I’ll Paint You a picture
00:00 The blanket gets pulled over my body, the light turns off
00:10 i am asleep

07:00: and ambulance passes by, a ray of sub hits my face directly, i have go to the bathroom whatever It Is, i wake up
07:05 situation solved. Given my alarm Is at 8, I try go back to sleep.
07:30: given i’m still awake, I decide to fully get out of bed, since 30mins isn’t worth It

This happens to me at least weekly. Why? Why Is going back to sleep once You’ve been women up so much harder than going to sleep the First time?

when you’re awake you are building up sleep pressure from a chemical used in your neurons. when you sleep it is cleared away. since you have been sleeping for 7 hours before you were awakened most, if not all, of your sleep pressure is gone.
