I usually fall asleep around 22:30-23 and have to wake up around 6 for school. I’m a night person so I can’t really get to sleep before that. Also, the sound of my alarm is physically painful so I tend to be half-awake a while before it in anxious anticipation. High schoolers (I’m USian) need more sleep than most people, so I feel miserable on less than nine hours and deteriorate throughout the week. Idk how some people do it on even less sleep. My head buzzes and I can’t focus most of the time during the school day. On weekends I used to get 11-12 hours to make up for my sleep debt, but I haven’t been able to since daylight savings time. I can now barely get ten hours a lot of the time, leaving me tired enough to have a strong tendency to go on social media without much energy for else.
Any advice? I can provide more information if necessary.
I empathize with the alarm anxiety, if I’m in enough of a routine, I’ll wake up 10 or so minutes before it naturally because I think my body is anticipating it. I’ve ruined a few songs I used to enjoy by making them my alarm as well
While it doesn’t help much with the tired feeling over the course of the day, I do feel better in the morning if I’m able to get up relatively soon after I’m awake. Obviously easier said than done; until recently I had success drinking with water before bed that I’d wake up and have to go to the bathroom. Now I’ve been getting sore from laying in bed on my phone in awkward positions, so I just have to get up. One of the only perks of getting older I guess
