I generally, when I do sleep, which isn't often, sleep only for maybe 2 hours before I just wake up, ready to go.

One thing I am noticing recently is this weird dichotomy between how long it seems like I've been asleep (as judged right when I wake up but before looking at any clock) and then, how long it turns out I have actually slept. Example. I just woke up. I was finally able to fall asleep. I had a bunch of dreams. It seemed like it had been maybe, oh, 3-4 hours perhaps. But guess what? It was just under an hour.

Am I the only one who thinks they are sleeping way longer than they actually are? What does this mean?
hey, was just reading this - have no idea why I came in here.....

anyways. from what I've been told (which is little) and from what I have experienced, some of those things are from the sleep cycles/levels themselves! the odd dreams and sleeping length time ideas, those I've had. and yes, the dreams can be weird as h**l.

i use to have no problem sleeping 12 to 14 hours. (pretty sure my D helped with that) but all that has been thrown out the window the past year.
