Life pros have no trouble getting back to sleep after looking at the clock

Oh fuck ya I hear this. I am so nervous that it’s literally 5 min away or something.

Natural clock confused with bad sleep.
I often wake up just before the clock.
If its 5 hrs or 5 minutes to go my brain may just fully wake up anyways.
Verify. You might get lucky with an extra few hours, in a way.

Agree….I have a clock turned away from the bed.

Why do you assume it's going off soon? Just go back to sleep and let it happen when it's going to happen whether that's in 5 minutes or 5 hours.

That's the point, just let it go and let your alarm wake you up when it's time, whether it's 1 minute or 1 hour. I practice this and can say it has considerably increased my amount of sleep and decreased the amount of restless tossing and turning I do in anticipation of the alarm going off. To the guy saying they can decide whether to just doze off or go to a deep sleep depending on the time left is crazy. Sometimes 5 or 10 minutes of a deep sleep can be as good feeling as a few hours throughout the night.

Great tip… I’ll add that if weather permits roll down you windows for a bit of that drive to help with hearing any type of noises your cabin may be muffling.

Try talking with your doctor about lithium orotate supplementation. Some studies have shown that low dose trace element supplementation of lithium (naturally found on our environment) can help even out folks who feel they have some emotionality issues. You need doctor supervision however.
If its worse than that, chat about further evaluation and treatment.

Agreed…embrace it! I’ve been told I’m an Empath and feel the emotions of others. Not sure that’s it but a sappy song on a commercial can bring tears to my eyes when it has animals in it. Heck even an office meeting can be depending on the topic. Looking at someone with teary eyes gets me going. I’ve tried to find something to count. Flowers in a shirt, lines in the wallpaper. Anything to distract me and refocus when my emotions are out of control. Good luck! It’s a challenge most of the time but I’d rather be emotional and happy than a stone cold face b3”!@. 😜

Not true at all. Sometimes I feel like I’ve slept forever and feel and check and it’s only 2, I get excited to go back to bed. But also if it’s 5 something, I just wake up, cuz going back to sleep for 45 min sucks

With Banggood, the meta is to look at 5 star reviews that are negative in what they say.
5 stars: this is a piece of shit that only charged once.

Worst advice in this thread. There is nothing wrong with being sensitive, but nobody wants to deal with someone crying during a time of crisis. Managing ur emotions is an important trait to have in the adult world.

Botox. Nicole Kidman couldn’t act for like 10 years after getting some because she stopped being able to emotionally connect. Lose the ability to move the muscles, lose the emotions.

True. I still remember when I was shopping for a mousepad this dude literally had a review updated for like 3 years. Ngl one the best things I've ever read and one of the reasons I bought the product.

There are tracking apps for each of these hobbies.

Learn to address ur emotions as they come up and not express them, like "I feel like I'm getting sad". Acknowledge them and then move on from it. There's nothing wrong with crying, but there is time and place for it. You have to learn to compartmentalize ur feelings and address them later when the time is right.

Came here to say this. Recently discovered Notion. Super cool app with a lot of power. It's an improvement over regular notes. I use it for all kinds of things
