😴 5 Reasons You're Still Tired After 8 Hours of Sleep
Spoiler: It’s not always “just stress.”
You did it. You finally got your full 8 hours. You even skipped the doom scroll. So why do you still feel like a melted gummy bear at 9 AM? 🍬💤
Here’s what might be going on (and no, more caffeine isn’t the fix):
1️⃣ Your Sleep Was Trash Quality
You technically slept, but you rolled around like a rotisserie chicken. 🌪️ No deep sleep = no full recovery. Quality > quantity, always.
2️⃣ You Ate Like a Goblin at Midnight
Late-night sugar bombs and greasy snacks? Your digestion was too busy throwing a rave to let you rest. 🍕⚡
3️⃣ You're Caffeine-Logged
That “last cup” at 4 PM? Yeah... caffeine has a half-life. ☕ It’s probably still moshing in your brain while you're trying to snooze.
4️⃣ Your Stress System Never Clocked Out
If your brain thinks you're still running from saber-toothed tigers (aka emails), you’re not sleeping — you’re hiding in freeze mode. 🧠🧊
5️⃣ You Don’t Actually Know Your Sleep Cycles
Not all 8 hours are equal. Miss the right sleep timing and you might wake up feeling like you lost a fight with your mattress. 🛌🥴
