(Depression is strongly associated with chronic early morning awakening and inability to get back to sleep.) And though their role in awakenings and sleep arousals is still controversial, hot flashes may compound a woman's difficulty in staying or falling back asleep.Īnother problem is that as we grow older, the normal sleep cycle becomes shorter, and we spend less time in deep sleep. Health problems - pain, depression, or a sleep disorder such as sleep apnea - may be part of the picture as well. Midlife is often a time of psychological stress: children may be leaving home, a partner may be lost through death or divorce, and roles may be changing at home and work. Who does sleep-maintenance insomnia affect?įor many reasons, women transitioning through midlife may be more vulnerable to sleep disturbances. Like difficulty falling asleep at the beginning of the night, called sleep-onset insomnia, sleep-maintenance insomnia is more common in women than in men. It often takes the form of sleep-maintenance insomnia - that is, difficulty staying asleep, and in particular, waking too early and struggling to get back to sleep. Insomnia - inability to get the sleep you need to wake up refreshed - is the most common sleep complaint in the United States. Maybe you doze off for an hour or so, but when the alarm clock gets you up for the day, you're far from rested. You toss and turn and worry about not getting enough sleep. You tell yourself you've got to get back to sleep, but thoughts about yesterday's troubles, the coming day's challenges, and all those "must-do's" race through your mind. You wake up and look at the clock: it's 3 a.m. I think this line is really powerful and an excellent conclusion to the song because he is saying that you need to work hard and give your all, and eventually you will get a positive return.Sleep-maintenance insomnia common complaint among women at midlife He ends the song by stating, “First you put the work in til it works out / Work it out til it’s turnt out”.
In a world where one can be a “hater” by simply typing something negative on their phone, it’s important to rise above and thrive despite the hate. Luke Skywalker is the “chosen one” and carries a tremendous amount of strength and perseverance. In the chorus of the song, he states “I’m Luke Skywalkin’ on these haters”, maybe a little corny, but I think it carries a much deeper meaning. I think Miguel is trying to say that it’s GREAT to be proud of yourself and you should always recognize your own value and worth. We are constantly told to be confident and release our insecurities, but then insulted when we love ourselves “too much” or compliment any part of ourselves. This might be a little bit cheesy, but I think the message is to show the power of your own confidence. He then says, “I’m outstanding so I stand out”. It also means paying attention to yourself, and staying true to your own morals and beliefs throughout any craziness you may face in life. Paying attention to the people around, your surroundings, and living in the moment of your experiences. One of the next lines, “Don’t sleep you gotta stay up”, is talking about paying attention. You have the power to break out of bad habits and let go of negatives that are only bringing you down. I believe that Miguel is trying to say that whatever problems or hardships you may come across, it is better to face them head on and deal with them instead of compartmentalizing them, which only hurts you more later in life. The opening line of the song, “Quick to dead the bull like a matador”, is repeated many times and I think it is one of the most important lines in the song. To me, the overall purpose of the song is to show that although you may not be in control of what happens to you in life, you ARE in control of how you let things affect you and you have the ability to grow from pain instead of letting it set you back.
For one of my posts, I decided to analyze one of my favorite songs, “Sky Walker” by Miguel and featuring Travis Scott.
