Are you tired all the time when you're awake? If so then you need to see a doctor, it's probably something physiological that's out of whack.
Are you in bed awake and half-awake, or are you actually sleeping? If you're up but still in bed, you probably need to incentivize yourself to get out of it when you wake up, and orient your living space to steer you away from the bed.
If it feels like you're not getting good quality sleep, maybe there's something interfering with it.
Im not really anymore tired than usual when im awake.
If Im in bed I legit sleep 16- 19h just with like about 4-5 breaks inbetween. The breaks are anything from 1-5 minutes and I barely leave the sleep properly. Except for when I wake up to turn of alarms and probably 1 break for going to the toilet.
This is followed by staying awake for what is basically 20+h . I will usally nap 1-2 times in that time frame though . Naptime is 90min to 120min at most
Mind you this is a recent development. Which I hope to fix with a vacation coming next week.
In theory I only need to work today (Im awake and ready for work) and I need to work on Friday (so I have thursday to sleep)
This sounds rather like a longer or dilated chronotype then.
If you're not sleeping 19 hours out of every day, but instead doing something like 24 on and 16 off, who's to say there's something wrong with that? Except when/if there are regular obligations that you have to attend to.
