If you are awake at 4 am, and have to be at work at 7, should you even try to get back to sleep or should you try to do something with your time?

    Pretty much what I do exactly. I have an app that notifies me 1hr before it’s 8hrs from wake up time. So basically, I get notified 9hrs before I want to wake up. I go to sleep 8hrs before, but realistically fall asleep around 7.5hrs before I want to wake up. Then, if I feel groggy when I wake up, I do a 30min snooze. Sometimes I’ll also take a caffeine/theanine pill before the 30min snooze. Then you reallly wake up.

      The option to sleep an extra half hour when you don’t want to get up is key. I recommend it for anyone. It’s so worth it.
