After my first sleep study, the technician there sat down with me to discuss the results. She started off using more common terms, but I explained that I had a rather high interest in the subject and there was no need to simplify it for me. She looked genuinely excited by that and went off into full jargon, pointing things out and explaining it all in depth. Turns out I spend 2% of my night in REM. Average is 20%. While meeting with a neuropsychologist, I brought up my insomnia that I've had since literal birth and he was more akin to the sleep medicine doctor in this video. Weirdest part of the interaction being that he'd make me repeat after him: The bed is only for sleep and intimacy. It wasn't enough for me to say it was for sleep. He'd always jump in, "AND intimacy!" Yes, thank you.

@@Jakethesnake607 You're not wrong. It's too easy to lay in bed and scroll through whatever app you use. Even with a blue light filter and minimum brightness, or even a dark mode on a device, the light itself is going to keep you awake longer. Light interferes with circadian signals, so you just don't get the sign to fall asleep. It's mostly about conditioning the mind, though. You're training yourself to fall asleep better and more deeply when you sleep in the place your mind associates with sleeping. It works best if you can associate the whole room, but not everyone has that opportunity. I certainly don't. But you can train your mind to do a lot of different things, like keeping a dream journal if you want to better remember your dreams. Sleep hygiene is a really fascinating subject and there's a lot of things people can employ to get better sleep. It's not just about the firmness of your mattress and the thread count on your sheets. It's about the ritual of it all and how one goes to bed. By actually following proper advice, I went from spending an hour, sometimes up to three, to fall asleep down to twenty minutes. If I feel it's necessary, I can cheat my way into five minutes.

With chronic migraines for a few yrs I would sleep 12-20 hrs a day. On the bad days I'd only wake to pee. Didn't eat, just wake, pee, maybe drink water, and sleep. Now my bladder holds a liter or more to accommodate my body not waking me to pee more frequently. I quickly drop into stage 3 sleep, but instead of staying there like it should, I quickly jump back up to stage 1 after 5-10 min, probably due to the pain or apnea. The cycle of exhaustion is real. Now I'm on a stimulant for ADHD, I had been on armodafinil for the OSA with limited success, and the new stimulant has given me somewhat normal sleep hours even if it hasn't totally fixed the problem. People don't realize how detrimental these conditions are to daily functioning. They just say, "Oh, you're a little sleepy? Just drink a coffee or energy drink and get over it!" Coffee makes me sleepy, so nah not gonna help.

Best decision of my life. I never knew what it felt like to get good sleep! I can wake up on time now too! Getting enough sleep is life-changing - ask any of my patients who wear their CPAPs faithfully. I remember one guy with COVID who got a (relatively minor) pneumothorax and we had to take the CPAP off him till it could be treated. That CPAP had been blasting dry, cold, high-concentration oxygen into his face at an obscenely high pressure to keep him oxygenated, but he was *so upset* about me taking it off him because "How am I supposed to get any rest like this?" He wanted nothing to do with the quiet, warm, humidified nasal cannula. The poor fellow died in the end. Delta was a rough time. (If you're afraid you need a CPAP and it'll be awful, don't worry. Home units are much quieter and comfier, plus he was on especially high settings due to his COVID.)

Yeah I went in for a sleep study looking for something unusual and the follow up call I got was "you don't have obstructive sleep apnea. Bye" and like. Yeah. I know. That wasn't in the list of things we were looking for because we know I don't have it. We were looking for anything else. ... Also their only appointment was midnight to 5, which are some of my most productive awake hours, so I couldn't actually sleep. And even if I could have, that's a maximum of 5 hours. Seriously?

Yes our local sleep specialists are pulmonologists. They don't see you ever, do a phone interview and you fill out a tick list. That list is about sleep apnea and snoring only. I can't sleep due to head injury and strokes, but neuro says "that's sleep mecicine". Sleep medicine, hmm u don't have sleep apnea. I know. So I gave up.

Loved the getup for Sleep Doc. 😊 My dad did a sleep study, and it was unfortunately entirely useless because the doctors said “you don’t have sleep apnea” (which he knew) and didn’t even think it was a problem worth investigating that he wasn’t sleeping for prolonged periods (which is why he got the sleep study done). It seems like in our area (Oregon) sleep study facilities just want to diagnose sleep apnea and sell sleep apnea aid devices rather than solve any other kind of sleep-related issues. I wonder if that’s the case in other regions??
@jesuisamusante11 ай бұрын
It absolutely is. I’m in Utah and I had the same thing happen with the first sleep specialist I went to. She also suggested I eat more probiotics and exercise more (which is decidedly not a treatment for insomnia). I ended up going to a specialist at the local university’s sleep clinic and she was able to actually diagnose me. I figured going somewhere that they actually do sleep research would have a better chance at identifying my non-apnea issue, and I was right.

In my high school, we had a presentation from some of Dr. Dement's Stanford students about sleep hygiene, sleep schedules, and the importance of sleep. This was extra funny because we got to hear all about how teenagers have later sleep schedules than adults, but the presentation was held during first period at 7:50am. Anyway, Dr. Dement was very cool, he pioneered a lot of sleep apnea research and he apparently let students sleep in class, because if they were sleeping during class, they must REALLY need it and he was literally teaching them about all the harms that can be done by lack of sleep.

They seemed to function really well, better than i do in fact, but i have always wondered what was going on there.

Bitch sleep is your entire thing. Got my GP to do it, learned i could stay awake with two ambien, stoned off my ass. Thats how i discovered my ADHD was crippling me with insomnia so severe i slept 5 hours a week. By wasting over a year with a bad sleep doctor.

My neurologist wanted to do a test to check something in my brain. I was taken to a room like the one these doctors were about to enter. I got on a bed that felt like a cloud. The electrodes were attached to my head and I was asked to remain still. The lights were turned out and I was told that I could even fall asleep. Was it a coincidence that the test lasted 20 minutes? The urge to fall asleep was overwhelming but I couldn't stop enjoying the feeling of that bed! Floating on a cloud is how it felt with no pressure anywhere! I could have slept for hours until I tried to turn my head. 😮 When the test was over, they quietly returned to the room, as if to not awake me. Only subtle light was used to remove the electrodes as they spoke softly. They informed me the test was concluded and I was free to go. I felt tears forming and they said I could take a minute to regain my bearings. I truly understood the meaning of sleep hygiene for the first time in my life. Even though this wasn't a sleep test, this was clearly the surroundings for one. Although they looked at me funny when I was leaving and asked if I could return every night at 10:00. I've since gotten blackout curtains and invested in a new bed. I sleep much better now and haven't had to return to the sleep room, one of the most enjoyable places I've ever been.💤 If I ever have a restless night, I close my eyes and imagine I'm back in that room. Or on a beach while the sun is setting and the waves are rolling in. Because when you dream of being on a beach, there's no sand when you wake up! 👍

Thanks Dr. G for showcasing a need that has hit a nerve with many of your loyal followers! The discussions are spirited with what helps one sleep deprived fan over another! 2 points: I participated in a double blind research study at Northwestern that was attempting to determine if medical grade marijuana helped with sleep apnea. I had to stay overnight every 2-3 weeks for a sleep study and then I'd get my nightly capsules for the next few weeks to take about 30 minutes before bed time. I also had to fill out a daily questionnaire of how I felt I slept, yadda-yadda-yadda! After it was completed we were supposed to find out If we got the real pot or the placebo. The study continued on for around 8 months. That was several years ago and I still don't know what I was given! 2) I find that if I am having a hard time falling asleep if I take 3-5 DEEP breaths (expanding my lungs fully) inhaling through my nose and exhaling through my mouth it helps my brain to shut down enough to fall asleep! I try to picture positive energy with every inhale and expelling negative energy with every exhale.
