What's interesting for me is that I read this post MINUTES after telling a sleep-deprived student that their sudden extreme depression might be from lack of sleep over anything else. There's a reason sleep deprivation is such an effective form of torture...raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10808097290710098393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-62556485505102509632010-10-03T11:06:46.195+02:002010-10-03T11:06:46.195+02:00Graham, that sounds plausible to me.

I've always been in need of a lot more than that, or I'd be like a nervous wreck of a zombie in the daytime!DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-20658933345817367652010-10-03T10:51:55.269+02:002010-10-03T10:51:55.269+02:00Ginny, yes, weight problems were mentioned as well...Ginny, yes, weight problems were mentioned as well. That too had to do with a disturbance in hormone levels, like insulin production. That can make people lose the natural sense of being hungry vs full so that they eat a lot more than they need. And then of course it easily becomes a vicious circle.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13956409908791716009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-75055132760999561522010-10-03T09:28:49.889+02:002010-10-03T09:28:49.889+02:00That's a really interesting post, Monica, and ...That's a really interesting post, Monica, and continues the theme we have discussed so often.<br /><br />What it might explain is why I had a heart attack many years ago. For a while immediately beforehand I was down from my usual 5 hours sleep a night (which, for much of my life was my usual requirement) to about 3 or 4 hours which I knew was too little.Graham Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11196744947133121475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442254671730490997.post-23119835009248403902010-10-03T07:12:18.139+02:002010-10-03T07:12:18.139+02:00Interesting stuff.

One thing I learned here is about late and early dreams. So THAT is why my morning dreams are always so complex!! People who get more sleep don't have as much weight problems, but to me that's because you can't eat when you're asleep! the more time you spend sleeping, The less time you have for eating!! But I suppose it just can't be that simple.Ginny Hartzlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09329131153403895625noreply@blogger.com
