My problem is that I get too much sleep and it's very difficult for me to wake up if there's no meeting scheduled that morning for my flexible remote job or if there's no social pressure to get up. I'll happily sleep 12-14 hours if you let me. I've been this way since I was a teenager, and I'm 25 now.
I know this sounds like I'm complaining about a luxury, and lack of sleep is definitely worse, but it's always made me feel like I'm wasting my days sleeping and missing out on life to a degree.
- vasco 5y agoMost of the ones awake wish they were sleeping an extra 2 hours, you enjoy it!
- coderenegade 5y agoGet a blood test. I was like this in my early twenties, turns out I'd had two strains of glandular fever.
- munificent 5y agoI was like that into my 20s. Now in my 40s, I'm lucky to get nine hours. Enjoy it while it lasts and don't worry about it too much. (But set an alarm if it's impacting work.)
- csdvrx 5y agoI'm just like you. Healthy, but I sleep a lot. 10h is ok, but 12h is my sweetspot. And before people ask, I love starting my day with a Monster (caffeine + taurine + ...) I just put that on genetic variability. Stop the FOMO on life: mornings are no better than afternoons :)
