I stopped setting an alarm for 30 days and my sleep got WORSE somehow
Back in January I decided to try something dumb and just let my body wake up on its own for a whole month, no alarm, no schedule. The first week felt amazing, I was sleeping until 9 or 10 and thought I cracked some secret code. By week three I was going to bed at 2am and waking up at 11, feeling groggy and weird all day, and I realized my body has no clue what it wants without some kind of nudge. I learned that the freedom I thought I wanted was actually just me being lazy with no structure, and I went back to a 6:45 alarm feeling way better. Has anyone else tried ditching the alarm and had it backfire like this?
