#i'm not beating the sleepy allegations & they're ruining my life a little oops

[kaleirots]

dear sleepy science tumblr please tell me your thoughts

for context i consistently struggle with deep sleep (according to smart watch, dubious reliability etc) and also with waking up in general

so i wake up in the morning. i get up, eat, etc. my eyes will not stay open so after 30 minutes i go back to sleep. during that 30 mins i take stimulant medication in the naive hope that it'll wake me up. which it does, in about 2 hours too late.

but following the STIMULANT i snooze, spending 7 minutes in light sleep and go straight into 7 minutes of deep sleep from there??

also when i fall asleep initially i spend a few minutes in light sleep, spend 15-20 minutes in deep sleep and then wake up exhausted

this is consistent and idk what it means other than "get a sleep study" (which isn't possible rn whomp) but being this eepy is not easy and i'd appreciate your wisdom <3
