I have an ok sleep schedule, I still wake up tired at times.
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.
Like garbage, I don’t usually fall asleep till around 3:00 am then I have to wake at 7 for work.
If your sleeping 7 plus hours a night and still feeling knackered it’s worth talking to a doctor and having some tests done, there’s loads of reasons for feeling tired all the time.
In terms of improving sleep having a consistent sleep and wake time is super important and having a wind down routine is helpful.
If you struggle to get to sleep a good technique is to get up after 15-20 minutes (not timing but when it feels like you’ve been trying to sleep that long) and do something with a low thinking requirement like reading a book or watching bad TV.
7 hours isn’t actually that many hours of sleep. It’s like the minimum recommended. I’d still recommend most people to aim for more than that if possible. It also depends on your lifestyle, like if you workout often you should probably sleep more for recovery reasons.
Also, most modern sleep studies are now done at home. As such, it’s a Mitch less big deal to get your sleep checked out, and insurance is more likely to cover it.
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.
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.
I usually sleep from 2 to 7 but I’m traveling right now and it’s 5-1PM. I know it sounds like it should be the other way around but it isn’t ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
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.
since Diablo 4 came out… terribly, lol
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
usually 5 to 6 hours a day. sometimes if I cant sleep, I’ll scald some milk & drink it, seems to help a bit
