Congratulations, you are now an "early riser." Enjoy the hours from 4-6 am where nothing happens and nobody bothers you (unless you have kids...)

Wish I could get 6 hours, jelly. Just got 4 and woke up

I always wake up like 3 hours early and then start to get sleepy again about 30 minutes before I'm supposed to get up for work...

Brain: Ok sure, oh btw by 'morning' you mean 3AM right?

Also Brain: Oh, you went to sleep late? Well you usually wake up at 6 am, so it’s time to wake up!

My problem is when I try to go to sleep earlier, I wake up mere hours later like my brain thinks it was supposed to be a nap instead, and then I struggle to get back to sleep.

Working 60 hours a week taught myself to only sleep about 6 hours to claw back a little personal time. Shit's fucked up.

See, what I do is intentionally sleep six hours and then, before work, have a 90 minute siesta. Seems to be working out well 👍

My people! I'm always asked if I'm a morning or night person and my answer is both.

I fell asleep accidentally at 5pm yesterday, wokeup to move to the bed and slept until work time at 4:15am

I'm currently trying an EMS-/TENS-device for getting back to sleep in the very early morning hours (the manual gave advice where to place the electrodes to support sleep). Worked surprisingly well the first nights, got back to sleep within 20 minutes and slept till alarm time (and was able to remember my dreams which is a nice extra of good sleeping).

Don't know if this is some sort of placebo effect - and honestly wouldn't care as long as I get to sleep longer.

Do some reading for an hour, hour and a half, and then lay back down. You'll most likely fall back asleep for a couple more hours of some of the most restful sleep you've ever had.

Segmented sleeping is the bomb.

I had a long day yesterday, so I went to bed an hour earlier than I usually do.

Woke up over 2 hours before my alarm this morning and couldn't fall back asleep 🤦

Six hours would be amazing.

This is so true, except it's not my brain anymore but my kittens telling me to wake up by holding a world wrestling competition on top of me until I wake up, get out of bed and feed them. So there's no room for "Ah fuck. Well, I'll just turn around for half an hour" as you're already out of bed and downstairs.

Welp, that is 100% not my adhd brain.
