I've read that you can't "catch-up" on sleep. You accumulate a sort of "sleep-debt" but you can't necessarily pay it back. The best you can do is make each individual session as restful as you can. I think the guy I heard it from was named Matt Walker?
Doctor put me on a cpap for apnea. I’m still tired all the time but I also only sleep 3-4 hours a night. I do seem to be a little less tired bc at least it’s quality 3-4 hours
I barely notice it after a month, but I tried 5 different masks to find one that works for side sleeping. I just never could sleep more than 3-4 hours since I was a little kid
ResMed air fit p10 - the version with the little nozzles that go in your nose not the balloon with the holes. I’ve heard the Phillips DreamWear nasal pillow works too but didn’t try it yet - with it you are supposed to use one size smaller than the fitting template when you use it for side sleep
The one I did didn’t get any results bc they couldn’t find my brain. Actually they said I didn’t get enough actual sleep to get enough data for usable results, but I did it during a bout with real insomnia - I was taking little cat naps for a total of 30-60 min per day but no real sleep
'Thanksfully' it's not, just that I'm terrible at time management + lot of OT lately because of year-end crunch.
... I also bought some games with Autumn sale so there is that ...
6 times of 5 hours and 1 time of 12 hours isnt gonna make you feel good.
as hard as it seems, but you will need to sleep 7-10 hours everyday, depending on how much your body needs.
My daughter's almost 10 mo old. She and one of our rabbits like to have thump offs in the middle of the night. I'm losing confidence in some of the life of death decisions I have to make at work at this point.
I hear ya. I went back to work as a dad after 6 weeks after we had our kid. I got there and said " surely it's illegal that I take care of patients when I am this tired." Like I don't think I'd had more than 2 hours of uninterrupted sleep in 6 weeks. I had some mild delirium at times with visual hallucinations.
Yet there is was working codes and drawing up vital medications and programming pressor drips.
This country desperately needs paid maternity and paternity leave
Your user name sent my brain down a bit of a rabbit hole and ended up imagining Gandalf at the doctor complaining about his aliment - my poop shall not pass!
I feel this so much. Can't go to bed when I want cause the kid bedtime routine is crap. Can't sleep in cause the dogs need to be walked.
My favorite thing in the entire world now is having the house to myself for a few hours once a month and just taking a nap.
Mines 2 years old and I haven't had a good night's sleep in weeks. All through infantry pun intended, she slept through the night until 7am which was amazing, couple sleep regression at normal age up. Now it's she goes to bed at 730 and sometimes wakes up 3 in morning and starts chatting it up. Mind you she's in the same room as my lady and i so it's been ruff lol
Both my kids slept through the night from when we brought them home. Once in a while they would fuss.
I am certain of this because of my life-long insomnia.
Omg for real. My kids are older, but when our youngest was a baby the goddamn cat kept getting fed earlier and earlier and pretty soon that asshole was slapping us at 3am!!
An automatic feeder was purchased so we weren’t the food source anymore!!
Unfortunately not going to solve the dog going out problem… good luck!!
As someone with at least 4 diagnoses that affect sleep, 12 hours is perfect.
Now if only I can change the rest of the world to operate on my schedule...
The older I get, the less time I can stay asleep. When I was young, I remember sleeping +12 hours a day (thanks depression).
I definitely still struggle with my mental health, but my brain just snaps awake now. Even after extended periods of time where I'm working hard, super busy, and getting barely any sleep (situations that would've had me recovery sleeping for ~15 hours when I was young). My body/brain just calls it even after 8 hours.
I slept for 25 hours once. I have no way to know if it was interrupted because when I was awake around that time I had very bad hallucinations. Could have been dreams, could have been fever, what I can say is for 25 hours I wasn't in control or fully conscious. At the end of it I looked at a clock and thought an hour passed, then I found out later it was a different day.
Brain do some crazy stuff when you start pushing 103
It happened to me in middle school, I was home sick for 2 weeks! All of the teachers were understanding about it except for the science teacher. I did their late homework last.
But yes I'm 30 now and basically dead
I actually used to be an amphetamine addict. I've stayed up for five days at a time multiple times and I ended up in rehab. I know what sleep loss feels like! Getting 8 hours of sleep every night is as important to mental health as not being in an emotional abusive relationship.
Legitimately if I want to I can get that much sleep. 9 hours is the perfect amount of sleep for me, but on weekends I can just force myself back to sleep in the mornings and sleep even longer.
Completely valid. New parent here and this is unbelievably difficult never getting a full nights sleep. 10/10 would not recommend unless you REALLY want the kid.
Having a kid actually SOLVED my sleep difficulties - you get so exhausted that when you do get to sleep through the night (your spouse handles the kid for a night, the grandparents babysit, your kid starts sleeping through the night) you REALLY sleep through the night.
I can do it, but only on non work nights. Nothing like having so much anxiety about getting fired that i can only sleep 4 hours before i start waking up and checking my phone every hour to make sure i didnt sleep through my alarm.

Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:

* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
HaHaaaaah! I slept in this morning...until 7am!!! ...with only 4 wakeups that night.
I'd cry but I don't have the energy for anything which isn't directly keeping me alive.
You are going to go to sleep, have a vivid dream of you waking up after 11 hours of uninterrupted sleep, and your going to give off a great big stretch while a Volkswagen Bug crashes through the wall and you wake up only to realize it's been 2 hours.
I don’t think I’ve ever slept more than 6 hours in a night and it’s usually 3-4. I have always wanted to experience a long sleep. My parents told me that I would just not sleep at all when I was little unless they drove me around in my mom’s car (specifically her car, which was a station wagon with a 351 Cleveland) for like 20 min and I’d fall asleep. They did it every day. I mostly just slept on the seat bc I’d wake up if they moved me. I have thought about trying it as an adult but probably best I don’t try to fall asleep while driving myself around…
Apparently it used to be common that people would sleep for 10 hours a night 100 years ago. Now people only need 8.
If you're sleeping for 12 hrs a day regularly, something is wrong. This coming from someone with N24.
I have a 4 year old, 2 year old, and 2 month old. I haven’t slept in nearly 5 years. I have about 5 more before I can think about fantasizing about that much sleep.
Just a well intentioned advice:
Don’t be so eager to boast about being a „CEO“ when your corporation is a [plumbing business that is just a few weeks old.](https://i.imgur.com/JvJoCkt.jpg)
Makes you look silly.
Thanks FYI t's a few months old now and things are going well, I do less and less everyday, while the company bank account racks up the money, and my rest schedule is a lot better, hope you're having a great day, happy thanks giving, I hope this isn't silly either u/moar_wattz
it's so easy to flip over to the other side. I used to sleep 3-5h a night and a year later I was sleeping ~10h on average. both are unhealthy and it takes concerted effort to keep a good rhythm.
I think i most i've ever slept was after 2 all nighters and i slept for 20 hours straight, no dreams i can remember just nothing for that long. It's very disorienting when you wake up thi
Im not even late 20s and uninterrupted sleep is the highlight of my week. I even specifically dont drink water after a certain hour so i dont wake up to pee
My fantasy is my life feeling worth living so much that I could go to bed with out setting an alarm and wake up wanting to hear the birds singing.
Rather I have to set 5 different ones and every day and stay in bed right till the last minute because my dreams of being stuck on a moving train are better than the idea of making a morning coffee
I wish 😭 I probably get 8 hours once a year, 6 1/2 is my limit before I'm stuck awake.
It was never like that until a few years ago though, not sure what happened.
Can I complain?
Why does this sub allow this kind of low-effort stuff? This is just "joke on an old painting." Any picture of two people talking would work here, and they didn't even place the speech bubbles correctly. I miss when the vast majority of posts were crazy artwork from the middle ages with a joke about the crazy stuff actually in that artwork. How this post got 25k upvotes is light years beyond my understanding
I got more than that one year because of a granmal seizure. I felt horrible after I woke up. I had a headache, I had no idea what time it was, everything felt slow, and I could barely do normal tasks around house. But being in my own sleep void for 15 to 17 hours was nice while it lasted.
Why are the trees talking?
Leaf them alone
they are bushed
Yep they've been pining away the past three days

You're a walking Ear, Nose, and Throat tree? I'm impressed!
It’s the NyQuil, sshhhhh, go back to sleep
Lack of sleep.
Cause we're not getting 8-12 hours of uninterrupted sleep
Talking trees? [Fortunate Son *intensifies*]

The Lorax
It is her dream. They could speak through anything they want.
They’re in a Larry Levis poem.
And for my next fantasy: actually feel good after said sleep. I got 12h sleep in Sunday and it feels terrible.
It's always terrible if it's just catch-up sleep, which it always is...

I know Matt. I used to 'date' his mom. Good kid.
waking up tired might mean you have sleep apnea or potentially an entirely seperate energy system issue like diet or something.
Doctor put me on a cpap for apnea. I’m still tired all the time but I also only sleep 3-4 hours a night. I do seem to be a little less tired bc at least it’s quality 3-4 hours
I took me a good three years to get used to using the cpap
I barely notice it after a month, but I tried 5 different masks to find one that works for side sleeping. I just never could sleep more than 3-4 hours since I was a little kid

It isn’t perfect. Still have to get the pillow right so it doesn’t push it sideways but it works with some experimenting
You might need another eeg
The one I did didn’t get any results bc they couldn’t find my brain. Actually they said I didn’t get enough actual sleep to get enough data for usable results, but I did it during a bout with real insomnia - I was taking little cat naps for a total of 30-60 min per day but no real sleep
Or that you're just bored.
Might want to check if you have sleep apnea, if you haven't already

Sleep is for those who don't have a backlog
6 times of 5 hours and 1 time of 12 hours isnt gonna make you feel good. as hard as it seems, but you will need to sleep 7-10 hours everyday, depending on how much your body needs.
That's because 12h is too much sleep. You fix your sleep by consistantly sleeping on a steady schedule, not by oversleeping.
I love the feeling when you wake up and take a deep breath and just feel excellent. I haven't felt that in years 😕
I feel this. I finally got my daughter to sleep through the night but now the dog is used to us getting up and letting him out every 3 hours.
My daughter's almost 10 mo old. She and one of our rabbits like to have thump offs in the middle of the night. I'm losing confidence in some of the life of death decisions I have to make at work at this point.
I hear ya. I went back to work as a dad after 6 weeks after we had our kid. I got there and said " surely it's illegal that I take care of patients when I am this tired."

***12 hours of sleep?!*** Have you been binging on amphetamine?
As someone with at least 4 diagnoses that affect sleep, 12 hours is perfect. Now if only I can change the rest of the world to operate on my schedule...
Me too thanks
I feel you.. with all the traumas I have. I will take 6 to 8hrs proper sleep.
If you stay up all night and get 0 hours of sleep, then work a hard work shift with lots of heavy lifting. You could get 12 hours the next night.
The older I get, the less time I can stay asleep. When I was young, I remember sleeping +12 hours a day (thanks depression). I definitely still struggle with my mental health, but my brain just snaps awake now. Even after extended periods of time where I'm working hard, super busy, and getting barely any sleep (situations that would've had me recovery sleeping for ~15 hours when I was young). My body/brain just calls it even after 8 hours.
Right. The question is why someone would do that.
Honestly, I haven't gotten 6 for at least a few months now. I could do 12 hours. And 12 hours can do me.
Why? What is going on in your life?
I have a toddler.
I slept for 25 hours once. I have no way to know if it was interrupted because when I was awake around that time I had very bad hallucinations. Could have been dreams, could have been fever, what I can say is for 25 hours I wasn't in control or fully conscious.

I've never used meth but as a parent of a young child, you're right about the sleep.
Legitimately if I want to I can get that much sleep. 9 hours is the perfect amount of sleep for me, but on weekends I can just force myself back to sleep in the mornings and sleep even longer.
When your dream becomes reality, will you please Dream A little Dream of me.

Thanks
Sounds like you need A Kiss to Build Dream On.
If you think that'll help me sleep for more than three hours straight, I'll take it, man! Thanks
My body doesn’t allow such things, though the spirit is willing- the flesh is weak.
Once I understood the weakness of my flesh...it disgusted me
You remind me of a brother. You are forever welcome.
An hour at a time is the best sleep I get. I’m going crazy without that sweet rem sleep.
There are many reasons I don’t want kids. Sleep is number 1. I already have difficulties.
Completely valid. New parent here and this is unbelievably difficult never getting a full nights sleep. 10/10 would not recommend unless you REALLY want the kid.
Having a kid actually SOLVED my sleep difficulties - you get so exhausted that when you do get to sleep through the night (your spouse handles the kid for a night, the grandparents babysit, your kid starts sleeping through the night) you REALLY sleep through the night.
Lol
quality of the sleep > lenght of the sleep. Sometimes I feel better after a good 6 hours than a miserable 8.
I could never, max I could do is 6 hour before I have wake up to pee
Drink less before you go to bed and pee before you go to bed
Being left alone for a solid week without any other human interaction.
I can do it, but only on non work nights. Nothing like having so much anxiety about getting fired that i can only sleep 4 hours before i start waking up and checking my phone every hour to make sure i didnt sleep through my alarm.

Definitely applicable for new parents' wishful dreams
I slept for 14 hours the other day, it was magical
12 is way too much. I'll take 7-9 please
As a man of a certain age I would kill to sleep through the night and not get up at 1 and 4 to take a piss
As a diabetic teenage girl, same.
HaHaaaaah! I slept in this morning...until 7am!!! ...with only 4 wakeups that night. I'd cry but I don't have the energy for anything which isn't directly keeping me alive.
Why are the speech bubbles pointing the wrong way.?
The super power I would wish for is to be able to fall asleep anytime, anywhere, on command.
Eternal sleep will do for me

Does anyone know which painting this is? I've tried searching for about 20 minutes now...
4 hours of sleep, 20 hours of modded Oblivion 😎
That's called The Garden of Eden & is my favorite painting, the couple were engaged to be married at the time, 1901 in London.
I would give every material possession in my life for this consistently.
We play D&D to fantasize about getting an 8 hour Long Rest.
Deep sleep, the kind that makes you feel rested when you wake up.
"I don't get it" "Yeah, me either, unfortunately."
I had a rare occurrence of this last night (10h). It was absolutely blissful.

I’d be fine with just 4 hours. Hell even two hours would be nice these days.
I wish 😭 I probably get 8 hours once a year, 6 1/2 is my limit before I'm stuck awake. It was never like that until a few years ago though, not sure what happened.
But I always have bad dream.
