He later became a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, USA. Currently, he is Professor of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley, USA.

43:30 Lewis, this happened to me for a period of time almost every night. Try to relax and go back to sleep, don't fight it or try to move. Then you wake up as normal.

[@TheRightSlde]

Mainly happens to me when my sleep is broken. If I'm up for around half hour and go back to sleep, this tends to happen to me.

[@EveryEdits7]

Why tho

[@TheRightSlde]

@@EveryEdits7 I guess it knocks your body out of rhythm, so you wake up when both sleep phases are not yet complete or in sync as usual. My partner moved to a different timezone and would call me when he finished work, which for me was 2am. We would talk for around half hour then I'd go back to sleep. I'd hear a big whoosh sound like a train was speeding towards me or I was surrounded by blue electric. After a few nights I researched it. It's known as sleep paralysis. There's lots of scary stories about monsters and beings in the room on the internet. I chose to believe the scientific stuff I found that said "you're not fully awake yet" The next nights it happened, I relaxed, instead of trying to wake I reminded myself of what was going on and tried to go back to sleep and it worked. Just my own experience

I had I dream l will never forget. At 43, I dreamt I had a baby girl. The next week I had to go to the dr. She was about to write me a prescription when I remembered my dream. Asked her if this medicine would hurt an unborn child. She said yes, and tested me. I was pregnant so she gave me a diff drug. Had a baby girl! Listen to your dreams.

[@pegalle1]

Well, even the teenagers and pre-teenagers know that babies are not made out of dreams. If there’s a chance a woman might be pregnant then it’s fair to mention it to the doctor so she treats the patient and presribes the medication according to the present circumstances.

When I was in my early 20s i was physically in good shape (I had abbs). I had a dream once that I had a big pregnant looking beer belly.

I wish I'd have listened to the dream and quit drinking earlier. Now I know!

[@sodas32]

It might also just be metabolic, I was over exercising, under eating and not getting enough carbs which resulted in several nutritional deficiencies after 6 years etc (thought I was being healthy, felt great in the initial years) unknowingly I was putting my body in a catabolic state which will cause the body to stay awake and alert, as it is meant to. Think about what you are doing and what messages you are sending to your central nervous system via the way you eat exercise and live...you might be putting your body in survival mode and its simply doing what its meant to be doing. I cut back and changed the way I exercise opting for more anabolic promoting activities with ample recovery time, ate more frequent balanced meals and also allowed myself to take naps. It has taken a long time for my body to balance out and recover, I now don't even need to bother with or think about sleep hygiene, I get tired and sleep. I hope this helps someone in a similar predicament, the worst part is not knowing what is happening and how to recover.

My dog sleeps on the bed every night. He zonks out til morning. With my ex, I was sleep deprived for years: snoring, waking up throughout the night, loud alarm earlier than I needed to wake up. I fell asleep at work once in front of a client. It was awful. We split up for other reasons, but I’m sure sleep deprivation factored in via resentment. He was also against sleeping in different rooms. “We’re a couple. We’re supposed to sleep together.” Omg.

[@ameternal2012]

As far as I can remember I have always hated to go to bed and Go to sleep. One time my parents went to Vegas for the weekend and I stayed up all 3 days they were gone. Just reading and having fun with my 5 sisters. When they slept, I read. I sleep 4-5 hours a night. I don't get sleepy, never. I force myself to go to sleep. I'm now 65 and nothing has changed. I'm in perfect health, no high B. P., No high cholesterol, in fact my HDL is high, never had cavity, not diabetic, I don't have 1 grey hair. My only ailment is arthritis. I've had severe arthritis since I was 25. Doctor said I would be in a wheelchair by 50yrs. I said, "I will never be in a wheelchair". I am 100 yrs. away from needing one right now. I consider myself pretty lucky. Still only getting 4-5hrs. of sleep a day. Sometimes I'll take 1/2 sleeping pill to sleep. Sometimes I'll eat before going to bed because going to bed on a full stomach makes me want to go to sleep. And during my day I'm very mindful to do a lot of moving so to tire myself out so that I may sleep that night. Even seeing people sleeping bothers me. I know these are all unhealthy things to help me sleep, but it's what I do in order to sleep my 4-5. I've never had a hard time waking up, I pop right up, always excited because now my whole family will be up with me. Can Some one tell me how, why?

I spent at least three decades enduring minimal sleep due to having to share a bed with someone who has sleep apnea and restless leg syndrome. As soon as we were able to buy a house with an extra bedroom I moved to my own room. It caused near panic among some of my friends and family who were certain our marriage was ending. We are still together and going strong twenty years on! I wish society would accept the need for sleep and take it seriously and not keep insisting that couples need to share a bed (during sleep) to have a healthy life together.

[@HeartFeltGesture]

Couples shouldnt sleep together, it is pointless closeness and desensitizes your energy to the other person (depolarization). If you want to keep that zing and spark in a relationship, sleep in separate bedrooms and ignore all the whispers from others if they hear about it.

I sleep every little . My eyes tell me when to sleep with watery waves about 72 hours or more . This has been going on since a child. Was given sleep med in the seventys. Do take all medication natural that I have been told will help but does not. Been to two sleep clinics for no help. Can you help me?

[@YogawithAliBeale]

I always notice that about Lewis and his passion and curiosity for each different topic.

I have a problem trying to sleep; I’ve been unable to sleep early and gets awaken by my husband’s loud snoring! It takes awhile for me to resume my sleep until 3:00 AM, then don’t wake up until after noon the next day. Thanks for this very important info.

[@veronikathananan9]

This program is sooo amazing, especially about the Schooltime…

[@joanedwards9460]

Oh my i feels as though he is talking to me personally, i am so so guilty on my sleeping habits, when i do not get enough skeep, headaches are so intense, sometimes it wakes me out of my sleep and feels like a drum is beating in my head and my BP is always up, i am always feeling tired and can hardly focus...i have all the signs and symptoms he spoke about.

Love Dr. M. Walker awesome advice will try to implement the suggestions very informative and thank you for such a awesome perspective on sleep I believe it is one of the most on talked about unexplored areas of the human mind and the power it has to restore the body

[@JulieAnnStone]

My cat used to sleep with us, then she would wake me a few times a night being nocturnally hungry, so I finally put a bowl of food outside the bedroom door, so I’m getting much closer to 7-9 hours of sleep, so it is such a relief to sleep through the night. This is such a great episode!

[@lewishowes]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@globalmuffin2]

34:55 also there is rarely a person who can sleep very well, but refuses to do so. people who sleep well, fall asleep anywhere, they can't even consciously restrict their sleep. in the sleep deprived it is usually a combination of poor sleep quality and insufficient quantity.

[@mariceldb2990]

This person speaking obviously always have a good night’s sleep as reflected in his bright eyes.
