Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" doesn't feel good and isn't satisfying? - eviltoast

It’s like can’t win. Its been like this my entire life. I currently have don’t have problems getting to sleep but it’s waking up that’s bullshit.

    I set my thermostat schedule to help with that. It doesn’t work too well in the summer due to weak ac, but the heat works great in the other 3 seasons. I let it drop to about 65 around 11pm, raise to 72 around 8am, drop to 68 at 9am if I’m home or lower for work days.

      +1, I have our thermostat kick down an extra degree at night to tell our bodies that it’s sleeping o’clock. It makes. A huge difference in the quality of sleep I get.

      A warm shower or bath followed by cooling tricks your body into going into its sleep cycle and producing melatonin.
