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.

    My nurses always complement me for using it 99% of the time. I can’t understand why someone would not use it.

      I think for some folks there’s something primal going on, a feeling of being trapped when things are over their faces that they can’t shake. It seems like something deep-seated and unconscious, really hard to get past. I get that way if I can’t freely move my arms and legs while sleeping, but the face has never been so bad.

      I wish I knew some advice I could give that would help people struggling but whenever food, sex, or sleep is involved, we’re still weird fleshy worm tubes twitching our way through a hostile world.
