Just dream about sleeping and being well rested afterwards while taking a power nap. Ezpz.

"Ugh, I feel like garbage."

"You must have slept wrong."

"WHY is that POSSIBLE?"

One of my college roommates only needed six hours.

Jokes on him, he got to hear me hit the snooze for an hour every day.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don't only need six hours, but it's all my body allows me to get lately.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (8 children)

Yeah, I straight up cannot just sleep in. If I lay there extra, things just start to hurt, like my body's saying "Get up, you have shit to do."

Add to my list of evidence against intelligent design.

[–] FrostyCaveman@lemm.ee 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Intelligent design, but the designer was on a tight schedule and had to ship the MVP

[–] BugleFingers@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

The designer didn't sleep for 3 days themselves. Gonna make some mistakes with that kinda lack of sleep

I'm with you there.

If this ::wildly points at self:: is intelligent design, then said intelligence clearly adhered to a strict "just barely good enough to survive and move genes around" work ethos. That, or over-doing it wasn't going to fit into the time and materials budget.

CPAP, bitches, get it!

but first see a doctor, maybe your sleep quality is bad due to different factors

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 43 points 1 week ago

Stress, poverty, poor health, overwork, poor mental health...

[–] FinalRemix@lemmy.world 22 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Cpap doesn't work for everyone, either. So don't feel like a failure when it actually makes your sleep quality worse.

[–] icedterminal@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Definitely see a doctor first. While a CPAP machine can do wonders, it really only works for those who stop breathing. If you don't stop breathing, it can actually do more harm to your sleep.

[–] toynbee@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

Especially if you know nothing about CPAP machines and your physician / pulmonologist select one for you and you get a Phillips one that turns out to rot from the inside and potentially send deadly material straight into your respiratory system.

I fully support CPAP use as recommended after a sleep study, but that was a poor investment by my insurance company.

edit: Though I guess if you get one without seeing your doctor first they won't be selecting one for you.

Narcolepsy here. CPAP is not helpful.

This mfer thinks we can afford a CPAP

I’m one of the unlucky ones that the cpap doesn’t magically fix everything. 😢

Samesies. Though I've been rather inconsistent with my usage. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I used to wake up energized about twice per year. These last few years I always wake up tired.

I've had sleep apnea tests (I dont have it).

I stopped drinking alcohol, ironically a lot of the 'hangovers' I had appear to be how I wake up without drinking too.

I drink about 1l of water before bed. If I dont, I get let cramps when asleep.

I eat multivitamins daily with addition iron and vitamin D.

I used to drink a lot of coffee but now can't stomach the stuff.

I went caffeine free for months and it didnt help.

I'm completely screws lol :D

[–] Classy@sh.itjust.works 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Not to preach to the choir, but my sleep quality improved greatly when I started a very physical job. Not to say you have to do that, but moving around can be very beneficial

[–] anonymous111@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Thanks for the help!

I've worked out 5 days a week, 3 days weights, 2 days cardio with no noticeable impact.

I'm glad it worked for you :)

[–] Track_Shovel 8 points 1 week ago (6 children)

Let me introduce you to my friend Magnesium. It's improved my sleep quality substantially in the past 2 weeks I've started taking it

Not to seem like an ad, but buying a cooling pod for my bed was game changer. I used to sleep like a rotisserie chicken and was always tired. Now I cool my bed all night and not only have the corners of my sheets stayed put but I'm just significantly less tired all around.

Considering what you've tried this might seem obvious but since I didn't see these explicitly mentioned:

Have you tried being really consistent with your sleep schedule? Especially the time you wake up? (Probably the most important thing one can do for sleep quality)

Have you checked wether the temperature you sleep in is ideal(cooler than normal)?

Have you eliminated lights and noise from your bedroom? It needs to be completely dark and insulated from noise.

Have you checked your sleep position and mattress? There are certain professional suggestions I've read about, like you should sleep on your side ideally with your dominant hand on top(fetal position) and the mattress should not be too hard or too soft and you sink into it too much and you should be replacing it from time to time(5-10 years).

Have you optimized your pre and post sleep routines? Like staying away from screens and blue lights, winding down(for pre sleep), not changing up the routines as much as possible.

Are you exercising enough and enough time before sleep?

[–] d2k1@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Have you checked the air quality in your room during the night? If the CO2 level is too high you will not sleep well and may wake up with headaches or otherwise feeling unwell.

Best to sleep with a window open to ensure some fresh air can get in.

Could just be dehydration. Drink some water in the morming and see if that helps.

[–] Track_Shovel 42 points 1 week ago

What are you talking about? I love myself for 3 minutes before bed every night

[–] Asafum@feddit.nl 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Tossing, turning, tossing, get up to pee, tossing, back pain, turning, tossing, goddamn it it's 3 am already, tossing, turning, get up to pee, tossing, cat goes genocidal on her toys, alarm goes off.

Time, you sonofabitch...

[–] tweeks@feddit.nl 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You forget the falling asleep literally 12 minutes before your alarm goes off.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

The deepest, most-restful sleep of the night.

[–] mochisuki@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Get a home sleep study. Insurance covers a CPAP with Dr prescription. But mental hurdle but man waking up fresh is worth it

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

I'm American. What insurance?

Wait so sleep has momentum? Does sleep have mass? Is dark matter just all the sleep in the galaxy? Coffee is an anti-gravitational field??

[–] Sabata11792@ani.social 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Have you ever slept? It's obviously a phenomenon in the quantum scale. No other explanation could possibly cover why it has such a weak impact unless done in bulk and oddities like waking up in entangled states of asleep and awake.

[–] psoul@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Sleep paralysis is basically Shroedinger’s uncertainty principle. Asleep and awake.

Tossing and turning, struggling to fall asleep, and getting up to go to the toilet at totally random times.
