Answer 1

Hi first of all you have a serious problem that could actually KILL you! Sleep apnea actually nearly killed ME! And got me to go to one of those sleep labs where they did a overnight study and found out the exact type of apnea and other problems I had sleeping. I also had that leg jerking thing!

You see my wife of 29 years who I love dearly tried to get me to seek help but until I actually DIED DEAD for a while on the operating table for a simple operation was this hard headed husband ready to admit he had a problem! My sweet tail was in the Sleep Lab within the Month!

This has made me somewhat of a fanatic on encouraging people to go to Sleep Labs! You see just the other day I heard on the news where some national star died of sleep apnea! Well when we go into a deep sleep , what is called REM a stage where our eyes actually move around (rapid eye movement) it is the time when our brain can unwind! in all the other 5 levels of sleep the body sleeps but in this level our brain finally gets to sleep! Now the body operates on automatic! On the type of sleep apnea that I have my auto breath fails! After 5 or so missed breaths the brain misses oxygen and wakes the body up somewhat .... sends a signal to the lungs to gasp for air! Then later on maybe drops back into REM! All this goes on while you are asleep! You never know it! But though I am asleep on the outside MY BRAIN IS NOT GETTING ITS SLEEP! SO AS A RESULT I AM TIRED!!!

Just off hand two things interupt our brains REM sleep they are the sleep apnea and RLS or restless leg syndrome where leg twitches again disturb the brain from going into the REM level of sleep!



Problem is if you are real tired and in a super tired deep sleep or on drugs or drunk you simply DO NOT WAKE UP EVER!

YOU HAVE A PROBLEM AND NEED TREATMENT!

I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL FEEL MUCH BETTER!!!

SLEEP WILL BE MUCH HIGHER QUALITY! IT HAS GIVEN ME A MUCH BETTER OUTLOOK ON LIFE! BUT YOU NEED TO GO TO A SLEEP LAB FOR EVALUATION!

IT IS EASILY TREATED NO SURGERY JUST A LITTLE MACHINE WHILE YOU SLEEP!

GET GOING!

You may have a condition called Sleep Apnea. It's when you stop breathing many times during your normal sleeping time. You don't realize it but your body is waking itself up numerous times throughout the night in order to kickstart your breathing again. If you are a snorer, that is a sign that you may have this condition. what happens is that the fatty tissue in the back of your throat and around your neck block your airway when you fall asleep. The vibration of air trying to pass this tissue is the snoring that may wake you up in the night. At some point, the tissue completely blocks your airway. Yous body attempts to get the air in, but to no avail. You then wake up and gasp to catch your breath. People with apnea do this all night long. So imagine how hard it is to get quality rest when your body is constantly waking up for seconds at a time to keep you breathing. That's why you don't feel rested the next morning- because you haven't rested. Your doctor could suggest you have a sleep study. During this test, your sleeping and breathing patterns are monitored and recorded to see if you do indeed have sleep apnea. Go see your physician. Hope this helps. There are other possible reasons for you not getting proper rest, but this is the most common and most likely reason. Good luck.

The only other thing I can add to what others have already written is to be sure you have a good mattress, (not an old one that is kaput).

After that, just know that all ppl are different, some are total night owls and start coming alive in the evening. Some (like me) need a refreshing shower and/or a cuppa coffee to get going in the morning. Some hop out of bed declaring to the world what a wonderful day it is, right from the get-go. (personally I think that ought to be against the law! ahaha).. And then there is the majority of folks who fall somewhere in between. But it's all good. Just need to figure out what type of person you are and roll with it. :)

There are a few possible reasons why, but it usually narrows to one of two reasons, apnea or lack of deep sleep. Apnea (periods of time when your breathing stops) is due to airway obstruction. This can be caused by swollen tonsils, stuffy nose, a uvula, and/or obesity. If your breathing slows or stops during sleep, you are not getting oxygen to your blood. If your body is deprived of sufficient oxygen for eight hours (or however long you sleep) you are certainly going to feel tired most of the next day! You can get a sleep study done by most pulmonoligists (lung doctors) and they will measure how often your breathing stops and the oxygen level in your bloodstream continuously throughout your sleep. If your test shows you have apnea, they will recommend a device to give you oxygen during the night.
In the meantime, try sleeping sitting up in a reclining chair or propped on several pillows that extend down your back to "angle" you so you're in more of a reclining position rather than dead flat.
My brother in law suffered apnea, until he went to weight watchers and lost eighty pounds. His airway opened up again.

If you are thin and just not getting deep sleep, there are a few things that can help.
Melatonin is a hormone your body produces in deep sleep, this is available over the counter in tablet form at most drugstores, I would recommend starting with the lowest dose right before you go to bed, and see how your body reacts to this.
Also, lay off the caffeine for about six to eight hours before bedtime. It takes a while to work its way out of your system.
Benadryl (diphenhydramine) can help you sleep, but in some people it causes respiratory problems (so if you have apnea, I wouldn't recommend it! )

I hope this answer helps. I wish you luck.

Answer 5

Some people just aren't morning people. I never wake up bright-eyed and bushy-tailed either. I'm better when I get out of the shower.

Answer 6

Insomnia (sleeplessness) is due to stress, dietary and medical
problems. By making small lifestyle changes like having a fixed
daily routine, relaxing and eating properly, insomnia can be
cured. I found the information at http://tinyurl.com/jfzpz useful
for getting sleep.
