Going back to bed: helpful or harmful?

[teawrecks]

It's always 50/50 for me.

some mornings I'll wake up at 5am and decide it's not worth it to put in effort so I go back to sleep for an hour.

sometimes I wake up feeling refreshed after this extra hour, and sometimes I wake up feeling extra tired.

Today im extra tired.

Makes me more tired

Makes me feel refreshed

50/50

Going back to bed does neither of those for me. Instead, it just decreases my chances of waking up to the next alarm. If I fall back asleep, there's a high chance that I will NOT get up in time to catch the bus. Besides, I get anxiety if I try to sleep in past my first alarm. I have 4 alarms, each 30 minutes apart, and I STILL worry and obsess over not having enough time.

[LaVilaine]

It depends on the day for me too, but I usually can't go back to sleep so I just lay in bed miserably.

[Nik1hil]

Someone needs cuddles to be no longer miserable

[LaVilaine]

@Nik1hil no thanks.

[Nik1hil]

I am not gonna come to cuddle you I got things with more priority to do..
I was just gonna suggest you to get a pet animal or pet boyfriend to cuddle you will feel less miserable.. Or buy a hug pillow.. Or a huge teddy bear to cuddle with..

[LaVilaine]

@Nik1hil he's at work.

[Nik1hil]

Hum!.. I need to send him a message to buy you a big teddy bear

Something like www.amazon.com/.../B00HZYMQ9W

[LaVilaine]

@Nik1hil nah

[BeerFarts]

I find that the extra hour helps so I actually wake up more refreshed. I can't function throughout the day when I'm deprived of sleep. Lol.

[teawrecks]

I mean I get adequate sleep the night prior I just love sleep so I sleep more if I can 😂

[BeerFarts]

I don't blame you. I love to get as much sleep as I can myself :)

[akadatank44]

Like you its 50/50. The thing I hate is getting up a half hour or 20 minutes before my alarm lock goes off cuz I gotta piss lol

[teawrecks]

Ugh yes

[Hollywood-Glam]

It's helpful for me. Whenever I try to wake up very early, I regeret it and go back to sleep. No matter what I go back to sleep, my body doesn't tolerate it. I feel good after having some sleep. If I don't have my alarm clock set I end up sleeping for many hours, which I'm fine with.

[mooky06]

Helpful- you get more sleep
Harmful-you over sleep

Starts work at 5am
Alarm goes off
Pressed snooze
Pressed snooze again
And again
And again
Looks at time *6am*
😱 Fuck late for work

[justbanANNAz]

me waking up at 5am is a foreign concept. I don't know how people do it. it will NOT happen unless I'm going to a camp or something really historically exciting is gonna happen.

so THAT SAID, the extra hour is always refreshing for me.

[Mustachekitteh]

I always go back to sleep after i take my ADHD medication at 7:30am. Then once I wake up again it's extremely rare if I'm able to fall back asleep after my 8:15am alarm.

[Xfitchick]

get up and go running. You will return full of energy

[teawrecks]

? No? When I wake up at 5am it's to use that hour to get ready for work.

[Xfitchick]

So when you go back to bed, you're late?

[teawrecks]

No? I said I don't put in the extra effort when I choose to go back to bed. So I just cut out all the time I spend getting ready typically and sleep instead.

Like I usually shower every morning, and some mornings I just spray in some dry shampoo and catch my z's

[EmpatheticLady]

I always give myself more sleep if I can, haha. It's very helpful to me. I don't have an issue with oversleeping really.

[luvstoned4him]

50/50 its good but it cud also be bad. Still if you are feelings tired often you may have an iron deficiency or a medical problem.

[rgb008]

Harmful.
If I ever do that, I always end up sleeping for like 5 hours more than I should haha. Just gotta get myself up otherwise I over sleep haha

[Zendrya]

I don't ever feel refreshed so I'll take the extra 2 hours

[Waffles731]

Wow, are you okay, I feel better after sleeping often

[Zendrya]

@Waffles731 probably have low iron

[Waffles731]

My mom has that problem often,
Sometimes she can't donate blood.
When that happens we always have redmeat for dinner and she makes herself some spinach

[Zendrya]

@Waffles731 I'm actually trying a vegetation diet starting today so no red meat. I can't donate blood anyway though. I don't weight enough. I should probably get blood work done to see what's wrong but I have a phobia of needles and would rather be tired.

[Waffles731]

Ah, then you might need to eat a LOT of spinach

[Waffles731]

Also might I respectfully ask why you are going vegetarian when you are lacking iron?

[Zendrya]

@Waffles731 I don't know if I am lacking iron. I'm just assuming and because I can get iron from other foods like nuts

[Waffles731]

Ah, might I ask your reasons for going vegetarian?

[Decentguy]

it makes me feel more tired, sometimes when i wake up in the morning i feel soo much tired and sleepy and when i go back to sleep i feel more tired, but a little fresh

[ChocoLada]

I'm always refreshed, and I can sleep even longer :P

[Anonymous]

I think it depends on which part of the sleep cycle you're at or something for how you feel when you wake up. But I think getting the extra sleep will make you less tired, even if you don't feel it until the evening

[ChromAzonyx108]

I've heard that if you wake up in the middle of a dream then you'll feel tired, but if you weren't dreaming then you'll feel rested.

[Melcart23]

It helps me so much. Actually, I just did it right now😝

[teawrecks]

Hate u 😭

[Melcart23]

No you dont❤️

[teawrecks]

😒😒😒

[Melcart23]

Hahahha😉

[babeeeone]

Most of the time I end up being more tired than I was the first time waking up

[Yumix]

depends on when I have to get up... if it's over an hour, then I usually try to sleep again

[Anonymous]

I always go back to bed. There's no point getting up that early for me

[Anonymous]

i'm a bit less tired and the biggest difference is even if I sleep for 1 hours or 30 min my eyes hurt a lot less

[Comawhite666]

I usually oversleep this way :(

[CHARismatic110]

Pretty much the same for me.

[HoneyButterCup525]

Go back to sleep lol

[jesusnicolas768]

I would say 50/50
