sleep DOES effect your daily life. you need at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night to be fully rested. a bad nights sleep, or no sleep, can put off your whole day. go long enough without sleep, and your brain will shut down and sleep, whenever it wants to.\n\ni go to sleep about 11pm and get up anywhere between 7am and 9am.

Yes it IS important that you establish some sort of routine before you go to bed, but I have to ask if you are under any stress? Stress can be SO devastating in SO many aspects of our lives. It can affect eating, sleeping, moods, any and all physical and emotional areas of our lives. So ask yourself if there is ANY stress in your life....... it can be the tiniest thing.

Yes there is, you are right to say "you sleep a lot you will have a tendency to gain weight since little energy is exerted ". Besides, sleeping too much will make you terribly tired, even more tired than before sleeping.

I too have had my lady parts take a nap. . .definitely a strange feeling but everything seems to wake up nicely if I get up and move around. Usually only happens if I am sitting too long.  I personally don't worry about it, though it is usually a bit inconvenient (and funny too).

Well, yes. But there are a lot of people that do it when they go out weekends. Try my work schedule. I work tue-thurs 8am-4pm and fri/sat from 11pm to 7am!\nI'm all messed up!! Seems you should be getting enough sleep though. Nine hours weekdays and ten hours on the weekend is pretty good! If thats a regular pattern bodies tend to adjust after while.

You are right,\n\nBefore visiting a Doctor we should at least look at the most basic issues that can affect sleep.\n\n1) How late did you go to sleep Id eally especially if you are in recuperating mode, go to sleep before 10pm\n2) Did you eat stimulant foods prior to sleep (4 to 6 hours)  \n     Such as sugar based foods (deserts, Soda Pops, Coffee, Teas etc...) and Smoking has a lot of stimulants and create major fatigue issues.\n3) Do you work before going to sleep..(it makes the mind very active) It might be better to do something laid back an hour before sleeping (avoid watching the news... but rather read something relaxing or take a walk)\n4) Do you eat too late.... Try to eat around 6 o clockish at the latest and eat light for dinner.\n5) Do you exercise or go to Gym in the evening... It does affect many peoples Sleep as it stimulates the body.\n6) Did you have a all nighter or almost recently.. It can take a couple of nights of normal sleep to recuperate\n7) Did you drink Surenal gland penalising drinks such as Coffee and Bear...\n8) It can take a while before alcoohol gets absorbs into the system... It looks like it may make you body relax but it actually, for many, makes sleep very light and not deep at all. \n9) Do you drink enough water (makes sur you drink it based on Turst and not quantity)\n\nSo hope this common sense gigi helped !

Everything depends on the individual.\n\nIf a person has trouble sleeping at night, then they should not nap during the day.   That being said, most people get refreshed from a nap provided they do not nap too long.  Again, the individual makes their own assessment.

To be honest, I think it is just what you suspected : While you may have felt that you never slept......you really did drop off a few times each evening.\n\n  If you do any reading on this subject, it's pretty clear that the brain needs sleep, or the person really does start exibiting some fairly serious symptoms. \n\n   Not just being tired, but....things like rather major delusions and hallucinations of fairly spooky proportions.\n\n  So.....if you actually spent some time in bed.....my guess is that you did get sleep, even if it may have not seemed like it at the time.\n\n  Bob J.

I eat lots of different foods at all hours of the day and  night (including cheese) and can honestly say that i sleep so heavy that it is very rare i am aware of dreaming at all (although my wife says i talk a lot in my sleep) - so do i dream or not? and as for the cheese it made no difference to my dreaming or lack of at all.

Sleep deprivation is a common condition that afflicts 47 million American adults, or almost a quarter of the adult population. Symptoms can interfere with memory, energy levels, mental abilities, and emotional mood. A study conducted by the University of Chicago Medical Center in 1999 indicates that the condition drastically affects the body's ability to metabolize glucose, leading to symptoms that mimic early-stage diabetes.\n\nSo why do we sleep? This is a question that has baffled scientists for centuries and the answer is, no one is really sure. Some believe that sleep gives the body a chance to recuperate from the day's activities but in reality, the amount of energy saved by sleeping for even eight hours is miniscule - about 50 kCal, the same amount of energy in a piece of toast.\n\nWe have to sleep because it is essential to maintaining normal levels of cognitive skills such as speech, memory, innovative and flexible thinking. In other words, sleep plays a significant role in brain development.  The brain's frontal cortex relies on sleep to function effectively. Again, insufficient rest adversely affects the frontal cortex's ability to control speech, access memory, and solve problems. The effect on physical energy is also startling: otherwise healthy people quickly show symptoms of age and early diabetes as glucose metabolism falls by up to forty percent. These physical reactions disappear when the test subject is allowed to rest properly. \n\nExhaustion, fatigue and lack of physical energy are common sleep deprivation symptoms. Exhaustion and fatigue affect our emotional moods, causing pessimism, sadness, stress and anger. The National Sleep Foundation (NSF) has suggested that social problems such as road rage may be caused, in part, by a national epidemic of sleepiness.

You should change your normal daily habits. When you sleep to much your body gets used to that and makes you constantly tired. It can also lead to being over weight. I would recomend that you try waking up early and going to bed at like 10pm. Also eat like 3 meals at a set time everyday and do a little excercise. After a week or two you'll feel better and if not my bad

when we sleep our brains dont shut down but slow down.  we rejuvinate our brain causing us to think more clearly and be more preductive in just about everything we do.  It can effect the body in the long run.  Our muscles dont get the proper rest they require.  here are two links.  the first goes into great detail about what it does to the brain and the second is sleep deprivation fron diccovery.com

In my case, i'm actually fully awake and can hear everything that's going on around me, i just can move, speak or open my eyes.  The first few times it happened, it scared the whey out of me.  I still find it frightening.\n\nI did some research on it and while the people on here that have said it is part of our defense mechanism to keep us from acting out dreams and thereby harming ourselves or others, are correct, the sleep paralysis is actually different in that we are not dreaming when it happens.\n\nYou can use any and/or all of the search engines available and find quite a bit of information on it.\n\nOne of the things i find most helpful is a tip i read on one of the sites.  It said to rapidly move your eyes back and forth or to try moving your feet.  While these don't always work, i have found that sometimes they do and when they do work, i can bring myself out of it.\n\nAnother thing i do is try not to sleep during the day if i'm home alone.  In my case, it happens if i nap; but, because of some other health issues, i nap a lot.  So, if i have to sleep during the day, i will either do it while my husband is home or i'll call my sister or a friend ~ in any case, i ask someone to either come in or call after an hour and wake me up.\n\nThere are some that associate sleep paralysis with narcolepsy, so you might want to use the available search engines and do some research.\n\nFOR THE PERSON WITH THE NECK PROBLEMS:  Could you please explain how it is related to your neck problems?  I, too, have neck problems and i'm always wanting to learn more about the sleep paralysis.
