I too am wide awake after 4 hours of sleep. Pop out of bed, no fatigue during the day and when I lie down I fall asleep within seconds. It has definitely helped with my depression as not being to sleep the recommended 8 hours was increasing my anxiety. I was certain that something must be wrong me. Now I just enjoy my extra time.
MDW on the other hand needs about 9, so she needs more than twice the sleep I do.
Wonder if diet plays role? I follow the MWLP because I feel it helps with my depression and OCD except I don't eat the 1 cup of beans, instead I eat more starches. The more starches, the easier my mental health is to address. MDW follows the standard american diet. Maybe her body needs more recovery time?
I must also credit the simplicity. I have found that the simple I live, the easier it is for me to survive.
