For you insomniacs who don’t get enough sleep as it is and have morning jobs, what do you if you have a sudden blackout at like 9pm and lasts through 4am?

Just curious, hitting a heat wave so was sitting in my car blasting the AC while I was reading an ebook.

God I wish I could sleep that long
Are you refreshed afterwards? If so, work out how that happened and try to repeat it!
Set your alarm on your phone.
That doesn’t sound like my experience of insomnia, unless I take some strong medication.
Congrats, you’ve accidentally achieved what melatonin and chamomile tea could never. Cherish it.
Never happen I have gotten better my average is six hours even after working two jobs. If I don’t work at least 12 hours I won’t sleep very well.
The part time job was the best idea. I get six that’s a lifetime for me.
check for an exhuast leak or leaky head gasket.
Check with your doc to see if you have sleep apnea. Undiagnosed patients sometimes fall asleep at traffic lights and other odd spots
Dont confuse sleep procrastination with insomnia
This happens to me sometimes. I’m a HARDCORE night owl and I work a 9am-5pm job. It’s pretty common for me to come home from work and nap… sometimes those naps turn into 8 hours 😬
If you’re feeling fresh when you wake up, that’s the most important thing. I try to ignore whatever the time is, I’ll just nap/sleep when my body is tired.
