How long does it take you to get going in the morning? How long do you lay in bed after you wake up, and then how long does it take for you to kick that groggy feeling? |
Joe,
it usually only takes 5-10 minutes to really wake up in the mornings. Sometimes it's almost instant (that 'leap out of bed' feeling), and occasionally it's a little longer than the 10.
There are two main times during the day when I always feel tired: shortly before the nap and shortly before core sleep. I usually nap at 19:30 and I start getting really tired about 19:20. My body's definitely adjusted to the new sleep times.
As for dream recall, it's about the same now as it has been for a couple of months. I often remember dreams when I'm in that first 10 minutes after waking; but unless I write them down I can't recall them after that.
Quick question : how are you setting the alarm (determining the time)? I usually allow 15 minutes or so to fall asleep (depending on how tired I feel), and set the alarm for 80 minutes (or 4.5 hours) + 15 minutes. I often wake up just before it sounds, and these are the days on which I have the clearest dream recall.
