Sleep

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

I feel there was already a topic for it, buuuuuuuuut...

 

What is your sleep schedule like? When do you go to sleep? When do you wake up? Do you use an alarm? Do you require medicinal sleep aids?

[宇佐見 蓮子@C94]

Sleep schedhule has been very consistent for me, and I plan on keeping it that way. Turn in at 10 PM, wake up at 4-4:30. Maaaaaybe 5 AM if I'm extra tired. Havent used an alarm ever, for some reason

[King K. Azo]

Sleep? What's that?

[Tojin]

Probably a thing I should do. G'night.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

So for me sleep fluctuates. I have stretches where I wake up before noon and go to bed maybe 1-2 AM. But I always have one day where I'm up later or sleep longer and it throws me off totally. It's really frustrating and it doesn't help with trying to actually schedule things.

[AGATHODAIMON BANGTAIL COW]

Sleep is for the weak!

 

Srstho: Normally, I try to sleep some time between a little after midnight and a little after 1. When I don't have somewhere to go in the morning, I'll stay up until 2 on weeknights and Saturday (90s Are All That for the weekdays, an 80s metal radio show for Saturday). And then, without fail, if I'm on break for a long time, I always become nocturnal. Sometimes, I'll fix my schedule, only for it to flip again. This is happening to me right now. Happy 4:48 AM, everyone.

What is your sleep schedule like?

When do you go to sleep?

When do you wake up?

Do you use an alarm?

Do you require medicinal sleep aids?

1. It depends for the most part.

 

School nights suck, because I go to sleep late and end up having to wake up at 4 am for the purpose of taking the early bus to college.

Yeah, about 3-4 hours max on school nights. I get a short amount of sleep in the college lounge, but that gets broken by some loud students.

 

Breaks (like now), I can stay up later and wake up later also (assuming I have no appointments that day).

 

2. School nights, probably 12-1 am in the morning on average. (I am going to try sleeping at 11 pm, so I have more sleep)

Breaks and weekends, same thing

 

3. See above.

School: 4:15 am (I'd get up later if traffic + bus service didn't suck)

Breaks: 10-11 am (depends)

Weekends: 7:30 - 7:45 am usually

 

4. For school days, definitely.

Other times, I wake self up.

Weekends, sometimes parents do it (and a few of those times, I'm not really happy when they do)

 

5. I don't need them, so no.

[Azure Wolf]

I usually go to bed at around 10/11ish and depending on what I've been doing that day will usually fall asleep within 1-2 hours. For a while I managed to get a nice solid block of sleep from around 10-5 but now it varies.

[Slinky]

I sleep whenever I feel like it, and wake up whenever I feel like it.

No alarms, no nothing.. just pure sleep.

[ihop]

1. Pretty consistent with minor fluctuations, but it's different during schooltime to what it is during holidays. 

2. Between 1 and 2.30 AM during holidays, between 11.30 and 12 when I actually have to get up early.

3. Like, 11 AM when I don't need to get up for anything, otherwise about half an hour to an hour before I need to leave.

4. When I need to get up early, yes.

5. No, but I do have trouble getting to sleep during warm nights (but doesn't everyone)

[Maeriberii Haan]

My sleep schedule is a huge mess. Either I do stuff until 00 and sleep until 3-4 or I sleep at 8 and wake up at 1-2 to do stuff, then I get some 2 hours naptime during worktime. It really depends on whether my wife comes home late or not, since unless she's not coming home that night I usually try to get myself to stay up until she's home.

 

In holidays and weekends the mess is even worse, but I get a lot more sleep overall so all's fine.

[(GigaDrillBreaker)]

My own sleep schedule is a mess, based upon the fact that I am pretty much incapable of staying asleep for a little over an hour at any given time, unless extremely exhausted (entire day spent out with friends and I can sleep a good 15 hours straight. Feel funking incredible when I wake up.)

 

I have tried various medications to assist with sleep. None of them really help prevent me from waking up, but zzzquill (which is essentially nyquil without the cold medicine) knocks me the funk out when I really, really need it. Otherwise I usually use melatonin tablets.

[Miror B]

People have a sleep schedule?

I just sleep whenever I feel like I'm too tired for anything else.

Or when it's midnight and I work at 7 am.

[Shalltear Bloodfallen]

While I do have a pretty decent sleep schedule atm (6-7 hours on average), I'd be lying if I said it wasnt pretty much specificly because of work and me needing to sleep a set ammount of hours to not just pass out while I'm working. Prior to being employed however, not living under my parents roof, and before beginning to deal with some psychological BS left over from my uppbringing.... well, let's just say, sleep was not a word in my vocabulary.

 

Now I sleep 6-7 hours on average (10-11pm to 5am), thanks to work and minor medical help.

Before that, the only times I slept were when my body physicly couldnt handle staying awake any longer.

[Queen of the Abyss]

I tend to be up til like 3-4AM, get up at 10. I used to do more 11 get up at 9, but my sleep schedule got messed up after a few months of clubbing and college messing that up big time

[Sixty]

As someone off of college for the summer and nothing better to do, I sleep whenever and wake up whenever, only getting up early if necessary.

 

Who am I kidding, even in school I slept whenever and awoke whenever.

[Toffee.]

I go to bed at like 4-4:30AM after waking up at like 11:10AM

....Unless I have work in the morning.

[Sethera]

Whenever on my own schedule, I naturally go nocturnal. Idk, I just really love being awake at night. Feels peaceful (cuz everybody else is asleep) and I like looking at the stars. Daytime is nice too though, so idk.

 

I also have insomnia, so it's super hard to get to sleep. Generally, even if I feel exhausted, I still can't get to sleep. The only way I can sleep generally is to stay up for hours longer than most people do, and be so tired that I fall asleep when my head hits the pillow. Naturally, this makes it difficult to keep a constant sleep schedule.

 

I use melatonin when I need to sleep (with limited success), though zzzquil sounds super useful. Never used nyquil in my life, though, so I'm not sure how effective it'd be.

 

School/work days suck. I end up taking catnaps all throughout the day because they're the only way I get any form of rest. Weekends are generally spent catching up on lost sleep.

[Shradow]

My sleep schedule is all over the place, and that's due to the fact I can fall asleep whenever and wherever (I never wake up sore anymore no matter what kind of position I fall asleep in) I want, as well as run perfectly fine on little to no sleep for long periods of time. I basically sleep whenever I feel like it, and I am about as heavy a sleeper as you can get. I can go to sleep in the noisiest of environments and I've slept through earthquakes, fire alarms, my friends trying to physically shake me awake for several minutes, etc. However, my body has the uncanny ability to always know when I should be up (for things such as class, work, etc.), because I usually wake up at the perfect time to do what I need to do (though my record's not perfect). Which is good, because I usually sleep through any alarms I set.

 

I also sleep talk (to the extent I hold full conversations with people which I usually don't remember when I wake up), sleep walk, sleep eat (I once walked to the kitchen, made a sandwich, brought it back to bed with me and ate half of it, leaving the other half on a plate next to me in bed for when I woke up the next morning) sleep with my eyes open, takes notes in class in my sleep (the handwriting is often very atrocious, however, and I usually have to rewrite them after the fact), etc.

 

I do really love to sleep, as well.

[Death Bishop]

Currently on holidays so my sleep schedule is absolutely all over the place. I'll go to sleep at 4AM and wake up at something like 1PM. It's not even the Internet that keeps me awake, it's all those god damn feels that start kicking in late at night. God damn, I miss my ex..

[Fusion X. Denver]

I've shirked sleep before (like now, only running on 5-6 hours), but I generally try to aim for 7, give or take an hour. 2 on weekends.

I feel bad for my friends with insomnia though, they always feel off in the morning.

[LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow]

For an example of how bad my sleep schedule is. It's currently 8:15 AM and I haven't slept yet.

[Death Metal]

I am naturally out by 11pm and up by 8am (unless I have work earlier). My body is so use to it that I don't really need an alarm clock but I still set one if I have to work the next day. 

It's extremely hard for me to stay awake past 12am nowadays. 

[GarlandChaos]

I stay up most of the night and go to sleep at, like, 2 AM earliest.

 

I'm not kidding. I grow more and more tired every subsequent morning.

[Sander]

5-6 hours on weekdays. Weekends? Can't say, because it's all so random, but it should be in the range of 10-12 hours, depending on when I actually go to sleep (it's not shocking for me to go to sleep at 4-5 AM the next day is Saturday / Sunday).
