Imagine being on a seesaw and an adult is on the other side helping you go up and down. It’s easy to get out of the ride then you’re at the “down” part and difficult to get out when you’re at the “up” right?
In this example, the seesaw is sleep, and each “up” and “down” takes around 90 minutes. Getting woken up at the wrong timing is like being made to get out of the seesaw while you’re in the “up” part; it’s not a good time 🙁
