        I don’t think you’re supposed to stay in bed for 12 hours in the first place! That’s why you probably have 0 sleep drive for the next night.

          Yes I agree. I have tried using an alarm clock to wake up after 7 hours but I feel so sleepy I go back to sleep.

            Riding the roller coaster of lots of sleep then little (or no sleep) then lots of sleep is almost always a symptom of allotting too much time for sleep and not observing a consistent out of bed time in the morning.

            If it’s important for you to enjoy more consistent sleep, it’s important to observe a consistent sleep schedule!

            Here’s a short video about this: How to stop the sleep roller coaster and make sleep more consistent and more predictable.

            I hope this helps!
