Was just wondering
Sleep. Always take the option to sleep.
And actually sleep, don’t lay in bed playing on your phone half the time.
Easier said than done🫤, I cant sleep well before sunrise, even if I do, I don’t feel well rested even if I get 8hrs
If you can access it then it would probably be worth doing a sleep study, if you haven’t already. There’s a lot of reasons you may be sleeping terribly and many of them are fixable or at least treatable.
I feel fine when sleeping through the whole afternoon, I am just spoiled
There are different forms of “your circadian rhythm is all fucky” that are actual treatable diagnoses. I’d agree with the other guy; get it checked out if possible.
I know mate.
don’t lay in bed playing on your phone half the time.
And if you’re going to at the very least filter out all the blue light.
But really, don’t. The phone is too stimulating.
Yes, but cold turkey can be tough for some people. I have my phone set to automatically turn greyscale at night. It helps.
3 hours of sleep
Coffee will make me feel miserable if I drank it at the wrong time
a hobbit never turns down a nap, why would you
I’ll take 3 hrs of coffee! Sleep is for the weak
How many hours of coffee does it take for the heart palpations to kick in?
About an hours worth. Heart palpations just mean it’s working!
You can actually try both. When my husband is exhausted from insomnia, he gets up in the middle of the night and makes a cup of coffee, and it somehow knocks him out enough to fall asleep.
Highly doubt if you can get high quality sleep that way
Insomnia sucks tho, I can’t sleep no matter how hard I try when I am stressed and it’s brutal, can’t imagine going thru that every single day
Coffee is a stimulant and stimulants can absolutely cause drowsiness in people, usually those of us with ADHD.
If I’m not tired I can drink a small espresso and the stimulation from the caffeine wakes my brain up enough to actually deliver the sleepy hormones (this is how my Dr described it to me, anyway)
Thats very interesting
Three hours of sleep. The more insufficient that three hours is, the more you need it.
Quoting from my favorite blog speedsmart, “Any amount of sleep is better than none”.
For me 3 hours is exactly the wrong amount of sleep. I would be groggy for hours afterwards. In college my rule was I’d only sleep if I could get at least 5 hours. Now, some decades later, I’d take the sleep.
If I’m going to get less than 5 hours of sleep, just give me the coffee and I’ll power through.
‘Studies’ show that coffee only makes you less aware of your exhaustion, it doesn’t make you perform any better, so sleep is objectively better, but man, I will feel much worse waking up from 3hrs of sleep than if I just never slept to begin with
but man, I will feel much worse waking up from 3hrs of sleep than if I just never slept to begin with
Yep. That’s why I’ll take the coffee. With just 3 hours, I’m going to be groggier than if I hadn’t slept at all, and the caffeine is just a safety net.

Sleep. I drink coffee for the taste/habit - not because it energizes me.
I suspect I have some combination of ADHD and autism which might make me somewhat “immune” to caffeine. I sometimes drink a cup before sleep too and it doesn’t seem to affect me much.
Should would probably be sleep, but coffee sounds nice.
I prefer to get some real energy, so sleep.
