So there have been bouts where my sleep cycle has been bad. Like, going to bed at 5am, and waking up at around 1pm. Which isn't super bad really. Now however, I'm on a vacation up to boston, we're consistently sleeping at 10am, and waking up at 6pm. Pretty epic fails every time we get up. How abnormal is this? I have a feeling you guys' sleep cycles are pretty bad too.
-
Mines pretty normal actually.
-
i go from like
offshore: go to bed at 10pm, wake up at 5:30am
home: go to bed at like 11pm-2am and waking up at 9am-11am
so not too bad i guess
-
on days that I have to work I go to bed at about 11 and wake up at about 8am but if I don't have to work the next day I'll probably go to bed around 1am and wake up anywhere from 9 to noon.
edit: PS. this schedule becomes completed fucked once school starts though
-
Mine is terrible at the moment. Got up at 5pm today.
-
Mine is pretty decent! I go to sleep between 11 and 12 and get up between 8 and 9:30. I get a good amount of sleep and I can cope if I ever have to get up just that fraction earlier. I like it.
-
I haven't had a normal sleep cycle since '05, before my rank 14 grind in WoW. I can't consistently go to bed before 1-2am, nor can I wake up before 12-1pm on weekends (without being completely useless).
-
Question to people with totally wierdo beardo sleep cycles: What does whoever you live with think of this? And how are you eating patterns? Like, how do you do normal everyday things catered to people who are awake from 7-11 like most people.

opposite for me. if I wake up late I feel like shit all day and I get extremely lazy.
-
I go to bed around 1-3am and get up at 8:30am :p unless I'm not working then I get up at 11am
-
I don't get off work until 2am so I usually just stay up until like 5-6am and wake up around 2-3pm
-
start watchin netflix around 4am, go to bed 6-7am, wake up at 1-2pm
-
i don't sleep, i jone fools (iu can jone fools in my sleep)
-
Vacations: sleep by 5am, wake by 12:30pm
Normal: sleep by 1am, wake by 8am

-not much.
-eat when hungry
-you don't
-
Go to bed around 10:30 PM (or later, just depends on how tired I am), wake up around 8 AM. Pretty unfucked up, unlike the rest of you weirdos.
-
Right now I'm going to bed at around 2 am, and waking up at 8/9 am in the morning. I've gotten used to just getting 6/7 hours a sleep a night.
-
I typically go to sleep between 1-3 am, and wake up somewhere between 10-11:30.
It's not too bad, but once college starts, I'm not gonna be happy. I have like the biggest change in personality between well-rested and sleep-deprived in the world.

not necessarily, I mean I tend to stay up later but that is because I am most productive after about 10pm
-
On vacations, my sleep cycle gets fucked up really bad. Like you, I may end up sleeping by 10am and waking up by 6pm or something. :/

easy way to fix a bad sleep schedule: get a job

I usually go to bed between 10pm-11pm and wake up around 3am.

what do you do grunthor

Manage a store. I have to be in by 4am to set up for the day.
-
Totally screwed up lately, but I'm going to try to get it right so I can get more things done. So I'll be logging off soon...
-
How much of these bad sleeping habits are attributed to an addiction to the internet? I wouldn't normally bring this point up but this is the internet so I figure I'd ask.
-
In a supertribal environment there is nothing interesting to do in the morning, before electricity was invented there was nothing interesting to do in the night so people didn't have this brand of sleeping "problem"
-
SUPERTRIBAL
that reminds me of my brother he describes all forms of music as either TRIBAL or MAD FUTURE

go to the post office duh

I get like 5-6 hours of sleep every night just because I always stay up late.
-
Go to sleep around 1, wake up around 10.
Or, on the rare occasion that I work, I go to bed around 10, and get up at 7 or whatever.
In the September I will have another shitty semester where I have to get up at 6am every second day, and every other day i will probably end up waking up at 10 or something, resulting in a horribly broken sleep schedule where I don't fall asleep properly at night. This is what I did last time I had such an early start :(
-
My sleep is pretty fucked most of the time I sleep at 2-3 am and wake up at 9-10 or 11 am. Oh sometimes I get insomnia! :fogetangry:
-

-
I usually sleep around midnight. Sometimes even at 3 AM! Then I wake up feeling like shit at 10-11 AM. I especially hate feeling how fucked up I am when I stay up so long, but then sleep at 7 AM or so and then wake up in the afternoon. Pretty fucking gay. If I can sleep atleast around midnight, I have 7-8 hours, so I wake up in time to get ready for work if I have one!
-
Unless
Despite the early start having a job still makes your sleeping patterns more consistent, he has to get up at the same time.
-
i have the worst sleep schedule in the world. one night i'll go to bed at 7am after being up the whole night, then wake up at noon or 1pm or something, and go back to sleep at 9pm. i basically wake up or go to bed at any hour of the day. its terrible and i've been trying to work on it but haven't been overly succesful, although i did manage to go to bed before midnight and wake up before 10 for a week or two.
once i start classes in the fall it won't be as bad though.
-
I somehow always wake up at 5:50 every morning regardless of what time I went to bed.
-

The point is he sleeps like 3 hours per day which is abnormal for most people and is also a form of sleep disorder
-
My sleep habits have always been sub-par. On average, I used to get 5 to 6 hours of sleep a night. Killed me through highschool, I'd sleep through half my classes. Been doing a lot better with that though. Now I tend to get 7 to 8 hours. It's amazing what a few extra hours can do...
Speaking of sleep... *dozes off*
-
Does over-sleeping mess you up as much as under-sleeping? I've noticed that dozing off after my natural 7-8 hours can be pretty bad.
-
It definitely does. If I sleep too much or too late I don't wake up and feel morning dozy for the whole day. Untill around 9pm, when I always get some kind of energy boost. It's really annoying. I feel bored and shitty and "Why shouldn't I just go to bed, nothing to do" and then around 9pm I suddenly cheer up and feel like taking over the world. Which means I stay up till 2-3am and feel shitty again the next day because I sleep late.
My friend once turned his sleep cycle around, full 24 hours forward. Took only a few days I think. He also didn't eat for 48 hours once, just to try how it feels. A great man, a great man.
-
It's been hard to go to sleep as of lately, with this heat wave and all. And because I work nights, I find myself going to bed around 2:30 - 3 A.M. I get up at 6:30 A.M. Then fall asleep at 7:30 A.M. Get up at 10 A.M. Seems to be the plan as of late.
But yeah, stupid heat wave has screwed up my sleeping patterns a bit. I'm waiting for the harsh winter to return.
-
Since I joined the military I typically go to bed around 1-130 and wake up at 630. I work out just fine, my body is just used to it by now.
-
I'm about the same as summoner, actually I think that's pretty normal
-
I go to bed lately at about 10:30 and wake up at 8am. at uni my sleeping pattern was pretty irregular sometimes pulling all nighters for no particular reason. I hate doing it and much prefer how it is now. and yeah, getting a job will usually sort you out as you have to get up so you go to bed at a normal time so you're not tired in the morning
-
Since I'm on my summer vacation, that means no school, which is accompanied by a really fucked sleeping schedule. For the past month or two, I've been going to sleep at around 9-10 am and waking up at around 6 pm. I wake up, eat dinner, then stay up all night again. It's not too bad, since I kind of prefer the nighttime hours to the day. Also, since I'm a loser with no real social life to speak of, I don't miss out on much anyhow.
-
Usually 4am up at 11am or something. Work work.
-
I don't have one. Its all over the fucking place. But I'm trying to adjust it to be more normal now.
-

yeah I don't know if this is actually true or not, but I always kind of figured that if you shot a few below the recommended 7-8 hours and were consistent about it, it was better than being all over the map on weekends trying to catch up by sleeping 10 hours or something suddenly. I definitely get used to less hours during the school year pretty quick, so I've kind of based my conclusion from that.
-
I go to bed at around 8:30-9:00 pm and wake up at 4:30 when I work and now I feel like an old man
-
I keep staying up until 6, not being able to go to bed, and staying up and going to bed at 11pm and writing really huge run-on sentences.
-
that's easy
holidays / free days / days off from school: i don't sleep. at the moment i'm really spent i'll fall asleep automatically and in those cases the length of my sleep is pretty random. when i wake up i go on with the usual life until i fall asleep again
school days: sleep on 11/12 am, till 6 pm
-
I am so glad im starting to break mines down.
While waiting for my fall semester to start my schedule completely fucked itself up. Mostly because of CoD4, wow, and a few other things.
2 days ago i fell asleep at 8am, woke up at 2pm
yesterday i fell asleep at 5am, woke up at 4pm(very long sleep)
but today I fell asleep at 1am and woke up fresh and new at 9am. I guess what helped me a ton was finishing a 30 minute work-out at around 10-11, took a fresh shower, played with the lappy for a little bit, and was knocked out.
I guess tiring your body out, refrehing it, and letting it rest will really do the trick to fixing sleeping patters.
-
i usually force myself to sleep when bakugan brawlers comes on at 530, wake up and get to work about 15 minutes late at 3:15. I get off at 1130 though so the only time i ever go to bed at a reasonable time is when i haul my ass to last call and get too trashed to play video games.
also marge i go without eating for 2-3 days about once a month. i get a sick day about that often and i almost always use it sitting around doing nothing, so i assume i don't get hungry because i'm not using any energy.
-
You get ill once a month? What happened to your immune system?
-
my sleep cycle is fucked now that i just got back from iraq. i think the jet lag's starting to wear off, though. plus, we've been having all these wildfires here, so the ash clouds drift over the town and really mess with my respiratory system. hopefully that goes away soon :(
edit: who am i kidding my sleep cycle was fucked up in iraq because i was night shift and i slept with the lights on and next to a chronic masturbator
-
Mine was pretty normal.
Go to sleep between 11pm-2am and wake up from 7am-10am usually.
But I just got a new job that's a night shift ( 12am-8am) and its only 4-5days a week. its gonna fuck my sleep schedule sideways.
I'll be going to bed 9am till 2-3pm 4 to 5 days a week and The rest of the days I'll be on a regular sleep schedule as my Girlfriend whom I live with, her work schedule is 8am-6pm so her days off I'll be spending a lot of time with her.
-
I spend 3/4 of the year being forced to get up at 6am for work, going to bed at around 1-3am depending on how much shit I have to do. For the other 1/4 though my schedule gets seriously messed up. Like the past two weeks - I got up at like 4pm yesterday, so I'm not bloody tired at the second.
It takes DISCIPLINE to reorganise your schedule, but alas - discipline requires motivation ;_;!!!
-
Lately I've been going to bed around 3:30 AM and getting up at like 2 PM, which is a lot of sleep but somehow never seems like enough.
-
perhaps it is because you are sleeping... too much
-
That's just 10 and a half hours it's not too much
-
Since I don't have morning classes during the summer, I sleep from like 3-11, which is roughly the amount of sleep I should be getting anyway.
Otherwise I might sleep from like 11-6:30. Somehow this feels millions worse though, and I'm all groggy until nearly 12 in the day.
-

nono i mean i get a paid sick day and it's useless if i don't use it so i take a day off and do nothing
-

I can tell you one thing, going to bed at 10am and waking up at 3am makes it impossible to go back to sleep, effectively screwing up your sleep cycle even further (at least for me ).
-

Man, anything over 8 is like DANGEROUS for you. I think it makes you have a stroke or something!!!!!
To be fair though, I regularly get 5, 4 or sometimes 3 hours of sleep during term time. I am like ZOMBIEMAN for hours and shit.
Thankfully I can do the journey to work without actively engaging my brain.
