I've "slept enough" for a couple of years and developed a severe case of insomnia. I couldn't fall asleep till 2-3am, then slept till 10am to make up for it. Repeat. Bad idea.
Waking up at a regular time and restricting my sleep below what's comfortable has helped very quickly. I'm considering sleeping more, but feeling slightly groggy after sleeping 6.5 hours is way better than spending 10 hours in bed, 3 of them suffering.
Good point wrt unjust randomness, I'm terrible at embracing it. Any tips?

- stephc_int13 6y agoMy tip would be to discriminate between what is under your control and what is not. Typical things that are hard to control: the law of physics, the weather, 99.99% of human beings. Not reading the news might help.
- stephc_int13 6y agoInsomnia is a sign of a deteriorating mental health, you should focus on that instead of trying to hide it.
- tasuki 6y agoDo you have any references for that? Can't insomnia be caused by various things? In my case I'm pretty sure it was the consequence of sleeping comfortably long in the morning and waking up at irregular times.
- meiraleal 6y ago"Insomnia" can even be a sign of healthiness. It is often to see people experiencing a smaller need sleep while on ketosis/low-carb diet. I've been sleeping 5-6 hours every day for the past 2 years and although it bothers me (because I liked to sleep a lot and still enjoy it), I don't feel tired all day. Usually I also take a 30minutes nap around 1pm.
