Q: I wake up early in morning for studies as I can concentrate more in those wee hours but I feel sleepy while studying most of the time. I sleep for only 4 hours a day. What should I do?

A: If you sleep less for a day or two your body copes up by taking more sleep over next two days. If continued for long then the body gets into what is known as 7 sleep deprivation syndrome because it accumulates so many hours of Sleep Debt. Then you get symptoms of feeling tired and sleepy, headaches, body aches, poor digestion, inability to concentrate, irritability, short temperedness etc.
