hello here to give some parent advice re: sleep
1) you could be sleeping too much. it's a thing! it's very possible you need less than eight hours
2) you could be sleeping at the wrong time - some people have delayed sleep schedules and sleep best and rest the best at different times
3) you could be waking up in the middle of a sleep cycle. the average sleep cycle is 90 minutes, if you wake up in the middle of one you might feel more sleepy (same theory as napping - either you take a 15-20 minute power nap or you sleep 90 minutes, it'll be the most refreshing)
4) your quality of sleep isn't good enough, due to pillow/duvet/sleep posture/room temperature/noise levels
5) tiredness can also come from a whole lot of other things - eating too much, eating too little, generally poor diet, stress etc
i’m probably not sleeping too much lol, hopefully not (i’ve gone on less than 8 hours before, not very fun) and i have the same sleep cycle as the other days, just tuesday’s and thursdays i have to wake up to an alarm which body does not like
i have been struggling to eat enough so that could actually contribute :(
