Sleeping in is the right way. Most of us have some amount of sleep deprivation because our alarms have to wake us before we get enough sleep
Which in turn can cause things like craving inordinate amounts of ice cream
I once had the opportunity to just sleep as long as I needed ... as in no alarms or anything ... for an extended period of time (a few months).
I pretty quickly settled into a rhythm, which was surprising as I'm the kind that likes to stay up late and have always struggled with that. And I found that my preferred sleeping duration is around 9 hours. Also, sleep is nicer when you don't have to worry about sleeping in or not getting enough sleep ... the whole rhythm seemed to be much more stable if the essential task
resting etc
is reliably achieved.
It also, I suspect, revealed why my sleep rhythm has always been off. My natural sleeping time and sleep length didn't seem to align at all with typical working times. It seemed I naturally wanted to wake sleep from around 1-2am and wake at around 10-11am. Other factors, of course, may have been behind that ... but it seemed pretty obvious why I'd always had troubles ... 8-9am starts were always putting me off balance while I was never giving myself the chance to get 9hrs sleep.
Yeah yeah, we all lived through the pandemic too, you aren't special :-P
It wasn’t during the pandemic.
