You forget the falling asleep literally 12 minutes before your alarm goes off.
The deepest, most-restful sleep of the night.
Tossing and turning, struggling to fall asleep, and getting up to go to the toilet at totally random times.
Sleep inertia
Wait so sleep has momentum? Does sleep have mass? Is dark matter just all the sleep in the galaxy? Coffee is an anti-gravitational field??
Have you ever slept? It's obviously a phenomenon in the quantum scale. No other explanation could possibly cover why it has such a weak impact unless done in bulk and oddities like waking up in entangled states of asleep and awake.
Sleep paralysis is basically Shroedinger’s uncertainty principle. Asleep and awake.
Meth: the final frontier
OP: rants at and treats self like a little bitch
Also OP: why am I tired?
their body is a little bitch
It's not the body's fault, it's the brain's fault. That asshole! That's why https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/are-you-going-to-sleep
their brain is within their body
Is it though?
Sleep apnea. So starving my brain of oxygen.
Mood
I used to wake up energized about twice per year. These last few years I always wake up tired.
I've had sleep apnea tests (I dont have it).
I stopped drinking alcohol, ironically a lot of the 'hangovers' I had appear to be how I wake up without drinking too.
I drink about 1l of water before bed. If I dont, I get let cramps when asleep.
I eat multivitamins daily with addition iron and vitamin D.
I used to drink a lot of coffee but now can't stomach the stuff.
I went caffeine free for months and it didnt help.
I'm completely screws lol :D
Considering what you've tried this might seem obvious but since I didn't see these explicitly mentioned:
Have you tried being really consistent with your sleep schedule? Especially the time you wake up? (Probably the most important thing one can do for sleep quality)
Have you checked wether the temperature you sleep in is ideal(cooler than normal)?
Have you eliminated lights and noise from your bedroom? It needs to be completely dark and insulated from noise.
Have you checked your sleep position and mattress? There are certain professional suggestions I've read about, like you should sleep on your side ideally with your dominant hand on top(fetal position) and the mattress should not be too hard or too soft and you sink into it too much and you should be replacing it from time to time(5-10 years).
Have you optimized your pre and post sleep routines? Like staying away from screens and blue lights, winding down(for pre sleep), not changing up the routines as much as possible.
Are you exercising enough and enough time before sleep?
Have you checked the air quality in your room during the night? If the CO2 level is too high you will not sleep well and may wake up with headaches or otherwise feeling unwell.
Best to sleep with a window open to ensure some fresh air can get in.

Vitamin D makes me groggy. I still take it but I have to be strategic (eg, once a week on Friday night so if I wake up groggy Saturday it’s no big deal).
Not to preach to the choir, but my sleep quality improved greatly when I started a very physical job. Not to say you have to do that, but moving around can be very beneficial
Thanks for the help!
I've worked out 5 days a week, 3 days weights, 2 days cardio with no noticeable impact.
I'm glad it worked for you :)
Let me introduce you to my friend Magnesium. It's improved my sleep quality substantially in the past 2 weeks I've started taking it
Thanks for the tip. What dose so you take?
I think it's 200 mg. There's a couple different formats out there. Some are more gentle on your stomach. Go with those, and take before bed. Omega 3s are supposed to help, too, so I take them as well
Some are more gentle on your stomach.
You may have helped me solve a mystery. I started taking it a few weeks ago and I've had a lot of abdominal discomfort recently, but never put the two together. Also, I've unfortunately not seen any improvement in my chronic fatigue.
Apparently magnesium glycinate is the one (I was drawing a blank) that's easier on you. supposedly it takes a few weeks to kick in, but I noticed an improvement in sleep right away.
really hope you get the rest you need. If you're still struggling, check your iron/test for Celiac's - I'm just some guy on the internet, but my wife has super low iron and my FIL has celiac's - in his case he had no symptoms at all, apart from fatigue and weight loss.
Thank you so much! I will try some magnesium glycinate. I am taking iron as well as I'm almost always low on that. Appreciate you taking the time to help.
Glycinate or Citrate will do the most for you sleep wise. Pills are dirt cheap, or if you want some flavor you can buy Natural Calm. It's just flavored magnesium citrate.
Pills are 200mg per pill, I have alot of sleep issues I usually take 4 pills. 2 if each type and sleep like a baby. But some people can't handle the magnesium and it causes diarrhea

"Ugh, I feel like garbage."
"You must have slept wrong."
"WHY is that POSSIBLE?"
be an introvert
Dream about talking to huge crowd of people
Wake up exhausted from talking to people

Add to my list of evidence against intelligent design.
I'm with you there.
If this ::wildly points at self:: is intelligent design, then said intelligence clearly adhered to a strict "just barely good enough to survive and move genes around" work ethos. That, or over-doing it wasn't going to fit into the time and materials budget.
