  Speaker 1: Hello, Psych2Goers, welcome back to our channel. Sleep, we all
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: need it, a lot of us neglect it. And a
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: lot of us have some interesting sleep habits. Some of
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us toss and turn in the night. Some of us
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: are pure night owls. Some of us can't stop mysteriously
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: waking up at 3 a.m. Ooh, something about that time
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: gives me nightmares. Well, it would, I mean, if I
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: was asleep. But did you know your sleep habits can
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: tell a lot about you? Here are what your sleep
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: habits say about you Number one, you're a morning person.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: Have you ever wondered how being a morning person affects
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: your intelligence? No? Okay. According to some studies, it can
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: tell you a lot about your intelligence type. If you're
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: starting to wonder now, morning people are more likely to
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: get good grades in school than night owls, according to
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: research studies on students in high school and college. Number two,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: you're a night owl. In the same study on high
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: school and college students, night owls scored higher in general
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: mental ability This ability is linked to higher success in
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: your career. So while you may not always get the
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: best grades as compared to those morning people, you're still
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: just as smart as them, perhaps just shown in different ways.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Number three, you stay up late and deprive yourself of sleep.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Staying up late again, binging another season of your favorite
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Netflix show? Up into the wee hours of the night
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: with another Psych2Go video and a bowl of popcorn? Are
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: you microwaving said popcorn as we speak? Many who often
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: go to sleep late at night are often seen as pessimistic. Why?
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: With the unpredictable and disrupted sleep patterns, negative thoughts are
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: bound to be, well, abound. Maybe you find yourself up
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: so late at night imagining possible scenarios to your weekly
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: conflicts or ruminating on the latest worries that plague your mind.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is that's keeping you up, worries or television,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: it's best to hit the hay and get your Zs
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: by going to bed as early as possible. Lights out.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Number four, you always wake up between 3 and 5 a.m.,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: no matter what time you went to bed. Do you
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: find yourself naturally waking up early in the morning? You
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: look at your clock. 3 a.m., oh boy. Or maybe
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: 5 a.m. is your lucky number. Well, this may have
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: to do with your sleep drive. Part of our circadian rhythm,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: our sleep drive, grows as we go about our day.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: At night, it naturally goes down. If you find yourself
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: waking up between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m. and don't
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: know why, it may be that your sleep drive has
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: been used up. If this becomes a common occurrence, it
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: could mean you've developed a circadian disorder known as advanced
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: sleep phase syndrome. Number five, when you don't set an alarm,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: you sleep for 14 hours at a time. Finding yourself
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: sleeping more than the regular eight hours at a time,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: maybe you find you naturally sleep through your morning or
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: half the day. Well, one reason could be hypothyroidism. This
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: most often affects women over 60. This deficiency of thyroid
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: hormones can disrupt one's heart rate, metabolism, and body temperature.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: The symptoms can include fatigue, weight gain, cold sensitivity, constipation,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: and dry skin. Another possible reason you're oversleeping? Your body
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: could be responding to a latent infection, but if oversleeping
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: becomes the norm, something else could be going on. Number six,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you're tired every morning Do you have this problem? No
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: matter how many Zs you seem to get, you just
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: can't help but wake up tired every morning. One reason
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: could be depression. Depression often coexists with sleep problems. So
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: if you're tired every morning, a mood disorder may be
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: the reason. Another reason, you may just have sleep apnea.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: This sleep disorder can be serious and it affects your
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: breathing during sleep. One's breathing repeatedly starts and stops when
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: asleep with this disorder. Your sleep cycle is likely to
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: be interrupted with all these interruptions in breathing. If you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: feel you may have sleep apnea, you're not alone. The
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: disorder affects 30 million Americans. A good idea is to
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: sleep on your back instead of your side. If the
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: problem still persists, it's best to talk to your doctor.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Number seven, you sleep longer than you're used to. Okay,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: so maybe you don't sleep for 14-hour stretches. but you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have noticed you keep sleeping a little longer and longer
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: every night. One study on adults 40 and older found
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: that individuals who slept more than the regular eight hours
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: at night were more likely to suffer from a stroke.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Researchers from the University of Cambridge found the risk grew
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: notably higher for those who used to sleep for shorter hours.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: They're unsure if this is a symptom of a problem
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: or if the long hours of sleep are the cause
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: of other health problems. Number eight, you often sleep on
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: your side. Although further research is needed, sleeping on your
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: side may help in circulating waste out of your brain
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: and reduce the chance of getting Alzheimer's. Researchers at New
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: York's Stony Brook University conducted experiments on rodents and found
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: that sleeping on one side makes it easier for the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: body to circulate waste out of our precious brains. Many
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: believe Alzheimer's is linked to brain waste buildup. And since
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: sleeping on your side may help your brain circulate waste,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: doing so may lower your chances of developing neurological diseases,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. Number nine, no matter how
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: hard you try, you just can't fall asleep. Do you
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: lie down in bed early in hopes of a good
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: night's rest, only to find that you just can't fall
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: asleep no matter what you do? Well, as suggested before,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this may be due to worry, stress, or work. Philips
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Respironics conducted a worldwide survey and found that over half
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: of their respondents reported that the main cause of their
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: sleep problem was work or worrying over their finances. Maybe
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you can't stop thinking about what's worrying you lately, or
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: maybe you're working through the night over hours. Whatever it
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: is keeping you up at night, it's time to put
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: it to bed so you can go to bed too.
• 5:59
