Why You Wake Up Tired Even After a Full Night of Sleep
SLEEP
Waking up tired after a full night in bed is one of the most frustrating sleep problems. It feels like your body ignored the rules.
The reason is simple. You slept, but you did not recover.
Sleep Cycles Matter More Than Hours
Your body cycles through light sleep, deep sleep, and REM sleep multiple times per night. The final hours of sleep are when REM dominates.
When sleep is fragmented, REM gets cut short.
Heat is one of the most common causes of this fragmentation.
Micro-Awakenings You Never Remember
Most people wake up multiple times per night without remembering it.
Each micro-awakening:
• Shortens REM sleep
• Resets sleep depth
• Increases next-day fatigue
Overheating is the primary trigger.

Why Cooling Improves Morning Energy
Cooling stabilizes sleep cycles. It keeps your body from waking itself up to cool down.
This is why users of Good Sleep and Eight Sleep often report better mornings within days.
The key is not the technology. It is the temperature control.

Fixing the Root Cause
If you wake up tired, stop chasing sleep duration. Fix sleep continuity.
