Have you ever been getting everything done at work, but lately you're having trouble staying asleep?

You go to bed exhausted, but a few hours later, you're awake.

Your mind starts moving through tomorrow's responsibilities, and you find yourself working out a problem you had every intention of leaving until the morning.

Then morning comes, you get dressed, you show up, and you do what needs to be done.

But you may feel tired, but your work is still good.

So when you think about how you're handling the pressure, you're telling yourself that you're managing.

Changes in your sleep can be an early indication that the stress is affecting you even while your performance remains steady.

You may notice the strain at night before it becomes obvious in your work.

I'm Dr. Tracy Marks, a psychiatrist, and I teach practical neuroscience that helps high performers stay sharp under pressure.

Today, I'm talking about how work stress can affect your sleep

and how to recognize the pattern without turning sleep into another thing to worry about.

When you're accustomed to being capable and dependable, getting the work done can become your main way of deciding whether you're okay.

And during a demanding stretch, you may find ways to keep doing it.

You concentrate harder, you give yourself extra time, or you rely on skills you've practiced for years.

So you can still be doing good work, even when it takes more out of you than usual.

Changes in your sleep can give you another clue about how you're doing.

It's a little like a check engine light.

It doesn't exactly tell you what's going on, but it's a reason to take a closer look.

And the trouble isn't always waking up in the middle of the night.

Have you ever felt completely exhausted in the evening and then by the time you get in bed and lie back, you're fully awake?

It's very frustrating when your sleep doesn't follow the schedule that you set for it.

Stress can leave you too alert to sleep, even when you're exhausted, But there's something else that helps explain why this happens more easily in some people than others.

It's called sleep reactivity.

It means how easily stress disrupts your sleep.

Some people go through a demanding stretch and their sleep barely changes.

For other people, it becomes harder to fall asleep

or they wake up during the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.

How do you know if this is you?

Think about what usually happens to your sleep when something important is coming up.

Maybe you have a meeting tomorrow that you've prepared for.

You know what you're going to say, and you're not expecting it to go badly.

But when you get into bed, you're still going over it, and it takes much longer than usual to fall asleep.

Or you have a difficult conversation in the afternoon.

You work it out, you finish your day, and you watch a couple of episodes of Silo, and by the time you go to bed, you feel fine.

You're not even thinking about the conversation anymore.

But then you lie in bed for an hour, unable to fall asleep.

You may remember a similar pattern in your past, like having trouble sleeping before exams or waiting for an important decision.

Your sleep was more disrupted whenever you had a lot going on.

That kind of history can suggest that your sleep is more reactive to stress.

One bad night doesn't tell you that.

We're talking about a tendency that you've noticed across different situations.

And you can have this tendency even when you usually sleep well.

You might sleep fine for weeks and go through a demanding period and then suddenly have trouble.

The sensitivity may not be obvious until something challenges your sleep.

We're also talking specifically about how your sleep responds to stress.

It doesn't necessarily mean that you're someone who feels anxious all day or reacts strongly to everything.

You don't have to feel panicked or describe yourself as overwhelmed for stress to affect your sleep.

In fact, you may feel focused, responsible, and very busy.

And then when you look at those demands individually, they can seem reasonable, even as they take up more of your day and more of your attention.

This is where comparing yourself to a coworker can lead you in the wrong direction.

Say you're both working on the same deadline.

You're putting in similar hours and you're both doing good work.

They mention that they went home and slept through the night.

Meanwhile, you are awake at three, thinking about the problem with the project.

It's easy to hear that and think, why can't I handle this as well as they can?

But you don't know that they're handling the work better.

One possible difference is that their sleep is less sensitive to stress.

They may be just as concerned about the deadline without having the same sleep trouble.

There can be other differences too, but their ability to sleep doesn't tell you how much pressure you should be able to tolerate.

If your sleep has changed, that's worth paying attention to, even if the person working beside you seems fine.

Now, sleep reactivity and worrying can overlap.

They're not the same thing, but repeatedly going over a problem in your mind can make sleep more difficult,

particularly when your sleep is already sensitive to stress.

Imagine you wake up and remember something that you need to do tomorrow.

You start working through it.

Then you look at the clock and realize how long you've been awake.

Now you're thinking about the project and wondering how you're going to get through tomorrow with so little sleep.

And after a few nights like that, you may start worrying about your sleep even before you get in bed.

And anticipating another bad night can make it harder to settle down.

So now you've got your baseline work -related thing to worry about on top of worrying about sleep.

I'll come back to getting help with that in a minute.

But first, it's worth looking at whether something in your workday has changed.

Think back to when your sleeping troubles began.

Were you taking on more responsibility?

Had you started catching up on work at night because you couldn't get enough uninterrupted time during the day?

Maybe you checked tomorrow's schedule before bed, then open a document, notice that something needs fixing, and then start making changes.

And what was supposed to be a quick look becomes another half an hour of work.

If that's happening, one adjustment to try is moving your review earlier in your evening.

Before you finish work, make a brief note of what still needs attention and when you'll return to it.

That gives you a place to pick up tomorrow without doing another round of problem solving just before bed.

You're trying to give yourself some time to settle after work.

It isn't a guarantee that you'll sleep well that night, so you don't want to turn this into something that you're checking each night to see whether or not it worked.

And if working until bedtime is the only way you can get everything done, take a look at why.

Is there more work than can reasonably fit into your day?

Are interruptions making it harder to finish things?

It could be some of both.

Working in the evening can feel easier because you finally have some uninterrupted time.

You actually get things finished.

But if that becomes your regular way of keeping up, it's worth looking at what you need to change during the day,

especially if you've noticed that your sleep is worse when you work late.

I don't want you to assume that every sleep change is caused by work stress.

Medications, alcohol, pain, hormonal changes, and other conditions can affect sleep.

If the problem continues or affects how you function during the day, talk with a healthcare professional.

Loud snoring or waking up gasping also deserves an evaluation.

And if worrying about your sleep has become part of the problem, that's something that you can get help for too.

For chronic insomnia, Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Insomnia, or CBTI it's called, is a recommended first -line treatment.

It addresses the habits and the thoughts that keep insomnia going, including worrying about sleep itself.

You don't have to resolve every problem at work before getting help for your sleep.

So here's the takeaway message.

100

If you've been judging how you've been doing mainly by whether or not you're getting your work done, include what's happening at night.

101

You don't want to wait until your work starts slipping to take note of your sleep patterns.

102

Thanks for watching today.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
