What happens if you don’t have an alarm?
Comment on When you wake up, how long does it take for your brain's "OS" to "resume from hibernation"?
cRazi_man@europe.pub 4 months agoWhen I wake up, I know who I am and where I and there’s no disorientation; but I cannot get myself out of bed for half an hour. I feel like I’ve been given tranquilizer medication. Need to keep hitting snooze on the alarm. I resent this because I could have slept an extra half hour if I could only wake up and go… But I must go through this snoozing drama every morning. No matter how much sleep I get, my brain cannot be functional enough to get out of bed for that first half hour. After that I’m good to go and firing on all thrusters.

I wake up naturally, but still doped up. Almost always exactly half an hour, then it feels like the light comes on.

Find an app for your phone/watch that wakes you up at the end of your sleep cycles. When you’re in deep sleep you tend to be pretty still, but when you’re at the end of a sleep cycle is when you typically move around a night. There’s apps that will wake you up when it’s almost your alarm time, but you’re moving around.
Also try to maintain a consistent sleep schedule. Eventually you can kinda figure out your own sleep cycles and try to work with them instead of against them.

This isn’t something I think about/worked on, sorry. Not remotely consistent either with when I sleep, personal life and shift work.
Earplugs every time I sleep. Sleep mask when the sun will be out.
