I've always wondered the same thing. Also, why is it that if I get the same amount of sleep (say 8 hours) and have to get up at 9, I don't feel tired. But, if I have to get up at 6 (still getting 8 hours), I feel like a train ran me over?
Your body has a sleep cycle time it is most comfortable with. If you would always go to sleep & wake up at the same time, what would it be? That is probably your sleep cycle.
I guess I just do better with less than normal amounts of sleep if I go to bed at 11 or 11:30 and get up at 6ish I'm fine... go to bed 10 or 10:30 get up at same time I feel tired. I sometimes take a nap when I get home for like an hour.. which I hate doing because then I feel like an old person who can't make it through the day

ReplyDeleteDon't feel bad. Naps are great when they're really needed. Other times they just make you more tired.
