No sleep

If you’re tired yet unable to fall asleep, it could be due to your circadian rhythm being off, daytime napping, anxiety, or many other factors. Some days — no matter how much coffee you consume — it’s a struggle to keep your eyes open, let alone complete the tasks you need to do at home or work. Yet all too often, when you finally climb into bed, you find yourself wide awake. It’s frustrating. What the heck is going on? Before you reach for those The This system uses light, dark, and our biological clock to regulate body temperature, metabolism, hormones (including The body’s master clock is called the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Located in the brain, the SCN controls melatonin production. This hormone helps regulate sleep. During the day when it’s light outside, melatonin levels remain low. Later in the day, as it grows darker, our bodies produce more melatonin, with levels peaking between 2 and 4 a.m. before falling again. Our bodies are best primed to fall asleep about 2 hours after melatonin levels start to rise. Everybody has their own circadian rhythm, Winter explains, which to some extent is genetic. So, unlike what your parents told you when you were a kid, there’s no reason you “need” to go to bed at a certain time. “I don’t care what someone’s schedule is, as long as it feels right for them and is healthy,” Winter says. However, if you’re tired but can’t sleep, your circadian rhythm may be off. This could be a sign of DSPS affects young people more, with a pre...

Overview Insomnia is a common sleep disorder that can make it hard to fall asleep, hard to stay asleep, or cause you to wake up too early and not be able to get back to sleep. You may still feel tired when you wake up. Insomnia can sap not only your energy level and mood but also your health, work performance and quality of life. How much sleep is enough varies from person to person, but most adults need seven to eight hours a night. At some point, many adults experience short-term (acute) insomnia, which lasts for days or weeks. It's usually the result of stress or a traumatic event. But some people have long-term (chronic) insomnia that lasts for a month or more. Insomnia may be the primary problem, or it may be associated with other medical conditions or medications. You don't have to put up with sleepless nights. Simple changes in your daily habits can often help. Symptoms Insomnia symptoms may include: • Difficulty falling asleep at night • Waking up during the night • Waking up too early • Not feeling well-rested after a night's sleep • Daytime tiredness or sleepiness • Irritability, depression or anxiety • Difficulty paying attention, focusing on tasks or remembering • Increased errors or accidents • Ongoing worries about sleep When to see a doctor If insomnia makes it hard for you to function during the day, see your doctor to identify the cause of your sleep problem and how it can be treated.

All-night study sessions, important business deals, new babies — most people will experience a taste of sleep deprivation at some point in life. While an occasional “As a society, as families and individuals, we have not yet fully appreciated the They’re so interconnected that each of them needs to be a priority, she adds. Everyone is different, but according to the Here’s what happens to the body when you miss out on shut-eye. After 24 hours of no sleep, stress hormones — specifically cortisol and adrenaline — increase to compensate for the fatigue we’re battling and to help us keep functioning, explains John Cline, PhD, an assistant professor of clinical psychology at the Yale School of Medicine and fellow of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. “The brain is trying to cope with not having its opportunity to rejuvenate itself, so we have these heightened stress hormones to keep the body activated,” Dr. Cline says. The consequences of sleep deprivation at 24 hours are comparable to the cognitive impairment of someone with a blood alcohol content of 0.1 percent, according to past . You have a reduced reaction time, slurred speech, and slowed thinking, says the That level of cognitive impairment could be enough to spell danger, depending on what you’re doing.

During sleep, your immune system releases proteins called cytokines, some of which help promote sleep. Certain cytokines need to increase when you have an infection or inflammation, or when you're under stress. Sleep deprivation may decrease production of these protective cytokines. In addition, infection-fighting antibodies and cells are reduced during periods when you don't get enough sleep. So, your body needs sleep to fight infectious diseases. Long-term lack of sleep also increases your risk of obesity, diabetes, and heart and blood vessel (cardiovascular) disease. How much sleep do you need to bolster your immune system? The optimal amount of sleep for most adults is seven to eight hours of good sleep each night. Teenagers need nine to 10 hours of sleep. School-aged children may need 10 or more hours of sleep. But more sleep isn't always better. For adults, sleeping more than nine to 10 hours a night may result in a poor quality of sleep, such as difficulty falling or staying asleep. • Brain basics: Understanding sleep.
