So, sleep deprivation, and sometimes an insomnia, which is a little bit of a different form, but just getting a lack of sleep, can lead to a number of different decrements.

Workplace accidents with people who are sleep deprived or people who work shifts and they don't get the right amount of sleep during the day or at night.

So there's a few different ways that we treat insomnia. The first thing that we always do is we look at the cause.

We try not using medications initially, and we use something called behavioral therapy for insomnia. This changes behaviors people do in bed, none of the tossing and turning.

So when it comes to circadian rhythms, it's a clock that's basically programmed in our body. So if you think back to times when people lived on farms and we didn't have electricity.

We haven't really - it's harder for us to set those rhythms. So it's really important to keep a steady bedtime and wake time to really lock in those rhythms.

Now circadian rhythms become very interesting and problematic for patients because when you become a teenager, your rhythms actually tend to naturally shift.

So the deeper stages of sleep are really those times of quiescence, you're really restoring your body and we have a few different stages of sleep.

And you cycle throughout so that you do about five to six cycles throughout the night. And we spend more time in REM later on in the night than we do earlier on.

So people only focus on getting the really deep sleep, but in reality, we spend almost 60% of the night in the stage two sleep.

Really if it's an hour or two after you've fallen asleep because you're in such a deep sleep at that point.

There have been times I've felt so much art in my soul I grew sick of artists.

Self-doubt is a persuasive mistress careful not to shag her or you’ll never get your balls back.” - Simon Hunt

Successful people compete against themselves, not against other people.

I saw 28 Days. I don't remember rehab being like a day camp or being that funny. Rehab is a dumping ground. It's a big landfill.

My advice is keep your lips away from the spinning things.

The children should never be excluded from what I am doing and should never have the feeling of being part of an audience.

I'm mostly just getting used to the idea that people want to hear what I have to say.

You never get over it, but you get to where it doesn't bother you so much.

Time is the eternal now, seen through the narrow slit of the mind.

I know how I live my life. I have a little magnet brain that attracts the kind of things that obsess me.
