Re: how should i keep myself awake
**level 5 sleep is important for your body to recoup after a long day. at this level, the sleep is uninterrupted and your body gets replenished. sleep 3 level for instance is very interrupted when your REM increases and you wake up every ten minutes or so and you do NOT even know about it…the result is that you are still tired after even a long sleep and hence feel sleepy all day.
your doctor will send you to a sleep lab where you will sleep overnight all wired up. you may have to make several overnights visits. once diagnosed, you may be required to wear mask at night hooked up to a machine called **Continuous Positive airway pressure (C-PAP)
