I have an ok sleep schedule, I still wake up tired at times.
I sleep like shit :)
Pretty good, actually. I use a sleep timer that calculates a wake up time in 90 minute increments, which matches most people’s sleep cycles.
This ensures that I’m waking up at a time when my sleep is the lightest.
Like garbage, I don’t usually fall asleep till around 3:00 am then I have to wake at 7 for work.
I’ve had insomnia for years now, and I’ve taken trazodone and melatonin, but it was still a struggle to get tired sometimes. In January I started also taking diphenhydramine hcl, and it’s made a world of difference.
I’m not going to cite a specific brand, but there a a bunch out there if you want to try it for yourself.
I’d say I usually sleep ok but sometimes I have episodes of four days or so where I have troubles falling asleep for no apparent reason. Melatonin helps though. Alcohol also has a terrible effect on sleep quality for me so my sleep has gotten better recently as I can’t drink much anymore due to my new medication.
There’s some revenge bedtime procrastination going on sometimes that affects my sleep schedule so I guess I could sleep a bit more
Same problem, no matter how much I sleep, I’m always tired
Does sleep apnea or weight problems run in your family? I would wake up tired and sore every day until I got a CPAP. Now I wake up feeling so much better!
I don’t know
You might see if you can get to a sleep specialist or talk to your PCP to get tested. It was a complete game changer for me even though it took me about 6 months to get used to the machine
since Diablo 4 came out… terribly, lol

I got mono and COVID in 2020 and since then I’m just constantly tired and also not particularly sleeping well. I had all kinds of specialists looking at it, but unfortunately nothing really worked or gave us a lead. Having a 25-30 min power nap just before lunch is a good strategy to counter a large part of the fatigue tho. As long as I do that most of the days and sleep 8 hours it’s pretty okay and I can kinda deal with a full work week. And those power naps are the best. Usually I’m asleep within a few minutes and then I’m completely KO for the 25-30 minutes the nap takes.
usually 5 to 6 hours a day. sometimes if I cant sleep, I’ll scald some milk & drink it, seems to help a bit
Awful. I often take 1-2 hours to manage to fall asleep and I always wake up feeling absolutely fucked, usually taking at least another hour to get out of bed.
Add it all up and I usually end up wasting ~3 hours of my life every single day on sleep. I’ve tried pretty much anything under the sun short of nuclear options like Ambien (which I’m terrified of), nothing seems to help.
No schedule possible, always tired.
I’m a good sleeper. Always have been. Once I’m up I’m up. Once in a while I’ll wake up unnecessarily early but it doesn’t happen too much lately.
You could throw me in a ditch and I’d sleep.
I just bought my first mattress, cause apparently I’m a real adult now. It def helps.
If my cat is snugged cross my neck I sleep even better.
I’m “unusual” in that I’m a morning person, not by choice. Once I’m awake, I’m awake. Could be 6:30AM, could be 4AM. My mind just starts racing and I know going “back to sleep” isn’t happening. These days I tend to fall asleep easily (although, not so much in the past), but there’s no going back when I wake up, so on an average night I’m nodding out before 10. I had a sleep study done, and for me it was a huge waste of money, i.e. " You don’t have sleep apnea. You don’t need tranquilizers. See ya."
