Without studies like these the public will never know the importance of sleep. Thank you for this very useful information.

I am 47. I have slept walked since age 6. Insomnia so bad I have been awake for three days and averaged 3 hours on a good night. I have broken limbs and left the house. I have been on medicine for almost 20 years for neuralgia. It helps me nap throughout the night. The things we take for granted. My sleep talking is waking my whole house. I’m sure my autoimmune problems stem from these sleep problems. Thanks for this post. Sleepless in Boston

Even if i sleep at some point during the night I'm still exhausted during the day and need to take a nap or two if I'm not working. When I work I just push through but I just want to sleep all the time! It's inconvenient.

I have bouts of extreme insomnia that switches to extreme sleepiness. I've had this even as a kid. I can go 3 days with getting only 6 hours of sleep. Then, the insomnia seemingly goes away. Then, I got this thing where as soon I get home from work I get extreme sleepiness. I'll drink coffee or Mountain Dew to try and stay awake, but I almost always fall asleep.

I seem to fall asleep around 2 hours after sunset no matter how early or late the sun sets. Right now where I am the sun is setting around 6pm and so I'm falling asleep around 8pm. Most nights I simply can't stay awake longer. In June the sun will be setting around 9pm and I will be wide awake until 11 or 12 and literally can't make myself get sleepy earlier. I'm in my 60's and waking up during the night is very common now, so it is much harder for me to get enough sleep in the summer because I just can't fall asleep until much later at night. I can't find anything online even mentioning this sleep pattern. I do not have SAD, not depressed at all, just my sleep pattern is totally controlled by the time the sun sets.

I learned a lot, yet I didn't find out how to solve my issue. As an adult it is common for me to need 9-10 hours of sleep, and at the same time I have a very hard time falling asleep, and now my body is used to finally falling asleep at around 6 or 7 am and then waking up at anywhere from 4-5 pm. I have tried reversing my sleep by forcing myself to stay awake u til an appropriate time to fall asleep, and I have trie medications to force my body to sleep earlier, both of which have not worked, but actually exsasterbated the situation and made it worse! This sucks! It started when I was really young, I used to have night terrors, sleep walking, and crying out in my sleep, which made me afraid to go to sleep at night, and then a couple times when I was young I ended up sleeping for two days straight, and it seems to have made my sleep cycle worse ever since.

My husband rocks from side to side, yawns and then grinds his teeth in this process along with bouts of insomnia. I tell him this and he makes excuses. Won't get help. I am now sleeping in my daughters old room.

I saw Dr. Avidan for a couple years for narcolepsy w Cataplexy.

[jmaegm]

I've been behind on my sleep that I sometimes get weird thoughts something is wrong with me and I Google and these scientists doctors scare me more, so I just pray and discipline myself to stay home and get some good old fashion sleep and it works. OTC sleep aids every now and then and catching up on sleep leave phone alone.
