Behold: segmented sleep. You’re probably already familiar
Photo: Buket Akbas/Getty Images/EyeEm Finding yourself wide awake at 3 a.m. is a special kind of hell. It’s dark. It’s lonely. An ideal setting for all your anxieties to blossom into full-blown panic. But does it have to be?
Here’s the thing, though: This paper focused on sleep hackers intent on whittling away the total number of hours spent in bed, including some extreme schedules totaling just two hours of sleep a day in multiple short naps. Klerman emphasizes that there’s no reason to establish a segmented sleep schedule if you’re relatively happy with your sleep.
Next, stop telling yourself to “just relax” Anxiety or, as Dr. Joshua Tal, a New York–based sleep psychologist puts it, “the bear in the bed” is a major sleep thief. And what an anxious moment we’re in.
Okay, here’s how to do this already This is where I admit that after a six-week period of my own middle-of-the-night insomnia, I pitched this story as a way of trying to find some upside to my misery. A few nights a week, I wake up somewhere between 2 a.m. and 4 a.m., get up and pee, and then … just lie there with my brain churning. The first week or two, I managed to get back to sleep eventually. Then I recognized the pattern and developed a fear of not being able to fall back asleep.
