I have an ok sleep schedule, I still wake up tired at times.
since Diablo 4 came out… terribly, lol
Awful. I often take 1-2 hours to manage to fall asleep and I always wake up feeling absolutely fucked, usually taking at least another hour to get out of bed.
Add it all up and I usually end up wasting ~3 hours of my life every single day on sleep. I’ve tried pretty much anything under the sun short of nuclear options like Ambien (which I’m terrified of), nothing seems to help.
Pretty good, actually. I use a sleep timer that calculates a wake up time in 90 minute increments, which matches most people’s sleep cycles.
This ensures that I’m waking up at a time when my sleep is the lightest.
There’s some revenge bedtime procrastination going on sometimes that affects my sleep schedule so I guess I could sleep a bit more
If your sleeping 7 plus hours a night and still feeling knackered it’s worth talking to a doctor and having some tests done, there’s loads of reasons for feeling tired all the time.
In terms of improving sleep having a consistent sleep and wake time is super important and having a wind down routine is helpful.
If you struggle to get to sleep a good technique is to get up after 15-20 minutes (not timing but when it feels like you’ve been trying to sleep that long) and do something with a low thinking requirement like reading a book or watching bad TV.
7 hours isn’t actually that many hours of sleep. It’s like the minimum recommended. I’d still recommend most people to aim for more than that if possible. It also depends on your lifestyle, like if you workout often you should probably sleep more for recovery reasons.
