Sleep & Your Mental Health - Psychology with Sandy

Sleep & Your Mental Health

I new study published in Scientific America found that a lack of sleep can actually cause psychiatric symptoms and disorders. Do you have a mental illness or just a lack of sleep? Lack of sleep can cause emotional problems, irritability, depression, hallucination (dreaming while awake) and paranoia (as in schizophrenia), emotions instability (such as bipolar and personality disorders).

I can't get good sleep at night. I mean I sleep good , but when I wake up and never feel like I got enough sleep. So when I'm at work , I turn off the lights in the bathroom and doze off for like 20 seconds. Hopefully I can get on track again. I just feel like crap , sometimes I feel like people are better than me , and no matter how hard I try I can never get to the place I want to get.

@Retrofanatic10 We'll be posting a video about esteem pretty soon, it's a difficult topic but there are some things we can do improve our self-esteem and feel better about ourselves. Those feelings could definitely be causing your sleep troubles... hopefully we can help with both!

@msmithstud i had experienced as you.. what cause EHS? does it has something to do with the brain?

[Retrofanatic10]

@MormonManUtah Actually it's funny. I don't drink alot of caffeine , I mostly drink water. I've been eating healthier , I eat less meat now. I was also able to get 9 hours of sleep last night , so I feel a lot better.

@Retrofanatic10 If you drink products with Caffeine that explains a big part of your trouble. Caffeine and simple sugars lead to adrenal exhaustion. It becomes a viscious cycle you can't escape.  Stresses in life are contributors to adrenal exhaustion also. Poor diet also because every stressful meal adds more toll to overall amount of energy. If you workout, try meditational workouts vs. strenous. If you drive fast, slow down and relax. Every moment you can relax adds up over the day.

i've been suffering from EHS for a while but only experience from time to time. I'll be between the stage of awake and asleep and all the sudden i'll hear a loud noice that is a hallucination. The other night i heard what sounded like a car crashing into my house, so i ran into the living room and everything was fine. I also have a fan in my bedroom that i use as a white noise machine. The fan is not loud at all, but on 2 occasions it was so loud i thought a tornado was ripping through my room
