Originally posted by arrakisthat test is common sense...time between when you fall asleep and wake up minus the time you are awake in between...the problem i have is when i have to get up at 6-7am. when i have the opportunity to sleep in i can go to bed at 1am and get up at 12noon. but i can never fall asleep untill around 1am even after a long week
Ok, take this sleep test and tell me what it says:

I have my suspicions, but I'd like to verify them.
Originally posted by zeppelin xIt calculates more than that. For example, if you went to bet at 3:00 am, woke up 3 times only for a few minutes and then slept till 10:00 am, the time is 7 hours minus a few minutes... But in reality, it took you some time to fall asleep, and each time you woke up it took a lot more than just a few minutes to get back into the "deep sleep" that your body requires.
that test is common sense...time between when you fall asleep and wake up minus the time you are awake in between...the problem i have is when i have to get up at 6-7am. when i have the opportunity to sleep in i can go to bed at 1am and get up at 12noon. but i can never fall asleep untill around 1am even after a long week
So for the above case, it would be typical to only get an actual 4-5 hours of deep sleep.
If you don't maintain the status of "deep sleep", often called "REM sleep", your body will be very tired the next day.
I'm sorry to say that I don't have an answer for you. But being aware of the problem (that you aren't spending enough time in REM sleep) may be a place for a professional to help.
