Thread: Sleep deprivation

I have the opposite problem. When I sleep more than 3 hours I feel sleep deprived. I don't get it, does anyone else wake up after a few hours and feel like they no longer need sleep?

I believe it is all about training our minds. I was reading that we learn as kids the power of habit and repetition and as adults we ignore it. If you tell yourself that three hours is enough sleep after a while, your mind will believe it. It's all about feeding negativity to our "reptile mind" - another term I came across while reading. I am certainly learning a lot. One strategy is to stay in bed, when you feel ethe urge to get up after just a few hours, fight it, calm your mind, think pleasant, relaxing thoughts and rest your body.

Due to depression, I have been unable to sleep more than 4 hours a day for the last 4 months even with sleeping aid. Now, my brain is 80% dead, it hurts, reacts slow, can not reason things, and I become very weak also. I worried that I would not be able to get up from bed and handle daily chore soon.
