Hi, I am seeing some improvements in my sleep the last few nights but I am still not getting that lovely refreshed feeling. Can anyone advise how long it takes to start feeling refreshed after long term sleep issues or can just one night of good sleep make you feel good the next day even if you haven’t had a good night in 5 years.

I am so happy to hear that you have been experiencing some improvements in your sleep! How are you doing since you posted?

There’s a lot that goes into feeling refreshed after sleep — and it’s often influenced more by sleep quality than sleep duration alone. Many people also experience sleep inertia — a sense of grogginess in the morning that can take a half-hour or so to shake off. So, how you feel first thing in the morning isn’t always an accurate reflection of how well you slept.

I think that it’s entirely possible to feel good the next day after just one night of good sleep, but how we feel is influenced by many factors that are both related and unrelated to sleep. So, you might need more than one good night of sleep to feel refreshed in the morning (but you might not)!
