Sleeping problems
I have my best concentration at night . So I usually study till late midnight (2 am) and wake up at 5 am in the morning . So i sleep only for 3 hrs in night But I take sound sleep in the day for 4 hrs (12pm-4pm). So is that fulfilling my sleeping quota or I am sleep deprived. Is it harmful or okay
Plz guide me and suggest changes if any.
Thanks

See.. you are going against the human body circadian rythm. Try maintaining it a bit by sleeping between 1 am and 7pm..

Hello there. I can understand your concern.
Yes i definately feel you are sleep deprived.
One must have at leat 7-8 hours of sound sleep at a stretch.
If you can i would definitely recommend you to continue sleeping till atleast 8 A. M .
Take a nutritional supplement like cap. Absolut 3g once a day after food for 15 days.
Have a high protein diet and lots of greens and fruits.
Also make a habit of doing meditation and yoga daily.
Best regards.
