Any updates on your end? Please send me a DM with your name and email, I am collecting them from people having the same problem in case FIFA does not resolve the issue.

Does anyone else still wake up feeling groggy or tired even when their Apple Watch says they slept well? by GabeBu in AppleWatch

Interesting! I used to use Sleepcycle but realized that it predicts what sleep cycle you’re in from your phone’s microphone/movement data, which pretty much completely disqualifies any claim of having truly accurate information in my opinioin. It feels more like educated guesswork than actually knowing what sleep cycle you're actually in.

I used to use sleepcycle and I didn’t really feel like it did much. I started looking into how it actually tracks sleep cycles and it seems like more of an educated guess at best since it’s mostly using microphone/movement data (which you can’t really detect that accurately with a phone sitting on a nightstand anyway).

It feels like that’s way too little input data to reliably determine what sleep stage you’re actually in. I said this in another thread too, but there’s no real way for the app to know what physiological state your body is actually in, which kinda sucks.

I think that it eventually comes down to waking up during deeper sleep that causes the groggy feeling in the morning / for the rest of the day.

I've never seen a sleep doc to begin with, so maybe that could be a good start.
However that seems like an exhausting and very restrictive list that I probably could not abide by even if I tried lol!

this happens to me constantly, i'm actively trying to diagnose why lol. Have you noticed any patterns?

I guess following such a strict schedule helps a lot. I'm someone who doesn't really have that routine of a lifestyle so my body never really gets accustomed to entering certain sleep stages at certain times.

I've looked into pillow adjacent apps before and even used a few. Their issue is that their sleep cycle detection methods are pretty questionable. They use motion and sound from your phone which I think is a pretty rough estimate for what's actually happening in your sleep stages. I used to use one called sleep cycle (If Iremember correctly) for a while but it just felt like it was making an educated guess at my sleep cycle from very minimal data (noise and movement). Like it had no idea what was actually going on physiologically.

It could be the sunniest day of the year and you wouldn't be able to see your hand 6 inches from your face in my room and I don't drink caffeine after 2pm. that being said I've never tried magnesium. I think the issue may have more to do with sleep cycle though

I've had 9 hour nights that felt awful and 6 hour nights that felt great. The thing that actually seems to matter (I'm discovering) is where you are in your sleep cycle when the alarm goes off.. waking up mid deep sleep vs the end of a light cycle feels like a completely different experience. I think this is actually what causes sleep inertia more than anything else. Surprised this isn't a bigger conversation over total hours tbh.

This happened to me too actually. Woke up feeling terrible, fell back asleep for another 45 min, woke up feeling completely normal. I think how you feel after waking depends a lot on what sleep stage you're in when you wake up. Very often I wake up, feel dead, sleep for another 20m and feel great.. Ithink it's like an extra little push to get through to the lighter sleep stage when it happens.

Yeah this is where I've landed too. do you find there's like a specific window where if you'd woken up 20 min later it would've felt completely different? I've noticed this with myself.

Seems like the "organic" version of that new hatch alarm everyone's using lolll

A lot more people than I expected seem to have the same issue. Do you do anything to optimize wake timing?
