It feels that there are different types of tired - when you slept badly but long enough and when you slept fine but too short (and both). There should be different words for them.

How do you feel sleeping badly but long enough vs fine but too short?

@TeachMeCode

Slept bad:
- able to do all physical tasks normally, bad at mental challenging tasks
- even more grumpy and anti social than my normal state of mind
- desire to kill other ppl

Slept not enough:
- can do physical and mental tasks but only for a very limited amount of time
- rather sad, fearful und easily overwhelmed
- desire to kill myself

@horus my sleep demons are here and I didn’t eat enough garlic

Bad-long-enough sleep sounds like you are waking up in the middle of REM sleep, aka you can sleep for the recommended 7-8 hours, but if you wake up during one of your 90 min REM sleep intervals, you are still gonna wake up like a corpse.

It's called "Sleep inertia"

The not long enough one is just Sleep deprivation.

The combined one is called "InjectCaffeineStraightIntoMyVein-iosis"

@dakkarant Sleep inertis, yes? i just thought it's called parenting.

Sleeping well for too long also kinda sucks tbh

My bed is a massive wood bed. Definitely not easy to move.

It stands on a carpet which has rubberized undercoating...

Makes it theoretically even hard to move.

Things no one usually believes except my ex boyfriends:

When I sleep badly, I get so active that I move the bed.

Sometimes the bed is moved 10 - 15 cm, so it doesn't even stand on the carpet anymore.

In the past, with another bed, we tried to bolt it down. Result: I broke the bed.

:)

That's my usual indicator for how bad I slept... If the bed is not on the carpet, it's gonna be a very bad day.

Also mental exhaustion Vs physical.

Could have slept like a log but am too emotionally and logically drained
