Thread: When Do You Sleep?

I know I don't keep normal sleep patterns, but I was just PMing with Joed and I just saw CarrieM post. It is currently past midnight their time. And more than once I have been emailing Dylan past 2am his time. I notice that there are many people who keep odd hours on here other than myself. What are your sleep patterns? I'd like to know that I'm not the only one before I admit what I do.
BTW I only log off SRP when my cell phone dies.

i have very odd sleep hours.. generally sleep between 3am and 7am.. then again around 1pm to 4pm.

sometimes i skip the day sleep. but i get really frapped if i do.

I'm supposed to be sleeping now, cause I have an appoint tomorrow morning. Since I'm my own boss, I set my own hours... for the most part. I usuall go to bed around 2 or 3 and wake up around 10 or 11. Lots of fun late night on the chat.

I hate getting into bed before I'm dead tired, cause I feel like waiting to fall asleep is a waste of time. But on the flip side, I hate getting out of bed in the morning (though I'm finally learning that I have to actually get out of bed whenever I wake up, cause if I don't I feel terrible for several hours).

Well, it's now 1am... I'm generally up until 2am, then sleep until around 9 or 10 am (This being my schedule for summer... I'm a student). Although I have been known to do without sleep for a day or two when I don't feel tired, or when I'm on a honing binge... Generally when I'm honing I do it from midnight until whenever it's done, then go to sleep...

Very sporadic sleep patterns, more so during the school year.

There is always the "SRP-ers Anonymous" and the doctor is always in (24/7)...well, it's actually an outsourced outfit in Mumbai .

Most of us are, to some degree or another, addicted to this info...there's NO hope for us man. Someone save us from ourselves . I don't know what to do ...I am tired and can't sleep!!!!!

I figure that I can get all the sleep I need when I'm dead.

I grew up on a dairy farm. In order to get all the work done and still make it to school on time, I had to get up at 4:30 AM from age 12 until I went to college. Decades later I still wake up early. The problem is that I cannot get to sleep unless my wife is in the bed and she just won't got to bed until 1:30 to 2:00 AM. I've tried with no luck to get her to shift her bedtime and she just can't/won't do it.
We are completely incompatible in this regard. I wake up at about 5 AM every morning and then lay there and try to get back to sleep until 6:30 AM when I get up. That means I get, at best, 5 hours of sleep every night. Usually it's less than 4. After doing this for a decade, I figure I am simply brain damaged.

Sleep? what is this sleep you speak of?

Actually I've inherited insomnia and sleep apnea from my genes. I would hardly call the sleep I get any kind of a pattern, but I do fill up on sleep when I can.

I sleep when I'm in my coffin.

When I was at Uni it was very random. Sometimes I'd pull all nighters, or I'd sleep from 4am till midday or something. Other days I'd be in bed really early around 7pm and then get up at 5am.

Now I'm working I tend to be a lot more fixed in pattern. I tend to go to bed between 11pm and 1am depending on how tired I am, and I usually get up at 5.30/6am, and then I'm in the office just before 8.

That way I have enough time to feed the cats, enjoy a proper straight razor shave, get dressed, get my stuff together and catch the Tube and still get to work on time.

Summer time sleep is usually from 10pm to 4am for me and winter time sleep is usually 11pm till as long as I can stay in bed (Usually I'm lucky if that's 7am), most often it's 6am, once it was 9am though. I used to be up by 4.30am everyday but my work hours have been in flux for some time. As of today though I can get it back to normal...I have been relieved of any further duties until such time as I find a more suitable role...Self-employed for the time being
