Today’s piece makes me feel very, very seen: Why do I wake up tired, even if I get eight hours of sleep? As Katie McPherson writes, “I’m not sure I know anyone who isn’t tired anymore — there’s more to do in a day than any of us have time for, and enough going on in the world to make it feel like you can never really keep up with it all. But there’s a difference between being mentally exhausted and actually feeling like there’s something amiss in your sleep. If you catch yourself wondering, “Why do I wake up tired after eight hours of sleep?” it could mean that you need to make some changes — to your sleep environment, your diet, or your bedtime routine. In some cases, you might need a doctor’s expertise. Here’s where to start.” I hope it gives you some answers, too. |
