See, I'm the opposite. Even without the screen time or stimulation, I will fall dead asleep at 10pm, and no matter what, will wake up promptly at 4am.
I feel like there really are people who have different needs.
- fatnoah 8y agoThis. I haven't used an alarm for close to 20 years, though my cycle is closer to 12 to 6.
- lm28469 8y agoWell, that doesn't invalidate my point. The whole thing is to listen to your body, the problem is when people do 12 to 6 with an alarm, while they'd actually sleep form 10 to 7 without external constraints.
- matwood 8y agoAgree. I'm in bed between 9-10 every night (later than that is an exception), and read a book on my phone as part of my sleep ritual. My phones DnD comes on at 9 so I do not get any alerts while reading. From when I get in bed to read, to when I fall asleep might be 15 minutes depending on how much exercise I did that day. I set an alarm for 6am, but even without one I'm up between 6-7. Personally, I think the key for people who have a hard time sleeping is consistency. If someone is trying to go to sleep at 10pm Sunday through Thursday, but then staying up until 2-3am Friday and Saturday it's no wonder they can't get on a schedule.
- wyldfire 8y ago> will wake up promptly at 4am. A possible explanation is that you've trained your body to wake at that time -- but it isn't necessarily enough/appropriate sleep.
- Loughla 8y agoWouldn't there be feelings of tiredness or some kind of exhaustion? I generally feel well rested and chipper all day. Without those feelings of tiredness, how would you know if it's training or your actual internal clock working correctly?
- farresito 8y agoYou might very well be a short sleeper.
- walterstucco 8y agoHave you tried changing timezone? Two hours forward and it becomes 12-6 which is kinda normal.
