Re: hello everyone!!

hi tofumanic!
I'm not sure if this is the sort of answer that you're looking for, but I'll add my two cents.
I've recently been in your position. I'm around your age and I just finished grad school. I'd also gone through days where I absolutely could not wake up. I slept through alarms, the phone, etc.
I've found that since I've completely eliminated all caffeine and refined sugar from my diet and made a point of not eating anything at least 4 hours before I go to bed, this situation has improved *tremendously.*
I still study late and go to bed at 4-5 am, but I make sure not to snack after midnight. Quitting caffeine was much more difficult than cutting out all sugar, but it has also vastly improved my quality of sleep. I don't actually get any more hours of sleep than before, but I no longer need "hibernation" days!
I hope that this helps.
Best wishes,
Noele
