Why is it that you might fall asleep for 1-3hours, but then wake yourself up and not be able to sleep, or at max doze, for the next 3-4, hours? Maybe only sleeping for the last 30mins-1hour.

I take clonazepam given to me by my sleep doctor. I have no trouble falling asleep only staying asleep really and the meds keep me asleep but I know they’re very addictive so I don’t like to take them daily

How do you transition the baby to the toddler bed? What age? How do you keep them asleep in their own bed? I have an 18 month old and I’m thinking of transitioning from crib to bed

Thank you!

Do you have advice for how people can protect their ‘sleep health’ when they are unable to sleep in a bed regularly?

I sleep in a vehicle and I’ve think I racked up a considerable ‘sleep debt’ between work and stress from not having a place.

What steps can we take to help ourselves when chronically sleep deprived and unable to afford treatment?

A bit passed the AMA ... and not exactly related to daylight savings...

but what are your thoughts on the effects of rotating shift work compared to daylight savings?

​

ie: I work 12 hour shifts that rotate between day shifts and night shifts.. I work on a 2-2-3 rotation.. (2 days on.. 2 days off.. 3 nights on... 2 days off.. 2 days on 3 days off... repeat)

so every few days my sleep cycle changes by 12 hours... I've been working this schedule for 12 years and am pretty much burned out at this point...

In my dreams I can have extensive realistic discussions with other people about complex topics. How can the brain simulate multiple persons with plausible behavior?

I work in restaurant management (F&B), and routinely finish work at midnight - 1.00am. I'm back at the restaurant at 11am at the latest, often earlier for meetings. This is a 6 day per week schedule for me, and I always try to make the most of my 1 day off per week.

What are your recommendations for to get consistent rest during sleeping hours of 3-6 hours per night?

Hy I've had this problem i think all my life. I can fall asleep anywere if i let myself but i seem to go into REM sleep instantly and i wake up directly from REM sleep. Given this i find that even if i am woke up it gets me a few seconds to minutes to shake of the dream as in i hallucinate parts of the dream ... things and ppl and creatures i dream populate the real word for a time until they disipate. That sounds all fun and game and it certainly made for some funny situations in the past for the ppl around me (showing things that arent there making them look at a blank wall so that they could see what i see etc.) But now i have a child and i haven't taken care of her during the night just in case i wake up and hallucinate something and act accordingly. Is this just some active imagination or am i doing something wrong?

Hi there. Not a question about daylight savings but rather my own sleep. I was diagnosed with Parasomnia 10 years ago after I stayed at a sleep clinic and woke up about 200 times in a night. I take medication for it but despite that I am constantly tired and half awake throughout the night. I wake myself up talking/yelling/ thrashing around all the time. Is there anything I could possibly do to help myself sleep better? I practice good sleep hygiene as much as I can etc.
