I wish I were you. I am incapable of sleeping without some sort of aid (alcohol, weed, utter exhaustion from extremely strenuous exercise).
I'm pretty sure it partially has to do with my environment (living in NY, which is loud and full of light, even at night).
But also some people are simply lighter sleepers than others. No one in my family is ever able to stay asleep longer than 5am, and all of us are very light sleepers.
My boyfriend is able to fall asleep and stay asleep WITHOUT being blackout drunk. I am amazed by this.
- ufmace 10y agoI just moved to NY myself a few weeks ago, and am generally a pretty light sleeper. I didn't have trouble falling asleep, but I had trouble with waking up at 4AM, as soon as sunlight really started coming in. Luckily, the solution was easy - $100 or so gets a set of blackout curtains that can just about make the place pitch black in direct sunlight. Apparently New Yorkers are oddly averse to curtains for some reason... Noise is a little tougher. Luckily, my place is pretty well insulated. But white noise like fans and such and earplugs can help a lot.
- ambicapter 10y agoWhy not just get up at 4am? Its a very quiet time of the day to get work done and it lets you feel smarmily 'ahead' of everyone else (disclaimer: I don't actually get up at this time).
