What's up with morning people? How do they go to sleep at night?

Do they have a Vulcan neck pinch machine or something?

As an insomniac I don't understand anyone who sleeps. You're all alien to me.

They're just wired differently. No magic to it.

Yeah but how do they sleep?

If I get in bed at ten it'll be two hours of eyes closed screaming at myself in my head to go to sleep.

Relax. Try bed meditation for 5 min. Read a boring book. Before I go to sleep I take a warm shower 30m before bed time. I meditate. I close my eyes and fall asleep quickly. I also wear an Oura ring and it tracks my sleep. I do very well. Good luck.

What's the difference between bed meditation and just, going to bed?

In general, they stay on a schedule and only rarely deviate from it.

There are some that are better at being "morning people" than others, though.


Falling asleep very quickly is often a sign that the person isn't getting enough sleep.

Not being able to easily fall asleep can be the result of a lot of different things. Stress/anxiety is a major issue, bad sleep habits is another. Frequently interrupted sleep runs the gambit as well, from stress to intestinal gas to more serious issues like obstructive sleep apnea, etc.

A lot of people who have trouble falling asleep have developed bad sleep habits and irregular sleep schedules or have habits and environments that are not conducive to actually going to sleep.

In this context of not being able to easily fall asleep:

"Going to bed" = Toss and turn until anxiety about not being able to fall asleep forces one to get up and watch TV...

"Meditating" = Purposeful relaxation, if necessary, to prepare one for going to sleep. Meditation, or relaxation exercises, can be helpful for many people suffering from stress/anxiety and the alertness or intrusive thoughts that can prevent them from falling asleep easily.

i think exercise and a strict routine is part of that.

jumping in bed by 2100hrs or earlier also cancels eating after 1800hrs, which is a tactic i use when its time to switch from bulking to cutting.

Well, that doesn't work for me, then, I guess.

What seem to be your issue? (Serious question)

There are a lot of websites that provide help with getting proper sleep by listing a lot of different sorts of things you can do. (Some are better than others.)

If you've got an issue that's particularly troublesome, what is it?

My body has a schedule. I get tired around 8pm and I wake up around 3am. I even wake up before my alarm. My alarm is there just in case.

Morning people terrify me.

I always have been a night owl, but lately after dinner I can hardly keep my eyes open anymore. I guess thats a side effect of aging unfortunately.

It takes energy to digest food. Your body is also producing a lot of different hormones, too. And, it's not atypical that after a big meal, one relaxes when at home. (Couches and comfy chairs take on a whole new appeal. :))

If you're in a different situation, like eating dinner at a restaurant before going out for a "night on the town" the effects are much easier to withstand, aren't they?

Eating earlier, perhaps even a lighter dinner, and getting enough sleep at night/whenever should help. Eating a big meal full of proteins and carbs when one is already a bit tired... has predictable results in certain situations.

(I might take a nap, too. :) I try to eat dinner early, by 6pm or so. But, I also only typically eat once a day - It's my habit and I've done it for the majority of my adult life, really. I never ate "lunch" predictably, either, though have infrequently eaten "breakfast." Social meals are an exception.

If i don't have to work the next day i'll stay up all night and go to bed around 5 or 6 am. If i have to work i'll go to bed at 2 am and be up at 6:30 am to get to work by 8am.

I dunno, I lie still with my eyes closed and I don't go to sleep.

How do I git gud?
