If I didn't play an MMOG, then I'd probably go to bed somewhat earlier when I had nothing the next day to get up for.

My usual wake up time is somewhere between 4:30am and 6am. If I wake up at 3am or later, I can't get back to sleep. I never sleep in later than 7am (actually, sleeping in give me a headache, so I don't do it, but I never sleep past seven.)

Being unemployed (and on a course) means the alarm goes at 07:30hrs. This does not mean I get up at 07:30hrs. Or that I was asleep at 07:30hrs. I may go to bed at 02:00Hrs but not sleep 'til four or five. Two days later. I'm worse here (at my parents) as once I didn't sleep for three days. I didn't mean to, it's just that I, as the ego, have very little say in what all the rest of me elects to do. That time it did bother to give me ten minutes to undress and get into bed before knocking me out cold for five hours before wiring me awake again. If I had ignored the ten minute warning I would have slept on the bedroom floor with my strides round my ankles.
And this is sober, no drugs other than no more coffee (maybe a lot less in fact) coffee than normal and less tobacco than usual. And a lot of water.

Normally 12/12.30ish through to 8 ish every day whether I set my alarm clock or not. Generally about once a month I find myself completely unable to sleep for no good reason.

Why?

This week I've been off work as too tired/dizzy to cope with the world, so much daytime napping, but I'm not certain how accurate my answers are as it's been a very long time since I had much choice about sleeping/waking times when not ill. I usually get seven-ish hours a night, but this leaves me tired most of the time. What prompted you to do this poll?

I think it is just my busy life that gets me tired

As it's Friday I haven't rushed to bed but feeling very mentally tired now - long tough week at work - so I'll head soon.

During the week I usually head to bed by 11 as I have to be up by 6.30 and I have found as I get older and my life is more demanding mentally I need more sleep. I also now avoid getting very drunk as I feel it screws completly with my sleep patterns and generally wastes my next day. My time is precious and don't want to stay in bed all day on weekends so I'll let myself lie in to give myself a rest (I need my beauty sleep) but get up by 9 so I have a full day to do stuff.

Recently I have been sleeping really badly - that may be due to the trillions of things going on...mum been in hospital, learning to drive as fast as possible, buying a new house, selling the flat and the politics at work being horrendous at the same time as there being mountains of work that I seems to be doing an extra 4 or so hours a week as the norm. - I am restless then go to loo in early hours..then go to sleep and struggle when alarm goes off.

I think I need to find time to either read more or meditate before sleeping

so what prompted the poll?

I work at an academic institute, so I can pick my own hours.

I'm a student, but I wish I could manage my various timetables around my sleep cycle!

[aliiis.livejournal.com]

Being a student, self-employed, or unemployed (if you want to not be) doesn't mean you can manage your lifestyle around your sleep cycle, just fyi!

(I am freelancing currently. It's BAWS)

Alas the allergy in my eyes means that I feel tired pretty much all the time at the moment, so I can't remember what it feels like to get through a day without feeling exceptionally tired.

Yes, I am feeling a little sorry for myself on this subject!

This poll reminds me how much I realy want to be in a job with flexi-time so that I can move back to my normal cycle. lol, and how much I wish I could afford to go down to 4 or 4.5 days per week. It still surprises me how much of an impact the extra hour has on my day to day quality of life.
