the reason is that you're waking up at a bad time in your sleep cycle. no joke the 15-20 minute power nap is the best form of nap i have found. it takes some practice to learn to fall asleep in that time but thankfully the practice is literally "set a timer, go close your eyes, if you don't fall asleep that's ok you still got some rest"

i was getting away with a python script on the previous work laptop since it was a dinosaur company, but i suspect that i may have to get an actual jiggler for the next open to recommendations from the primary nap admins!

 in college i had a little 15 minute nap app and one of the things it said was "even just closing your eyes can be profoundly beneficial" and it's true. even if you don't literally fall asleep, lying down in a calm space with your eyes closed for a little bit is still a lot more restful than not doing that

i had a period of terrible insomnia a couple times in my life, so i'd lay there meditating for hours on end. it worked pretty well for not being completely wiped at work now im usually in bed before 10:00 and wake up around 9:30. i fall asleep quickly, too

dioxazine posted:open to recommendations from the primary nap admins! i use macos so i recommend amphetamine https://apps.apple.com/us/app/amphetamine/id937984704?mt=12 it's more complex than it should be, but it works wonderfully! set the mouse cursor to move every minute (ignore the trigger function) then activate it in the menubar dropdown.  increments of 5 minutes, even. how convenient, based on how long your nap window can be for that day!  224 naps and counting! thanks amphetamine! Pile Of Garbage posted:longer i sleep the worse it gets cos i have extremely vivid dreams mine kick in at the end and since march 2020 mine are insanely vivid but not to the point of lucidity, and my c/w has recommended i get diagnosed for night terrors when they hit. lol pleasant dreams this week, though

i don't like structured naps. i like when they're a fun surprise while watching tv. especially the itchy eye sleepy feeling where you know if you close your eyes it's z town that i don't get at night.

But overall the speed right when I wake up seems to trick my brain into being alert during the day instead of when I'm in bed trying to sleep
