[@ParallaxView111]

I don't know if this helps, but a Fitbit is gray for monitoring for sleep quality and length of sleep. I have found blackout curtains, earplugs, taking magnesium glycinate, and zink are night really help with doorstep and deep sleep. I live in a state where medical marijuana is legal. Using a Pax pen for THC helped me get off 10mg time release melatonin, 100 mg time release HTP5, and GABA. It doesn't help when hormones plummet though.

That way, he can more effectively convey the importance of sleep, and get people to sleep more, since clearly the deprivation is a major issue in modern society. He explains that it should be resolved for the best performance in people's mental states, particularly memory, as well as the physical states, like in reproduction systems and the slowing of aging or strength of immune systems. It's not that he's telling you it's just good, but that people not having it is bad.

I love sleeping. I don't let anyone try to guilt me about sleeping as much as I need to. We eat when we're hungry. We drink when we're thirsty. We must sleep when we're tired. Nothing to be ashamed of.

[@mzaphod64]

Some people are very efficient at making you feel guilty. I was surprised of how proficient someone could get at it.

[@organichuman]

Very true, it is essential to sleep when needed as this is when most damage is done and true sleep deprivation counts. We damage our sleep cycles and circadian rhythm by abusing our biological synchronisation. It definitely causes cognitive impairment and is dangerous as well as unhealthy. Some of the latest studies by sleep scientists show how important it is to sleep when we need to. It is just as important than the number of hours of sleep. When we lack sleep we get more easily stressed and anxious, it also stresses the heart and brain. Everyone is a little different with their sleep or chronotype. Some need more hours sleep than others while a few rare number only need 4 or 5 but this is extremely rare so don't let anyone fool you into thinking this is healthy for most usual people, it isn't. Some will say they only sleep 5 or so hours and hold everyone else to their expectations or standards.

[@duf2]

But there are things like overeating, overdrinking, and oversleeping. Basically, anything can be done to an excessive extent. Just make sure you don't do it. Anything excessive does the same amount damage as anything done short of requirement. Happy sleeping

[@peacesalam2508]

Psychology major here. I say this so more can perhaps become attentive to what i'm about to say, and decide to read this entire post, and not for any other purpose than this. Some more tips on how to get a better quality of sleep, I will also include some of the remarks made by Matt Walker. (1) Exercise regularly, 4-5 times/week for about 30 minutes. It doesn't have to be very intense, a brisk walk will do you wonders. (2) Maintain a healthy diet, by this I mean, exclude any processed foods, such as white rice, white pasta, maximize your intake of antioxidants, i.e. fruits and vegetables mostly. Instead of eating white rice, or white pasta, try to buy them in their "fuller" versions, i.e. brown pasta and rice. They will give you more fiber, vitamins and minerals. Nowadays we fill our bellies with foods high in calories, but incredibly low in vitamins, minerals and fiber. Cut down on saturated fats, i.e. fats found primarily in processed meats, like chicken and meat, but also in ice cream, candy, cookies, doughnuts and muffins. Chicken and meat is a good nutritional source in itself, but you should be wary of how the meat has been treated in the factories before consumption. (3) Try to eliminate any drug, alcohol or tobacco usage , not only will this make you sleep, and sleep better, but you will have a better quality of sleep, and it will do wonders to your health in general. (4) Try to eliminate any added sugar from your diet. Here are some of the effects of sugar consumption; information taken from a book by Susanna Ehdin, PhD in immunology. Sugar can cause; (i) Too low or high blood sugar levels. (ii) Sugar affects the structure of our proteins, hence (amongst other things), our ability to transport nutrients through our body becomes impaired. (iii) Sugar raises the level of bloodfats and cholesterol in your blood. (iv) Sugar can cause hyperactivity, inability to concentrate, excessive worrying, and irritable mood in children. (v) Sugar can cause depression. (vi) Sugar can cause fungal infections. (vii) Sugar can contribute to brittle-bone disease. (viii) Sugar can cause fatty plaques in your arteries, as well as cardiovascular diseases. (ix) Sugar can cause migraines and headaches. (x) Humans who consume excessive amounts of sugar has a three times higher risk of developing Parkinsons disease. (xi) The mothers sugar consumption during pregnancy can have effects on the development of her baby. (xii) Sugar has a correlation with the development of degenerative diseases, (diabetes, dementia, and kidney failure). (xiii) Sugar impairs your immune system. (5) Make sure you have good sleep hygiene, i.e. your bed should only be for sleeping, not anything else, so you can, as Walker pointed out here, make your brain have a more robust association with your bed and sleep. Maintain a night routine, this has been found to make your brain become "prepared" for sleep, i.e. dim the lights an hour before bed, avoid any bright lights, rigorous physical activity, and make sure you cool the temperature in your room. This will have a positive effect on your predisposition to sleep because your brain will start secreting hormones that are conducive to sleep. Disruption, i.e. having bright lights, a warm room, and staring aimlessly at a bright computer or phone screen, will impair your brains secretion of sleep hormones, and it will stimulate the secretion of cortisol, a hormone that makes you more alert. This is not conducive to sleep. (6) Make sure you drink 1-1.5 liter of water/day, your sleep quality will improve. (7) As Walker mentioned, maintain a sleep schedule, where you wake up, and sleep roughly during the same hours, everyday. (8) Make sure to PRIORITIZE your sleep, so if you have any work, don't postpone it until later, try to do everything before the hour of sleep is forthcoming. (9) Try to tidy up your room and make your bed, make sure you get FRESH air while sleeping, at least try to, so your body can get rid of its toxins more effectively, contrary to popular belief, we get rid of almost all of our toxins from breathing, so make sure to provide your body with fresh air, rich in oxygen for this process to work better. I know, that some of us do not have this luxury, and it pains me that it has to be like this. But hopefully, if you can open a window, or something else to let authentic air flow into your room, you should do this. And lastly, remember, as Walker remarked. Sleep is crucial for EVERY aspect of your life. No part of your body can escape the debilitating effects of sleep deprivation, trust me on this one. I really hope this helps you if you have reached the end of my post. Thank you for having read it, and if you can, please, spread the word so you can also contribute to a better quality of life amongst your loved ones. Thank you.

Sleep and cardiovascular activity are related- more heart attacks when daylight savings are on due to lesser sleep. Sleep and immune system- a huge 70% drop in immune killer cells when one gets a 4-hr sleep. The shorter your sleep shorter your life . There is a damaging impact of alcohol and caffeine on sleep Tips for better sleep: 1) Regularity in sleep - Sleep and wake up at the same time every day 2) Keep it cool- Keep the room cool for better sleep- optimal temperature is18degC If you toss and turn in bed- then go to a different room and do a different activity and come back when you feel sleepy- this will make associations in the brain between being sleepy and the bedroom

I was diagnosed with severe sleep apnea recently, after the first night of using my CPap machine….I woke up and it was unbelievable how much a difference it made, I realized this is what it is like to get a good nights sleep…life changing…I had 71 episodes per hour down to 1-2 per hour…life saving….my kids videoed me and showed it to me…they asked me to please get a sleep study…I’m so grateful I listened to them 🙏🏼 ladies if you are post menopause our rates of diagnosis equal that of men.

Also, if you are on a high pressure and are ever having difficulty tolerating it, talk to your Dr. About BIPAP, it'll help ease your breathing while on a higher pressure.

[@Thecriticalthinker02]

Having a part-time job and coursework at the age of 22 has made me realise how important sleep is to my health. After watching this TED talk, I now recognize how important it is to give it top priority. My ability to think clearly is strongly impacted by sleep. Getting enough sleep helps me stay focused and improves my memory. Exam preparation is greatly impacted by Walker's emphasis on the importance of sleep for memory consolidation. Sleep helps me manage my stress and maintain emotional stability. With the right amount of sleep, the stress of juggling work and school is much easier to handle. I am more anxious when I don't get enough sleep. On days when I don't get enough sleep, I am less forgiving. The impact on physical health is also significant. My immune system is weakened by burnout, which I may experience if I have to work through the night for work and classes. Walker emphasises the need of sleep for long-term recovery and wellness. To put it another way, I've come to understand how crucial sleep is to achieving optimal intellectual, emotional, and physical performance. Undoubtedly, combining responsibilities is a major task, but from now on, I will view sleep as a solid foundation that needs to be taken into account in my life rather than as an afterthought in my hectic schedule.

I’ve been an insomniac since college. Talked to many doctors (all I’ve spoken with have a very limited understanding of the problem). What he describes makes perfect sense. I feel like I have zero short term memory, I lose thing all the time, my thinking slows, takes me longer to come up with words/vocabulary, slows my writing and thinking. It’s horrendous. I get anxiety just thinking about going to bed. Hope more can be done in this area. I find if I just get into a rhythm, sometime I stay there. Usually takes meds to get me there but then I try to get myself off them and get natural sleep. Nothing is better than a full night of natural sleep. Nothing.

I read about this tip to stop your partner from snoring, and it works when I try it with my husband. I keep a bottle of room spray (you can also use perfume or body spray) next to my bed. When my husband is snoring, I hold it up a couple feet over his face and spray it up in the air. The spray settles down onto him and the smell causes him to stir, turn over, and stop snoring.
