Dear Albert:

Thank you for your kind response. My problems of "sleep disorder" (in my case it means that the duration of sleep and awaking periods is changing haphazardly and I am tired of this situation. Thus I am very grateful to you for the idea to study the achievements with “delta-sleep inducing peptide”.

Also being a great optimist by nature - I am trying to find a way of how benefit from all these difficulties.

Thanks again,

Leonid

Леня, добрый день.

Как ты догадываешься, я и не психолог. Но следуя нашему менталитету дам тебе "один умный совет, но ты не обижайся" . :)

У меня когда-то была такая же проблема. Там правда были различные стрессовые ситуации. Ты говоришь, что у тебя все тихо да гладко, но разбирался ли ты со своим подсознанием? А там может быть всякое.

Итак. Аналогичная ситуация. Всякие попытки не спать днем, "что бы отоспаться ночью" только ухудшали ситуацию. И тогда, (может кто посоветовал, может сам дошел) я пошел от противного. На работе, или везде, где была возможность, как только возникало желание поспать, я мгновенно прекращал все дела, клал голову на стол и засыпал. Сон обычно длился 10-20 минут. Но внутреннее ощущение било гораздо лучше. Буквально за недели 2-3 все нормализовалось. Попробуй.

Николай. 

Спасибо, Коля :

Как ты, наверно, догадываешься - стрессовых ситуаций полным-полно.

И уже очень давно - без феназепама - я не засыпаю.

Проблема же в том, что после очень короткого сна 1.5-2 часа

я чувствую себя абсолютно выспавшимся и готовым к работе.

Мне это кажется странным.

Однако, еслu я сажусь работать - то около 5pm - меня тянет в сон.

И снова 1-1.5 часа - вполне достаточно чтобы полностью восстановиться.

Вот и живу я по совершенно непонятному расписанию.

Такие дела.

 Dear Leonid, you might want to discuss your issue with Dr. Nikola Trajanovic. He is my former colleague and an eminent sleep physician. He should be somewhere close to your place.

As a matter of fact, it is not easy to give an opinion. there are numerous questions needs to be asked and history should be taken before someone could throw in some ideas what might be going on. 

For example, how long you have this problem, is anyone in your family has similar issues, do you think of any trigger, do you take daytime naps, for how long, what is your typical day, how do you sleep during the week vs weekend, are you stressed, have you ever seen any psychiatrist for a depression, if not, are you feeling down, how many days you do exercise, how is your sleeping environment like (e.g. lighting condition, clock, electronic gadgets such as tv, ipad, phone, or other equipment, lighting in the room, would you consider yourself as an anxious person, etc. 

Having a quite smooth life doesn't translate to a good health condition. There are many incidences that a disease or a disorder is not diagnosed. For example, you might have an diagnosed condition such as an anxiety or depression. On other situations, sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, restless legs, etc. could also could poor sleep.

So it need to be properly diagnosed by a sleep physician. 

The article that you talk about is, 'Segmented sleep' by Roger Ekirch

Dear Dr.  Pandi-Perumal Seithikurippu Ratnas :

Thank you very much for your letter.

Reading it I felt your sincere wish to help me out of my sleep disorder (SD problems.

And at the same time I had a feeling that many factors  leading to SD you have listed -

it was me - who described///listed them (excluding the sound or light producing gadgets). I realize all the seriousness of my SD  problems... and of course my life is not going too smooth. But I can  not place the details in public i.e., on RG.You are right - the best would be to discuss it face-to-face with a good specialist.

Thank you once again for your kind letter.

Sincerely yours,               Leonid    [email protected]

Dear Dmitry:

Thank you for your note.

I never drink alcohol; but - lots of coffee (with sugar and milk); also I smoke I guess - too much. As to dancing - I  do not dance, but my Father in 1935-1936 attended the dancing classes - and was very good in dances.

Dear colleague

Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles, and reduced interactions with surroundings. It is distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, but is more easily reversed than the state of hibernation or of being comatose. Recent research has shown that an essential function of sleep is to remove waste products from the brain. Humans may suffer from a number of sleep disorders. These include dyssomnias such as insomnia, hypersomnia, narcolepsy, and sleep apnea parasomnias such as sleepwalking disorder bruxism, and the circadian rhythm sleep disorders. In addition to age, other factors can affect how many hours of sleep you need. However, your sleeping patterns might change. Previous sleep deprivation. If you're sleep deprived, the amount of sleep you need increases. Sleep quality. If your sleep is frequently interrupted, you're not getting quality sleep. The quality of your sleep is just as important as the quantity. Some people claim to feel rested on just a few hours of sleep a night, but their performance is likely affected. Research shows that people who sleep so little over many nights don't perform as well on complex mental tasks as do people who get closer to seven hours of sleep a night.

I hope for all a quiet sleep

Dear Ahmed:

Thank you very much for your important professional comments.

Leonid

Dear Dmitry:

You certainly understand that the minuses can not come from me. Statistically the number of strange people - in any country is the same.

Of course  I realise that tobacco and coffee (by the way, by education I am a chemist rather then physicist) undoubtedly are harmful for health... But as chemist I often work with substances which are incomparably much more harmful...

Nonetheless every year  am planning to quit smoking....

Thank you for your good advices,,          Leonid

Well the duration of sleep varies from one age group to another age group. And as far as i know the people who do workouts in GYM should have atleast 7Hrs of sound sleep, so that they can be refreshed and get ready for the workout again the next day.

Yes, Dmitry,  I fully agree with your comments ... and certainly have to change my work-style. Will try !  But I should not decrease the amount of stimulants gradually - it will not work in my case.  "once and forever " - should work despite too much stress.

Thank you.                         Leonid

Dear Dmitry:

Not yet, but it will come -  I am on the way to it.

Thank you !        Leonid
