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.
I don't only need six hours, but it's all my body allows me to get lately.
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."
Right. My wife and my daughter will sleep all morning. I'm up at 6 at the very latest. If I'm lucky.
Last year I discovered what 7/8h of sleep felt like thanks to horse adapted amounts of sleeping medication (120mg of Miamserine, 500mg of quetiapine, some THC).
Before that I was used to 5/6h on the regular and 1/3h when it got worse.
I don't really understand how I have functionned all these years with that much sleep deprivation.
I've been on various types of sleep medication, although those sound like newer ones than when I was trying them years ago- every single one of them left me drowsy in the morning. Some for half the day. It was even worse than just not getting a full 8 hours.
And OTC stuff? Forget it. If I take some NyQuil, I basically will be unable to do much but sit there in a haze for the next 18 hours or so.
Yeah these are pretty newish. It might also not be what they're called in your country.
My main issue with otc stuff is that it tended to make me drowsy but still unable to sleep ...

I practically ran on 2-4 hours from 16-30.
I have a lot to show for it, but I should have stopped after 30.
Is one of the things you have to show for it premature aging?
I'm currently treating sleep apnea, because of a lifelong abuse of my sleep cycle.
I'm also dealing with issues with my heart because of the apnea and pushing my body so far without resting properly.
I've likely stolen a decade or more from my life all because I refused to sleep just to "get ahead".
you young folk take note. sleep well, eat well, live well. you do those things and you shouldn't need to live with a weight on your chest until you die. every hour I'm reminded how fragile I am, and trust me when I say I was fucking invincible in my youth...just like you feel. go head, set a timer in your phone to go off every hour that asks if you're going to see tomorrow.
CPAP, bitches, get it!
but first see a doctor, maybe your sleep quality is bad due to different factors
This mfer thinks we can afford a CPAP
My condolences, you must be American.
Hey, I'm am an American with a CPAP machine. I did get it when I was using that socialized medical world of the military though. 🤔
It did do wonders for my sleep too. I woke up much more refreshed.

Cpap doesn't work for everyone, either. So don't feel like a failure when it actually makes your sleep quality worse.
Stress, poverty, poor health, overwork, poor mental health...
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)_/¯
Narcolepsy here. CPAP is not helpful.
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.
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.

Dream about talking to huge crowd of people
Wake up exhausted from talking to people
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?"
Could just be dehydration. Drink some water in the morming and see if that helps.
You were born to die as a soldier at 25
Add to my list of evidence against intelligent design.
Intelligent design, but the designer was on a tight schedule and had to ship the MVP
The designer didn't sleep for 3 days themselves. Gonna make some mistakes with that kinda lack of sleep
Intelligent design but the budget was managed by an insurance company.
Drag thinks humanity was created by the gods. Drag also thinks the gods are stupid. 13.7 billion years and the best those fuckers could come up with was evolution? What a joke!
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.

Don't forget the absolutely deranged path wour vagal nerve takes through your torsoe because fish didn't have necks and we do.
Which isn't even half as insane as what it does in a giraffe
This might be a self love issue
What are you talking about? I love myself for 3 minutes before bed every night
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
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

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.
That sounds pleasant but I'd need a tiny oven for my feet.

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

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.

Sleep inertia
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??
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.
