Well there you go. I’m going to start sleeping less. Sometimes I get a nice jump on a night’s sleep and stay in bed until the last minute. I’ve been doing it a lot recently.
I just got a new bike on Monday, so I’ll get up earlier and hit the road instead. I don’t want to die to early!
i am surprisingly somewhere near their goodish range.
i usually go to sleep between 12:45 and 2am, and get up by 8.
If they’re claiming 7 hours to be the best amount of sleep, does that still mean that going to bed at 1am and waking up at 8am is okay?
Or is it better to sleep from 10pm to 5am?
i’m sure they’ve got a lot of reasons for one way or the other. (if it’s not dark when you go to sleep, your body doesn’t produce as much melatonin! omgz noooo!)
i don’t really care about that, though. in my perfect world, i’d sleep from 5am to noon. it’s just the time that my body is most comfortable being asleep.
(in fact i don’t really care about their ranges of sleep times, either; i was just surprised that what i’m doing fits it.)
I’m usually asleep from 12:30 to 7. Sometimes I’m out or dose myself with caffeine and stay awake until 1:30 or 2. If I do, I usually end up paying this back by suddenly passing out on the couch at 10:30 a couple days later. Bodies are weird.
Overall, I rarely snooze longer than 8 or 9 hours on a weekend. Once my eyes snap open in the morning (usually around 9:30 or 10) it’s very difficult for me to fall back asleep.
My body prefers the same schedule, Mags, as we’ve discussed many times. WHich is a shame, because I really enjoy the sun. I just find my brain works best at night.
Yeah Maggie I’m like you, if I didn’t have to be up to go to work I’d end up staying up until 3 or 4 and sleeping until 11.
But now I go to bed around 12:30-1:30 and wake up at 6:30. Ugh.
the sun and i aren’t particularly friends, either, but it’s true: the night is the best for inventing.
i either have insomnia and am up all night and get up late. or i go to sleep at 11pm and get up at 1pm. either way i guess im gonna die.
