My digestion won't support 8 hours of uninterrupted anything. I'm up 2-3 times every night, as though I had a young child, but I'm single. Some nights, I'll be up for an hour or more, then return to bed for "second sleep".
I suffer from nocturia (diagnosed as non pathological after many rounds of tests all turning up negative). In a typical night I get five hours max of contiguous sleep and have started sleeping (by that I mean the in bed duration) nine to ten hours as an attempt to compensate for not being able to stay asleep.
I've always been curious about the difference between time spent in bed and actual time in deep sleep and their equivalence (or exchange factor).
Have you also resulted in increasing how long you are in bed to compensate?
Sometimes it's simpler to watch an hour of YouTube (or post on HN, upvotes are easier at night), than to get up and lay back down several times.
The app pauses sleep tracking when it can tell you're awake. This makes it annoying to see I've been sleeping from 9pm until 7am, and only got 6.5 hours of sleep.
Is there a possibility for failure in seeking medical care?
Waking up 2-3 times every night due to digestion issues doesn't sound healthy or natural.
>it's unhealthy to sit for 8 hours, so it's probably not healthy to lay for 8 hours.
It's less unhealthy than not getting that sleep.
