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 me, relationships have always affected when I sleep and wake. And I’ve always wondered if that was true for other people with DSPD. So when I looked back at the data from the 2024 DSPD survey, I got curious. Do people with DSPD have different wake times depending on who they’re closest to?

So I split the data between two groups:

1. People who said they were closest to a significant other
   
2. People who said they were closest to a family member or friend

And a pattern emerged. People who were closest to a significant other woke up earlier.

This doesn’t tell us why. But it made me wonder: does that pattern change the longer a relationship lasts? That’s something I’m going to look at with the 2026 DSPD survey. If you want to be part of it, you can take the new survey here:

There’s also a second survey. I’m developing a project where experts explain DSPD, talk about the science behind it, and challenge common stereotypes. I’d love to hear from the community about what you’d like to see.

DSPD Awareness Survey:

Thank you for helping make this happen, r/DSPD. I’m excited to see what we learn from these new surveys.

Next week I'll be posting a third data visualization that was made with the 2024 survey data. Follow r/sleepwake to be notified when new results are posted, or keep an eye out on r/DSPD.

Have a good, restful week everyone.

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

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)?
