You will often wake up feeling more refreshed." "Waking from those stages can lead to the grogginess and irritability. "The longer you sleep, the higher the chance you get into deeper stages of sleep," she says. Dawn Dore-Stites, an assistant professor in the Department of Pediatrics and Sleep Disorder Center at Michigan Medicine and Reverie sleep advisory board member, told CNET that the longer the nap, the more problems it typically creates. I'm not sure it if it makes sense to say that I was solving the math problems in my sleep I think it's more correct to say I woke up, solved it, and then fell back asleep and forgot the experience because I fell asleep quickly enough.A good nap is all about timing. I even switched to a phone alarm clock app where I had to solve simple arithmetic problems in order to snooze or disable the alarm, and I had the same experience. I remember many times waking up at my alarm starting to go off at 9:30am (or some other round ten minute interval time after 9am) even though I scheduled it at 9am I must have snoozed it several times and fell back to sleep quickly enough to forget the experience. I believe I could hit the button in my sleep, or wake up just enough to hit it and then fall back asleep fast enough to forget the experience. I used to have an alarm clock very close to my bed, and I would be able to turn it off or hit the snooze button very quickly after it went off without getting up. You just think that you unusually woke up right before the alarm, without remembering the many other times you woke up in the morning not immediately before the alarm. However, if you half-wake-up right before the alarm, then the alarm interrupts you before you get the chance to fall back asleep and forget the experience.
Being able to arbitrarily set a time sounds either superhuman or like there’s no truly deep sleep occurring.īesides the overlooked possibility that people are just better at waking up at specific times than is generally expected (which I think is true and probably explains most cases, but maybe not all), there's another explanation the author didn't consider: it's possible that people frequently half-wake-up, and then fall back asleep and forget the experience. If someone walks by or there’s a noise at some point during that period, it’s basically me just groggily sitting around for half an hour and then my memory of it all fades a bit after the break finishes and I forget I was basically awake the whole time.Īdapting to a schedule and waking up at the right time is one thing. If I can get at least 20 uninterrupted minutes, I basically blink and wake up rested. I realized how I did it after I started taking naps at work. But I’ve come to realize that it’s not some super human time keeping ability-I’m basically staying up all night, not actually sleeping, anticipating the time I need to get up, and my mind just forgets all but the past few minutes. I can manage to do something like this within a 10-30 minute range where I’m lying in bed kind of half awake until I decide to just get up, or my alarm goes off and I hit it instantly and I’m ready to go.

Wake me up at 5 30 plus#
I’m not as good at it awake as I am asleep - I only manage ten minute accuracy.Īnother plus is that you don’t get sleep inertia like you do when woken by something suddenly, and instead wake up, well, awake. I have absolutely no idea how this unconscious dead reckoning of time works, but it does. If I don’t set a constraint, I sleep on until I “naturally” wake up. I can decide to have a 15 minute nap and it’s exactly that. To this day, I have zero need for an alarm clock - I just pick the time I want to wake at, and I do, within a minute. Eighth was the perfect place in line, as that was how many shower heads there were. So, you just trained yourself to wake on time, at 0657 or whatever time shortly before 0700 you thought wise - after all, you didn’t want to be early, as then you’d just stand in a freezing corridor, and you’d have wasted precious minutes of sleep. You couldn’t have an audible alarm, as you’d wake others and then you’d have competition. The art was to wake up five minutes before the bell, so you could be first in line for the showers and get hot water, and then to breakfast before they ran out of the good choice.
