Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" doesn't feel good and isn't satisfying?

It's like can't win. Its been like this my entire life. I currently have don't have problems getting to sleep but it's waking up that's bullshit.
You're viewing a single thread.
Everyone else has good suggestions, but for me, it turned out to be sleep apnea. See if you can talk to a sleep doctor.
Seconded! I found out in my late twenties that I was waking up every three minutes, all night long. I used to sleep 10-18 hours a day if I could get the time, and was still exhausted.
I won't even nap without my breathing machine now; the difference is shocking.
My nurses always complement me for using it 99% of the time. I can't understand why someone would not use it.
I think for some folks there's something primal going on, a feeling of being trapped when things are over their faces that they can't shake. It seems like something deep-seated and unconscious, really hard to get past. I get that way if I can't freely move my arms and legs while sleeping, but the face has never been so bad.
I wish I knew some advice I could give that would help people struggling but whenever food, sex, or sleep is involved, we're still weird fleshy worm tubes twitching our way through a hostile world.
Late twenties as well. Unfortunately, my machine hasn't made a difference for me yet, which has been pretty difficult. Hopefully a solution is in my future
Man, that sucks. I hope you get a solution soon.
