8 hours of uninterrupted sleep is a myth. I used to think I was an insomniac because I would wake up in the middle of the night. Until I accepted it as normal, refused to get angry about it. I’ve been sleeping peacefully ever since.
I usually sleep in three shifts, not two. It's more natural for me.
At this point: just like facial features and body-shape, I have the inkling that sleeping-patterns are no-different— as in, they're all different. Fighting our natural sleeping patterns is what makes us cranky. You just gotta learn to work around it. Personally, I simply need to take a nap as soon as I get home from work. Then I'm good 'till the wee hours of the morning. Have a good six-to-seven-hour sleep, and go to work.
When I was doing meth I used to sleep twice a week
Only time I sleep more than 4-6hrs is when I'm sick. My husband dutifully writes down his sleep times. I never worry about it. This is just the medical community 8 hrs of sleep, 8 glasses of water.....
Glad to hear you say that, I'm exactly the same way. Six hours, rare, is 'heaven.' But I can function on five.
No choice, no matter how I try.
I can sleep for 9 hours on occasion that anyone lets me.
You likely wake because of cortisone which neutralizes the sleep hormone melatonin.
Most common cause of this is eating or drinking carbs in the evening.
In short your diet makes you need to eat every few hours
Last meal at six pm.. No more drinks either
Take melatonin Take high dose vit d3
Try that out
In a good bed I can sleep 8-9 hours, like 5 star hotel type stuff.
In my fucking home bed I always wake up halfway.
