Changes in sleep rhythms and readjusting to regular ones might interrupt sleep for those who are lucky enough to have some time off around the holidays, such as the majority of schoolchildren.
How much does this change impact our ability to sleep and stay awake when many Houstonians resume their regular sleep schedules and kids get ready to wake up early once more as classes resume? And how might we facilitate that changeover?
Dr. Sudha Tallavajhula, a Houston sleep specialist, responds to listeners’ questions regarding sleep and sleep disorders in an interview with Michael Hagerty.
Among the subjects that Dr. Tallavajhula discusses are:
- Sleep paralysis a listener experiences when waking up
- A listener who feels like he does great with less sleep than the typical 6-8 hours medical experts often recommend
- A listener’s concerns about why he has been tired enough to take 3-hour naps during the day despite getting a decent amount of sleep at night
- How sleep affects the brain’s ability to deal with traumatic events
- A listener’s concern about staying up too late and what health effects it might have
