I feel the same way! I generally need more sleep than other to function at the same level but if I don't get enough sleep and I need to focus on let's say reading a scientific article or anything that needs your full focus, I really CAN'T focus no matter how hard I try. Then my brain feels like it is filled with cotton and it literally feels like I did drink alcohol. Do you also experience that?

It totally helps and I start the day much better. I do get tired a little early but my jobs kinda physical so I don’t get the chance to like sit down and actually get all tired and lethargic like I would sitting at a desk . But it definitely works for me

[@djukafox]

Everyone functions differently. There's no real rule to this. When I try to experiment with this, I only end up with feeling frustrated the whole day with eye fatigue. When I get a good 9-10 hours sleep, I can do literally anything. It depends on the person.

[@Vagisaurus_Rekt]

What helped me a lot was to actually drain myself as much as possible during the day. My dumbed down version of this is if you spent your energy during the day, your body will force you to replenish it. Unless you have some diagnose that prevents you from getting a good nights sleep, there is no reason for your body to wake up at night if you depleted your energy reserves.

[@MrTheSteph1]

Every time I'm still fully awake at 5am, I just skip sleeping entirely, which helps reset my sleep schedule, but is also exhausting even if I'm doing nothing all day

[@junton]

This worked well for me. When I woke up at 4:30-5:45, I just got up. I was getting whole better sleep next night. And these days my normal waking up time is 5:45-6:30. I love it! One big thing is to get sunlight/bright lights in the first 30 minutes of waking up. I didn’t know how big factor that was for sleep cycle until I started doing it.

[@derzuschauer2126]

This man has answers to everything, that‘s so awesome!

[@DarkFoxV]

I've found a few things help (which don't conflict with Doctor K) One: being in tune with your REM cycles. These are generally about 3 hours. If you time your sleep correctly so it's in line with these, you'll be waking up naturally and significantly more refreshed. If you're breaking this cycle and trying to elect yourself in the middle of a cycle, then that's going to mess you up. Two: daylight. I decided to sleep in the car in the driveway for a few days, and this massively helped my circadian rhythm get back on track. Three: soft Vs harsh arousal. The high volume alarm clocks are something I hate. These make my mornings very, very bad. I used "daylight alarms" to start gradually lighting and brightening the room before I had to get up, with the light eventually very bright. Once the lights were bright enough, I almost never needed the actual audio alarms, except as a metronome for getting ready and out the door. Besides that, water, self-care, diet, no caffeine issues, and these basics also help.

[@LiaraBerlin]

Something that helped me was setting an alarm about 3 hours before I i need to wake up. It's an opportunity to hit the bathroom and also seems to reset my sleep pattern. If the alarm is set an hour or less before I need to get, up my anxiety about waking up keeps me awake but if it's more than that I'm able to go back to sleep and soundly at that. Makes actually waking up easier, but again this is just for me. It might not work for others.

Sleep cycles are about 45 minutes (with a little buffer).

I've found this to be quite effective for simply being able to get myself the hell out of bed in the morning.

I just do not do alot throughout the day to warrant 8 hours of sleep where in the weekend im physically very active. So yeah, everyone needs to try and find out.

[@prestoneccles]

hard from a neuroscientist podcast (Huberman): Sunlight (for the eyes) in the morning wakes you up and make your sleep schedule shift earlier. any type of light at night (right before bed) will shift your sleep schedule later. however, getting sunlight throughout the day makes your eyes less sensitive to light at night (helping you not shift your sleep later)

[@emperorsascharoni9577]

Important is that you also need to shift your nighttime habits like restricting screentime (or using blue light blocking glasses instead) to the new sleep time or you won't be able to fall asleep then.

[@MarStam95]

I’ve tried this many time. The problem for me is that the more tired my head is, the harder it is for me to fall asleep. I get racing thoughts and sometimes adrenaline. And when I’m tired I cannot focus and cannot function, the whole day is unproductive which also makes me unable to do what I need to got to sleep. And it becomes a vicious cycle of one bad night of sleep causes the next and so on. The only way I tend to be able to get out of it is one night of really good sleep. No alarm and just wake up when my body is rested. Unfortunately that isn’t always possible.

Golden rule (that I forgot where I first heard it but it works) If you get even hours of sleep you'll wake up feeling more rested than if you get odd hours. You'll wake up better with 4 hrs of sleep more than 5 or 6 hrs of sleep instead of 7. It's also why you can wake up groggy after 9 or 11 hrs of sleep even though it's a lot, you'll still feel off.

[@awkwardukulele6077]

Side note: it takes about 90 minutes per sleep cycle, so if you’re trying to wake up earlier, aim for the closest time in 90 minute intervals. Eg, sleep for 6 hours instead of 6 1/2, or 4 1/2 instead of 5. You’ll still wanna go to bed earlier the next night, but you’ll avoid that “I have just been resurrected from the dead and must now brush my teeth and head out the door,” type drama if you time your sleep properly.

Many times I find myself filled with energy at night compared to the rest of the day. Actually, I feel the most tired right after lunch. The problem is that I deal with all the important things during the day, which is the time when I typically feel tired or without enough energy as I would want. Sometimes it just depends on how interesting my schedule feels to me.

Sleep early to wake up early.

Agreed, i tend to wake up at 10am which sucks, so i want to fix my schedule to 5 am, and i couldnt, i kept sleeping in, BUT sleeping in went from 10am, to waking up at 7am.

I don't know why I have this trouble where if I want a nap in the afternoon, I can sleep ok. But when it comes to sleeping at night, I spend 2 or 3 hours rolling on the bed, trying to fall asleep.

That is what I’ve been doing for the past few months. Sleep at 9:30 and wake at 5

"laughs in Delayed Phase Sleep Syndrome/Disorder" Only if I could reverse that roller coaster when it starts. It might delay my rotation for a short bit, but eventually it snowballs and takes me for a ride for about a week till I'm waking up within reasonable hours. It always feels like I'm fighting a weight pulling me forward when it starts.

My brother would come home at 11pm go to work an hour later, never seen him sleep for a while now

The problem is that I work out in the evening and also I take big naps if I get too sleepy

The best way is to have a strong motive, I have noticed, That i wake up by 5 on the days I have to go to gym, But on weeknds, Even though i am awake by 5, I still oversleep, Because i dont have a purpose to wake up on that day early
