I just got a sleep apnea diagnosis so I'm really hoping that I'll actually feel rested once I get the machine. I can't imagine how much of a different it would make to everything.
My wife has narcolepsy and this is her life. No falling asleep randomly, that's mostly Hollywood. But she's never had a decent night's sleep in her life. Physically incapable.
Recently I've found that sleep duration doesn’t really matter, it’s more the quality of sleep. Like I tend to get to sleep around 4am, and wake at 9am (with fairly large fluctuations in actual length), but the times I wake up feeling shit were mostly just discomfort (maybe from overheating in bed, maybe the sheet got pushed together and now has a peak that’s entirely supporting my leg, etc.)
Ive also generally gotten better sleep since putting on a sleep mask (since the light from behind the curtains is pretty distracting, and the mask blocks it almost completely), and putting on one of my comfortable or favourite hoodies.
It’s not foolproof though, I still get shit sleep a lot, but hey, it’s at least better than it was haha

And then sometimes I get like 2 hours of sleep and I'm on top of the world
This is me!! 2 hours of sleep can revive me like nothing else can
I love 9 hours of sleep every night. 8 is not enough!

About to go get another too much sleep myself, see y'all later!
