The thing is tho I would get 10 hours of great sleep with my old terrible sleep hygiene. Watching tv playing video games in bed till 4 am and just sleeping till 2 pm the next day no problems at all while also having amazing lucid dreams where I could actually figure out I was dreaming in my dream and doing things I wouldn’t normally do because I knew I was dreaming and would have no repercussions lol I mean at one point I didn’t even have a bed I could drink a cup of coffee at 2 am to play video games till 4 am and sleep on the hard floor with just a sheet and a fan on me no problem while feeling wide awake when I went to sleep.

Now with all of my improved sleep hygiene I am getting nowhere near the sleep I used to because I am trying to make everything perfect and ideal to induce sleep. I almost feel like I should just take the not giving a damn approach I used to have lol.

I read the hypnic jerk post and that doesn’t describe mine at all. I actually enjoy feeling them. Sometimes it’s like a jolt of electricity often it’s just a jerky motion I make with my arms or legs but it’s peaceful to me knowing I am drifting off to sleep idk. I just can’t really transition from that state of mind to the really deep sleep phase like I used to.

One thing I have noticed tho is I am making a lot more money now than I used to as I work from home and my income is directly linked to how much work I do on my laptop. So waking up at 9 or 10 am instead of 2 pm is doing wonders for my productivity. Also reading about successful people like The Rock and others who say they get 3-5 hours of sleep a night and wake up at 4 am every morning ect ect is actually very calming and motivating in a weird way. I’m the type of person to try and take a negative(My new sleeping issue) and turn it into a positive(Okay so I can’t sleep 10-12 hours of deep sound sleep anymore so i’ll just be like many successful people and get by on 3 hours of sleep a night like they do!)
