Logan, try taking a melatonin right before bed. It’s great, I have mild insomnia (getting to sleep, not staying asleep, is my problem), and I’m 14. (:

Just thought it’d be funny to share that around 1:30 pm everyday, I take a “bathroom break” at work in order to snag a quick 5-10 minute nap in a bathroom stall. I often wonder if my co-workers have caught on yet, or if they just think I’m very “regular.”

Naps have helped me overwhelm my depression. I take medicines prescribed by a doctor, but when I feel low, a good nap really helps.

I’m not a big fan of nap, not after this one time back in high school. I think it was the end of my senior year. This one time I fell asleep while the sun was still out. When I woke, I was fully rested, so I thought it was morning. When I look at my clock, it said it was 9:00, and I thought I was really late for school. I happened to glance outside and saw it was dark. I thought the sun had burnt out. So, with there being no sun any more I figured if I didn’t go to school it wouldn’t matter. That’s when I realized that my clock said P.M.

This has been really bothering me. Everyday when I’m about to leave work, I think to myself “I’m going to take a nap when I get home”, by the time I get home about an hour later I’m so wired I can’t nap! I end up going to be too late and repeat the same cycle again.

Does anyone else have this problem?

I think he means something along the lines of “Do not awake between 45 and 90 minutes of sleep.”

As in: either sleep less than 45 minutes or wake up after ~90 minutes of sleep. It’s implied that waking up after 45-85 minutes of sleep will leave you groggy.

“Try not to sleep longer than 45 minutes but less than 90 minutes;”

Run that by me again? If I don’t sleep longer than 45 minutes, I will automatically sleep less than 90.

I think you mean “Try to sleep longer than 45 minutes but less than 90 minutes;” -v dog

actually he asks us to sleep lessthan 45
or more than 90 minutes as then v will not feel groggy
