Get Better Sleep And Find Natural Remedies To Cure Insomnia
After school, I usually take a nap for about 2-3 hours and can’t fall asleep until about 12-1 in the morning. Every day when I get up to go to school I feel tired and overwhelmed throughout the day. On my weekends, I also spend my free time taking naps in the afternoon. Is this a sleep disorder or are my sleeping habit just off balance?
When I’m pulling an all-nighter before an exam, will I perform better if I just stay up all night or sleep for the 3 hours of free time I have left over?
Ive been reading a few different websites and studies concerning Sleep cycles, now im not talking about rem sleep and definitive bio talk about sleep but simple ratios.
Lets take me as an example
I sleep roughly about 7-9 hours
And I have about 15 hours that I’m active ( from the moment I open my eyes in the morning till i close em at night)
I’m really looking to decrease my hours spent sleeping (goal= about 6hrs sleep), but at the same time max out at a humane level the hours I can be effectively active ( goal = 15/16 hours). First question, is this goal I have healthy, second how should i approach getting this goal if its healthy or whats the closest ratio of hours asleep Vs awake/active
the reason, was not for a job, or school ( in college)
but i find that all my friends seem to have more time than me to do what they want. One thing that really does get to me is i work my ass off for the grades i get, they work half as much and still do the same as me, and they get to enjoy the other half of the free time they have.
There’s this job that I’m trying to get that is from 10:30 pm to 6 am. It PAYS, it’s a piece of cake, and I’m more of a night owl than a morning person anyways. However, I don’t see when I would get all my sleep really….. I have school at 1:40pm so I at least need to be awake by 1pm. By the time I drive home and everything from the job, it’d be around 7AM. So I’d have approx 6 hours of sleep (give or take, because I tend to lay there for a long time before I actually fall asleep) before school. Actually probably less than that if I want to eat lunch. I get out of school at 3:15, and home around 3:40 (the traffic is awful). Then sometime in the evening (very flexible and not necessary a specified time I need to be there, but it takes at least 3 hours) I need to go out to the barn and clean stalls (my other job). I don’t necessarily need to do this every single evening, but at least 4 times a week.
So right now my schedule is:
1:40 pm – school
3:15 – get out of school
3:40 – get home
5-8 pm – clean stalls (although again, I don’t do this every single evening, just four evenings a week give or take a few).
3 AM – bed time ;-]
So I do have a lot of free time, however, I don’t know when I would get all my sleep. I would be able to get 5-6 hours of sleep before school, and possible squeeze in 2-3 hours of sleep after school somehow to get my full 8 hours (although I normally like to go for 10 hours or so LOL ;-]
But my problem is, can I still get through enough REM cycles when I split up my sleep into sections like that? a sleep cycle is 90 minutes, correct? I’m just worried that I can’t really split my sleep up like this and still allow my body to go through what it needs to go through during sleep.
BTW I’m an 18 year old female… if my diet is relevant, I’m a vegetarian, and I don’t take vitamins. Oh, and as far as medications, I take Zoloft.
LOL and now it’s gone because someone reported it so you look like your on crack because you’re making a comment about nothing LOL!!!
