Am i sleep deprived?

Question

I'm only getting about 4-5 hours of sleep each night because of work and studies. Even on weekends, I can't seem to catch up, and I feel constantly tired and irritable. Am I sleep deprived, or is this normal for my routine?

I’ve been feeling so dizzy and unable to focus lately, even after sleeping for what feels like 6 hours. Does anyone else get heavy eyes and a constant mild headache during the day? I’m starting to worry if my sleep quality is really bad.

Please don't take constant fatigue lightly. I ignored my poor sleep for months and ended up with severe blood pressure fluctuations and migraines. If you are constantly exhausted despite trying to sleep, please see a doctor to rule out sleep apnea or deficiencies.

If you are sleeping less than 7 hours and waking up tired, of course you are sleep deprived. Put your phone away at least an hour before bed and stop scrolling till midnight. Try to maintain a proper routine and see how much better you feel.

Our minds are often too cluttered with daily worries when we go to bed. Try to spend five minutes in quiet meditation or chanting before you sleep to calm your thoughts. Take care of your health, eat light dinners, and let your body find its natural rhythm.

With our busy schedules, sleep often takes a backseat. Try keeping a fixed time for sleeping and waking up, even on Sundays. Avoid drinking heavy tea or coffee in the evening, and keep your room dark. If the tiredness continues, consult a general physician.
