Oversleeping
The Causes, Effects, and How to Stop

Experts recommend you should get around 7 to 9 hours sleep per night. But what if you get more than that? Does anything happen to you? Can getting too much sleep ever become a real issue?
Oversleeping has been a problem of mine for many years. Despite trying out many products and resources aimed at curing insomnia, I found hardly any even mentioned oversleeping.
After a bit of research I discovered I was definitely not alone. For a problem so many people suffer with, it’s surprising so little information is available out there. But after lots of trial and error, bit by bit, I finally overcame my oversleeping.
So here it is, the SleepForAll.com article on oversleeping. We’ll start by looking at the causes and effects of oversleeping. I’ll then share with you the methods I used to end my oversleeping problem which you can take away and use to stop oversleeping also.

Causes of Oversleeping

Oversleeping has three main causes. A lack of sleep, the timing of sleep, and your own mindset.

Not getting enough sleep

If you don’t get enough sleep during the night, varying from person to person, you’ll find it hard if not virtually impossible to get up in the morning.
Lack of sleep can be caused by poor quality sleep, not getting enough hours sleep or having an abnormal need for sleep. You can read more about this in the lack of sleep article.
If you haven’t had enough sleep, you wouldn’t have paid off all your “sleep debt” and so must put in more hours of sleep to pay it off.
Sleeping in because of a lack of sleep isn’t really oversleeping. It just appears that way. Teenagers need more sleep when going through puberty. So while it might seem like they’re oversleeping, they’re only getting the sleep they need.
But if you regularly sleep more 9 hours as an adult or 10 as a teenager, it’s fair to say you’re oversleeping.

Having a poor sleep schedule

A strong sleep schedule is key to falling asleep and waking up in the morning. It brings your body out of its deep sleep to feel bright, alert and ready to start the day.
OversleepingWhen your internal body clock is on track, you’ll find yourself naturally waking up in morning without the need for an alarm clock. When it goes off track, unless you’ve got a very loud alarm clock and a heck of a lot of willpower, you’ve got no chance!
This often associated with delayed sleep phase syndrome, where your sleep schedule gets pushed back later and later so you end up going to bed later and as a result also wake up later.

A poor mindset

Essentially anything that makes you want to stay in bed rather than get up. Winter often has this effect. You need to give yourself a really good reason to get out of your warm bed and into the cold!
A poor mindset can be caused by:
  • Depression
  • Lack of motivation
  • Fear
  • Anxiety
  • Boredom
If you suffer from SAD or Seasonal affective disorder, you may find waking up early in the morning when it’s still dark outside especially difficult.

Effects of Oversleeping

Surprisingly, getting too much sleep comes with a whole host of negative side effects, both physically and psychologically.
Warning: This section gets pretty nasty. If you just want to find out how to stop oversleeping and don’t need the gory bits to motivate you, skip straight to the next section.

Physical effects

Here’s a list of the many physical effects that can be linked to oversleeping:
  • Putting on weight – Your body can’t make good use of the energy gained from food when you’re sleeping so it’s forced store it as fat. The longer you sleep, the less energy you’ll need. This can be made worse if you have a big meal late in the evening. If you don’t give your body chance to burn it off, it’s forced to store it as fat.
  • Headaches – Really common! It’s believed to caused by the effect that too much REM sleep has on the neurotransmitters in the brain. REM occurs more during the later stages of sleep, just before you wake up. So the more you sleep in, the more REM sleep you’ll receive. Dehydration can also be a factor.
  • Back pain – Unless you’ve got one of those funky memory foam mattresses, laying in bed for too long will eventually lead to back pain. Plus, people prone to back pain are encouraged to keep active and obviously you’re not keeping active if you’re in bed!
  • Heart disease – Research shows a link between people who sleep 9 to 11 hours per night and a 38% increased chance of coronary heart disease. The reason for this link is not fully understood, but it could be linked the increased risk of obesity from oversleeping.
  • Death – Undeniably the most serious effect! People who sleep 9 or more hours per night have a higher death rate than those who sleep 7 to 8 hours per night. The reason for this is thought to be down to the psychological effects associated with oversleeping although it’s still a bit of a mystery.

Psychological effects

Along with the physical, there’s quite a lot of negative psychological effects related to oversleeping.
When you oversleep, there’s no denying you’re just wasting time on something that is actually unhealthy for you. So when you wake up and see exactly how much time you’ve wasted, it’s hard not to feel pretty rubbish.
The feeling isn’t helped by the fact you know you’ll have difficulty getting to sleep that night. Especially annoying if you’re doing your best to keep up a steady sleep pattern.
Oversleeping and missing appointments and social activities can be a real problem. I actually overslept and missed my first lecture at university. Not a good start! Thankfully it was only maths. wink
When you’ve overslept, it’s hard to get stuck into work and make a success of the rest of the day. Besides feeling rubbish, your mind feels foggy and clogged. I remember thinking that I would probably feel better with just 4 hours sleep rather than oversleeping by just a few hours.
Getting enough sleep is like hitting the bullseye on a dartboard. Miss by not getting enough sleep, and you’ll feel sleep deprived for the rest of the day. But miss by getting too much sleep, and you seem to have almost the same effect, if not worse.
So unsurprisingly, depression is commonly linked with oversleeping. A study has shown 15% of people with depression sleep too much. Although it’s hard to say if this is a result of oversleeping or if oversleeping is just one of the symptoms. Either way, it sure doesn’t help.
Interestingly, sleep deprivation is actually used to treat depression. So if you’re feeling down, getting an early start on the day may help you feel better.

How to Stop Oversleeping

Most of the cures for oversleeping are actually pretty simple, but they do the trick.
The main problem people have with oversleeping, just like with insomnia, is just not knowing what to do to cure it. Once you’ve found the right treatment for you, it’s just a matter of sticking with it.
You can use them all of the suggestions below or just one or two. Pick the ones that feel right to you.

Change the way you feel about sleep

Understand what sleep actually is and what it’s there for. You need it to survive and function. The less sleep you need to survive and function, the better.
The problem is that too many people fall in love with sleep. They love the feeling of being nice and comfy in bed. And that’s great, but getting too much sleep has plenty of nasty effects.
Getting the right amount of sleep is a bit of a balancing act. It needs to be within the 7 to 9 hours range, although it changes from person to person. Anything more or less than what you need and you’re not getting the right amount of sleep.
You can’t just “sleep the sleep off”. Any more or less than what you need and you’ll feel rubbish and have the nasty side effects that come with it.
Create the intention when you go to bed to receive just the right amount of sleep you need. When you wake up at the right time, know that your need for sleep has been fulfilled and that it’s time to wake up and start the day.

Plan your day

By planning your days, you’ll a give yourself a good reason to get up. If you don’t plan anything, it’s all too easy to think “what’s the point of getting up” and just go back to sleep.
Oversleeping and ProductivityCreating a task list at the end of each day for what you’d like to achieve tomorrow really helps you get up in the morning. As soon as you wake up, take a look at your task list and you’ll immediately have loads of reasons why getting up straight away would be a really good idea.
I’m a bit of a productivity freak so I’ve tried pretty much every to do list software and system out there but my current favorite is Toodledo. I tend to use my online task list as a central repository for my tasks and my paper notepad for what I need to get done today, but there’s tons of time management techniques out there. David Allen’s book Getting Things Done is home to one of the most popular time management systems. So if you’re new to time management, David Allen’s book is a great place to start.
If you have nothing to do, make it your goal to find something to do. Start a new project, find new clubs and activities that interest you, discover what you want to do in life and find out what you can to do to achieve it. Head down to your local library and find books on discovering your purpose in life. Rome wasn’t built in a day, so allow yourself to take things one step at a time.

Optimise your wake up routine

You should only wake up when you’ve had enough hours sleep. So set your alarm clock to go off once you’ve had 7 to 9 hours sleep. Not before and not after. If you need to wake up before this time, consider making a habit of going to bed earlier.
As soon as you wake up, open your curtains to let in as much natural light as possible. This lets your body natural rhythm know that it’s morning and stops melatonin, a hormone that makes you feel sleepy. I talk about this much more in the article how to wake up in the morning feeling more alert.
A great way of optimising your wake up routine is to actually practise it, just like you would rehearse for a stage play. You can do this by setting your alarm clock to go off in a few minutes time, going to bed and getting up as soon as it goes off. Do this 10 times and I guarantee you’ll find it much easier to wake up and get out of bed as soon as your alarm goes off. It works by getting your brain to associate the sound of the alarm with waking up, to the point where waking up becomes a completely automatic response to the sound of your alarm. It’s spooky how well this works. The next article in this series How to Get Up As Soon As Your Alarm Goes Off explains this technique in more detail.
Practising this technique physically is one way, but you can also do it just as effectively, if not more so, in your mind. Donna Lee’s Wake Up Fresh & Alert hypnosis download guides you through this very same method, contained within a deeply relaxing 30 minute audio session. The benefit of hypnosis is that when you’re relaxed, you’re subconscious is easier to access, and this is where you want to store the habit of waking up when your alarm goes off. It’s not free, but it can offer you a fast track way to stop oversleeping.

Have a strong sleep schedule

Oversleeping and Sleep TimingHaving a regular predictable sleep schedule makes it much easier for your body to wake up and go to sleep each night.
Your natural sleep cycle works with your body’s natural processes to help you wake up in the morning. But if you wake up at different times each morning, your internal body clock has no way of calibrating itself to know when it’s the right time to wake up. If you don’t even know what time you’re going to wake up in the morning, your body clock has no chance!
If you’ve got a problem with oversleeping, it can be hard to imagine waking up full of energy in the morning. But once you’ve got a good sleep schedule, that’s just what naturally happens.
Some people find it easier than others to stick to a regular sleep schedule. Just like some people are more prone to insomnia than others. But the concepts of sticking to a good sleep schedule are the same for everyone so it’s a skill you can master with a bit of practice.

Oversleeping can be a real problem and the effects may be worse than you might have thought. Once you’ve cured it though, as long as you stick to the changes, oversleeping will be a thing of the past. If all else fails, you can always build yourself your own mega alarm clock like this guy. wink

Bahaya tidur pagi

Here we go!

4 days i slept after morning again,..
hh,..

Ya, biasa meresa ga enak lagi. Barusan browsing dan terbongkarlah banyak hal yagn negarif terkait tidur pagi..
ondeh mandeh,..

dan di sini saya sebutkan beberapa hal yang mengerikan terkait tidur pagi

Assalamualaikum
 
Di zaman yang serba teknologi ini, manusia tidak dapat lepas dari yang namanya GADGET, baik itu Laptop, Tablet, Smartphone atau yang lainnya. terutama orang - orang yang dalam pekerjaannya tidak dapat lepas dari itu semua. Kadangkala mereka bisa seharian dengan GADGET mereka, Pagi, siang, malam, tak lepas dari Gadget, hingga akhirnya waktu tidur juga berkurang. kadnga ada yang baru tidur saat adzan subuh menggema atau setrelah sholat subuh. sebenarnya tidur setelah Adzan Subuh atau di pagi hari itu membawa dampak negatif terhadap Tubuh, dan di BENCI oleh Rasulullah SAW.

Berikut adalah beberapa Dampak Negatifnya : 

1. Masalah metabolisme
Jika Saudara tidur terlalu lama, tubuh tidak akan berfungsi sesuai ritmenya. Anda akan merasa lapar dalam jangka waktu lama dan hal ini mempengaruhi kecepatan metabolisme. Hal ini akan membuat bobot tubuh meningkat.


2. Lesu
Tidur berlebihan akan membuat Saudara merasa lesu karena metabolisme Saudara masih bekerja dalam ‘set’ malam hari. Tubuh membutuhkan waktu lebih lama untuk memulai sistem dan tidak dapat berfungsi normal. Jika Saudara benar-benar ingin tidur sedikit lebih lama, usahakan jangan lebih dari tiga puluh menit.

3. Kehilangan waktu produktif
Para ahli menganggap pagi hari adalah waktu paling produktif karena pikiran Saudara masih segar. Jika Anda tidur terlalu lama maka akan akhirnya kehilangan banyak waktu produktif dalam sehari. Sehingga, Anda harus menyelesaikan pekerjaan sampai larut malam dengan terburu-buru.

4. Disorientasi
Tidur terlalu lama membuat Saudara sulit berkonsentrasi dalam waktu lama. Kecuali, setelah bangun tidur Anda langsung berolahraga. Lalu, karena metabolisme tidak bisa berhenti otak akan membuat Saudara merasa lapar.

5. Sakit kepala
Cairan serebrospinal bergerak ke otak ketika Saudara tidur terlalu lama. Kondisi ini, jika berlangsung dalam waktu lama dapat menyebabkan sakit kepala parah dan bahkan menyebabkan kebutaan. Jadi, pikirkan lagi jika Saudara ingin tidur lebih lama. 

Menurut para salaf, tidur yang terlarang adalah tidur ketika selesai shalat shubuh hingga matahari terbit. Karena pada waktu tersebut adalah waktu untuk menuai ghonimah (pahala yang berlimpah). Mengisi waktu tersebut adalah keutamaan yang sangat besar, menurut orang-orang sholih. Sehingga apabila mereka melakukan perjalanan semalam suntuk, mereka tidak mau tidur di waktu tersebut hingga terbit matahari. Mereka melakukan demikian karena waktu pagi adalah waktu terbukanya pintu rizki dan datangnya barokah (banyak kebaikan).” (Madarijus Salikin, 1/459, Maktabah Syamilah)

BAHAYA TIDUR PAGI *

[Pertama] Tidak sesuai dengan petunjuk Al Qur'an dan As Sunnah.

[Kedua] Bukan termasuk akhlak dan kebiasaan para salafush sholih (generasi terbaik umat ini), bahkan merupakan perbuatan yang dibenci.

[Ketiga] Tidak mendapatkan barokah di dalam waktu dan amalannya.

[Keempat] Menyebabkan malas dan tidak bersemangat di sisa harinya.
Maksud dari hal ini dapat dilihat dari perkataan Ibnul Qayyim. Beliau rahimahullah berkata, "Pagi hari bagi seseorang itu seperti waktu muda dan akhir harinya seperti waktu tuanya." (Miftah Daris Sa'adah, 2/216). Amalan seseorang di waktu muda berpengaruh terhadap amalannya di waktu tua. Jadi jika seseorang di awal pagi sudah malas-malasan dengan sering tidur, maka di sore harinya dia juga akan malas-malasan pula.

[Kelima] Menghambat datangnya rizki.
Ibnul Qayyim berkata, "Empat hal yang menghambat datangnya rizki adalah [1] tidur di waktu pagi, [2] sedikit sholat, [3] malas-malasan dan [4] berkhianat." (Zaadul Ma’ad, 4/378)

[Keenam] Menyebabkan berbagai penyakit badan, di antaranya adalah melemahkan syahwat. (Zaadul Ma’ad, 4/222)

tetapi dari pernyataan diatas ternyata ada juga waktu - waktu yang baik untuk tidur, bahkan sangat dianjurkan.

Waktu tidur yang paling bermanfaat yaitu :
[1] tidur ketika sangat butuh,
[2] tidur di awal malam –ini lebih manfaat daripada tidur di akhir malam-,
[3] tidur di pertengahan siang –ini lebih bermanfaat daripada tidur di waktu pagi dan sore-. Apalagi di waktu pagi dan sore sangat sedikit sekali manfaatnya bahkan lebih banyak bahaya yang ditimbulkan, lebih-lebih lagi tidur di waktu ‘Ashar dan awal pagi kecuali jika memang tidak tidur semalaman.

 nah,, bagaimana kawan,?? apakah masih mau tidur di pagi hari lagi??
yuk, kita sama - sama mulai membenahi perilaku kita dari hal - hal yang biasa kita lakuan. semoga bermanfaat . . .




Bahaya Terlalu Banyak Tidur

Sulit tidur atau insomnia memang tidak baik untuk kesehatan. Tapi kalau kelebihan tidur, atau istilahnya oversleeping (disebut juga hipersomnia) ternyata juga tak baik untuk tubuh kita. Nah, apa saja penyebab seseorang terkena oversleeping atau hipersomnia?
1.  Sleep apnea, jenis gangguan tidur di mana orang berhenti bernapas untuk sesaat ketika tidur dan dapat menyebabkan meningkatnya kebutuhan tidur karena membuat siklus tidur normal terganggu. Penderita akan merasa lelah dan lemas meski telah tidur selama 10 jam. Gangguan pernapasan mulai terjadi karena dinding tenggorokan cenderung berhenti beraktivitas, sementara individu sedang dalam kondisi bersantai (tidur). Akibatnya, aliran udara di dalam tubuh berhenti dan seketika individu tersebut terbangun untuk bernapas.

2. Narcolepsy, masalah neurologis yang menyebabkan tidur berlebihan. Narcolepsy memengaruhi bagian otak yang mengontrol dan mengatur tidur. Penderita (narcolepsy) gagal untuk mengidentifikasi dan membedakan waktu tidur dengan waktu untuk tetap terjaga. Penderita dapat tertidur di mana saja dan kapan saja.

3. Stres dan depresi. Dua hal ini memang harus dihindari karena dapat menyebabkan banyak gangguan kesehatan jiwa, juga mental, tak terkecuali oversleeping.

4. Kelelahan. Kelelahan akibat bekerja terlalu keras, gangguan tidur, kehamilan, atau kekurangan tidur merupakan salah satu penyebab utama oversleeping. Ketika merasa lelah, kamu cenderung memutuskan tidur lebih lama, bahkan lebih
dari sembilan jam, untuk mencoba agar segar kembali.
Lantas, apa saja dampaknya bagi kesehatan?

1. Diabetes. Penelitian menunjukkan, orang yang tidur lebih dari sembilan jam tiap malam berisiko 50 persen lebih besar terkena diabetes dibandingkan dengan mereka yang tidur tujuh jam per malam. Penelitian juga menemukan, oversleeping dapat mengindikasikan gangguan medis yang meningkatkan kemungkinan pengaruh diabetes.

2. Obesitas. Penelitian menunjukkan, mereka yang tidur selama 9-10 jam tiap malam 21 persen lebih mungkin mengalami obesitas daripada mereka yang hanya tidur selama 7-8 jam.

3. Sakit jantung. Sebuah penelitian menunjukkan, wanita yang tidur selama 9-11 jam tiap malam 38 persen lebih mungkin terkena penyakit jantung koroner.

4. Sakit kepala. Para peneliti meyakini, sakit kepala bisa merupakan efek dari oversleeping. Mereka yang tidur terlalu lama pada siang hari sering mengalami gangguan ketika hendak tidur pada malam harinya sehingga menyebabkan timbulnya sakit kepala pada keesokan hari.

5. Nyeri punggung. Ketika kamu berbaring di tempat tidur selama berjam-jam, sering kali timbul nyeri pada punggung. Orang yang menderita sakit punggung atau rentan terhadap sakit punggung pun dianjurkan dokter untuk tetap aktif bergerak, tidak sering berbaring atau tiduran.

6. Ini akibat paling parah: Kematian !!! Beberapa penelitian menemukan, orang yang tidur sembilan jam atau lebih tiap malam memiliki tingkat kematian lebih tinggi daripada mereka yang tidur tujuh hingga delapan jam per malam. Para peneliti berspekulasi, depresi dan rendahnya status sosial ekonomi (juga dikaitkan dengan tidur lebih lama) dapat dihubungkan dengan meningkatnya mortalitas (kematian).

Jadi, bagaimana cara mengatasi oversleeping? Simak tipsnya:
1. Pilih nada atau suara alarm yang tepat. Memilih suara yang tepat penting artinya untuk mengembalikan kamu ke realitas, bahkan dari tidur yang paling dalam.
2. Jangan tergoda untuk tidur ringan atau snooze setelah terbangun. Hindarilah penggunaan tombol snooze pada alarm karena hanya akan mengacaukan jadwal alarm tidur kamu.
3. Pertahankan jadwal tidur secara teratur. Buatlah kebiasaan yang membuat tubuh kamu teratur untuk beristirahat dan kembali siap untuk beraktivitas pada hari berikutnya. Rencanakan program aktivitas hingga larut hanya pada saat kamu bebas dari tenggat pada keesokan harinya.
4. Berkonsultasi dengan dokter. Temuilah dokter jika kamu mengalami gejala oversleeping kronis. Hal itu penting untuk mengetahui gangguan atau penyakit yang menyebabkan kamu mengalami oversleeping.
TAPI SEMUA TIPS DI ATAS TIDAK AKAN BERHASIL JIKA KITA TETAP BERTAHAN DENGAN SATU-SATUNYA PENYEBAB. YAITU MALAS :)

di tempat lain saya menemukan bahwa ternyata tidur pagi juga bisa mengakibatkan kebutaan, tidak bisa fokus, susah konsentrasi. Aduh, parah!!
