[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Okay so maybe off topic a bit but for various reasons I won’t go into I’ve been sleeping for 5 hours at night, waking up and doing stuff for an hour, then going back to bed and sleeping another 2-3 hours. I feel fantastic but wondered if this is unhealthy so I did a bit of research. Segmented sleep is how humans did it for millennia—it’s the way we are wired! It wasn’t until the Industrial Revolution that people began to sleep in one big time lump.[/quote]

i've been sleeping for two hours on the sofa between 10-midnight, then doing dishes/walk the dog/clean, and then get to bed around 1-1:30. alarm goes off a bit after 7, so it is all a crapshoot how much sleep i get.

unfortunately for me, according to the app those two hours on the sofa are usually my best sleep of the night. i rarely get into deep sleep in my bed, and maaaybe some REM.

It’s completely normal to get most/all of your deep sleep in the first part of the night. I always get all of mine before 2am.[/quote]
Yes -- this is why I actually hate going to bed later than my usual time (~11 o'clock) -- it prevents me from getting the true restorative sleep that happens during the hours of 11-2.  When I stay up past 12:30 or so, I just end up having fitful sleep and feeling tired the next day.[/quote]
