The Simple Truth About Why You Struggle to Wake Up

[@raicantgame6634]

People saying "Just go to sleep earlier, it's not hard!" have never spent 5+ hours laying in bed doing nothing night after night after night. Almost 29 years of school and work schedules have not turned me into a morning person yet.

@@acetherenegade6249 absolutely not how it works. I tried to do this between the ages of 20 and 25, the idea was that if I was tired enough, I would fall asleep earlier and "reset" my cycle all that is did was keep me permanently sleep deprived and falling asleep FAR too soon (waking up at 4am feeling horrid) or if I withstood that I would get a "second win" and struggle to settle until my usual sleep time of 2am-3am, and because I was sleep deprived I would usually pass clean out for 12-14 hours and try the whole process again when I woke up. Much easier to accept my natural cycle where possible, because getting my 8 hours between 4am and 12pm will always feel more restful to me than 10pm-6am

By the end of the first week on vacation I'm going to sleep at sunrise. Even during my normal work hours it takes me a couple hours to get to sleep when I crawl into bed at midnight because I have to get up at 6AM. You can sort of get used to this (basic training, or years of waking up early) because that's what normal business hours are. But when I have long periods off (weeks sometimes, because of my career field) then I wake up in time for a late lunch and go to bed at sunrise and never feel tired when I sleep all day. 5:50 anyone in the military who's ever pulled CQ (which translated means, anyone in the military') is well aware of the effects of adenosine and that 'second wind' after being awake for more than 24 consecutive hours.

i am in the middle as i had to change my sleep schedule for work, now i go to bed around 6-7pm and wake up 4-5am, so i have a little of both i would say

[@Thalanna]

Agriculture mostly did this. It's become extremely important during antiquity and the middle ages to rise early: for farmers it meant taking care of the beasts (who can't wait until 3 pm to be cared for) and working on the fields while there is still daylight. For military folks, it also meant having more time to travel and/or fight when there is daylight for them to see where they're going. But this has become quite irrelevant, when farming became less prevalent and when public lighting and cars became a thing. Sadly, the work world kept those times. The reason... there is none really, in fact a few tests have started being conducted in schools, in France and Sweden iirc, where kids started their classes at 10 am - since it's been widely documented that adolescent brains don't like mornings at all. Their results soared. But... Nobody wants to broaden it, in fact of preliminary tests showing quite a lot of promise. This does lead to severe health issues, though. Not only am I a night owl, but I've also had delayed sleep-wake phase disorder diagnosed and tested - which is night owl on steroids, to make it simple. Forcing myself to go to sleep at 23:00 and wake up at 08:30 was a disaster: in spite of having over 9 hours of bed time, it was of an awful quality and led to a plethora of medical problems over the years. Thankfully my employer doesn't mind me arriving at work at 10:30 in the morning: merely going to bed late and waking up late essentially cured 6 years of problems... Question is: I'm lucky my employer is fine with it... So why isn't this possible more often for more people. =/

[@vendsoin]

@@Thalanna Adolescent brains do not like mornings at all is a lot of rubbish for larks which make up 40 % of people. I think two shifts like in our school could be more beneficial and shifts do well at work too. Also it is so interesting people whine about early working hours and they never notice all the good stuff in TV is at so late hours where larks already prefer to sleep.

[@Thalanna]

"A lot of rubbish for larks". Yeah, those scientists are so dumb :p www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1389945706007076 projectneuron.illinois.edu/sites/default/files/U3_L8_Supplement_CarskadonEtal1998.pdf It's not a question of lark or not. Whether you're an early riser or a night owl, at adolescence, you tend to go to sleep later and need to sleep until later. Your usual morning guy who gets up at 6:00 am will usually tend to get up more at like 7-8 am during adolescence, it's a well-documented phenomenon. It's part of why those experiments in schools have been run ^^' As for the good stuff on TV, this is such an undocumented and ignorant statement, I'm not even sure what to do with it. Good stuff for whom? What specific good stuff? In which countries? I mean, here at least, there is no such thing as "good stuff" on TV anyway :p But what one would classify as "good stuff" would usually start at 21:00 which is when early risers are still awake. So... that makes little (no) sense.

I've been a night owl since I was child. Getting up for school every morning never got easy. Ever. When I was working jobs, I always struggled to wake up in the morning. I usually had to drive about 25 miles. I had to be at work at 8 AM, meaning I had to leave home at 7 AM, meaning I had to wake up each morning around 6 AM. It was awful. I eventually severed ties with the 9-to-5 routine and went self-employed working from home. I earn over double what I did at my last job, and I get to set my own hours. I often stay up as late as 3 AM, and wake up around 10 or 11 AM. If it's a slow day, I sometimes even sleep in til past noon. Best decision I ever made.

I had 20 years of having to get up at 6am to go to work. The answer finally came when I set up a light connected to a plug-in timer that would turn the light on 30 minutes before I had to get up. It worked wonders, it re-trained my body to wake me up at the right time. Light is the answer to waking up, that's why waking up early during Summer is much easier than waking up early in Winter.

night owls were very useful though, thats why humans evolved to keep those traits, if everyone is sleeping the night owl can keep an eye open to see any danger or keep the fire open etc, just in the last century is mandatory that everyone is awake at the same time, basically to work on factories, and the time was just chosen so they could save on lighting not for optimal human happiness

The most annoying thing is that I am definitely a night person to the point where I am only tired in the morning when I wake up. Even if I get little sleep because I had to wake up early or something, when night comes around I get a boost of energy and my thought clarity is at its peak.... right before I should go to bed. I have been like this my whole life and called lazy in a world full of people who are not like this. It's terrible. Almost worse is that if I don't set an alarm, I will sleep, uninterrupted, for 10+ hours just fine, ruining a whole day off.

[@elijahnajera5425]

I'm in a reverse position where I'm the only morning bird in a family of night owls and it isn't easy all the time, especially on vacation where we share the same exact schedual. I could have a full eight hours of sleep and some more yet if i sleep too late I will feel absolutely wasted throughout the entire day to the point of doing nothing. Just last week my mom and I went on vacation for a week to visit family and go to Disneyland and we'd usually stay up until 11:30PM, and as expected this wreaked havoc on me. I've tried to explain this to the rest of my family, but they cant seem to catch on, saying the I should have alot more energy at my age. They're not bad people, they just have trouble seeing it my way. So I know the feeling, event if we're complete opposites.

[@adamrichardson2227]

@@elijahnajera5425 I can see that. The benefit for you though is that the business and professional world revolves more around what you are like as a morning person. So it would be like if the world was opposite then they would say "Oh, you're lazy because you leave early" instead of like what they would say to me that I am lazy because I don't get up early. I think it just needs to be more accepted that different people have different internal clocks and it doesn't mean we are lazy. Fortunately for you, it is just your family complaining about it, and not your boss. The latter has been the razor's edge with me, leaving the bare minimum of time in the morning to maximize the amount of time I can sleep in and trying to pretend like my brain works. They don't seem to notice as much if I work hard and stay late than if I were to get to work early. My parents for the most part are morning people too and my parents used to throw cold water on me to wake me up so I didn't "waste a whole day sleeping" when I was a teenager. We'll see what kind of long term damage waking up with 6 hours of sleep every night as a teen may have caused me.

I wish I could find a well paying job that fits that schedule. It's so hard when you factor in commute, mandatory 1 hour lunch and of course actual working hours. You come back home and have maybe 4 hours to eat, bathe, get ready for the next day. Barely have any time to do anything enjoyable. I wish a 4 day work week or a 5 hour work day were the norm. It's just crazy to me that we work so much of our lives away. There's so much cool shit on this Earth. So many things to do.

Are you struggling getting up in the mornings?

Because sometimes you got to study, some love to chat until late or u feel like you got to finish watching that movie or series and even occasionally we gots to party (not gona mention the porn addicts lol) .. Luckily NOW you got a guarantee that you won't ever be late again if you set my alarm (i made it & you wont find it anywhere else it's custom-made), It'll be a one time a lifetime investment only (not even expensive) that'll help you FOREVER! I'm selling an alarm clock that makes you get out of bed immediately guaranteed, as soon as the alarm clock goes off it literally gets you out of bed and force you to walk all the way to the kitchen or bathroom to switch it off because the speaker next to your bed don't have a switch or button to press to stop or snooze it from ringing you must get up and switch of in the kitchen or bathroom wherever you decide.. and when that happens automatically (Newton's law an object in motion stays in motion") that means by the time you get in the kitchen you'll be freshen up and wide awake almost the same as someone threw cold water on you and it'll be easy to keep moving (i usually set it for the latest minute i wana GET UP so i instead use my phone alarm just to WAKE ME UP).

Yes, I've been saying this for years! I am a Night Owl and forever have been judged for it. I used to work evening shift at a bakery and LOVED the hours sleep till noon, work at 1:30 off work at 10pm and stay up till 3 or 4 in the morning. It was amazing and I felt great and got so much done, never felt tired. Now I work for a place where I have to be up at 5 am every day. It's horrible I hate it because even if I'm tired I feel more awake at night then anytime during the day. I still want to stay up and utilize my energy I get in the evening, meaning I get very little sleep during the week, only catching up on my days off.

I had 20 years of having to get up at 6am to go to work. The answer finally came when I set up a light connected to a plug-in timer that would turn the light on 30 minutes before I had to get up. It worked wonders, it re-trained my body to wake me up at the right time. Light is the answer to waking up, that's why waking up early during Summer is much easier than waking up early in Winter.

Ever since I got my cat 3 years ago, she is the one who sets my schedule and I have been forced to adapt. 7am, each and every morning, she wakes me up. It's always 10 minutes one way or the other and she wakes me up by jumping on and off of me and the bed and she will do it until I physically get out of bed.🤨 I guess I can understand from her viewpoint though. Three times in the past year and a half I have gotten very sick and passed out. Every time, either my mother or my friends have found me and an ambulance ride ensued, followed by a lengthy stay in Pittsburgh hospital. These episodes occurred because of my brain having adverse reactions to my anti rejection medications. I am a full liver transplant patient, and getting sick happens often and I think she worries when I don't get out of bed in the morning. I love my kitty Scratch.😊❤

Makes me wonder: is perhaps the reason night owls are apparantly smarter on average because of of the same reason night owls exist in the first place (in ancient times guarding your tribe during the night)? After all, guard job is harder in the night: you can't see threats from miles away anymore so you have to employ more difficult methods for spotting threats. Also, if you hear noises during the day you can look at the source of the noise to confirm if it's really a threat, but during the night you can't confirm this and have to think carefully about it if it's worth waking up your tribe for or not. Could also be why early birds are apparantly happier on average: easier guard duty means you can be more carefree.

I also considered myself a bight owl, but I've never felt better after adopting the morning lark routine. I think the night owl thing is a myth. A night owl usually has something going on in their life that makes them not want to go to bed because they don't want the next day to come. Get your sleep in order and deal with whatever it is that bothers you, whether it is something/someone at work, or not getting homework done. Getting your sleep in order will give you the boost needed to deal with said problems. There is a TED lecture by a sleep expert talking about the importance of regular sleep (at night) and the dangers of not getting enough. According to him there's no such thing as a night owl.

Are you struggling getting up in the mornings? Now you can be in more control when and what time you get out of bed in the mornings or before important meetings or early shifts or on time for scool after late night studying or important early events (just a guarantee not ever to be late again), no matter if you a night owl or suffer depression or went to bed extremely late at 4am this alarm clock is the cream of the crop. Because sometimes you got to study, some love to chat until late or u feel like you got to finish watching that movie or series and even occasionally we gots to party (not gona mention the porn addicts lol) .. Luckily NOW you got a guarantee that you won't ever be late again if you set my alarm (i made it & you wont find it anywhere else it's custom-made), It'll be a one time a lifetime investment only (not even expensive) that'll help you FOREVER! I'm selling an alarm clock that makes you get out of bed immediately guaranteed, as soon as the alarm clock goes off it literally gets you out of bed and force you to walk all the way to the kitchen or bathroom to switch it off because the speaker next to your bed don't have a switch or button to press to stop or snooze it from ringing you must get up and switch of in the kitchen or bathroom wherever you decide.. and when that happens automatically (Newton's law an object in motion stays in motion") that means by the time you get in the kitchen you'll be freshen up and wide awake almost the same as someone threw cold water on you and it'll be easy to keep moving (i usually set it for the latest minute i wana GET UP so i instead use my phone alarm just to WAKE ME UP).

Without going too into details. I once had a toxic family member who tried to accuse one of my parents of inappropriate behavior with a minor that had spent the night. The fact the accuser forgot about was that I always stayed up until 6 to 8 in the morning, ESPECIALLY when people spent the night. (And always in the living space where the kids fell asleep) There's no way in Hell it could have happened without my noticing, and no way my parent would have tried, knowing there was a strong chance I was still awake. It was such a flimsy accusation to start with (we had bad blood between us after a previous incident) and the fact that my night owl status disproved it further made me so proud of myself. So, it's definitely true. Us night owls are the real heroes, and tribal life would have suited us perfectly.

Now with more flexible hours, I've realised how people with a full night's sleep wake up like, so much energy! And what do you know, ever since I started on the 3am-9am sleep schedule, my sinus issues have almost disappeared! I've still tried countless times to shoehorn myself to the "normal" timings and the results are always nausea, migraine attacks and more severe sinus issues than before, because my body is getting older and is unable to run on poor sleep anymore.

Yup, that explains a lot. I’ve always been a night owl, and I sometimes do enjoy spending my lunch break for a power nap. My boss, however, is quite old-school, he neither cares nor knows about any new scientific research to such fields. For him, starting work after 8am is laziness, and he regularly schedules meetings at before 9 - the only “rescue” for people like me is emergency service shift (I work as a dispatcher at a international telco company, dispatching techs to solve broken cables and machines). This service is maintained by us until 7pm, and due to very restrictive labour laws, one is not allowed to work more than 10h a day (excluding a mandatory 30min break after 6 and an additional 15min after 9h of net work), so I can justify starting at around 10 these days (my contracted daily work hours are 7:36 net, but I have a flexible schedule - but starting later than key hours, which is 7am to 3pm, is frowned upon). I like my job, but I never got around with early appointments…

I get a ton of stuff done at night when I can actually think and have energy so that they see that I am not lazy during the day.

Every since I was in middle school, I always struggled to fall asleep at night. I would lay there from 10 or 11pm and not fall asleep for hours, and in return being dead when I would wake up the next morning. This continued all the way through high school but now that I'm in college, I get to make my own schedule to a certain degree and have found that I fall asleep much better later in the night, getting sleepy at around 3am. So it's not like I decided to stay up late or anything, I literally just couldn't fall asleep early reliably.

[@BryTee]

Continue that into your work life. Me... being a night owl, I prefer to work noon to 8pm, why does my employer like this, because I'm in California but we have offices in India (we are near enough 12 timezones apart). So we've got people in my office who prefer to work 6am to 3pm (1 hour off at lunch), and they take over from the India team who are leaving as these "early birds" get in. I have cross over with these early people beween noon to 3pm, but I then as I work until 8pm, the India team are getting in for their morning. However, the early people left the company ... but we now have an office on the East coast of USA, so they're technically early birds from a California timezone perspective. FYI: rush hour is atrocious in California, so driving 7am to 10am and 4pm to 7pm is pretty much stationary traffic, so avoiding that is beneficial too!

you should try taking melatonin. i have had the exact same problem in the past. a few months ago someone told me about melatonin pills (which are OTC by the way) and it changed everything. i take 2.5mg about 2 hours before i intend to sleep and within an hour i am very drowsy. some nights after taking it, it's difficult for me to even get up out of my chair to go brush my teeth before getting in bed. before that, it was anyone's guess when i would fall asleep. they're also super cheap. i buy 5mg pills and cut them in half. 240 pills costs about $6.50, and since i cut them in half that's 480 doses. that's 15 months worth for the price of a fast food meal. doses differ from person to person though. when i started out i tried 5mg and it made me fall asleep for 2 hours and then wake up unable to fall back asleep that night. some people need as much as 10mg to fall asleep, it just depends on the person.

Sounds like you may have Delayed Sleep Phase Disorder. "If they are allowed to follow their own schedules, e.g. sleeping from 4:00 am to 1:00 pm, their sleep is improved and they may not experience excessive daytime sleepiness.[3] Attempting to force oneself onto daytime society's schedule with DSPD has been compared to constantly living with jet lag; DSPD has, in fact, been referred to as 'social jet lag.' " "chief difficulty of treating DSPD is in maintaining an earlier schedule after it has been established, as the patient's body has a strong tendency to reset the sleeping schedule to its intrinsic late times." Try some melatonin an hour before you want to go to sleep and look into light and dark therapy. If all else fails, insist on a sleep study and see if you can get a diagnosis and someone who will Rx modafinil.

[@elliwesishawkins4799]

The section starting at 5:40 about how making past the drowsiness to the next day gives you energy because of the circadian rhythm is how I survive any changes to my schedule that requires me to be up early. As a night owl, I’ve worked second shift to meet my sleep needs so if I have to be up early say for appointments, dropping roommates off at their work, training (or just being in early) at my job, grocery shopping (when Walmart stopped being open 24hrs) or anything else, I’d be incredibly drowsy for those morning hours. But once 2-3pm rolled around I’d be set to go and still stay up well past midnight like I never woke up 6-8 hours earlier than I should’ve. It’s crazy that we know all this info about different sleep schedules and how important it is for health or even early survival of mankind and yet we’ve created a world in which we want everyone to function during certain hours of the day. We are at fault for all the “don’t talk to me without my morning coffee” memes.These people shouldn’t be awake, but they are because a lot of office jobs are only first shift so if you wanna move up, you better move up your sleep schedule too. It’s a day eat night world lol As for the part at the end about night owls being wealthier or more intelligent I think it has less to do with living with a night owl schedule and more to do with night owls who have to adapt to morning schedules. If you spend your whole life working harder to meet “basic” expectations like waking up and using your brain early despite your brain literally not being turned on yet you’re going to end up smarter because your asleep brain has to match the awake brain of your peers. Over time this may compound, turning your ability to overcome your struggle into overcoming the competition. But that’s just my opinion, could be wrong of course

Scientists: Humans need atleast 8 hours of sleep every night. Colleges: Did you guys hear something?

I was in med school and no joke, i always ended up my study time at 2am and then wake up at 6am to go to collegue and then at night go to the ER

[@maisetas]

for me it doesnt really matter 5, 8 or 11 hours of sleep as long as i wake up between 8 and 10am.

[@kryoruleroftheninthcircleo4151]

8 hours is a myth. I’d say it’s suggested.

[@sillowillo]

Schools too

I can believe this. before I was a "night owl", when I was a kid, my family always made me go to bed at 9 pm while school was at 9 am. Yet, I never really fell asleep till probably 11pm at least, unless I had a tiring day. and I have never been a consistent morning person.

I sleep at 11pm and stay awake idle until 3 am

10:19 yes, yes and yes! I've been saying this my entire life. This video helped a lot. I've hated always being the one who can't fall asleep at night and being MIA in the day. People have treated me very badly just coz of it. I've been struggling for 3 years to turn back my sleep routine. Not anymore! Just gonna do my work as an owl!
