Good sleep means waking up without an alarm refreshed and ready to face the world. Good sleep means waking up with less physical pain then when you lied down. Good sleep usually means there was a vivid, but unimportant, dream. Good sleep means I stayed on my back the whole night, and woke up in the same position I went to sleep in.

YMMV Of course



I can't sleep on my back and I usually toss and turn all night and when I wake up, I feel like I need just 3 more hours of sleep.

My mileage does value indeed :))


When I was younger I forced myself to learn to sleep on my back. I can only do it with a contour pillow, not necessarily the brand name one, but any with that contour in it. I can't always do it, but when I do my sleep quality is significantly better.


TIL I don't get good sleep


"waking up without an alarm refreshed and ready to face the world"

Does that actually happen outside of stories?


I dont use an alarm. Haven’t it years. Whether or not I’m refreshed depends on how late I went to bed.


Yep, it is the rule rather than the exception for many who are "natural" deep sleepers. I used to be one of those until I got overweight.


yes, it happens to me most days. Except the ready to face the world part, It's usually more like waking up without an alarm refreshed, and ready to browse HN and watch youtube.

edit: the waking up part didn't happen until I started working from home. I was always over-sleeping when I had to get showered, dressed, and commute every morning.


Hey, it happened plenty for me during the holidays between school and university terms.
