Stories from the sleep clinic | Dr Kirstie Anderson | TEDxNewcastleCollege

[@PlayLyss]

Her voice is so beautiful and calm and soothing. No wonder she is a sleep clinic doctor.

[@AFGautonompunk]

she is a great narrator and this was a good story, thanks for sharing.

Made me want to fall asleep lol

[@LungSleep]

Sleep is fascinating! I too am grateful to be a sleep doctor. Helping people sleep has a huge positive impact on people’s life and this is hugely satisfying

[@realascanb222]

I have a sleep disorder I assume. I'm a doctor and I just can't sleep on my own it's horrible. I have avoided going for a sleep study because if I can't sleep at home, how will I sleep in a clinic. I feel I would be up in that room for 4 or 5 days before they could record even one hour of my sleep. It's really destroying my life. I can't function at work or during the day. Any advice.

[@BubbyNikko]

I love sleeping a lot. And when I say «a lot» I mean that I sleep in anytime I can. I could have slept 8 hours and yet: «Do I have anything to do right now? No? Well, I'll just sleep another two hours.» I'm very lucky that I don't experience very vivid dreams and very seldom do I remember them, so basically every night passes like in the blick of an eye for me.

[@BubbyNikko]

@edgar2prado In my experience (and as far as I can remember) I never have "pleasant" dreams but rather a long series of strange and eccentric events in succession. Even though they're not unpleasant, I always wake up with a sense of... tiredness and confusion. I get very vivid dreams only when I'm about to get my period and the day after I'm always on a bad mood. Do you have pleasant dreams? EDIT: Just another thing. I know that some people are able to recognize it when they're dreaming and somehow "control" what happens there. I can't. I even tried to keep a journal of the dreams I make (I read it boosts creativity) but I just hate it. I prefer a long, dark and dreamless sleep.

[@BubbyNikko]

@edgar2prado That's interesting. Can you tell me in what ways do you think your life has been impoverished by lack of dreams recall? Apart from what I read on a magazine, about how a lot of successful people, both in the past and nowadays, write down their dreams in order to build a more creative approach to their lives (it also improves ability to problem solving, if I remember correctly), I don't know anyone that really regards dreams with a special role. I prefer not to remember my dreams because when I had my first, devastating heartbreak sleeping was the only thing for me that made time pass quicker. I knew that time heals, so I wanted my grief to be in the past as soon as possible. I think this habit stuck with me. But I'm sorry to hear that you have this desire and cannot fulfill it completey. Have you tried any particular strategy? In the same article it was stated that once you become used to write down what you remember of your dreams right after you've woken up it gets easier and your recollection can last longer.

[@SM-ft2jv]

This came at the perfect time, i've literally been having violent dreams and punching and kicking, last night i punched my laptop off the bed and cut my hand open idk what to do

[@richardvass1462]

Avoid stress and drink less caffeine, especially at night... No chocolate or coffee or cocacola. If you hold grudges it's important to let it go and forgive. Don't even entertain hateful thoughts. Pray before you sleep. Works for me.

[@SM-ft2jv]

Richard Vass Hi Richard, i’m 22 and quiet athletic i box, my caffeine intake is almost non existent but i’ve recently come off anti depressants so idk if its related, worried i might develop parkinsons . Peace and love brother appreciate that

[@richardvass1462]

@@SM-ft2jv Yes, its difficult to get off meds. Things should soon improve. Early onset Parkinson's is rare. If something's going on there you're going to notice it's mostly on one side of the body or the other. I wish you well. Remember, God is still in the miricle business. I have asked Him to help me many times and it's always when I'm most desperate that He shows me the way and renews my strength.

[@SM-ft2jv]

Thats beautiful man, are you christian? I’m muslim but not that religious still doing some soul searching, love you brother

[@richardvass1462]

@@SM-ft2jv There is only one God. But, yes I am Christian. I was an atheist in my teenage years. But I was in a bad state of mind. No mother or father in my life. Raised by grandparents. Working and on my own at 16...I remember just saying God help me. Things started to change. Some Christian people wanted me pray with them to ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness and get saved. It was not something I was ready to do. I had doubts. So I prayed with them for God to show me. I prayed to the Father. They gave me a Bible... KJV Bible. I wasn't too good in school but I understood most of it because my grandmother took me to church we I was a child. I realized I was a sinner and needed to change. I was about 19 when these Christian people invited me to a Christian music concert. The people seemed silly to me the way they were worshipping with the hands up in the air. Then I am seriously thinking I can't do that. But, I am not exagerating, I heard God...like in my mind...say if I don't surrender He won't have anything to do with me. So I said I surrender. I put my hands up and started crying. I know it had been many years since I had cried. Afterwards people said I looked different. The Lord took away my heart of stone and I was born again. Since then I have had many experiences with the Lord doing things in my life. I have learned to trust Him.

What if you have started waking up crying over and over for two weeks now? I'm 20 years old.

[@carolhubbard5597]

You are obviously grieving about something. Are you worried or depressed? Are you being abused? Have you lost someone important in your life? My heart is saddened for you. Do you have a trusted confidant that you can pour out your heart to? It would be a big load off your mind to share this. I will say a prayer for you, dear girl. Take care of yourself.

[@300076379]

Sleep apnea did that for me. Maybe get a sleep study done just to rule out that possibility?

[@PlayLyss]

@@300076379 my dad has sleep apnea. But I have a sleep app that records any sound that happens in while I'm sleeping (like snoring or sleep talking) and I've only heard slight snoring. My dad snores like a beast and sometimes we hear him stop breathing. I've never heard that from myself. Don't you have to snore to have sleep apnea?

[@RyanHarris77]

I agree with the other comments. If you have to means to do so, sea kelp.

[@asif_mojtoba]

Guys, how many hours should a 25 years old guy need to sleep, at least? Would someone share some reference video/article/anything related to the minimum sleeping time and things pls Thanks!

[@bharathibharathishantiesh5794]

7 hours

[@limeylemon1685]

Minimum is 7, but it varies from person to person. I think the only way to find out is to experiment for yourself and find what works for you.

[@mamamuzic]

We have evolved over millennia to sleep 7-8 hrs per night. Don't mess with that:)

[@javeriamazhar9132]

5:04 *flip-flop* 😏

[@5Daniil5]

I was working for around 10 years, mainly at night, 70-140h per week, sometimes 48h straight (record is 60)... Lot of coffein pills, sometimes energizers... And still no sleep disorder. I think that it's because of my diet physical activity, psychological rebalance and absolute refusal to take any alcohol or smoke of other drugs in (except Advil sometimes). At any time of the day I am ready to kick in or get to sleep in 5-15 min on the floor under the sun, in the party and wake up in any time. So I bet the sleep disorder fix is not in some fancy drugs, perfect condition or sunlight scheduling. It all in your will😁👍

My dreams are family and friends that have passed in real life. so they are chasing me to hurt me.

[@Elizabeth-mp6tr]

Hello there: Am I to understand that people with active, aggressive movement in limbs can be at risk for Parkinson's disease? I am a little leary of this. As I worked with Military Members and Veterans for 14 years, many Soldiers/Veterans had this type of sleep disorder due to severe Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). This was a very difficult symptom of PTSD to overcome. Have you looked at this population group in terms of being at risk for Parkinson's Disease? Respectfully, I cannot believe this. As they were well monitored by psychiatrists weekly, Melatonin was never effective to help the difficult sleep patterns for these Soldiers/Veterans who were suffering tremendously. Id look at your comments more closely.

[@TheDada0106]

Hi!I have a plan for sleep.I sleep 6 hour.And is is very good.But my teacher says you plan is not good.But I think my teacher think wrong.And what you think that???Please write me !I need advice.:-D:-D:-D

[@mamamuzic]

Human beings have evolved to sleep 8 hours a night. I wouldn't mess with all that evolution if I were you.

[@codename495]

Your plan is nonsense based on your own compensation for lack of sleep. She’s a physician who specifically studies sleep, get your sleep.

@jfsfrnd its weird because I bought over the counter and it said take 1-3 tabs, I took 6. Nothing. Got a script, it said one tab, I took 4, and nothing again. I thought it was maybe the brand, but I tried 2 brands. Who knows, there's a bunch of brands but they are expensive and I wasn't about to run a clinical trial on myself. At my expense. So I said forget it.
