I had been sleep deprived from my 16 until my 24 years of age (getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep per night). What I got as a result were panic attacks, anxiety, lack of memory and difficulties to learn (in college and work). My professional life was deeply affected by this, and I still struggle with my anxiety now. Currently, dealing with a restless partner during the night, I gained back to the old results of sleeping deprivation, and I say: it is torture. I hope I can convince him to do a "sleep hygiene" as we call it in Brazil, so I can be sleep properly and be happy again =(

[@tonberrykinged]

Good luck with that. Also worth considering whether you have a caffeine sensitivity. If you're prone to anxiety then caffeine could be a problem - it could be jacking up your whole nervous system. I genuinely can't have caffeine even first thing in the morning - if I do I'll be up till 3 or 4.

I've long been fascinated by sleep and as someone who has always been a "night owl" mornings were always rough for me. From the time I started school until the last day I worked I relied on an alarm clock to wake up in the morning. I hated that SOB more than anything on the planet! The thing I remember most about my last day at work was the happiness about turning the alarm clock off and never turning it on again! What a huge difference that made in my life. I immediately started sleeping better and feeling better throughout the day. It's truly amazing how much healthier it is to wake up naturally vs being startled by that damn alarm.

[@glenncahn1007]

Your book was great. It scared me so much as to all the adverse consequences of poor sleep that I forced myself to get an extra 2-3 hours/night! Feel far better for it.

I felt like I could accomplish anytrhing.The only explanation I have is that I was having a lucid dream just before I awoke. I have practiced trying to replicate lucid dreaming to see if that was the reason, but without luck. Most people I tell this story to, look at me like I am a loon but I remember that day, I will never forget it and if I could wake with that feeling just several times a week, I feel my life would have been much different.

This guy has a natural talent in explaining things.

[@getsmart3701]

I really feel for this guy...he has "The Truth" and very few are listening to his message. As a fellow that has never had trouble sleeping and rarely get less than my regular 8 hours a night for more than 20 years, I find that if I have s short night of sleep or miss a night completely the next day my nerves actually "tingle" like I'm recovering from pins-and-needles, it's so noticeable that it can be distracting and lasts all day long. My question to any bad sleepers out there is: do you feel also feel this tingling of nerves after a poor/short sleep? Or is it maybe that I'm just sensitive to it because it's so unnatural a condition for me.

[@labemolmineur]

I am jealous. I am reading his book right now, and I believe, and have always strongly believed, in everything he said. Sleep has always been holy for me, and throughout school and college I always prioritized enough sleep to extra studying and was always at the top of my class. But still I've always suffered from extremely light sleep, a problem that is getting worse with age and which I wished Walker had addressed in his book- why, when taking away factors like caffeine, alcohol, unhealthy food or late meals (which I've stopped completely), are some people very light sleepers who are extremely sensitive to any noise? I live with flatmates (cannot afford to live on my own at this point), and I always wake up when they go to bed much later than me. I have gotten better at falling back asleep afterwards (it used to take me hours, in the days when I had lots of stress and still drank coffee), but still I need a total of at least 9 hours in bed to wake up somewhat refreshed, and I still almost never wake up energized, my sleep having been interrupted exactly midway. Like you I immediately sense the effects of any reduction in sleep- I also feel those "needles", especially in my upper arms in the morning, together with a head that is not calm. I immediately notice how I suddenly need 30 seconds to remember someone's name, how I'm emotional and irritable. I only sleep very well when the others are gone for the night, and I worry that it is unrealistic to want to live alone for the rest of my life, or to inquire about people's living habits and only be able to coexist with someone who goes to bed by 9:30 or 10, like me, which, in today's culture, is very difficult to find, at least where I am. I know a sleep specialist might be able to help, but it's hard to find someone where I live.

[@ひろゆき二十一]

Yes i can feel tingling and pins and needles in my hand it is because of my nerve anxiety and when i go to the doctor to get some check up he suddenly told me to get my blood and tested it in the laboratory and they found out that i have lacked in potassium and high in sodium that ease my mind for a bit but for sure anxiety is the main reason of this tingling pins and needles in my hands and other parts of my body.

The tips are great. Also, try having a routine the last 30 minutes before going to sleep such as putting the phone down, turning off the computer and getting some water. Your routine can vary, but doing this every day will let your mind and body know it's time to fall asleep. Soothing sleeping music can also calm down your brain from overthinking and relax your senses into sleep.

[@vansan3211]

So here's my question (following a story that I will use as an example): Regarding how sleep is not a "credit system" and you can't make up for damage already done: My father is a doctor and is creeping into his 70s. About 5 years ago, the hospital that he works for started having him do all-night on-call duty once a week and it was wreaking havoc on his health in every way possible. He's a tri-athlete and is the healthiest person I know, even at his age. He had a heart scan performed while he was doing this on-call work and his doctors warned him that it did not look good and he was at a very high risk for a heart attack. We had to have a family intervention and I was able to convince him that the on-call work was going to kill him. He has since quit that side of his job (he's looking to retire soon anyway) and had a repeat heart scan. Just a few MONTHS later, his heart scan is now pristine and he's back to where he was previously. He's never been happier emotionally, physically, spiritually, whereas he was in pretty bad shape before. So taking him as an example: I understand that he was doing on-call/all-nighter work every Saturday and it was not possible for him to "catch up" on sleep other days of the week. But now that he has completely shifted his lifestyle, it's only taken a few months for his heart scan to come back "very good" from "very bad." And that was from YEARS of this on-call work. In this way, it would seem that you CAN turn things around, even after damage has been done. My father is physical proof. I've watched Dr. Walker's Masterclasses, watched many of his KZbin videos, and read parts of his book "Why We Sleep," but I can't find where he might address this. Whenever he talks, it's always regarding how "once damage is done, it's done." I personally also became very ill at one point in my career as a flight attendant and for the sake of my health, I had to resign for a year. I've since returned and have been back for the past 3 years, better able to manage my health and sleep habits. But I would also be an example of someone who was in a very bad place (I couldn't even function), but restored a sense of normalcy and have been able to reverse much of the inflammation that was caused during that hard time. My job will also become easier for me as I get older, because I will gain more seniority within my company and have more choice regarding which trips I want to fly... meaning, I won't have to fly the redeyes or "leanovers" anymore. I don't like the fact that I'm doing my body a disservice with this kind of work, but going back to a 9-5 is not for me and I'm hoping to rest in the solace that it will only get better. I would like to think, with my father being an example, that the damage I've done to my body thus far won't be something that will haunt me later. If someone knows where he might address this topic, I would be interested!

[@miketolley6025]

I think if you continue to have poor sleep and the damage is created, it’s lasting, but if you improve your sleep then you start to feel better, will be healthier, for longer, your stopping the rot forming, but it won’t repair the damage. So be the best you can be most of the time, he admits in his podcast with Rich Roll (KZbin Sleep in Non-Negotiable: Dr Matthew Walker / Rich Roll Podcast) lots more answers and discussion. You can’t remove all damaging things, just be as good as you can for as much of the time as you can.

Reading before bed is good for getting me to sleep i find. I usually get 7/8 hours a night. Although recently ive been waking up at 3am wide awake which is a few hours before normal. Feeling alright though

Same, I go to sleep but will wake up around 3/4 am and won’t be able to get back to bed for some time. I’m definitely going to have to try reading before bed & working out in the morning

[@johnparnham5945]

I am reading your book and definitely have a sleep disorder. I fall asleep at approx 10pm but wake up at stupid o clock ie 1-3am in the morning. I am 62 and one of the chapters in your book describes my condition exactly. I have to go to the toilet three times every night , I can't fall asleep again for hours and this has been happening for years if not decades. If you go to your GP, their first point of call is sleeping tablets , which is not really a solution as you have pointed out In your book. Your book is fascinating and also alarming. During a particularly sleepless night, I read it from 1am-6am,then got up because there was no point in trying to get back to sleep. I have looked into the availability of sleep clinics in the UK, I live in the midlands, and there seems to be only one NHS sleep clinic way down in the south. There is one in Birmingham but I suspect you have to pay. For some of us that would be beyond our means. I know that your book is not a self help book but it is a 'wake up call', to do something about our condition. S, I'm very glad that you wrote It. Needless to say, I would love to sleep the whole eight hours with all it's benefits. I will go and see my GP but I will refer to your book which, in my opinion, should be read by every GP and hope that they will find some way to fixing the problem.

[@Snotroggel453]

Hello john, thanks for your information. I have the exact same sleep disorder for nearly 10 years now.. i always wake up after 5 hours of sleep while i’m not fully ‘awake’. It has been bothering me for so long but i really can’t find anything to fix this. I’ve tried so many supplements but it’s always after 5hrs.

[@immortaL132]

I have this same problem for past 15 days is it curable for me??

[@drestotv4444]

I'm 31 and have the same problem. Working as an air traffic controller in nightshifts has desrupted my sleeping pattern completly and also my stupid habit of fighting with sleep because I would miss the fun of life. Now after 2 years of not having a normal night sleep, after getting black circles under my eyes and looking like a zombie I understood what a fool I was for not taking sleep more seriously. I will definetly read the book as I see people have only good opinions about it, but reading your comment made me think that reading it will not help me resolve the issue with waking up at 3am all the time

[@AyngeMackay]

The alarm stuff reminded me of when I went to visit my sister and I stayed overnight. She wanted me to sleep in her bed which I didn't want to do because I hate having to inconvenience people. She insisted, because she wanted to sleep in the chair in the living room because she had trouble getting up in the morning, and if she was late to work one more time, she was going to get fired. So I agreed and took her bed. I noticed that she had like, 17 clocks in her apartment, and all of them were set at different times, ostensibly to trick her into getting places on-time I suppose. I don't get that but whatever. She didn't bother to tell me that she had somehow managed to set them all to ring at EXACTLY the same time. I found out the next morning when they all rang at the precise same moment, and it was like a 1950's bomb drill. I nearly had a heart attack, scrambling awake. If I wasn't so rattled I'd've killed her. Or at least slapped her. Now I have the alarm that starts softly and gradually gets louder.

How do you exactly measure if the person regained back that sleep deprived night or not? Is there a sleep meter?

[@kmpainandmovementspecialis9742]

Same question please

[@adrianwalker5415]

They have scanners and machines with sensors that connect to your head and torso to tell if one is sleep deprived and can measure when and how long they where in REM sleep. You can go somewhere to do a study or they can lend you the machine to use in your home

[@holcaul]

Adrian Walker isn’t sleep deprivation a subjective feeling.

[@WacKaKO]

@@holcaul It is not, as he says in the book your brain will actually adapt to that sleep deprivated state. So when you haven't had an adequate amount of sleep over time your body will adapt to that lack of sleep and consider it the new norm. The sleep deprivation is measured by methods of reaction time, how good your memory will be and of course the amount of sleep cycles you get during the night. Edit: Spelling

[@holcaul]

@@WacKaKO I am quite certain that sleep deprivation contains a subjective psychological component to it that this researcher did not take into account. Electrical activity and ability to focus are not the only components to sleep deprivation measurement.
