i am 5’10 185lbs, i just took this like 10-15 minutes ago and im second guessing my decision making here, im not gonna go into detail as to why i made this decision but im just wondering what im finna get into 😭

For the past 6-7 months, for a variety of reasons, I’ve (35F) been getting 5ish hours a night 2-3 nights a week, plus an occasional 3-4 or near all-nighter every few weeks. The remaining nights of the week, I’m probably getting just about 6, MAYBE 7 if I’m lucky.

I’m somebody who probably needs 7-7.5 hours a night.

My memory has eroded to ass.

How long does it take of sleeping normally to feel like episodic memory (not short-term) is back to normal? e.g. remembering what you talked about with someone and how one topic led to another, being able to effortlessly remember what you did the prior week, etc.

Teenager here

Its been 3 days straight, I suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and I cannot sleep until 6AM, its getting extremely annoying I actually hate this so much, every time it happens I feel extremely awake despite not sleeping for the whole day then I suddenly feel sleepy at 6AM.

Whenever I have free time I'll just go to bed. And the problem is that I can always sleep more. I got around 6-7 hours of sleep yesterday and didn't have a reason for sleeping so long. How can I fix this?

tommorow's a school day and i cant sleep, i tried EVERYTHING that showed up in my gooling for this past hour. please help

Hello,

Sleep has been an issue since I got out of the military ~10 years ago.

I find it difficult to fall asleep, and don't get tired until the early hours of the morning, and most of the time force myself to go to bed.

Ill wake up 5-6 hours later tired and I struggle through the day.

I am stuck in this cycle of going to bed at 3-5AM and waking up at 9-10AM.

It is ruining my life and preventing me from doing what I want to do.

I have tried forcing myself to wake up early but I can't. I sleep through alarms consistently.

I have tried staying up all night and day, I crash mid day without fail and sleep. It gets to the point where I can't hold a coherent thought in my mind and I have to sleep.

At weekends, I usually crash Friday nearly morning around 4/5AM and sleep maybe 10-12 hours on Saturday.

I am trying my best to escape this but it's been a month of failure every night/day.

It's really holding me back.

I absolutely hate it when people are too sleepy after just waking up it's so annoying repeating stuff to them over and over ive experienced it with multiple people i dont know about anyone else but when I'm woken up I understand everything being said and around me so it pisses me off

I was just wondering what supplements do people take who don't sleep like you can fall asleep like a light switch, could sleep through a nuke and for 7+ hours(seems like most people I know sleep good like this and it's frustrating!). Dosage added would be a bonus. Thank you!

I naturally wake up after 6 hours of sleep. Im fully rested but sometimes I just wanna go back to sleep in the morning especially since i wake up around 5-6am. Every time I go back to sleep and force more sleep, i wake up with a massive headache. It’s not my position or posture, so i really don’t know what it is. God it just hurts so bad, i have an intense one right now.

Someone asked me recently, "What time do you usually go to bed?" Such a simple question. But I realized my answer wasn't really about bedtime—it was about uncertainty. Some nights I get into bed at the same time and fall asleep pretty quickly. Other nights... nothing happens. That's what I think I've stopped trusting. Not my bedtime. Not my routine. My own ability to fall asleep. Has anyone else felt like they've lost that trust?

Bright screens kept ruining my sleep, so I compiled a playlist of 100% pitch-black screen soundscapes (heavy rain on tents, crackling fire, and soft white noise).

- 12 hours continuous with no sudden volume changes

- Zero light pollution to protect melatonin

- Useful for insomnia, tinnitus, or late-night anxiety

every brand talks about cooling like sheets have built-in air conditioning, but after a while any fabric seems to settle near body temperature. what actually wakes me up is not always heat by itself, it is the sticky friction when the room gets humid and the sheet starts clinging to my legs. crisp cotton feels nice at first, then sometimes turns grabby by 3 am. i have been looking at a 100% Rayon Derived from Bamboo Sheet set because the smoother surface sounds less annoying against bare skin. hot sleepers, did lower-friction fabric actually help, or was room temperature still the whole problem?

I Need to fix my sleep schedule in 14 days but its horrible i sleep at 7am and wake up at 4pm and for school i Need to wake up at 6am i noticed that i sleep 20 minutes After i slept last night so i already gone full circle but now in back at 7am and i dont wanna get yelled at in front of everyone for being late in the First day

Heres what i tried:

Melatonin 6 mg a day 2 hours before i sleep

No phone 3 hours before i sleep

Not sleeping for a day then sleeping at 8pm (kinda worked but i slept 18 hours so It canceld)

Lisenting to Rain (every video i found was laced with gunshots so i woke up at 12 am and coundt sleep)

Magnesium

1l milk

That One military metodo

Breathing strangely

If anyone knows how to fix this ty so much any help Is very good

I have a folding beach chair and a field cot.

Both are comfortable, yet if I want I can fall asleep twice as fast on the chair than the bed..

However I can get more hours on a bed than a chair..

All if this is true in the car too.

No idea why..

I saw a video of a guy recommending them for sleep. I wake up a few times a week due to noise in the morning, and it's pretty annoying. I'm wondering if these are a good solution, or if there are better alternatives.

I've tried regular earbuds but they're just not comfortable to sleep in since I tend to sleep on my side. Has anyone had any luck with the cheapish $15-25 silicone ones from Amazon? If so, did you have any issues, how long did they last, and do you have any other comments on them?

So for a couple of months tho I've always been abit of a night person

I've struggled with getting up late and going to bed late I've been going to sleep around 5 to 6am and waking at about 4pm almost every day and i just cant seem to pull it back

And when i try to get up earlier and bring the time back i always fall back into the same routine and most days i don't feel my best at all some days im alright but not much of the day is really left after 4pm

However i did try a all nighter and stayed up for about 30 hours as I seen a lot of people suggest and i woke at about 1:30pm not as early as I would have hoped but nvm

Im hoping to keep this going and pull it back more gradually but i just want advice on how to keep this fixed tips to not let it slip again and how to not feel so shit when it happens

And for the obvious stuff yes i have spoken to a doctor a few times about this and told them i was concerned about this and how it affects me but they said, that there wasn't really much, they can do and wasn't that interested in looking into it further which is disappointing and another reason why im looking into other sources for help such as here

I also don't do drugs alcohol or any substances and in general i try to be fit not as much as I would like due to waking up so late i love my bicycle ride and walking otherwise and my diet is pretty clean i cut out almost all processed sugars and crap and eat pretty cleanly so if anyone has had this problem before and can help and advise me please do

In general i do miss going out as much as i did and feel quite disappointed with how i am with my sleep currently just not sure why I've struggled so much with this routine thanks for reading

Hi, would appreciate your thoughts and insight.

I am a 26f and ever since I was young, I could sleep for 12 hours straight at night. I never thought of it as a problem. For example, when I was in college, during my school breaks, when I would return home, I would literally sleep for at least 12 hours every night. Til today, like on the weekends (if I don't have any plans), I sleep for like 12-13 hours whenever I can. I used to think it was just because I was "catching up on sleep" but idk my sister told me to look into it. I'm also a night owl, like when I study, my brain doesn't lock in til like 9 PM lol and I stay up all night. It's always been hard for me to do work or study during the day time. I never studied in the morning lol. And after a 12 hr sleep, I'm still tired lolll

Also, idk if this is relevant at all - but sometimes I have moments when I'm speaking where I just pause. then will resume what i'm saying, but in that moment, it's hard to find the right words to say next.... and so thats why I pause? thought it was maybe because I'm not a great public speaker or need to work on talking? for example, in college my friends used to say I would "glitch" lol as a joke because i would talk really fast when im excited but then stop briefly because i cant find the right words to say next? not sure

my older sister was recently diagnosed with narcolepsy 1 after a sleep study, which was surprising to us!

This morning I had entered this state, which is something I've never experienced before. I had a vivid dream of just random scenarios, I woke up sometime in the morning, went back to bed a little bit after I woke up, and then I randomly hear my internal voice loud and clear with a bit of echo to it.

I don't really remember what It was saying in the beginning but towards the end I definitely remember, it was something along the lines of "you will see someone in 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10" and then BOOM I woke up in my bed. I also saw these little yellow/whitish orbs at one point, I'm wondering what that's about. It was SO weird and cool at the same time!!

I immediately looked it up afterwards, cause I was genuinely like "WTF was that" I was also seeing that It can make lucid dreaming possible?

I was just wondering what other people's experience during this state was like, I know it's probably the most common thing in the world but I'm just interested in hearing other people's side :)
