Quantity of sleep does not make up for quality of sleep. Tiredness is a body function that quantity can help. Sleepiness is a brain function that needs quality sleep. If you are waking up feeling lethargic with a need to sleep during the day, it suggest you are not getting quality sleep. The stages of sleep are repeated many times through the night. Proper breathing is necessary for quality sleep.

Caffeine can challenge the struggling brain. Experts suggest only one serving of caffeine per day in the morning or mid-day.

Recover is a big picture issue. Tracking symptoms in the short term is not helpful. Week to week tracking is OK but day to day tracking is not helpful. It just feeds anxiety.
