session.

If we have insomnie, sometimes severe insomnia, but we do all the good things beside, can we expect not developing dementia or Alzheimer? I mean, is it the most crucial thing that you can do to avoid these diseases? Thanks a lot for all the informatives videos!!!! PS. I'm French, so I don't always understand everything that you said in the videos, but I improve with time :)
