      You need consistent 8, not sporadic 10s and 12s.

      When I do a 12hr sleep, I feel like my brain atrophied in my sleep, wake up and stay foggy all day.

        one 3 hour block, one 6 hour block, if I’m lucky they’re together if I’m not I have to dedicate 12 hours to sleep. really depends on how much i wake up on the midnight shit. if i can stay asleep (and I have managed to stay asleep for well over a year and keep my (early telecommuting) job and shit. that was an interesting nap to wake up from) and i can, it really just depends how much garlic i et

      Something something sleep debt.

      At this point I figure I’m so far in the hole I just don’t worry about it much anymore. Plenty of time to catch up once I’m dead.

        Yeah, it takes a bit to “pay back” the owed debt, but it’s a matter of a couple if weeks at most. Sleeping well and long for two-three days in a row should already have positive effects. While sleeping long only once might make you feel even more tired - or at least that’s how I feel.
