Polyphasic Sleep:
Unlike humans who tend to sleep in long, uninterrupted periods, horses have a polyphasic sleep pattern, characterized by multiple short naps throughout the day and night.
To be fair humans also have that. That’s the reason so many people wake up in the middle of the night. The most “natural” pattern is to sleep 4hrs, wake up for like an hour, and sleep four hours more. Then you get cursed people like me, who sleep for 12 and are still tired
I’m working with my psych for years now and most we got is to get me to sleep relatively quickly. Mostly online / via phonecall. Recently suggested that it might be something else, like a deviated septum. He asked me “you obese?” I said yea. He asked “does your partner complain about you snoring?” I said “don’t have one, but previous one did”. Asked a bunch more followup questions. He then referred me to a sleep study clinic and wished me “to finally find someone who could tell you if you are breathing at night or not”. God damn, I could look for doctors for years and not find one as brutally honest / backhanded in compliments than him. Love it.
Napping is the key

Normally i get up cause i need to use the bathroom.
Yeah this constant state of exhaustion is ridiculous. Sleep 3 or 12 hours its all the same. Took a nap over the weekend and it just feels wrong.
