Medical Forum / General / General / September 2005Help for sleep disorder
Hi, I have the sleep problem for more than 7 years. I can go to sleep quickly and the first 3 hours sleep is in depth. The problem is that I wake too early. Normally I wake after six hours sleeping. It is a little less for me. Sometimes I sleep only five or four hours. Although it is very normal(I can read and learn anything) in the first 2 or 3 hours after I get up, I am very tired and sleepy in the rest of time. Even though I sleep only four hours the previous night, I cannot sleep very long the next day because of the previous tiredness. Occasionally, if I sleep for 6 and a half hour, I would feel much better than 6 hours sleep. But it's rare for me to sleep that long. It is a kind of sleep disorder and it really bothers me. I have no other medical problem. I don't smoke. Everyday I do jogging regularly. I go to bed between 11:00...12:00 at night. Do you have some suggestions for me? Thank you very much. > Hi, > I have the sleep problem for more than 7 years.

I rarely sleep more than 6 hours (10pm to 4am) but I attribute that to a stressful job/perfection-seeking personality/discomfort from arthritis and therefore regard it as normal in my circumstances. When I am very stressed I often sleep for less than 6 hours; when I am holiday I sometimes sleep for more than 6 hours. The usual sleep 'hygiene' measures are mainly concerned with relieving the difficulty of falling asleep rather than waking up too soon. Early waking/poor sleeping can be stress-related and can sometimes be a feature of depression. Are you expecting more than your body is capable of in your circumstances? What are the causes and risks of the sleep disorder? Each sleep disorder has its own causes and risk factors. However, the following things worsen most sleep disorders: alcohol changes in the sleep schedule chronic illness or pain depression and anxiety drugs, such as caffeine, nicotine, and cocaine excessive daytime napping medicines, such as stimulants, cold medicines, and sleep medicines a poor sleep environment shift work stress People who are obese have an increased risk of sleep apnea. Narcolepsy and some other sleep disorders are thought to have a genetic component.

It is most certainly NOT normal for her if she is "very tired and sleepy" most of the day.

I do jogging because I think it is not a bad idea to make me active. It's only a 3 km exercise. I sometimes take hot water showing in the morning for the same purpose. Only when the symtom is minor, it works. When I don't do jogging, I cannot find anything better. If I go to bed earlier at night, I would wake earlier. |
