I'm one of those people that can have survive on <6 hours. I envy those that can sleep long. I wake up at roughly the same time everyday, regardless of when I go to bed, with or without an alarm. It's annoying...

You're not alone A3, I'm literally the same but typically get 4-5 hours of sleep on a good night...always tired 😩

When you have a baby everything changes. Some nights it’s 3 hours and some it’s 6. The day arrives and it’s time to work. There’s no option at that point but to take care of yourself during the day the best you can. Lots of water and healthy eating definitely help…

For anyone here getting full nights of sleep and still feeling beaten down and under brain fog, consider looking into a sleep doctor for a sleep study.

I had hypersomnia for years and didn’t know it. I assumed I was tired because of hours and stress but even when I was in normal sleep schedules for extended periods I never felt anywhere near refreshed. Looking back my brain was only operating at ~70% of capacity.

Once I got diagnosed and went on stimulants I got my life back. Bosses immediately recognized a huge uptick in sharpness and productivity and I felt inclined to go socialize at night far more frequently. I arguably went from slight introvert to extrovert overnight on the back of treatment alone. Conversations or work tasks that I would normally regard as mentally tedious all of a sudden became easy and fun. The impact was that pronounced.

If there’s an underlying medical issue, taking the initiative to try and sort it could make a huge difference in your quality of life in and out of work.

I’m 25 and found out this year that I have narcolepsy. Sleep disorders are on a spectrum and I didn’t get diagnosed for so long b/c I thought I just needed more sleep than the average person. But I can definitely empathize - it is very frustrating and limiting!

I’ve been sleeping more since the pandemic, 9 hours or so. At first I was worried it was a sleep disorder or low mood but now I’m just realizing I finally have the time to get the sleep I need!

Me too! I used to hate to sleep (“a waste of time”) because I love staying up late, but now I am liking sleeping. Not 9 hours, but usually 7- much better than before! I love not having to get up and run into office!

I prefer at least 7 to feel well rested, but tend to survive on 5.5-6.5 during the week. I can get by with a catnap during the day to tide me over till bedtime.

I drink 1-2 diet Snapples per weekday as my only caffeine.
