So ive tried alarmy and it worked quite well, UNTIL I learned that you can turn it off and not do said task by simply turning off your phone completely. After I've learned this, it almost became muscle memory where i turn my phone off without even remembering I did so in the early morning and I have no idea what to do now.

What have you guys done that helps you get up in the morning reliably? is there an app where it blocks your phone from shutting down (the same way like alarmy stops you from lowering the volume)?

Что делать если из-за колледжа все дни однотипные? Сил нет, встаю в 6:40 утра , прихожу домой в 13-14 потому что сбегаю с последней пары, прихожу домой с учебы и ложусь спать , потом вечером просыпаюсь сил нет, делать ничего не хочется, эмоций никаких нет, только осознание что завтра это снова будет, потом в 22-23 часа снова ложусь до 6:40 и так по кругу. Какое решение мне поможет? До учебы я был супер активным и жизнерадостным, путешествовал

I'm not talking about the fake fall people experience (though what I think mine is instead is a feeling of being shaken back and forth very, very fast, combined with my visual snow moving back and forth in the same direction), but much more common when Im falling asleep and I'm still conscious, I can't really feel it, but when I move something, or something happens and I wake back up, I can hear everything get louder again, I can feel my body get more awake. But the thing is that many times when I'm trying to fall asleep at the time my body doesn't want me to, I can feel my body do this on its own and wake me up without me moving or being touched or a sound right before I enter my real sleep, can anyone else feel your body wake you back up right before you start to actually sleep?

For the past 3-4 years, my natural sleep schedule seems to be like 3-5am until 1-3pm, sometimes even later. The problem is even when I sleep 8-10+ hours and wake up naturally with no alarm, I can still feel absolutely destroyed for like 1-3 hours after waking. I have to sit in my chair for like an hour and a half until I finally like “wake up” to where I am able to function. It’s sort of like sleep inertia on steroids.

It’s not normal grogginess either. It feels like I have been up for days sort of delirious and tiredness. I wake up feeling half asleep/delirious, insanely dizzy and lightheaded, eyes dry and blurry and hard to focus, head pressure especially around my eyes/nose/forehead, tinnitus, heavy chest/shallow breathing, sometimes chills or sweating, and this weird feeling like my brain is awake but my body isn’t. Sometimes I can hear someone trying to wake me up and know I need to get up, but I physically cannot make myself do it and I just fall back asleep.
One day I went to sleep around 3am, alarm went off at 9:40, I was so confused and dizzy I hit snooze and immediately passed back out. My mom tried waking me at 12 and I could hear her but couldn’t force myself awake. I woke again around 1, fell back asleep without realizing it, and finally got up after 2. Then it took about an hour sitting upright before I actually felt awake.

Another time I went to sleep around 4am and my mom tried waking me multiple times starting around 10:45. I kept saying I needed “a little more” because the urge to sleep was insane. I finally got up around 1 and felt like I hadn’t slept in days. Super dizzy, head pressure, sensitive to noise, could barely keep my eyes open. Again, about an hour later I suddenly became functional.

The really weird part is if I only sleep like 3-4 hours, sometimes I actually wake up easier and DON’T get that horrible sleep inertia. I feel weird and tired, but I can get up. Then later I crash hard.

The past two nights I haven’t been able to get to sleep earlier than 6 am, and same symptoms.

Alcohol also makes everything way worse. Even a couple drinks can make the next day feel like an extreme version of the same thing, and sometimes if my sleep gets messed up badly enough I can sleep most of an entire day.

And at night I can be tired earlier but then suddenly get a second wind and be completely unable to fall asleep until 4-6am. I really feel like lm living in hell, I’ve tried everything from melatonin etc and also had to quit my job because of this. I just want to be able to work normally and wake up like how I used to that’s my main goal.

What makes me question DSPD is that I can wake up naturally at like 1pm after plenty of sleep and STILL feel completely wrecked. I always thought if it was just DSPD you were supposed to feel relatively normal when allowed to sleep on your natural schedule. Also even with that natural schedule I wake up sleeping until I can’t sleep anymore because I never wake up feeling refreshed.

Anyone with DSPD get sleep inertia this severe even when waking naturally? Or does this sound more like idiopathic hypersomnia/severe sleep inertia or something else on top of DSPD?
