Anyone here sleep deprived? If so, how do you normally deal with the symptoms and function adequately?

>> No.733021

You need to budget for sleep. There is no way around it.

Maybe that is the case, but their are certainly alot of professionals who seem to function adequetely while sleep deprived, so how do they do it?

>> No.733024

You must get enough sleep. If you don't get enough rest you will fall behind the pack, and whether it's co-workers or colleagues, you can't afford to be in last place.

You already know the answer to this, you've heard it your whole life. Go to sleep on time and wake up on time, consistency is key.

After awhile I've noticed I can sleep for less hours and still feel awake and energized all day.

Its not hard to fool a doctor into thinking you have a focus-disorder if you don't. I'm sure plenty of people do. Its easy to get a prescription for a stimulant.
I have diagnosed ADHD and require Adderrall to function at the highest level, though.

A warning-- it will eliminate your appetite for hours at a time, you'll need to drink a ton of water, it can be very addictive if abused, and it can make erratic sleep patterns even worse if you take it improperly.

I've been sleep deprived before. The felling is unbearable,your body can't function through the day without having sleep. I would find myself mumbling words and not thinking correctly while doing simple tasks.

basically this < Go to sleep on time and wake up on time. Well help you get your sleep schedule back.

Internet can provide you with melatonin bro. It's all about habit. If you consistently sleep say 6 hours, your body will get used to it. I can't sleep more than 6 hours at a time even if I try my absolute best.

Is melatonin banned in the UK or something? The fuck

I cope with a lot of exercise both to deal with stress and go /fit/ while tiring your body out but sometimes that's not an option when your day is absolutely booked, otherwise I take benadryl but if melatonin is banned in the UK, it probably is as well. Your laws are crazy m8, you should hang your politicians

i take 200mg caffeine pills when im really dead.You can get them in any pharmacy. but yeah consistency with sleep is key. you need your body to be on a schedule. If nothing else works smoking any type of indica before bed will help you out tremendously if you cannot sleep.

The most important thing is to set a time that you go to bed, as well a specific time that you get your ass out of bed.
