You feel the quality of your rest physically and mentally.
I’ve asked many sleep-deprived clients to describe the first two hours of their day.

I’ve asked many sleep-deprived clients to describe the first two hours of their day.
This thread presents some common themes:
1/ Physical Pain
Some people wake up to the sound of pain instead of an alarm, a loud scream from one or multiple places in their bodies.
Waking up is a physical battle for them.

2/ Heavy Brain
Many people describe this heavy feeling of the brain. Their bodies get out of bed just fine, but their brains feel like an anvil or foggy sometimes for 2-4 hours.

3/ Mental Stress
A few people describe their mornings as the worst part of their day because that’s when their depressive/anxious thoughts hit the hardest.

4/ The Snoozer
A lot of people have to fight their alarms to get up, sometimes for more than two snooze rounds.
Their bodies and brains need to shut down again as soon as they open their eyes.

5/ Digestive Distress
Sometimes it’s the intestines that wake someone up.
They feel painful cramps and an alarming urge to evacuate everything.

6/ Team no sleep
Some people are already awake when it’s time to get out of bed because they’ve been up all night unable to fall asleep.
One described his mornings as an adrenaline rush that crashed hard by noon.

More energy, less brain fog.
Pay attention.
