Anyone else like to fall asleep when they're extremely tired? (lemm.ee)

I love it because I fall asleep easier and wake up more fresh

Shout-out to all my homies who are tired all day, avoid screens before bed, read for a bit, journal, do mindful meditation, and take melatonin, but nonetheless lie in bed staring at their eyelids for 2 hours before slipping into a kind of restless unconsciousness that's too long and groggy to be a nap but too short to be a refreshing night of sleep.

I invested in my sleep this year. Bought a white noise machine, comfy percal cotton sheets, ear plugs, eye mask, mouth tape, try to go running consistently, implemented basic sleep hygiene stuff like no phone in the room, and… I still have trouble. I went on a 50km bike ride over the weekend and still had trouble. But… the reality is that it has gotten better on average after implementing all of this and fuck it, I’ll take it.

I drink a cup of coffee only once a day. It’s extra strong though. Maybe that has something to do with it. But I really love that one strong ass coffee in the morning.

Mouth tape? Is this like a sleep apnea home remedy or something? I’m now worried I’m sleeping wrong.

And what about the ass-coffee?

All I know is that I would often wake up with a dry mouth and that I was definitely breathing through it all night.
