disabling tiredness if awoken once during night

[neil12345]

If i don't sleep at least 8 continuous hours i can't function at all. i dont just mean i am tired, i mean i can hardly think , speak etc. does anyone have any idea why this is. its really effecting my work, life etc.

thanks for your comments. i envy you being able to sleep so little and still function ok. what can a doctor do about it ? its like my brain isn't working at all ! I really need to try and resolve this problem, cheers.

It seems astonishing that you break up if you don't sleep 8 continuous hrs. during night. How long has this been going on? If I don't wake several times every night & remain awake from c.0430 hrs I'm surprised, but function OK ~ envy you being able to sleep so long. Maybe a good idea to check with your Doc. as to what's up. He should know. Best wishes.
