It sounds like sleep is useful to you! With the complexity of stuttering, sleep can probably help in many aspects - improved confidence, decreased anxiety, more cognitive reserves, etc, and likely var...

If you find that works for you, keep at it :) I don't think I've noticed a 1:1 relation between bad sleep and stutter prevalence myself though....

SLP here. I get asked this a lot. I don't know of any particular studies that correlate sleep and stuttering levels, but here's what I always say: Sleep is required for pretty much all basic and comp...

I don't keep up with the research and studies, but most stutterers who I've heard asked this question say this. Getting a good night's sleep, feeling tired. all that often has an affect on fluency or ...

For me, lack of sleep worsens my stutter. I always dread how the day is going to go when knowing I didn't get a good night's sleep. It's like it reduces my fluency by about 20-40%. ...

Stuttering and Lack of Sleep?

Stuttering and Lack of Sleep? Is there a definite link between not sleeping enough and increased stuttering? Have you guys experienced this regularly? I'm thinking that there is, but in the past my ...

"Come on............Eileen!" Trouble with words that start with vowels. One of my superiors at my job is named Eileen. Every once in a while I have to give her a phone call and its always so hard to s...

Hi, sorry it took so long to reply I haven't been around for a little while. My 12 sessions went alright. Unfortunately my Speech Language Pathologist didn't really hear me stutter much! That's just h...

My stutter is so severe that I stutter on every single word and it's not uncommon for me not being able to finish a sentence. That's last thing is the hardest for me to accept. When I was younger I ha...

Hola Colombiano! I was in the same situation back when I was 12, now I'm 28. When I moved to the states I noticed I didn't stutter much in English as I did in Spanish. But now that I have become ac...

I don't know how much you stutter, i stuttered less in front of people i cared about and i was comfortable being with (it still stuttered pretty much, but i could express myself). I guess another big ...

I used to be most fluent while drinking, and now it's probably when I'm at my least fluent. It's hard to remember the techniques/tools I've now learned while drunk. It's still fun because I can hear...

one of my favorite quotes about this comes from the stuttertalk podcast. It goes something like this: "Stuttering is hard work, not stuttering is even harder." I get it. Talking is exhausting. Physic...

dude. even pro performers have stage fright. You never overcome the fear entirely. You just make your preparation gold. The great Mitch Hedberg wore sunglasses and avoided looking at the crowd while p...

I stutter worst around my parents for some reason. I made a completely new group of friends and I never stuttered around them. Until I got drunk, then it was bad. I also stutter when hungover, like my...

What you wrote is quite inspiring, I am glad you were able to get to a place where you feel comfortable in your own skin and able to say what you want to say when you want to say it. I am 21 years ol...

Sounds similar to me, aside from the parent/cold triggers. I've had a really stressful summer and I've seen my stutter get significantly worse (still managable, but hard, especially at social events)....

My stutter has almost completely dried up, yet I stutter constantly around my parents. I also talk faster. I think my brain is making me try to impress them....

It's been a gradual process. My stutter has been pretty minor since I was 9, each new job has been less stressful than the one before, and I'm older. I was always able to fluently talk to people you...

my speech blocks get a lot worse when tired, even worse than if I am stressed, ...
