Just. Stop. Talking.
Yep, looks like my husband, who is not sleeping (that is what he says).
If it makes your sleepless nights any easier, know that you aren't alone. According to CDC data, more than a third of American adults are not getting enough of good sleep on a regular basis. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society recommend that adults aged 18–60 years should get at least 7 hours of quality sleep each night to promote optimal health and well-being.
Sleeping less than 7 hours per day can lead to an increased risk of developing chronic conditions such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and frequent mental distress.
"As a nation, we are not getting enough sleep," said Wayne Giles, M.D., director of CDC’s Division of Population Health. "Lifestyle changes such as going to bed at the same time each night; rising at the same time each morning; and turning off or removing televisions, computers, mobile devices from the bedroom can help people get the sleep hygiene they need."

I'm actually really comforted by the fact that apparently thousands of other people have exactly the same issues with sleep that I do.
While I agree and it's totally normal to have these problems sometimes, it's very sad so many people don't get good sleep and that's some kind of merit 'not to have time to sleep'. Also there are so many health problems causing and coming from sleep problems and I hope people would take them more seriously
My thoughts exactly.
I have a cat with a built-in alarm set at 5.34 every morning :(
That’s generous. Mine is apparently set for 4:30am. 😺
My cats arent aloud in my room at night. I like the door closed and there isn't a little box
My dogs have a bit of a sliding scale between 5am and 6:30. Unfortunately there is no snooze button and the rather labrador will sit on your chest while the two smaller dogs lick your face. A very effective alarm clock indeed.
My dog stares so hard at me, I can feel it in my sleep. Like clockwork at five a.m.
i have a dog set for about 8:00
When you are trying to sleep but only LED lights allowed in your continent and the blue light they emit scrw up your circadian cycle and your brain thinks it's daytime.
That's why I wear a sleeping mask! :D
It's about the blue light that you're exposed to for around an hour before going to bed
What continent do you live in?
