Title: How F'd up is your SLEEP CYCLE?
Post by: XxNemesis29xX on July 29, 2009, 10:09:12 pm
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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

Post by: Bobberticus on July 30, 2009, 04:14:35 am
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 :(

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!

Despite the early start having a job still makes your sleeping patterns more consistent, he has to get up at the same time.

Post by: bonermobile on July 30, 2009, 05:11:42 am
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.

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.
Title: How F'd up is your SLEEP CYCLE?
Post by: Marge on July 30, 2009, 08:50:44 am
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ;_;!!!

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.

 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.
