Hi All,

I wanted to start this thread for those of you, who like myself, are struggling with not getting restorative, deep sleep. And here, I’m not referring to the odd day of light sleep here and there, but going for long stretches and months without restorative sleep.

My hope is that this thread will attract folks who can offer tips on how to combat this based on their own successes.

I’ve done a ton of research on this topic. Doesn’t seem like much is known about it. Many sleep programs offer solutions for people with issues falling asleep and staying asleep. These same programs are largely silent on the issue of non-restorative sleep.

Please do chime in if you have struggled with this issue, and you’re now faring better with the quality of your sleep.

From a sleep architecture standpoint, it’s extremely rare for anyone to miss out on sufficient deep sleep for an extended period of time. That’s because the body prioritizes deep sleep, and we get virtually all of our deep sleep in the first third of the night. So, even if you only get two or three hours of sleep you are almost certainly getting enough deep sleep.

It’s also important to recognize that how we feel during the day is far less connected to sleep than we often think. Fatigue is a primary complaint among people with insomnia — yet fatigue is caused by much more than just insufficient sleep (for example, the mental fatigue associated with sleep effort, sleep research, sleep-related worry, and daytime inactivity).
