Getting physically ill from waking up early
I work from home now, so my schedule is whatever I make it. All weekend, I deprived myself from sleep to spend time with my kids. This is becoming sort of routine. We split custody, and I don't want to miss time with them, so I don't sleep much from Friday to Monday. Last night, I was so sleep deprived, I fell asleep at 10pm and woke up at 6:30 this morning. I felt like puking. This has been the case my entire life. I can remember being in school as a kid, feeling sick every morning until about 11am. When I sleep on a schedule my choosing, say 4am-noon, I never get sick.
I don't understand how it works. 8 hours of sleep during daylight hours feels fantastic, 8 hours of equal quality sleep at night makes me wake up feeling sick. Anybody else deal with something like this? Suggestions? Advice for those rare days when I do have to get up before 8am?
