    Sleep is an essential process I believe. In nature we see it. Everything in the world used to sleeping. BUT it differs for each organism. Humans, I dont know how much. The eight hour sleep thing must be industrial made. Humans may not need much sleep. Or some may need more as they gain halth or recover something. So it depends. If you feel to sleep only less then its fine. But try to get some sleep when you feel like you need it. Our body shows signs always. Listening to it and understanding it is necessary.

      We don’t need sleep for energy. We need food for energy. Sleep is a vestigial part of our physiology which evolved so we were huddled away and quiet at night to help us avoid predation and can be unlearned with enough training. And the body is not always right, because I sometimes do get the urge to sleep, even though I feel mostly okay, and then I wake up feeling hungover from general anesthesia until night time. My family has likened me to a dementia patient in those hours. I can’t even string a proper sentence out.

    Sleep should not feel like that. You might actually want to talk to a doctor about this. Could be a sign of a serious medical issue.

      Off the top of my head, without getting my magazine-thickness stack of lab result papers I had them print out, I’ve had TSH, hb1ac, potassium, sodium, urea, LH, FSH, prolactin, DHEA, testosterone, androgens, b12, folate, ferritin, full blood count, full white cell count, IgA, calcium, estrogen, ca-125, cholesterol, etc tested.

      My white cells have been low since the testing began, but I was told this is normal because as you age your immune system declines.

      All my labs are normal and I’ve seen multiple doctors. I’m healthy and have nothing wrong with me.

        Without an MRI, ruling out something neurological is impossible, and that’s where your symptoms point to when the usual blood tests don’t ping.

        Well, or psychological, but that’s less likely.
