I prefere power naps on the afternoon, around 3-5 hours.
 I wake up myself after around 4 hours and stay awake until next day the same time as the day before, then again power nap, you wont make it any longer anyway.
Then repeating, it works for me. 4h sleep on afternoon, 20h awake.
And yes, it will indeed kill you after weeks

Hm, you can´t really "sleep less" on a long run, since you always need a specific amount of sleep. But you can try sleeping more efficiently.

Find out how many hours you need on a long term (f.e. I need at least 6 hours to be somewhat good to go and 8 hours to be completely refreshed. This of course varies depending on how much sleep you got the day before and physical strain). This number might slightly decrease when you get older.

Get to bed before midnight, that´s the phase where you get most of the energy (although even I barely manage to do that. Well, at least I keep it in mind).

And if you occasionally get sleepy in the afternoon (and you have the time to get about 30 to 60 mins of sleep), do it, you´ll do your body a favour. Just try to not sleep 2+ hours in the afternoon, cause then you could get troubles falling asleep in the evening...

Sleeping is good m´kay

helps quite a lot to wake up at the right time. If your alarm sets off during an REM phase,  you feel fucked like a catholic chorister.

so you might want to try a sleep phase alarm clock, which wakes you by slowly increasing light intensity, or an app that does the same,  analyzing your breathing rhythms to know when to set off the alarm.

I have been back into my piss rhythm for the past few days, which makes me need to pee after like 6 hours of sleep. The timing of awaking naturally because I have to pee is usually spot on with a light sleep phase, so I wake up breezy and awake and ready to roll for 17-18 hours. At least that is what I have theorized to explain waking up so nicely each day.

Before that I was fucked up for a few weeks. I had real trouble getting out of bed or even waking up. I would often fall asleep pretty much directly after turning off alarms, until I had 4 of them that got progressively more obtrusive. I felt like I could sleep 10-12 hours every night, because in the morning I would always feel like I just ran a marathon and sleep was the most amazing thing ever. Felt pretty amazing if I had time for it, but it wasted way too much time.

Anyone has any experience with trying to set alarms like 1,5-2 hours before you have to get up, so that you restart your sleep phase and sync up light sleep with having to get up? I have done this for a year now, but the "feeling dead tired" phase convinced me that it probably does not really work and I dropped it. Perhaps I am just getting the numbers wrong.

I simply hurl myself out of bed as soon as I hear the dreadful alarm (actually the Bard's Song isn't dreadful, but having to get up upon hearing it is). No matter how fucked I feel, I do that. Because I know that I need at least 4-5 more hours to get up slightly energized. Postponing by minutes doesn't do any good.

I made the same mistake of setting my alarm ringtone to a great song. Now whenever I hear it even at other times of the day I'm filled with a brief spasm of anxiety since I associate it the dreadful feeling of having to drag myself out of bed.

When I try to take a nap in the afternoon I wake up 5 hours later. Im allways totally fucked then, cant really open my eyes, my body feels like I just did a marathon and my mind is totally blown.. Most of the time then I have no idea whats going on lol. My sister once came in my room at 9 pm and asked me if she should turn off the light - I asked what time it is - she replied it is 9 - I asked seriously if it is pm or am :O

Those naps are the worst thing I can do to fuck up a day xD normally I sleep 4 hours under the week and then friday I dont go out, I go to bed at midnight and sleep about 10-16 hours, then Im fresh again. And it is starting again. Its actually working out for me pretty good.

Edit: lel just saw that marathon thing in teeths post :3 weird


@teeth: Im doing it like this: I have one for 6 AM. that one is just for getting outta the deep sleep. Next one is at 6:30. its the one i should actually stand up with. 6:45 is the one I need either for reminding me what time it is or if I actually fell asleep again to wake me up again. at 7:00 is the last one. then I gotta start picking my shit up then and get ready for driving to school.

And if u need something that makes u stand up in the morning, take a hot shower for about 15 minutes directly after standing up. Im just sitting there then for some minutes and making mentally ready for the day

I haven't worked at a restaurant in years but I still wake up in the middle of the night because my brain pretends to hear a ticket printer going off.

Also sometimes I have this dream that it's dinner rush and one of the sauces broke and I wake up still thinking "ah fuck I need to go start some alfredo but I'm already 4 tickets behind grill and I uh oh it's 3AM fuck you brain."

irl something shorted on the shuttle and laika overheated and died within a few hours of liftoff and for a brief while one could look up to the stars and see a light shooting across the sky that was actually a warm dog corpse slingshoting about the earth at thousands of miles per hour which was arguably humanity's greatest achievement so far

Night shifts also do that to your brain. It sucks.

I have some default cellphone song as alarm, but i am very keen to hearing similar sounds in other things, so on occasions i will hear just the slightest similarity of it somewhere and instantly be hit with the same feeling. Fuck alarms man, maybe switching regularly is key.
Paprika: ...the Internet and dreams are similar. They're areas where the repressed conscious mind escapes.

I've been reading about this recently. There are now devices which supposedly monitor your REM patterns and wake you up close to your alarm time but out of REM. Supposed to make you feel much more awake when you do wake up.

I used to be able to hear my alarm and be up and out of bed in seconds. Now that snooze button is all so tempting, I usually hit it 3-4 times before getting up.

Classic mistake is waking up naturally feeling refreshed, seeing you have an hour left before you actually get up, going back to sleep and then getting woken up by your alarm feeling totally fucked.

The worst part about sleeping is trying to fucking fall asleep in bed for like 2 hours then waking up in the early morning devastated because you didn't get enough sleep. wtf is this
