I live my life in reverse. I go to bed wide awake and get up tired.

[@Deadwetgothuncle]

Same here man, it’s tough.

[@mosalami1548]

Eat something sugary before bed fe an apple or orange or so, just be sure you don’t get hypoglycemic in the night. Maybe you need a small meal of oats before sleeping

[@lifeisgood070]

If it's hypoglycemia I would just do a tablespoon of honey or a tablespoon of MCT oil. It's frankly probably impossible to figure out what the actual issue is without like a bunch of brain monitoring and blood monitoring during sleeping. But if it's anxiety I would get a notepad or use Evernote and write down everything on your mind before you go to sleep and try to get comfortable with the idea there's only so much time in a day. It could also be you're not breathing very well during sleep and you can try those breathe nose strips. Maybe you have too much light in your room until your body does not fully sleep. Maybe you are not taking enough magnesium. I always take at least 30 mg of magnesium before sleeping. You have to make sure it's the right kind. Magnesium sulfate would not work at all . Just try different kinds until you find one that works for you. It could even be that you don't exercise enough during the day so you just have too much natural energy at night. It could be you were looking at computer screens right before bed and so your melatonin production is off. Sleep is really tricky I would legitimately just try to research everything you can on it and do every single step one at a time and eventually you're gonna find a step that basically completes the circle for you

[@DJ_Force]

@@lifeisgood070 It's a sleep phase issue. Bright sunshine is exhausting for me, the night sky is exhilarating.

[@toobrokentolove5415]

It sounds like your circadian rhythm is messed up. Your body uses it to keep track of when it should be awake and be asleep.

[@kathryncook7193]

For me it's the sleep inertia. Even waking up at the end of a sleep cycle, the sleep inertia is still heavy.

[@potapotapotapotapotapota]

I've tried to "wake up at the end of my cycle" but half the time it doesn't work.

[@Cloureku]

It’s a gamble because there’s so many factors at play with sleep (last meal before sleep, body temp, room temp, etc.) But if you have limited time to sleep, and you have the choice between 4.5 hours of sleep or 5 hours of sleep, always take the 4.5. Your odds of being able to wake up feeling better equipped to handle the day are much higher when following the 1.5 increments on a time crunch.

[@chenabman843]

Man I love this bloke 😳💪👍😎

[@Saïd-t5q]

AlhamduLilah , waking up to fadjr prayer help me as a Muslim ❤

[@antogehtdichnixan6001]

This is a cortisol rhythm problem. They probably also have carb cravings in the evenings/nights. Cortisol is supposed to be high in the morning, low at night.

[@Muslim_Student]

If you sleep 8 hrs and you can't feel fresh. Cut the sleep to 5 hrs and see how that affects you. If that doesn't make you fresh increase sleep time to 9hrs. Deep sleep is important. Keep all strong white lights off after sunset. Your melatonin levels will ruse gradually.

[@Ken_Adams80]

And if that doesn't help, go down to 3h of sleep and then up to 14h

[@saifiiui]

After the covid vaccine. Sleep has become a major issue. Don't know what the pcr tests and covid vaccines did to our bodies.

[@benjamincurci2605]

I wake up @ 7 n tell every1 im not alive til after 10 but im still not a good person til after like 1pm!:(

[@GenericQuestion]

Right because we can set that alarm just before we involuntary pass out.

[@stellicpiano]

You can guess when you fall asleep.

[@joelgriffin8222]

​@@stellicpianoNot for me. It can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours to fall asleep in my case

[@markmishyn]

Unfortunately 90 minutes is approximate number. For example if your approximate cycle is 95 minutes, than for 5 cycles you already need 7h55m. Also often you cannot predict how quickly you will fall asleep.

[@annabel337]

So this advice is bs cause you still dont know when to set the alarm

[@shaniegriffin5429]

Huberman is a gift to us all

[@betteryourlife865]

There are alarms that can wake you up when you’re in the lightest phases of sleep too. That 90 min thing isn’t always reliable because not everyone sleeps in perfect 90 min intervals.

[@mosalami1548]

This doesn’t adress the possibility that it could an energy problem because those people eventually become hypoglycemic at night

[@ST-rm3bz]

I feel the same. Have never been a morning one and would have loved to listen to him talk about morning fog and morning hormones dynamics.🙏🏼

[@kaiweston9697]

he has sooooo many excellent podcasts on all things like that

[@akashverma5756]

No one wake up energetic. Energy kicks in after 15 - 30 mins of wake up.

[@evaml11]

I'm tired after only 6 hours of sleep, but feel good after about 8hrs. 7hrs is good enough for me, but 8 is better. I'm not sure about that 90mins cycle tbh.

[@joelgriffin8222]

90 minutes is the average length of a sleep cycle. For some people it's 70 minutes, for others it's 110

[@pizza1530]

6 or 7,5 hours with 20 on top for falling asleep for me

[@ScarProxy]

Definitely true I try this and helped so much even though I had 30min less sleep

[@santiagocruz9426]

That's not realistic, timing your sleep cycle.

[@dpatterson9540]

have a sleep study done. I never had central sleep apnea and OA until after concussion from a car accident and weight gain 5 years later. I now wake up with energy after diagnosed and a CPAP machine.

[@purepotentialityNow]

Fascinating so it's not Astral Travel

[@MorgueInTheVoid]

Yes omg I get so many good ideas and so much motivation at night. Usually around 9 pm. And I tell myself I need to go to bed and I can do all these things in the morning but then when I wake up, all I want to do is sit in the same spot all day and then once the sun sets I get insanely depressed... but then after I've come to terms with the fact that there's no sunlight left in the day that's when I feel that motivation again and it's a viscous cycle.

[@bl1398]

Might be it’s tough to go from stopped to running. At 9pm before you go to bed write down a list of tasks you’ll do when you wake up. start the list with tiny easy tasks, mundane stuff like iron 2 T-shirts, clean a cup, order a book. It’s not even important that you actually need to do these it’s just to kickstart the action mindset. Make the tasks on the list bigger further down until you list the big tasks you want to work on. Upon completing any task you get a dopamine hit that should help move into the next one. The list also helps as it’s a easy to follow plan and the planning part has already been done.

[@LM-mg1km]

Not sure what your work/life situation is, and you might have to wake up early to be somewhere. But if you don’t, maybe work on the things you want to do, because not everyone is a day person. You may accomplish more for a few hours before going to sleep or until you feel tired. And then just wake up late if you can, you still used your time to be productive :)

[@ThushveenNarain]

Find the root of your problem. Try to think when it all started and what caused it(might take some time) I was bullied and got socially anxious I also stopped working out and following God and got depressed I will learn muay Thai one day but before I must know whether Jesus christ in the true god and if he is I must have faith in him and follow his ways if he is the truth. I want to find good friends also and do that self improvement thing but Jesus christ is first Create a purpose and work towards it everyday. The purpose must be realistic so that you think you can do it and you pursue it everyday because you want it more than anything.

[@sandralangstaff3719]

As a (mostly former) sleepwalker I can tell you some people sleep deeper. Like, WAY deeper. Much harder for some people to switch into active / awake mode than others. Not impossible, but harder. Don't beat yourself up over it, just listen to Dr Huberman and give yourself more time to get moving.

[@TAPnRACK_SEZ]

Try having adhd 😃 my brain wakes me up at 4am and tells me I’m bored af , let’s get this thing STARTED

[@toefes]

You know what works? Having an alarm clock waking you up with light (sunrise). The light starts 30 min pre set timer and you’ll wake up perfectly somewhere in those 30 min, probably cause you finished a 90 min cycle

[@petelanavim2405]

can you explain a bit more?

[@Olly07]

​@@petelanavim2405He just "Trust me bro" and "Noped" you 😂

[@riveteye93]

In my experience, this is not the case. Usually people go to sleep while still being anxious which feels like nervous energy, and have a shallow sleep waking up tired cause they were half awake all night, so they spend the day half asleep.

[@alivepool1625]

Everyone is overthinking lol. Motivation and drive are feelings that change all the time. Emotions are your mind's interpretation of how your body feels. Your body is tired when you first come out of sleep. Simple.

[@prajwalsharma5877]

What if you have interruptions during sleep. Its so hypothetical to consider that you will sleep with no interruptions.😊

[@jasonvoorheestheslumpgod]

Can also be the opposite. Not enough slow wave sleep. Get your slow wave sleep guys!

[@Wes_Trippy4life]

But in the military they tell you a full sleep cycle is 5 hours. What's this 90 minutes stuff? 😂

[@MrH347]

Long story short. Ice bath.

[@escapevelocity8092]

this is actually excellent advice, if you remember your dream even fleetingly, then you woke up mid cycle, if you complete your cycles you'll awaken from an alpha or theta state and be more optimistic, and not remember dream content.

[@somadak8535]

I found out that sleeping 7 hrs is perfect because less than that i get sleepy after half day and more than 8 hours makes me sluggish the whole day

[@Courage_n_Honour]

Huberman for president please That's a real man right there

[@alexchudilovski860]

Sometimes all is needed for good wake up and strength is to redirect attention, focus to the softness of the bed! And when the magic is finally in focus, seen don't over do it, or it might fire back as "failed attempt" that is followed by disappointment, in simple words, enjoy what you get but never stop trying!

I sleep like I'm in a coma. I mean, I literally slept thru a violent truck accident a year ago. I've been this way as long as I can remember. Some days I cannot get out of bed and sleep for 1 to 2 days only getting up long enough to use the restroom. Most of the time, I get a energy burst around 7pm and go down at 5 am. I don't go to bed persay, I just begin a round of sleep roulette. My life is always me tryin to just function.

[@shrthang5888]

Have you been tested for Narcolepsy. As doctor for an MSLT test. Narcolepsy is one of the most under diagnosed disorders, typically 10+ yrs before you're diagnosed, if at all. Took me 10 yrs.

[@memyselfandi634]

@@shrthang5888 no, I haven't. I have not had the financial opportunity to bring this to Dr. I have just been doing my best to survive in spite of it. I thank you for your input. Narcolepsy has never really entered my thoughts as a potential culprit. I do not have much knowledge about it, but thought it was a disease marked by spontaneous bouts of sleep that come out of nowhere. Although I have to admit, my introduction to the understanding of narcolepsy was probably back when I was in high school back in the eighties. Thank you for reading my comment and taking the time to reply. I do appreciate your input

Pretty sure if you don’t eat carbs, and you fast for 4 hours before sleep, you will wake up hungry and will just get out of bed naturally as your body is like ‘I want food’

U maybe missing some VITAMINS in your body check it out

[@joelgriffin8222]

90 minutes is an average. Most people's sleep cycles are between 70 and 110 minutes, sometimes more or less. Also, each new sleep cycle is shorter than the last

[@nachorey2856]

So, how do I know ? Should I count the hours left to sleep in cycles of 90’ and then set up the alarm?

[@annabel337]

Read the comments. I was like how do you know to set the alarm at what time. You dont fall asleep richt away sometimes, you wake up at night sometimes etc. Its bs advice. Only sleep apps maybe can wake you at the right time. But as you read here its just your body is still waking up and its more like how much hours sleep works the best for you? I noticed not to go back to sleep once Im awake in the morning (no matter if it was 6 or 9 hours).

[@nachorey2856]

Fyi some smart watches do a smart wake. I'm guessing it's accurate.

This is not practically possible because sometimes your going to sleep within 5 min or within 10 min or within 15 min you if u set a alarm accordingly to 90 min cycle you possibly wakeup after 100 min ,115,130 min of cycle or middle of cycle so you always tired but this is bad no one wants to feel exhausted

I'm like a diesel.

Try sleeping a little earlier than usual and get up 2 or 3 hours before you leave for work or open shop. May take a week or two to transition but you'll thank me later.

[@betteryourlife865]

When I’ve tried that I’m tired halfway through my day lol. Better for me to sleep as long as possible and then I can make it through my day. Otherwise I’ve used up a ton of energy before I’ve even started!

[@Zak-gl4ig]

How would you know what the 90 min point of a sleep cycle is? You'd have to know exactly at what point you fall asleep.

[@beepboop212]

On average it takes 15 mins to fall asleep. Also it doesn't come down to the minute; those cycles are usually a bit shorter than 90 minutes anyways. As long as you don't get back into deep sleep and wake up while you're in that sleep, I think.
