[@hollowkid97]

Anyone else wake up perfectly alert on the weekend and feel like shit on the weekdays?

[@shadfurman]

Yes, because I\m waking up 4 hours later, lol.

[@Hendlton]

shadfurman Sometimes not, sometimes I wake up at 7 am on Saturday and I feel great but week days, I wake up at 7 am and I literally can't keep my eyes open, no matter how hard I try...

[@Lunarri]

Always been a night owl. I can't seem to change it either. All through college I woke up at 6:30. Still no change. Was still naturally more alert/awake at night. Been a father now for almost two years. Having to get up at 6:30 again each morning to take care of my son hasn't changed anything. No matter what I do, my body wants to sleep in the day and be awake at night. Researched it and while most people can change their sleep cycles, some cannot. Yay...lucky me.

[@juliaharding8890]

melatonin is helpful for sleep at night. Take melatonin pills

[@TheJanayWellsShow]

I have the same issue and experience. Sounds like a circadian rhythm issue that's delayed (delayed sleep phase syndrome).

[@ME-br6lt]

​@@TheJanayWellsShow watch dr andrew huberman jet lag video here on youtube. he explains how to advance your circadian rhythm using bright light at a very specific time - dependent on your minimum body temperature.

[@RainAngel111]

As someone who is lucky enough to be able to wake up whenever I want most days, our society sucks in how it forces people to wake up away from natural hours. Back in the days before we had proper clocks, people went to sleep and got up mostly according to the sun, and it worked for them. When I wake up naturally, it feels so good. Well, not really good, but more like, it's so good compared to being jolted up at the worst time, that it's good. Being awake and knowing you got enough sleep that night is awesome.

[@HaroldDavidsonUS]

The only thing I've noticed about my sleep is this... If I have something to do, it doesn't matter if I've slept for 8 hours or 5 minutes, I'll be ready and full of energy. But if I have NOTHING to do that day, I will be unconscious for 15 hours and no force on Earth can move me. lol

[@Jathax]

My phone alarm set off once when I was really tired, it took me 2 minutes to figure out how to turn the alarm off, anyone else ever have that?

[@Euronius]

Sort of. A friend called me early today, it took me roughly about one minute to get my head around who was calling.

[@amandaegeskovhald8222]

Yeah, I've tried that before too after a night where I barely got any sleep. You're just SO confused if you wake up during deep sleep.

[@entrancedsnow7076]

Every time i use my phone as an alarm, I always miss the off button. But when I use an actual alarm. I get up, smack snooze or off, then go back to sleep.

[@pindaklaasje12345]

Jathax Every... single.... stupid... time.... o.o when your really awake i always think: "im so stupid... i could have just hit the off button instead of throwing it across the room"

[@SheConspiracyPlotter]

i always drop everything lol when i take my phone or clock because i want to turn off the alarm, i keep dropping it

[@communicationbreakdown256]

born a night owl. not my fault. worked retail cuz I loved the 2 to 10pm shift or whatever closing was. never have been able to pop outta bed in mornings. I've had a morning/day job now for a long time and am ready to find a 2nd shift job again. it doesn't help that my bed is super duper comfy. winning the lotto is my real plan, though. no matter how tired I am all day, once I'm home from work and 10 pm hits, then I'm ready to stay up. also, no matter how much sleep I get, waking up for me is a long process. I can do 10+ hours easy. most people say they get a headache from sleeping too much. never for me. headache if I don't sleep enough.

[@MrJimbissle]

I have a friend with the same sleep schedule. Their mom says that it goes back to before they were born. Even then at around 10PM they would start bouncing around.

[@JackHernandezGentlemanJack]

[@FarryEntertainment]

Why cant we live a life where we wake up naturally? The problem is working 8 hours a day. 8 hours is waay to long and thats even without the traffic and other preperations. We need to tune it down to 6 work hours a day or even less. Life is not about work.

[@AntiGravityLazer]

My Solution: When you wake up , throw the pillow away and sleep for 10-15 minutes WITHOUT the pillow under your head , you'll automatically want to STAND UP and get out of bed because you'll feel pressure in your head after 10-15 minutes. Works for me everyday ☺

[@insertphrasehere15]

unless you sleep without a pillow...

[@AntiGravityLazer]

No , I mean sleep with a pillow and then throw it away AFTER you wake up , not to sleep without a pillow !

[@christianingmarkjlsvik7872]

You Australiam m8?

[@RisaPlays]

I find that having a snooze set to go off every 5 minutes actually does help me over time. 30 minutes is too long and you can easily fall asleep in that time. 5 minutes of extra rest repeated until I fully wake up while trying to get myself to think about what I need to do that day actually helps me get up over time. I just need to set my alarm to go off for the first time much earlier than I'd actually need to be getting out of bed.

[@alijd6287]

My alarm is set so I can snooze it 3 times every 5 minutes (15mins to try to open my eyes) 1st I might fall back asleep 2nd if I do anxiety will kick in and I’m like it’s more exhausting by lying here anxious than taking some deep breaths I try to do breath focus / train up to meditation being the first thing I do but that doesn’t always happen. Heh 😅

[@tinalevesque5772]

i am so lucky i work evenings monday to friday. i work 2-10 so i dont have an alarm clock or a bed time. its amazing waking up naturally every day and going to bed whenever i want. i usually get sleepy around 130am and wake up at 9-930 so i even get my 8 hours. the only flaw is i dont really have a life except on weekends since everyone else works morning shifts but honestly a healthy sleep pattern is more important to me.

[@communicationbreakdown256]

[@macsnafu]

I haven't used an alarm clock in about 20 years (I'm 51 now). Basically, when I go to bed, I tell myself what time I want or need to get up in the morning, and even though I'm sleeping, my mind somehow keeps track of time and wakes me up at the right time. It helps to keep a regular schedule and habituate yourself to go to bed and wake up at about the same times. And to have a good idea of how much sleep you actually need. And this isn't a perfect system; being sick or having an irregular schedule for some unavoidable reason can disrupt the habit, but the disruption is only temporary if get back into my regular schedule.

[@communicationbreakdown256]

you are very fortunate.

[@macsnafu]

Fortunate? In what way? Not using an alarm clock was a deliberate choice on my part.

[@zoyakaufmann7922]

Wow, I do this too, especially when my time to sleep is short enough that I'm highly likely to sleep through my alarms. Of course I still set tons and tons of alarms as well, but I swear that mentally setting that time intention makes me wake up with even less sleep inertia than I typically experience after more sleep. Quite a nifty trick haha

[@TheXavier20000]

I'm on my phone in bed about to go to sleep right now. Shit.

[@namibia5832]

All I need for sleep is play on my phone for like 5 minutes

[@thebestbrowser112]

Once you hit a consistent schedule its so easy to wake up

[@thumpertorque_]

How do I fix the schedule though? I can go to bed at 6-8 AM and wake up at 2-4 PM but for some reason can't sleep at 10-12 PM and wake up at 6-8 AM. It's just impossible for me to sleep at night.

[@thebestbrowser112]

Opposite Lock take a melatonin pill or Tylenol pm that will definitely put you to sleep. Try that for like 3 days and your body should naturally be tired around the time you would take the pill.(melatonin is better because your body uses melatonin to sleep so its more natural)

[@thumpertorque_]

The Best Browser I'll try the melatonin and see if it helps. I also woke up a little early today so I can go to bed early.

[@LovingDeantheGodMachine333]

The Best Browser You helped me so much anymore tips because I struggle with getting good sleep and getting on a schedule!

[@fastbaq4262]

start your day early, stay active and have a workout asap, use melatonin if you want with other herbs such as valerian...first 3-4 days might suck but just push through.

[@dc43083]

When I wake up in the middle of a dream I find that if I hit the “snooze” and fall back asleep quickly I will continue the same dream I was having. Sometimes the sound of my alarm actually becomes part of my dream briefly as opposed to waking me up right away. I have to agree though that while hitting the snooze feels great at the time it makes waking up so much harder then just getting up immediately upon the alarm going off.

[@Junokaii]

I used to be a night owl as well. I used to stay up until 3 and wake up at 11-12. But having changed where I live, the help of medication to a lesser extent, and keeping the blinds angled so the sun comes in in the morning. Using that I wake up at about 8-9 every morning now.

[@Junokaii]

On a side note... the biggest reason I like sleep is only so I go "oh it's this day now and not this day". Aside from that, I wish I never had to sleep. Or if I did, it'd be only for a couple hours. Sleep is such a waste. It's sad to think if you live until 100, 30+ years of it is spent sleeping. Instead of having fun, or doing something productive.

[@tennicktenstyl]

+Junokaii I find sleep one of l the most entertaining bits in my life, I don't regret any second of it. When you wake up you have to go to school or work and it's so boring.

[@Junokaii]

[@shirubaurufu]

ayy I woke up 1 hour ago does it count?

[@butters742]

I used to have a terrible time waking up. But if you get to bed between 10 and 11 regularly, You will get your melatonin regularly as well. After the Stages of sleep last 90 minutes before starting again, you just need to make sure when your alarm goes off, you are at the end of the sleep cycle. So if I go to bed at 10 and need to wake up for 6, Set the alarm for 5:30 (Since 1:30hrs x 5 cycles = 7:30hrs of sleep.) I find I wake up fully awake. If for some reason I get to bed past 10. Cutting the hours short of sleep can be done once in a while. So 6 hours of sleep is doable if I get to bed at 11:30 (1:30hrs x 4 = 6hrs of sleep) I still end up waking up refreshed. Just need to plan out that 90 minute cycle. Whether you go under 8 hours or blow over into 11 hours of sleep total. Of course getting it close to 8 hour ratio keeps us in balance. I started doing this literally a few weeks ago. I feel great for work, I'm not groggy in the morning. And I get to sleep pretty quick when I go to bed. Read this all in the book Sleep Smarter by Shawn Stevenson. Worth the read if you have trouble sleeping.

Something is wrong with you if you sleep that long. See a doctor. And just imagine how much sleeping that long is costing you. You would end up sleeping away 460000 hours, or 52 years. Imagine how much work you could get done and how much money you could make in the 230000 hours you waste sleeping twice as long as is necessary?

[@katiekilgore6918]

I'm a music major in college, and I get up early every morning to practice. It's not always easy to get up and get myself going, but now I know the science behind why that is. :) Getting up and moving and turning on a light helps, though. Usually, by the time I get to my university's music building, I'm pretty awake. I'm definitely a morning person.

[@CoolDudeClem]

I don't have to work so I can sleep as much as I want. Waking up naturally in a warm room is the best way, I don't feel like like someone smashed my head in with a big mallet. If my room is cold when I wake up though, i just feel completely drained and depressed. But like I said if my room is warm when I wake up, then I am full of energy and can get up easily and I'm in a good mood.

Any thoughts or advice for people that work constantly varying hours? I would think many peoples problem is that they work hours that don't really allow for a regular sleep schedule, such as flipping from morning shift to night or evening shift every 3 or 4 days. What do you do when you're not allowed to get into a regular rhythm?

[@colereisdorf9377]

couple of tips to wake up better 1.) set an alarm 20 minutes before you have to get up ( i know trace said not to do this but everyone is different) do this for every morning even weekends. you do reset the sleep cycle but this is a good start to controlling your wake up. This is because your body worships the repetition and knows what to expect. 2.) Do step 1 but actually get up and do 1 task for five minutes. and do this EVERY morning 3.) if you prefer a more "natural wake up" fall asleep to a song and wake up to that same song but change your alarm every night. There is a common phenomena where your body starts to reject the sound of a preset alarm due to the fact that it is waking you up 4.)(expert only) try taking off your alarm and waking up at a given time every morning (sounds hard right but its not impossible) like i said your body worships repetition so if you do all the steps (including going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time) it is possible. The floating scientific term is controlled sleep cycle if you want to search up more tips. These are from school research and personal experience.

I've only watched a few of these vids and decided to subscribe after seeing this one. I wish my wife would takw this info to heart as it isn't the first time I've told her that she's doing more harm than good to herself by setting multiple alarms, which in turn also hurts me, but screw it. She thinks she already knows everything and I'm an asshole for not breaking down and just moving my sleep space to a different room like both of our grandparents did. Wait, never mind, I'd still be an asshole but it isn't gonna stop me from sharing this video on the Facebook!

one way to weak up in morning to have commitment to in morning i remember i used to sleep 2-3 am night and weak up 9-10 am in morning , but it all has changed after i started running and cycling again no matter what time i sleep i will be awake till 6:15 and no surprise 6:30 i am at gym. i remember many times i come home around 4-5 after night ride but still can not skip running and exercise it makes me feel good. surpassingly more work i have for day more i run and i think it released the tension.

Tip for people who wake up in the dark: get a wake up light/daylight alarm clock

open curtains!? BITCH PLEASE WHEN I WAKE UP THE SUN IS NOT EVEN UP..

[@SauceyRedHN]

3:13 If I want to wake up at around 5:00, I set my alarm at 5:00 and 5:03, same if I go later to sleep and want to wake up at 5:20, I set it to that and 5:23, same with 5:30. Doing that I don’t have much time to restart my cycle. I used to stay up late at night and wake up early for school, then decided to start waking up early and go to sleep early, MUCH better

[@insertphrasehere15]

Use a smartphone app called Sleep Cycle. It works by sitting next to you in your bed and monitoring your sleep cycles, then it times your alarm in the morning to wake you up at the optimal time in your sleep cycle, in the 30-40 min before you have to be up. You lose 20 or so minutes of sleep on average but it is DEFINITELY worth it, because you almost always wake up in a light sleep part of the cycle, giving you a great start to the day.

Not eating a ton of sugar right before I got to bed helps.

[@phs125]

I've tried setting up really annoying alarm tones, but somehow, they all turn up to be background music for my dreams

[@Sinrise]

I have tried and tried and tried and nothing seems to affect my awful sleep cycle. I never feel rested, I have a hard time getting to sleep. Nothing I have tried in 42 years has made a single bit of difference, including changing my routine. I've had jobs that require an early start time but it doesn't get easier. It gets harder and harder...

[@obsoleto_og]

he reminds me somehow of moriarty

[@KapinKrunch]

I have I changed my sleep schedule before. The best way to do it I have found is to use your alarm to wake up a little earlier each day until you're used to going to sleep on time to get up when you want to. Maybe use a weekend to get your sleep straight.

[@atklm1]

I always wake up when I feel like it. Only exception every year is Christmas eve, when I need to get to family christmas dinner at noon and it's an hour long car ride.

[@roxydzey]

well other video told that the best way to wake up is without alarm clock. you can use alarm only to make sure u failed to wake up by yourself, there is a page which can calculate when is the best time to go to sleep according to time when u have to wake up, it calculates that u will sleep for a proper time to go through all sleep phases and wake up by yourself. once again - if you are afraid to wake up too late u can prepare emergency alarm couple minutes after the original time when u have to wake up by yourself.

[@YouTubehandle6762]

I hate when I am dreaming about something then my alarm goes off and like I'm falling and I jump awake

[@julie8737]

im fuked up man

[@SJR275]

I@m a student... this means i stay up till 2am+ binge watching on the internet, working on my assignment till the last minute, playing games or drinking. Then getting up at 8 and crying about why I did all those things the night before

[@OdinComposer]

Ugh I've been trying forever to get a sleep pattern going. It's so hard because I have to be alert for studies and all that, but forcing myself to wake up early just makes me tired. Every time it's starting to get better I go to a party or something and the whole thing resets. I'm not as bad as my roommate though, who sleeps past daylight hours and lays in bed for hours even after he wakes up.

[@hm12o]

Joys of overnight shifts.

[@ForgottenDawn]

I've had false awakenings too. My God, they're annoying. It's getting back to sleep soon after your alarm clock rings, and then *dreaming* of getting up, going to the restroom, doing all your business... until you wake up again feeling like you're all cleaned up when you're still in bed.

[@sassenanch.981]

wtf. i was laughing like mad. yeah. i set my alarms for 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 in the morning to no avail. i failed to wake up. and most of the time, i ended up ditching up my morning subjects and continued to sleep until almost noon. that is so fucking terrible.

[@ZubAirT]

SLEEP IS FOR THE WEAK !!! By Jackscepticeye

[@AlexrooXell]

As far as i know, the REM sleep occurs on stage 2, not stage 4. And REM sleep it's not a stage itself, it's just another form of sleep register that switches on when you reach stage 2

[@Willpower360]

Wakes up early in weekend, no school Wakes up late in night, yes school. Goes back to sleep

[@heehokuzunoha7757]

Sometimes getting out of bed and starting the day in general is pretty hard. We are a sad society ):

[@samdal420]

Also there's the depression and existential dread of if anything I ever do will ever matter and the fear of how much pain I'll be subjected to throughout the day 🤨

[@shadomatch4375]

When I have to wake up, it's still dark outside. Subarctic, man.

[@RedKingTalos]

I would change my sleep schedule but frankly my school schedule doesn't allow it

[@WilliamCollier]

The new set is soooo boring!!

[@StevenNigro421]

I had to wake up at 5:30 AM to go to school and I'm always tired and I don't have time for breakfast until the weekend and I was such a rush for the bus. 🙄😒

[@extra2345]

Open the curtains to get some sunlight? Have you heard about Swedish winter?

[@Donosauros_Rex]

Teachers and parents need to watch this.

[@03david08]

My strategy that has worked very well is to have an alarm on my phone at 7.00. Then have another alarm on my alarm clock at 7.07. The trick is that my alarm clock is in the other side of my room. I fly out of bed, then when i'm already up i can usually stay up.

[@blackcatt10]

my dad said that when i was a baby i cried every time i woke up... little does he know i still do the same think 17 years later

[@pablogallardo7952]

I think you’re wrong. The four stage is call NREM, when you’re in your deepest sleep, but you don’t dream (and it is actually a very different process). And even before the first stage, is REM, when you do dream and have a lot of activity in your brain.

"get out of bed" looks like we need a follow up of "why is it hard to get out of bed, even if you wake up"

[@michaellibovner4173]

The best way I fall asleep is I use my phone for like 5-10 minutes and then gradually drop my brightness settings which then causes my eyes to relax more and more until I feel sleepy. I feel like this is a much better method in my opinion because it takes me sometimes hours to fall asleep if I just shut off my lights because I fee like my eyes get so used to the bright light from the lamp that I stay alert.

[@slr-d]

This video is pretty accurate. I'm impressed

[@SocietyOfDecency]

That 5-10 minute process for stage 1 is the hardest for me... It takes me hours sometimes to fall asleep.

[@guitarrplayer16]

Problem with living in Sweden is that there is no light in the morning when you wake Durning eastern and the sun only shines for about 7 hours a day meaning you usually get home when darkness has fallen again. I need light to wake, nothing else works. So I have a huge problem waking up.

[@Bluemansonic]

I'm a late night gamer and I do not like sleeping even when I need it I try to avoid it...

[@paulaclarke3421]

I find that having a picture of Trace with his lovely smile is a real help in waking. Alternatively, I can turn over, go back to sleep and hope to dream about Trace. Is this wrong?

[@afonsords]

I feel like this is one of those things people in the future will be horrified just thinking about. It can't be good for you this habit of jolting from deep sleep like that, especially for most days of our lives.

[@user-it8kw3wy2y]

"But that never really helps does it" So cute when he said that

[@baileyheaton7087]

for school went to bed between 11 and midnight wake depends what class i have for weekends and breaks from school between 11 and 1 am and wake up between 10 or 11 am to get breakfast or lunch

[@deutsch-amerikanisch8281]

I can sleep for like 3 hours wake up and not be tired, I've done this for a while now. Not sure what it is but it gives me alot of extra free time.

[@Ilovegrunge123]

Waking up during Nov and Dec when its cold and you don't have a heater is the hardest thing you just want to stay warm under your blankets.

[@thegamecracks1317]

Whenever I hear my name, I react like defibrillators just shocked me.
