Does anyone else do this?

Sometimes when I'm really really tired I go to take a nap, close my eyes and when i wake up its like 2 hours later but I either feel like I didn't actually sleep or I felt like i just rested for 20 minutes.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yeah naps shouldn't be longer than 20 minutes because you'll end up going into REM sleep and not completing the cycle which messes with your circadian rhythm and makes you feel groggy like that

Well i never feel groggy but i literally feel like i closed my eyes for one minute and then opening them a minute later. Kinda like blinking

I don't take naps so I wouldn't know :x but I've slept for like 5 hours and it felt like a week.. I like those deep kind of sleeps

oh this happens when i sleep too. I got to bed at like 11 and wake bake up at 7 literally feeling like I got no sleep at all.

and it take me a whole 20 minutes to fall asleep

Quote from dummi

now thats rough

yeah by the time i get into the sleep zone, my alarm goes off and wakes me up

Quote from dummi

Then put an alarm for after 40 minutes, that way you have 20 min to fall asleep and 20 min to nap. Try that

I'll try that

thanks

Not usually. Maybe sometimes but usually I feel really drowsy when I sleep. But I do know what you mean, sometimes I wake up from naps and it's like no time has passed. Maybe time feels a lot shorter, even if the sun goes down.

Also, I have a feeling this was inspired by our chat earlier

yes it was

Do you know this when you go to bed at 4pm, wake up agt 7pm and think its 7am?

yes that is the most disorienting thing ever. and very annoying

Quote from JiminieKookie

Especially when it's sunset and you ask yourself "Did I slept so long that we allready got sunrise?"

Yes and when it would happen during actual school, i would be like "Oh shit i'm late" of course only to realise its 7pm not am

Quote from briarlee

Btw do you ever wake up every hour of the night? I have some days like that It's really annoying

almost everyday, it is truly annoying, especially since i have to go to school in the morning.
