    I have once (1) woken up feeling completely refreshd and ready for the day without any chemical assistance and I still feel revolted thinking that that’s normal for some people.

      That’s me every day. Sleep like a baby every night.

      As a bonus, I have a bizarre talent of being able to wake up exactly when I need to. I always wake up before my alarm, even when I set it for earlier than usual.

        I had that for one summer. Consistently waking 10 minutes before my alarm. So consistently that I stopped bothering to even set an alarm.

        It was great, right up until the clocks went back and I was left waking up over an hour before I needed to.

        Weirdly, the only way I found to break the cycle was to start setting an alarm.

        Sometimes you really do just have narcolepsy or another incurable “your sleep is fucked” disorder though. So don’t feel like it’s a personal failing if every doctor you speak to shrugs and tells you to just deal with it

      I get that every time I go to bed at around 5-7 AM and wake up 5-8 hours later. Try it

      But also

      Get tested for sleep apnea, that makes you feel more tired after sleeping

      I only get that after a night of binge drinking. So for better or for worse, like maybe twice a year. But that’s definitely chemical assistance lol
