The further you get away from 7 hours of sleep, the more your #SleepDebt increases. The less sleep you get, it's basically like you having a #SleepDisorder – Christopher Allen #SleeplessInHollywood

#NightTerrors and #nightmares are completely different. Night terrors are a type of #sleepwalking. Night terrors is mostly seen in children. – Michael Grandner #SleeplessInHollywood

#SleepDeprivation occurs when a person does not get enough sleep, regardless of their intentions or circumstances. It's like not getting enough food. – Michael Grandner #SleeplessInHollywood

#Melatonin doesn't work for people struggling with #insomnia because our bodies already know it's nighttime. – Michael Grandner #SleeplessInHollywood

Most #SleepDisorders depicted on popular media are actually issues related to #SleepDeprivation, not #insomnia – Michael Grandner #SleeplessInHollywood

There are 3 systems in your brain that are separate and work together that regulate your #sleep system. – Michael Grandner #SleeplessInHollywood

When you self medicate (e.g. take #melatonin), you're effectively chopping up your #sleep cycle. – Christopher Allen #SleeplessInHollywood
