Woke up for my alarm for work this morning and fell back asleep. My mum called me 20 minutes before I was supposed to start, which was so lucky because I wouldn’t have woken up.
Does anyone here wake up early everyday without an alarm?
I only need about 5-6 hours naturally, any more than that and I feel sluggish and a bit discombobulated lol. I get tired early though, so I like to be in bed by 9-9:30pm and resting my back and legs for a bit before I actually go to sleep. I have to make myself stay awake a bit longer or I’ll drop off to sleep and do that thing where I wake up and think, “oh that was a good sleep, I wonder what time it is?” and it’s 1am! Then I get really cranky because I know I can’t get much more and I’ll be stuck trying to be quiet in a house of sleeping people lol.Otherwise I frequently sleep in a kind of split shift, where I get 3 hours then get up, check on the kids, security camera etc and then go back to bed and get a couple more eventually. I used to get really bummed over the whole “people need to sleep for 8 hours” thing until I accepted that this is my “natural” and it works for me.

Yeah. My alarm is really a backup to make sure I don’t sleep through, which is pretty rare for me.
Do you feel like you get enough sleep?

Yup. I set my alarm based on when I start work, with 6.20 being the earliest. I literally can’t remember the last time it was my alarm that woke me
How much sleep do you get?
Normally about 8h - but even if I have a randomly late night I wake up same time, around 5.30 to 6
