every night i get suddenly inspired and full of energy at like, midnight, and i procrastinate going to sleep to spend more time doing random stuff. then the next day i can’t wake up on time, loose track of time and arrive late to work or whatever it is. i know that the way to fix it is by going to sleep at a regular hour, creating a routine, etc. but i’m also procrastinating to start doing those things
Sleeping is so boring!!
Yes. This. It’s so my truth as well. Why????? Why do I get randomly (and finally) motivated to do great things at like 11pm? I get so stuck, and so hopeless. I feel defeated.
Dude this. Yes. It’s like the time between 10:00 and 2:00 are in 3x speed. Recently I have been actively trying to change my schedule because I have 8 Am classes but still end up going to sleep at 3/4 am. It is such a struggle because I know the toll it takes on my body but weirdly enough I am able to function totally fine and be productive on such low amount of sleep, it is when I then actually give my self rest when I feel absolutely horrible groggy and Zombified. I just learned that the term for it is poor sleep hygiene. I want to have more self discipline and tell myself to GTF to sleep but once that boost of energy comes i blink and it’s 5am and I need to be up in 2.5 hours. It completely screws me in the morning. I relate so hard to you and also am looking for any help on the matter! My mother calls it burning both sides of the candle lol which inevitably will make u burn out
I can feel this- trying to improve my energy levels and bed time routines with this app called „rise sleep“ - it helps a lot because energy during the day has to do a lot with collected sleep debt over the last 14 days. So monitoring when you actually slept (even naps during the day count), preferably i combination with a smart watch but it isn’t obligatory- can help to get an overview and be more mindful of time slots during the day and how to spend them best. What is really a BIG factor- food intake (time and type of food- especially carbs and sugars) I recently got myself the book by Jessie Inchauspé, about glucose metabolism, when to est what- to regulate your mood and energy levels throughout the day and to improve your general well being and health over time
