Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
I’m usually up around 5am everyday, even when I’m in bed around 1am. I need to change this because school starts in less then a month. Is there anything I can do besides limit the amount of time I spend on the computer and the amount of television I watch? Are there any tricks to fall asleep faster and better?
My sons councler recommend trying melatonin at bedtime to see if that helps him sleep because he hasn’t ever slept through the night and has short REM cycles. Has anyone ever heard of this and/or tried it? I gave it to him 2 nights now but he also has a cold right now so I don’t know if that is also affecting the sleep so the pill isn’t helping or if he just needs to be on it for a certain amount of time before it can start to work. My 3 year old also doesn’t sleep through the night so I was going to ask about him taking it as well if it works for the 5 year old. BTW my mom, myself and even my grandma (my moms mom) don’t sleep well either, never have with really short REM cycles.
My psychiatrist suspects that I spend too much time in the REM stage of sleep. He mentioned a sleep study perhaps in the future, but is there anything I can do NOW to decrease the amount of time I spend in REM sleep?
Hey guys, I have a question for you. I’m 22 and have been having problems with fatigue. I recently did a sleep study and the tech running it told me I had a "very low amount of time in rem sleep". Only a doc can get me a legit diagnosis and that will take two weeks for her to get around to it. What might cause REM sleep deprivation?
Also, I got stats back that say I have 89% oxygen saturation.
Sometimes when I go to sleep and right before I fall asleep I become temporarily paralyzed. The amount of time varies but usually does not last longer than10-20 seconds. I also sometime feel presence in the room, and their have been some occasions that i would see an illusion that someone is standing over my bed.
1) What is this called?
2)Is it normal?
3)How do I prevent it?
4)Why does this happen?
Thanks
Let me first say that I am not a lazy person….but I can sleep unlimited amount of time and still be tired. I sleep through my alarm clock and don’t get up on time to go to class (college)…it’s caused problems between my husband and I because I sleep too late on the weekends, etc. My sleeping habits, problem…whatever you call it has caused distress in my life in more ways than one. And I have tried to fix it, and tell myself…damnit, you’re getting up at __ in the morning, and I never can seem to do it…I just keep hitting the snooze, telling myself that I’ll get up in 10 more min, and next thing I know it’s 4 hours later. Please help!
