Take Quiz

Which statement best describes your relationship with sleep?

Sleep? What’s that?

 

I try to sleep but always get distracted.

 

“Early to bed, early to rise” is my mantra.

 

Sleep is my favorite hobby.

 

1 / 7

How much sleep do you get on an average night?

Less than 5 hours.

 

5-7 hours.

 

8 or 9 hours.

 

More than 9 hours.

 

2 / 7

Do you prefer to stay up late or get up early?

It depends on how much time I spend overthinking.

 

Late nights are my jam!

 

I function best with a full night of sleep and an early wakeup.

 

I don’t care, as long as I can sleep as much as I want.

 

3 / 7

Do you have trouble falling or staying asleep or waking up way too early?

Every night!! I can’t fall asleep; if I do, I’m usually awake again in just a few hours.

 

I don’t have trouble falling asleep. I’m just wayyy more productive in the hours around midnight.

 

It’s no problem for me to fall asleep - morning comes fast, and I want to make the most of my mornings.

 

Nope! If anything, I have trouble not waking up. Sleep is bliss!

 

4 / 7

Your friends text you an invite to a party. You know you won’t be home until after midnight, and you have work the next day. What do you do?

I tell them I can’t make it. I can barely sleep as it is - I don’t need a party to keep me awake!

 

I text back faster than the speed of light - YES! I plan to be up late anyway – may as well have fun!

 

I let them know I appreciate the offer, but I have work in the morning, and I need my beauty sleep.

 

I miss the text because I’m already sleeping…I’ve waited for this all day!

 

5 / 7

Be honest. How comfy is your bed?

Not great. I toss and turn all night, every night.

 

My bed is fine, but reading or watching cool YouTube videos is wayyy more appealing!

 

It’s perfect for my sleep style, and I get as much rest as I need.

 

It’s pure heaven! I wish I could stay here forever.

 

6 / 7

It’s Saturday, and you have to choose between catching some extra ZZZs or working an extra shift at your job. What’s your pick?

I can’t sleep anyway, so I may as well work.

 

I’m going to sleep. I already worked the night shift yesterday, and I know I should catch up before I get too overtired.

 

I’ll take the shift! I’ve been up for hours and have plenty of energy to grab some overtime at work.

 

Um…sleep? Duh! Sleep is always my first priority.

 

7 / 7

You’re an Insomniac!

When they say geniuses tend to be the insomniacs of society, they’re obviously talking about you.

You have too many thoughts to think! Studies show people with higher IQs have trouble switching off their brains, leading to insomnia. Insomniacs tend to show more signs of internalization, anxiety, and perfectionism. And some people are naturally more resistant to sleep deprivation.

This is great for your creative mind, but chronic sleep deprivation has its downsides. Whether you can’t fall asleep, wake up earlier than the sun itself, or can’t stay asleep. Regularly sleeping less than 5 hours makes you more susceptible to depression, diabetes, obesity, and other health issues that can go so far as to affect your lifespan.

It’s not completely clear what causes insomnia, but studies have found a variety of common factors that contribute. Do you struggle with stress, mental health, inconsistent schedules, have an un-relaxing sleeping space, or take medication? One or all of these could be the culprit.

“Not being able to sleep is terrible. You have the misery of having partied all night… without the satisfaction.” — Lynn Johnston

3 Tips for Better Sleep

1. Keep it consistent.

You might say, “But staying up until 3am every night is consistent!” You’re right. But if you’re only getting ~5 hours of sleep consistently, you don’t get enough deep, restful, healing sleep. Your body doesn’t have time to repair itself.

Start by trying to sleep an hour earlier until you can do so comfortably, and dial it back earlier and earlier as it gets easier. Set a “bedtime” alarm and your wake-up alarm to make it easier to remember.

2. Upgrade your sleeping space.

Your sleep space could be part of your sleep problems.

Invest in some blackout curtains. Sleeping in a dark room stimulates the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone.

Upgrade your mattress to one that suits your sleep style.

Figure out what temperature makes it easier to stay asleep (hint: cooler rooms are usually better!)

3. Get rid of technology (it’s sooo easy to stay up gaming!).

Try a white-noise machine or listen to an audiobook to give your brain something to focus on while you drift off to sleep.

Talk to a sleep specialist or therapist. A sleep specialist can diagnose and treat any sleep disorder you may have. And if your brain just won’t shut off when it’s time to sleep, it may be time to book an appointment with a therapist and work through the issues that keep you up at night.

You’re a Night Owl!

More often than not, you can be found awake well after midnight. The hours around midnight are your most productive ones.

Your brain activity skyrockets. It fires off new ideas almost faster than you can capture them!

When the new day finally hits, though, you tend to crash. You spent all your mental energy during your most productive hours. You got some sleep, most likely not enough, and you’re back at it.

If you have a 9-5 job, this doesn’t work well!

Maybe the key isn’t in how much sleep you get but in the quality and timing of it. The issue with sleep deprivation comes when you aren’t getting that deep, healing sleep that lets your body recover from all you put it through.

“Sleep is such a luxury, which I can’t afford.” —Robin Sikarwar

You’re an Early Bird!

So you’re the “5 am and wide awake” person they warned us about!

You’re part of the 40% of the population who can just wake up and get stuff done.

Early Birds are often seen to be team players. Your personality is more leadership-oriented, and you may be willing to sacrifice personal desires for the greater good.

"Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise." - Benjamin Franklin

You’re an Over-Sleeper!

Hey there, sleepyhead! You’re part of the 2% of the population who sleeps too much (if there is such a thing as too much sleep!).

If you had to choose between a night out with your friends, a date with your comfiest PJs, or a trip to dreamland, you’d choose the latter. No competition.

Whether you oversleep because you’re chronically tired or because you can’t get enough of the feeling of not being awake, we see you. Sleep is great! But can too much be bad for you?

Sleeping in on the weekends is one thing. But it's worth investigating if you have to get at least 9 hours of beauty sleep before you consider yourself rested and refreshed. Medications or medical conditions can impact how much you sleep. If you’re concerned, your best bet is to talk to a sleep specialist. They’ll be able to figure out whatever is going on with your sleep schedule.

In the meantime, what are some things you can do on your own for better sleep?

“I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?” — Ernest Hemingway
