Not waking up at 234 in the morning and getting a good nights rest uninterrupted?
If I wake at 2:34am, I’m late for work.
But I get OP’s point, as I’ve woken before thinking it’s almost time to get up, and see 11:00pm. Yay, back to sleep.
and waking up 5 minutes before the alarm goes off, feeling that way. just reveling in how comfortable and rested you feel… yeah, I dream of that impossible scenario too 😅
Apparently there’s basically no downside to waking up “naturally” to pee in the middle of the night as long as you get back to sleep right after. You naturally wake up in the parts of sleep where you’re almost awake anyway.
It’s not a problem if you also remain awake for another hour or so, our ancestors did that every night but then stopped because of capitalism requiring to get awake early and have a stable routine to follow the company opening hours
So, if you frequently wake at at that hour and can’t go to sleep for a while, don’5 worry, it’s natural, you should go to sleep an hour early though so you still sleep 8 hours
Staying up till 234, then going to sleep never because you miss having eight sides
Yeah except I can’t get back to sleep until like 5:30.
And then the alarm goes at 6…
Getting rid of visible clocks fixed this for me, and all the way to the bathroom and back so I can’t get the time when I go pee. I just assume it’s 12:30 and go back to bed no matter what. Unless the fucking sun is coming up around the edges, then it’s just “your bones are going to hurt today.”
Unless the fucking sun is coming up around the edges
The sun at 4am in a Danish summer be like: Surprise motherfucker.
I know a better one, easy: Not waking up at all and sleeping thru the night.
Or just not waking up at all
You’ll still sleep thru the night in that case
Waking up at 7am having slept through the entire night.
Shift started at 6am
That’s just fantasy talk
When I was younger this was true for me, but these days once I wake up I tend to stay awake, so this is the worst outcome in my case.
Came here to say this. It’s not so fun two hours later, laying in bed unable to fall back asleep.
In middle school, I set an alarm for 1-2 in the morning just to wake up and go back to sleep.
I solved this problem by simply refusing to look at the clock when I get up in the middle of the night.
Even if it means every in once in a while the alarm goes off the second I lay back down, it’s still a worthwhile tradeoff to remove the anxiety of calculating in my head how much sleep I still have left to do.
I’m the opposite because I know if I wake up at 2:30am then I won’t get back to sleep, and I have to work the next day.
If I wake up at that time it’s because I have to pee. Then it takes me 3 hours to get to sleep again because I start thinking of all the dumb shit I’ve done in my life and how I’ll probably never accomplish all my goals.
I solved part of that by not having any goals.
The trick is to achieve the perfect balance of drunk and high where you are exhausted for exactly 7 hours, but then feel ok the next morning after a few cups of coffee.
Drinking close to bed wrecks my sleep in my old age. Doesn’t mean I don’t do it, but when I wake up I’m exhausted.
I used to absolutely love this feeling until I had kids. Now if I’m waking up in the middle of the night it’s mostly because one of my kids is yelling for something. So when I wake up now during the night I pray it’s as late as possible, so I got more uninterrupted sleep. If I get woken up now and it’s only 1am, I think this could be a long night of several interruptions
we used to have a train go by at 1AM where i grew up. i miss the 1 train. the whistle would wake me, then i’d fall back asleep.
it’s funny what makes you wake up. when i first moved out of town, it was silence at 1AM.
maybe i’ll go camp out by the tamale factory one night. it’s right by the tracks. i might sleep better.
When you think you’re on your last nugget/taco/whatever but you reach in the bag and actually have two more.
i want to eat wherever it is you eat that you can discover not just one but two bonus tacos.
I used to smoke a lot of weed.
you still do, you just used to, too
Going to sleep, sleeping so good and never waking up.
Nowadays I get more pissed when the cat starts destroying the house 1h before the first alarm screams.
Uuuuh, you might want to wake up at some point.
In this economy?
No
Yeah except if I’m waking up at 234, it’s cause my kids are up and about to ruin my morning lol
Waking up rested with all the time in the world to do whatever you want.
Knowing how math actually works
The bin wagon keeps coming round at 6am on Wednesdays recently, the arseholes. Maybe someone has complained because they just got here and it’s 7am.
