Intermittent Sleep

While many people today are hooked on intermittent fasting to be healthy, I experienced intermittent sleeping last night. Am already asleep at 9:00 or 10:00 p.m. but last night, I was awakened by a bad cold at 11 p.m. So I took an antipyretic medicine then continued sleeping, but am up again at 1 a.m. then I could hardly sleep till 4 a.m. So I got up at 5 a.m. feeling tired, unlike in the past when I felt refreshed upon waking up. Had you experienced the same disturbed sleeping pattern?

Yes I do and I don't think that it is nearly as effective as intermittent fasting.

Oh, so sorry that your cold is ruining your sleep. I hope it goes away quickly and you can get your rest. The sleep will help you get well faster.

It can be pretty unpredictable to do those type of fasting. The patterns here are pretty much different as well.

We often have a bad night sleepwise. But being retired we can always take a nap if we need it.

I agree, maybe it goes with the age. Taking a day nap is good.

Most of the time, because of my online job.. But I am already used to it. And I can't sleep during daytime so I only get a total of 4 to 5 hours of sleep a day...

You still lack some hours of sleep, and they say it is really important to have a night's sleep.

I've been living so much for years now and it's a horrible feeling. I'm sorry you had a sleep disorder.

It is not constant; there were days that I have good sleep.
