    Please tell me how, getting up at 5 (and going to bed at 21) is going to give me more time than getting up at 7-8 and going to bed at 23-00.

    Also, I would like to know why “society” thinks you are “better” if you exercise at 6-7 before work, rather than 20-21 after work.

    My problem isn’t the timing of my waking up but the sleep to awake ratio which is completely out of sync with the 24 hour day. My ex woke up after 5 hours of sleep and was completely fine. I can either sleep less (than my ideal 9 hours) and become a zombie for most of the day, or sleep enough and end up going to bed super late, because I also don’t feel sleepy as early once I sleep enough. I’m just from a different planet where days are 28-30 hours long, and this place is just a constant fight with being sleepy and having to wake up before I feel properly rested.

      Naps. I sleep like 6-8 hours a night usually, and then I take a nap basically as soon as I get home. I find I have more functional time this way, even when I end up sleeping more than 9-10 hours, because I’m more refreshed and ready to go.

    Except the other guy should be the NPC. NPC’s don’t need as much sleep because they have no dreams.

    IDK I only get about 4 hours of sleep most nights, I don’t think getting up earlier is gonna go too great for me…

    Have you tried waking up earlier, so that you have time to relax before jumping up to do shit?

      That’s actually what I do lol

      I usually wake up 2 to 3 hours before I’m supposed to be at work so I have time to fully wake up.

      My biggest issue is that it takes me 2 to 3 hours to fully wake up 😅

      This post was inspired by a conversation that I had with a friend about not having time to do certain things like working on my car.

        How much sleep do you get? I’ve found that getting 8 hours of sleep and then getting up immediately when the alarm rings is the best way for me to get started in the day; waiting too long with getting up, getting dressed, or getting started just makes me more drowsy and adds mental inertia.

        Naturally we’re all individuals, so what works for me may not be right for someone else.

          Personally it doesn’t matter how long I’ve slept. I need at least an hour to mentally prepare on how to be a functioning person for the day.

            Does that include sleeping consistently at least 8 hours a night for at least a few weeks straight? In my experience, sleeping long after not getting enough sleep makes you feel even more tired the first few days.
