don't worry. It'll come soon enough.
that thought is the main thing keeping me going
......its taking too long! Soon enough isn't soon ENOUGH!!!
Well with the logarithmic nature of time perception it won't be long now
Wrong meme use.
But have you investigated whether it's sleep apnoea? I use the sleepy face tube and it stops precisely what you are describing.
The maker was too tired to use the right one.
And yes actually that's been suggested before. I really should get a test done.
It might be easier than you think. I did my sleep study like a year ago thinking I would have to stay overnight in the clinic, but no they just gave me a 15-minute demo about how to set up the diagnostic machine and sent it home with me. Brought it back the next day and got my CPAP like a week or two later after the doctor had reviewed the results.
I'm not sure if that's available here or not. I did always wonder how different it would be when sleeping in an unfamiliar environment.
For real, there is a line that demarcates my life into two distinct segments- before CPAP and after CPAP. It's no joke when I describe it as a life changing event. If you're thinking about getting checked out for it, just do it. You won't regret it even if you do end up having to use the machine.
Wow, when you put it that way.
Me: go to sleep, wake up feeling refreshed and well rested; look at the clock it's been 32 minutes.
Also Me: go to sleep, wake up feeling like I never went to sleep; look at the clock it's been 9 hours.
Something it's less about duration and more about waking between sleep cycles rather than in the middle of one.
You're gonna hate me.
I walk into my room. I turn on the light/fan with the switch on the wall. I lay down, I flip the switch on my alarm clock. I turn off the light. And I fall asleep within 20 seconds.
Everytime.
All I can say is that I don't drink caffene within 2 hours of bed. I have a regular bedtime. And I don't wake up at ungodly hours like 6am. I wake up at 1pm like a normal functioning adult. And then when it's bedtime, it's BEEEEDDDDDTIIIIIMMMMEEE!!!!
ZZZZzzz.......ZZZZZzzzzzz......
You get up at 1pm?
Well, today it was 2pm, but that's only because I didn't realize how late it was. I thought I only hit snooze once. Turns out I'd been hitting it for an hour in a half sleep. Which means my hour of productive cleaning before shower time was lost, but, I'm still not running late. I just didn't get to clean today.
Same here, the trick is drinking 5-6 beers before bedtime.
I had a week off last week the weekend I slept in as usual but on the second work day off I got super tired like 4 hours before I usually go to sleep, passed out and then slept through basically all of the day, sleeping about 18 hours in total, then sleeping again a few hours later at my normal time.
That felt like I finally slept the sleep that needed to be slept
It is a very unique feeling to feel true rest once in years, I sleept for 16 hours straight, never felt so rested and functional again.
Sleep specialists on a podcast I used to follow said it is entirely possible to catch up on sleep. It is not a myth. It is proven science.
Nonono, you can't just grab memes from yt. You gotta crop the X out for everyones enjoyment
Glad there are other people who care.

Sleep apnea
Try cutting caffeine out of your system, or at least cut back to only in the morning before like 10 a.m.
Drink plenty of liquids.
Then pop some magnesium about 30 minutes before you're ready for bed.
You'll sleep like a baby.
60% of the time, this works 100% of the time.
I am consistently that 40%
Me trying to sleep the depression
Sleep "away* or..?
Edit: emphasis
Start with your sleep schedule (approx same time to bed, approx same time getting out of bed)
Do not eat 2h (3h is better) before bed
Drink more water (not juice, not milk, not tea or coffee. water!)
Enable "reduce blue light" on your phone and computer
Do not scroll phone before bed, DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING on your phone before falling asleep (extremely important)
Try to watch sun sets (it is baked in our nature to feel tired once we witness sun to set)
Try not to use bright ceiling light in the evening (this is connected previous point. It is weird but it works)
Lower down or remove caffeine from your daily liquid intake. ABSOLUTELY NO caffeine before bed. If you are addicted to caffeine, try to limit intake to only before noon.
Magnesium helps to get better sleep for some. Try that.
You cant avoid skipping a few of these. The absolutely must ones are no scrolling/watching phone, no caffeine and no food before bed. These 3 are the worst ones at screwing your sleep.
I'm not here to disagree I've gone through this and my sleep has improved. But for some reason the phone thing isn't affecting mine as much. I only do it sporadically but yeah the stable rhythm no caffeine (after 2 pm for me) and such they help. Also no alcohol!
Wasn't there a study just published last month or so that showed that the blue light from phones is super over-blown? I know I just read this...
It's not the blue light, it's the endless scrolling that keeps your stress level up.
I switched my phone to the softer red light based screen setting on my android.
Do not scroll phone before bed, DO NOT LISTEN TO ANYTHING on your phone before falling asleep (extremely important)
I am unable to fall asleep without watching/listening some youtube video on my phone...
It is like a drug in a sense that you will have to put effort in withdrawal. You have successfully trained your brain to fall asleep only if you are listening to things, but by listening you'd be occupying your brain and it has to do work while at it. Removing phone from before and in bed would lead your brain to naturally shut down.
I used to do the same. Streams or long and boring YT videos to fall asleep to. My sleep was terrible and inconsistent. Once I have stopped doing this, it has improved drastically.
I am not telling you to read a book before falling asleep. Just do not do anything. Get in bed. Put your phone on charge. Turn lights off and fall asleep. It will take time to get accustomed to do it this way, but it will be worth it.
My sleep is pretty bad so I will seriously consider trying this, thanks.
