My husband wakes up routinely at about 4:30 on weekdays - he’s an early bird, like his father was.

He has coffee, works out with weights, eats breakfast, takes a shower, and finally goes to work.

I couldn’t do it - I’ve always been a night owl; but it makes him happy and healthy.

One study showed ANY light will disturb your sleep, so of course government requires smoke detectors WITH A LIGHT that you can’t turn off in every bedroom in America.

BIPOC are more likely to experience shorter sleep duration, less deep sleep, inconsistent sleep timing, and lower sleep continuity.

According to a 2022 JAMA Network study on racial and ethnic disparities in sleep duration, having a healthy relationship with sleep is more difficult for people who face systematic racism.

Oh, FFS.

Those who prepared that study were obviously never OTR truck drivers.

Or maybe they shouldn’t be hanging with the homies at “da club” until dawn.

[Blue Collar Christian]

Yeah. Go to bed earlier.

Stop watching TV. Not only will your sleep and everyday activities be improved, but it will be very easy to wake up and be active at any time of the day. Try it and see. #KillYourTV

Read all that and you’ll fall asleep right away.

The oppression. It's bothered me all of my life:

Lots of great suggestions. I have to deal with 7 dogs that are sometimes restless. My wife is a type 1 diabetic. Even with a continuous glucose monitor and insulin, she has problems with her glucose levels dropping to seriously low levels that set off a noisy alarm. She wakes up. I wake up. The dogs wake up. After acquiring some glucose, we try to settle down again. Recently, her doctor added "ozempic" to her routine. It has the effect of delaying digestion and dumping of the stomach contents. Last night as her glucose hit a low alarm, she ate a couple cookies. It didn't help. The ozempic is keeping that rescue dose of glucose from dumping to fix the problem. The net effect was extremely poor sleep for both of us. Tonight it is "early to bed" so her 5:45 AM alarm on a Sunday morning gets her up for a 7 AM 12 hour shift. Will it be a good night of sleep? It's a crap shoot every night of late.

What a triumph of banality and woke stupidity.

I wake up early and spend 30 minutes to an 1 or more usually reading then I go back to sleep. If I do not get my 8 hours I will make up for it later that day or some other day by sleeping late.
