SLEEP - when do you start, how long, and when do you get up?
- Thread starter ELiTECH
- Start date
This! This is what I'm aiming for, I work better in the mornings too and 8 hours of sleep would be great, seeing as I'm a student, and the more sleep you get the better your brain functions.
Yeah, those are the kind of hours I got most of last year, due to assignments set by uni and leaving a lot of work last minute.
This is exactly me, but this apparently because your body takes a while to adjust to your new sleep routine, so getting more/less sleep than usually get, can make you feel tired, it certainly does with me.
Yeah, it's annoying when you have to meet a deadline, especially when you're working at a computer, the blue wavelength of light from the screen is what supposedly keeps you up for longer than usual, and is also the cause of eye strain. (I find myself lowering my monitor brightness, the eye pain gets bad,
)Sounds like you had a ridiculously busy day, but looks like you did get a lot done, my days are much less productive when I'm at home and that's on a day off. But around 5 hours of sleep and being up that early is crazy, I don't think I've even woken up at 3 in the morning.
I can tell, with a post count of 86,514 it certainly looks like you get a lot done during your day.In general in bed around 2230 and up around 0600. Weekend around 2300 up at 0700 which is fab to have a bit of a lie in.
I like getting up and getting on with my day.

Generally asleep by 11 and up before 7. Work a 40 hour week with an hours commute each day. Also studying 2 nights a week (6 hours a week total) which can be challenging when you have other things that need doing.

Bed by about 23:00, up around 07:45. I find as I've reached the end of my twenties I need a bit more sleep than I did when I was younger.

the biggest pain for me is waking around 4 or 5am and then that feeling of needing the loo creeps in
lie there trying to ignore it then have to get up and go

Up at 6, leave house at 6.20 on train at 6.40, desk at 7.45...bed at 10.30/11. No real hardship to be honest. You get used to it the rewards are worth it.

When I'm at work I'll be sleeping for about 21:00 and get up at around 04:30-05:30. I'll be at my desk for 06:00, I'll get off shift at around 20:30 and will rinse and repeat for 3 weeks solid, 21 days in a row.
I'll get home and will start a new pattern, in bed around midnight and get up around 07:00. Rinse and repeat for another 3 weeks solid. I'll do a deal with the wife to get a long lie a few days during my time home, but find it difficult to sleep past 09:00.
I remember sleeping to midday when I was in my twenties, but I could never do that now even if I wanted to.

Haha, that's amazing man, I've never been gym in my life, really need to start going though, I'm 23 and lazy.
Bed 12 - 1am, alarm is set for 8.15am most days but i am constantly waking up around 7am which wrecks my sleep.
A lot of people here getting up around 6am which is mental
5am here
Re-reading what I wrote, I can understand why you took it the wrong way, sorry, I didn't mean it like that at all, I wasn't being sarcastic, I genuinely meant you get a lot done. Sorry if it offended you.Yup. Gym, 10+hrs at work, 3hrs of commuting, family time, a bit of DIY, a bit of studying.
