Question: I work a night shift (9 PM to 6 Am), and am almost waken by disturbances in my household or neighborhood after only sleeping for 2-5 hours, and I often cannot get back to sllep for an hour or so. I have several questions: #1 What are the symptoms of sleep depravation? I know the ones I believe I am having, but am unsure if lack of sleep is the source. #2 Since I sleep lightly, and awaken easily, how can I sleep deeper? I am hoping to avoid medications. #3 I have an overactive mind, as well as a sizable amont of stress and anxiety, which keep me awake. How can I calm my minds overactivity?
