    If your sleeping 7 plus hours a night and still feeling knackered it’s worth talking to a doctor and having some tests done, there’s loads of reasons for feeling tired all the time.

    In terms of improving sleep having a consistent sleep and wake time is super important and having a wind down routine is helpful.

    If you struggle to get to sleep a good technique is to get up after 15-20 minutes (not timing but when it feels like you’ve been trying to sleep that long) and do something with a low thinking requirement like reading a book or watching bad TV.

    According to my smartwatch’s app, around 7:30 hours on weekdays and 8:15 hours on weekends.

    I don’t wake up tired often, only when I sleep <6 hours for two nights in a row.

    Mostly ok. Go to bed at around 22 and get up at 6:30 on weekdays. Weekends I shift it an hour. No alcohol on “school nights”.

    There’s some revenge bedtime procrastination going on sometimes that affects my sleep schedule so I guess I could sleep a bit more

    Pretty good, actually. I use a sleep timer that calculates a wake up time in 90 minute increments, which matches most people’s sleep cycles.

    This ensures that I’m waking up at a time when my sleep is the lightest.

    Awful. I often take 1-2 hours to manage to fall asleep and I always wake up feeling absolutely fucked, usually taking at least another hour to get out of bed.

    Add it all up and I usually end up wasting ~3 hours of my life every single day on sleep. I’ve tried pretty much anything under the sun short of nuclear options like Ambien (which I’m terrified of), nothing seems to help.

    It depends. I usually sleep pretty well, but I have a bizarre tendency towards lucid dreams, sleep paralysis, false awakenings, and even “involuntary astral projection” where I have the sensation of leaving my body. I figured out that CBD and cannabis help stop this, so lately I’ve been free of most sleep disturbances.

    Horribly bad! My best times would be sleep from 3am to 11am and work 5pm to 1am. This is simply not possible in our society so I feel tired and unproductive my entire work life so far.
