Early to bed, early to rise

Blackmask · 11-13-2007, 03:24 AM

Well I'm getting back into the routine of getting up in time to go to work every day. My hours are still vague since I've got all the induction stuff going on so kind of have to be there when they've planned for me to meet people and learn stuff. At the moment it's up at 5:30am, but I'll gradually make it earlier to keep the dog happy with a morning walk. To bed at 10:30pm after my TV shows finish.

What kind of hours does everyone keep? Do those who don't work or study have the luxury of sleeping until midday?

I'm a morning person by nature, I'm usually up by 4:30 on weekdays.

well, I love to sleep in. the thing is I always wanna go to bed early but somehow it´s not working at the moment

**Bill5461** · 11-13-2007, 07:44 AM

My first alarm goes off around 4:15, I try to be on my feet by 5am. I try to get to bed by 10pm. It would be earlier but the dog has to go out around 9. I try to make up for the lack of sleep by grabbing some naps on the weekend.

6:30am to 10:30pm ish.

I'm usually 00:30 to 7:45. BUt had an amazing lie-in this morning. Skipping my lectures today to play scrabble and now going to watch daytime tv all afternoon (I know such a rebel)!

I'm still stuck in my 26h day cycle. Currently I'm at the beginning of the night active phase that will peak the day after tomorrow. Next week I'll be an early riser for two days again.

are you still alive and human Samson?

Samson The Cat · 11-13-2007, 02:20 PM

Both. But I see your point. I'm not happy with my inner clock either.

**Ophelia** · 11-13-2007, 02:39 PM

^hey, that was funny.

aloha · 11-13-2007, 02:41 PM

uh oh, you shoudl better change, although I´m also awake very long at the moment, but I have a reason

but my days still has not 26 h, I guess, it´s normal time, like 14h or so being awake

Cat · 11-13-2007, 02:44 PM

I'm so bad at going to bed at night. Getting up is okay, I mean, it's easier. But going to bed is awful. I usually fall asleep around 2am and wake up at 7am. So the days I'm off (Mondays and Fridays) I have no problem sleeping in and getting up at 2pm-3pm. Or even later if I let myself. It's horrible and I should really change that habit. Especially now that winter's coming and we only get a few hours of daylight every day.

I don't like napping.

No, I meant my whole day cycle (day and night combined) is almost 26h long.

It's good to have a reason for being awake.

Maybe. Napping is awful. I feel broken when I wake up. I'm cold, I feel dizzy and..weird. Napping makes me feel worse.

Blackmask · 11-13-2007, 03:32 PM

^ I'm the same. It's that first waking up tired thing all over again. I'd rather just stay tired until it's time for a full night sleep.

I blame YouTube and Wikipedia. No, but seriously I heard that quite a lot people have inner clocks that with 25h days. Explains, why so many are longer awake in afternoons than they are in mornings and why they don't like to get out of bed in the morning ... or why they have less trouble with changing from daylight saving time to standard time than the other way around. I'm confident my cycle will normalize next year when I will have a work.

After all it was ok, up until the last term of university where I had to attend readings. So far I haven't even been trying to do something against my "condition".

**Val** · 11-13-2007, 08:31 PM

Well, I really love my bed! I needed to have born as a lion just to sleep 10, 12 hours a day.
I wake up at 10 o'clock, go to the radio at 12 and back home at 18. My life is really busy!
