Horribly bad! My best times would be sleep from 3am to 11am and work 5pm to 1am. This is simply not possible in our society so I feel tired and unproductive my entire work life so far.

Are you, me?
I'm the same way. I feel tired in the late afternoon / early night, but then a few hours later (when most people would be going to bed), I get a second wind and feel wide awake again until the middle of the night. I feel like what I really need is a 26 hour day.
since Diablo 4 came out... terribly, lol

Depends entirely on how many critters decide to pile onto me that night. A 40 pound pup draped over you isn't conducive to getting comfortable enough to sleep.
If your sleeping 7 plus hours a night and still feeling knackered it's worth talking to a doctor and having some tests done, there's loads of reasons for feeling tired all the time.
In terms of improving sleep having a consistent sleep and wake time is super important and having a wind down routine is helpful.
If you struggle to get to sleep a good technique is to get up after 15-20 minutes (not timing but when it feels like you've been trying to sleep that long) and do something with a low thinking requirement like reading a book or watching bad TV.
Also, most modern sleep studies are now done at home. As such, itβs a Mitch less big deal to get your sleep checked out, and insurance is more likely to cover it.
Awful. I often take 1-2 hours to manage to fall asleep and I always wake up feeling absolutely fucked, usually taking at least another hour to get out of bed.
Add it all up and I usually end up wasting ~3 hours of my life every single day on sleep. I've tried pretty much anything under the sun short of nuclear options like Ambien (which I'm terrified of), nothing seems to help.
usually 5 to 6 hours a day. sometimes if I cant sleep, I'll scald some milk & drink it, seems to help a bit
Iβve had insomnia for years now, and Iβve taken trazodone and melatonin, but it was still a struggle to get tired sometimes. In January I started also taking diphenhydramine hcl, and itβs made a world of difference.
Iβm not going to cite a specific brand, but there a a bunch out there if you want to try it for yourself.
It depends. I usually sleep pretty well, but I have a bizarre tendency towards lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, false awakenings, and even "involuntary astral projection" where I have the sensation of leaving my body. I figured out that CBD and cannabis help stop this, so lately I've been free of most sleep disturbances.
I struggle keeping to a sleep schedule, to the point that I suspect I have a non-24 hour sleep wake disorder.
On some days, I may be asleep during the day, and yet on some days, I operate on a "normal" sleep cycle, only for it to be broken in a few days. Trying to do "normal person" things requires me to plan things ahead, usually through extending my wakefulness such that I'd be asleep the night before I need to be on a "normal person schedule."
However, when I do fall asleep, I'm dead to the world for a while, sometimes exceeding twelve hours. Upon waking up, even if I've only managed to sleep for a couple of hours, I find it hard to sleep for until more than eighteen hours later.
Mostly ok. Go to bed at around 22 and get up at 6:30 on weekdays. Weekends I shift it an hour. No alcohol on "school nights".
There's some revenge bedtime procrastination going on sometimes that affects my sleep schedule so I guess I could sleep a bit more
No schedule possible, always tired.
Same problem, no matter how much I sleep, I'm always tired
That's a huge reason to see a doctor. So many things can cause that, and it's best not to ignore it
Does sleep apnea or weight problems run in your family? I would wake up tired and sore every day until I got a CPAP. Now I wake up feeling so much better!
I don't know
You might see if you can get to a sleep specialist or talk to your PCP to get tested. It was a complete game changer for me even though it took me about 6 months to get used to the machine
I'm a good sleeper. Always have been. Once I'm up I'm up. Once in a while I'll wake up unnecessarily early but it doesn't happen too much lately.
You could throw me in a ditch and I'd sleep.
I just bought my first mattress, cause apparently I'm a real adult now. It def helps.
If my cat is snugged cross my neck I sleep even better.
Ah man I'm jealous. I sleep like garbage and my cat has to sleep above my head to avoid being battered while I toss and turn
Oh I toss and turn, but I'm asleep. Im sure a sleep therapist would mark that down, but i dont feel tired. My s.o. always makes fun of me cause ill wake up, pillow case completely off, dreaming some wild ass dream probly. I used to get sleep paralysis pretty often but that died down when I got my shit together a little bit.
Overall I am a good sleeper and I probably take it for granted..
