Deep sleep problem? Sounds weird?

[Anonymous]

The last week i have a serious deep sleep problem and it sounds really weird, and dangerous. Rumor is that if someone has a deep sleep make his brain shrink and slowly starts to resemble a fish !!! (yeah believe it or not!! )

Anyway how on earth is it possible when i have my mobile phone NEXT to my pillow, and have set 5 different notifications that each one rings every 10 mins yet not hearing them? And i'm sure it rings because i've tested it before.

And besides that i've another one alarm clock that it is about 1.5' away from my bed and it rings CONTINUOUSLY for almost a full hour. Today for example i was about to wake up 8:30 AM and i woke up like 9:20-25 AM

Sounds very weird to me because i always was a person that woke up on the first notification or the second at most.

This happens everyday the last week. i was waking up 8:00 AM and now it became 9:30 AM. fortunately i don't work so it won't affect me negatively.

Also my sleep hours from 6 have become about 6.5 hrs.

Anyway what can i do to fix it?

Are you in anyway overweight or deemed unfit? Maybe you're drinking too much? Drink more water, regulate your hours, set schedules, let your body adjust for a few weeks and stay true to the schedules.

There's so many factors and so much potential.

I usually can't sleep unless its pin drop silent and usually wake up if someone calls my name Once. Really depends on what mentality I sleep with. If there's a certain time I need to wake up, I usually wake up before or around that time. No alarm. Just me.

overweight? me? the not-even 120 lbs dude? what an insult :-((((

and no i don't drink

Did you drink before going to bed or smoke something?

Have you always had alarms set like that and it worked or have you set them like that because you're oversleeping? A regular and familiar noise, once you've initially woken then fallen back asleep, can be ignored if your body really doesn't want to wake up.

i do this for like 1 year and it worked on the first or in the second notification at most

Hmm, I don't know then, anything change to your daily routine? Stress? Illness? Travel?

And come on them, tell me about the fish brain thing...

[Asker]

stress? me? LOL

i don't know what it is, but i can blame it on winter, i guess.

as for the fish thing i meant that your mind becomes like a mind of a fish. deep sleep affects your memory. i've heard that rumor though, and i don't know if it's verified

Studies have shown that not getting deep REM sleep can have a detrimental effect on your health.

Your body obviously knows what it needs, let it recover and do its thing, I'm sure you'll get back to normal soon. Thanks for the MH!

It's acrua more common than you think. But if you're really worried, talk to a specialist. Although I doubt you'll have to.
