    A: Only if the podcast actually good, and it keeps you awake.

      I've had trouble sleeping most of my life, even when doing grueling manual labor jobs, coming home I'd still have trouble sleeping. One day I forgot to turn on a podcast on my phone to fall asleep to on low volume like I usually do. I got eight hours of unbroken sleep for the first time in a while.
      I think if you're a light sleeper, or maybe just to experiment, you should turn your phone off before bed. Worked for me.

    I am constantly in a REM sleep. How do I get into deep or light sleep? How do you know if you are awake or asleep?

      Why do you think you are constantly in a REM sleep? It is not physiologically possible to constantly be in a REM sleep.

    I’m really struggling with sleep quality. No problems falling asleep, but I’m up sometime between midnight-2 and I’m awake at least an hour, usually two. After half an hour I get up and go to the guest room to read a book. I do eventually fall back asleep but the fragmented sleep is hard. My pre-sleep hygiene is meticulous. Labs are fine, but I do take 400mg elemental magnesium glycinate an hour before bed. No alcohol, sugar, or caffeine in the afternoon/evening. Thought HRT would help, but it doesn’t. Valerian makes me groggy the next day. I don’t have a high-stress life so I’m not “worrying”, I’m just…awake. Usually with a song stuck in a loop in my head. Help!

    Well damn. I guess it's a good thing I don't have a bed partner, seeing as I have been listening to tall radio all night, every night, for 30 years.

    I clicked on one of the hypnosis sleep UA-cam videos and a little while after that I’m being stalked when I’m sleeping and my dreams are being hacked by a sleep hypnosis researcher!
    Now it’s a regularly happening when I’m sleeping I’m aware that someone joins my dream with hypnosis and keeps asking questions and stuff, and I can’t wake up for work.
    I believe this sleep hypnosis researcher is committing a crime and illegally doing a sleep hypnosis research on me.
    How do I catch him/her?!

    Hi Dr Breus, I need your advice and guidance on my unusual work and sleep schedule! I work 2 day shifts from 630am to 630 pm, and then 2 night shifts from 630pm to 630am. Making it impossible to sleep at the same time everyday. What can I do to improve my sleep under these conditions?
