I tried talking to someone today and I was told that the reason for this might be because I feel particularly stressed out before going to bed or something like that. I was then told that I should try to figure out if there's any reason why I cannot relax properly and why I can't sleep well. Does anyone have any advice? I really need some help.   | ||

It will eventually start crushing you unless you give yourself some legit recuperation and go for 8 hours for a few nights. I've been getting 6 hours of sleep for a couple of years | ||

First of all, have you ever done a sleep study? It could be that you have sleep apnea or something going on. What you can do is have someone check in on you or observe you one night while you sleep. Or put a camera with audio and record it yourself then play it back in some x5 speed or something and look for any unusual stuff. PS- When I was younger I would sleep like 10+ hours a day more often than not. These days (late 20s) I can get by on 5-6 hours of sleep. And then get normal 8 hours on weekends. | ||

I have this occasionally where I go to sleep and open my eyes and feel like I've blinked. It's common for insomniacs. People think they haven't slept, but have. Their body feels, though, that it hasn't. Normally for me it's down to stress. Removing the stress or doing something that physically exhausts me an hour or so before sleep can help. Try something like that. | ||

Also, what time you go to bed and wake up? My personal schedule is 22:00 PM - 06:00 AM and it works splendidly. From what I've heard, having at least 2 hours of sleep before midnight makes the rest more effective. | ||

Although it usually results in being awake a couple of hoursbefore falling asleep, sometimes, afterwards, it feels like i haven't slept at all. I fixed this by shutting my computer down 1,5 hours before i plan to go to bed. Not sure it's the same, though. Might be completely wrong. | ||

It's my experience that sleeping longer than 6 hours is comfortable but doesn't really do anything else for me. Whereas, when you're used to sleeping 8-10 hours, waking up after 6 hours is uncomfortable. But I recommend trying it for like a week anyway and seeing if you run out of steam earlier than you normally would! | ||
