According to her, she has been living on 3-4 hours of sleep a day for a long time and cannot change this.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>She stated this in an interview with RBC-Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More interesting<\/strong>: The secret to falling asleep quickly: this accessory &#8220;tells&#8221; the brain it&#8217;s time to sleep<br \/>\nWhy Prikhodko sleeps 3-4 hours<\/p>\n<p>The artist explained that the effects of insomnia are even visible externally.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So why am I wearing glasses? Because I have constant dark circles under my eyes. I no longer understand what to do about this sleep,&#8221; she admitted.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Prikhodko fundamentally refuses to take sleeping pills.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t fight with pills. I believe that this is absolutely the wrong step. At first, there will be an addiction, the war will end &#8211; and how do you get off that?&#8221; the singer explained.<\/p>\n<p>According to her, the main reason for her insomnia is anxiety for her children, which intensified after the first massive attacks.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It started when there was the first ballistic missile. That&#8217;s when the fear of sleeping at night appeared,&#8221; she recalled.<\/p>\n<p>The artist describes her sleep pattern as fragmented and unstable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can stay awake until two in the morning, wake up at 4 AM, walk around until 5-6, and only then fall asleep,&#8221; Prikhodko shared.<\/p>\n<p>She also admits that if the issue of her children&#8217;s safety were resolved, her anxiety level would significantly decrease.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we could solve the issue of children&#8217;s safety, my husband and I wouldn&#8217;t be so worried,&#8221; the singer added.<\/p>\n<p>Despite her sleep problems, she has not sought help from specialists and does not consider medication.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Put me on pills so I can sleep through something in this life? I can&#8217;t afford that,&#8221; she emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, the artist chooses softer methods:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I drink sedative tea, calming herbs. Many Ukrainians take antidepressants, but I am against that,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, Prikhodko notes that this is not the first time she has lived with a lack of sleep &#8211; she has had similar experiences during trips to the ATO\/JFO zone since 2014 and during intense tours.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;3-4 hours of sleep is not that scary. I&#8217;ve been through this before,&#8221; the singer noted.<\/p>\n<p>To compensate for fatigue, she allows herself to rest during the day and tries not to overload herself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can lie down all day, do nothing &#8211; this way I compensate for sleep,&#8221; she explained.<\/p>\n<p>In the artist&#8217;s opinion, it is important to focus on one&#8217;s own comfort even in difficult conditions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You need to build a world around yourself as much as possible, rather than just drifting along with the war. Creating your comfort zone, at least in your apartment, is possible,&#8221; Prikhodko concluded.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><strong>Even more interesting:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Prikhodko revealed what Meladze is hiding<\/p>\n<p>Anastasia Prikhodko decided to return to Russian-language songs.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The reason turned out to be deeper than it seems &#8211; and it is familiar to many Ukrainians.
