So I'm noticing my sleeping patterns are funky, so I've begun to use the bedtime thing built in to the iPhone under clock to track when I fall asleep and when I wake up.

Last night I fell asleep around 2am ish and I woke up at 7ish which is consistent with what my phone says. So 5 hours of sleep. Like wtf the body needs like 7 a night and here I am naturally waking up 2 hours before my alarm. What's crazy is this isn't a once in a while thing, this is happening every single night. I don't think I ever get more than 6-7 hours of sleep a night.

Is my body sabotaging my gains without me even trying or is something wrong with me? I feel perfectly fine on 5 hours of sleep....

Not everyone is wired the same. I have been getting around 6 hours for the last 15+ years and when I get 8+ I am groggy and unmotivated. I however, know people that absolutely cannot function unless they get 8-9, which I would hate. I know how important sleep is, but I have always felt like I am wasting time laying in bed. I'd rather get 4-5 hours and take a 15-20 minute afternoon power nap.

I haven't used an alarm in 20 years. 5:30-6am is clockwork wake up time.

It's just weird cause I go to bed so late and I wake up earlier than I want too. I could have had 7 hours of sleep but my body was just like nah get your ass up

Are you going through any stressful events currently? I know when I went through some hard times, I was down to about 3-4 hours a night.

No I've never used anything, always afraid of over sleeping or waking up groggy
Take 1/2 teaspoon of benadryl 20 minutes before bed. You won't be groggy. Even a full teaspoon wouldn't have you groggy but would help you fall asleep. Melatonin would help staying asleep. bighulksmash's cuddling really helps.

I wouldn't worry about it ChocolateClen. If you're fine on 5 hours, then you're good. Not everybody needs 8 hours of sleep every night. Now if bighulksmash punches your donut, then you might have problems

Aight I forced myself in to bed at 2300 last night and it was awful. I got 5 and 1/2 hours of sleep then I woke up at 4 am and just laid there for an hour before I finally went back to sleep for another hour. Woke up again then went back to sleep like 2 more times after that. Got 8 1/2 hours of sleep but damn it was awful. Worst night of sleeping by far
