Sleep

[Danenania]

What hours do you usually sleep? Are you consistent? In the past few weeks I have been all over the map. I try to right it but end up overcompensating and get screwed up on the opposite side. Why is this so difficult?

Because you are insane.

You can't change your sleeping patterns from the end of the day. Set an alarm to get you up when you want to get up and go to bed when you are tired. I sleep from 7am til 11:30am though, so don't listen to me.

[Danenania]

Zeno,

Seriously?

it helps.

I've got a constant cycle of sleep what I mean is that every day I go to sleep later and later, and if I have obligations like school or something, I end up having to stay up. I have plenty of practice at this.

[Ulysses]

I have had similar sleep cycle issues all of my life.

[sfer]

Between 5-7 hours a night. And it varies a lot.

[turnipmonster]

my regular pattern is to sleep for 6 hours a night for a while then have a couple of 9 hour nights. rinse and repeat, it is somewhat consistent but not really.

--turnipmonster

[liquidboss]

My sleep varies quite a bit as well. Sometimes I am in bed at 5am, sometimes I'm fast asleep by 11pm.

There seems to be a pattern here, is it normal in today's society for people's sleep patterns to change so much or is this a poker thing?

[TimM]

I hate to stop what ever I am doing and go to sleep. So on weekdays I have to force myself to get to bed around 2AM (sometimes as late as 3AM) so I can get up for work around 8:30 or so. I should be getting up earlier, so I am always late to work. On the weekends I will often stay up until 4-5 AM and sleep till noon or later. Then on Sunday night it becomes hard to get to sleep early enough to get up for work Monday morning.

A lot of people end their day by passively watching TV and falling asleep to it. I hardly watch any TV anymore, and when I choose to do so, it's not something I want to fall asleep for. But with internet access there is never a lack for something to do, and it's interactive enough that you can't fall asleep to it.

Sounds like my life exactly... /images/graemlins/smirk.gif

[Slacker13]

I have major sleeping issues. I can't ever get to sleep and then when I do I don't want to get up. I Usually go to bed around midnight - 1am and usually get to sleep around 2:30-3 and I get up around 9am. It's start to catch up to you after a while so every once in a while I will sleep to noon just to catch up but that's not very often.

[TimM]

The company I work for is doomed, so maybe I will be able to get a lot more sleep soon...

[Schneids]

Never consistent.

Take the past few days:

A few days ago, go to bed at 10am wake up at 6pm, go out, get back to my apartment at 6pm the next day, go to sleep by 7pm until 1am, then again from 4am to 10am the next morning... stay up till 4am that night, wake up at noon, stay up till present 11am, again nearing 24 hours later and getting ready to once again go to sleep...

I know for sure my body is not on a 24 hour day and has not been for a long time. I find it works best when I stay up for 18-24 hours straight, then get 8-10 hours of sleep in.

[Sponger15SB]

I've got a friend who can't fall asleep before like 4AM.

Sounds crazy, but yeah, I'll like be going to bed on the west coast and she is still up in boston.

Sometimes she just stays up all night because she can't sleep.

[ThaSaltCracka]

Sponger,
Thats called insomnia, and its really unheatlthy. She should go to a doctor and get some help.
-TSC, a concerned poster.

[Dr. Strangelove]

I think I'm on like a 27 hour day. I go from waking up at 5am to going to bed at 5 am (and all points in between) several times a month. I woke up at 5:30 pm today and will probably go to bed between 7 and 10 am tomorrow.

[nothumb]

I have trouble going to bed right after I get off work, and I work evenings until 10 PM or 12 AM depending on the day. My schedule gets later as the week goes on (work at noon on Tuesday vs. 4 PM on Saturday) so I just get pushed later and later, invariably stay up until 6 AM or so on Thursday and being awake when my girlfriend gets up for work. She loves this.

Didn't used to be a problem in college since I would rationalize it and start taking drugs to stay up when my whack schedule started to conflict. Can't really do that now that I work regular hours in a residential treatment center. /images/graemlins/shocked.gif And really, wouldn't it be kind of pathetic to be chowing down speed for no reason whatsoever other than neuroses? It's not like it's fun.

[Asnbabe]

sleep is fun...if i felt like it, I could sleep the whole day away....sleeeeeeeeeeeeep /images/graemlins/crazy.gif

[plaster8]

I usually go to bed around 3-4 a.m. and get up around 10-11 a.m.

I've got sleep apnea, so I have to wear a sleep mask that forces air into my nose. It's really annoying, and I often rip it off in the middle of the night because I have dreams that incorporate it (the Germans have captured me and are torturing me, etc.). When that happens, my hours get all screwed up because I don't get quality sleep.

Don't know why I went into all that. Any other apnea victims out there?

[ClassicBob]

Well, it's 6 in the morning, and I can't sleep, even though I've been trying since about 2. I get this insomnia every so often, and it really sucks. It also really screws up my sleep cycle. I'll probably pass out pretty soon though. Just thought I'd share.

[craig r]

I have the same problem TSC. I can't go to sleep most of the time until 5:00-6:00. But, then I will sleep until 12-1. But, I didn't think this was insomnia. I thought insomniacs would go days without sleep sometimes.

In the past few weeks I have been all over the map. I try to right it but end up overcompensating and get screwed up on the opposite side. Why is this so difficult?

I'm totally the same way. Some months I'll find myself on a 30 or so hour day where I just go to sleep and wake up 6 hours later than the day before and have like, 6 day weeks instead of 7. Right now it's 4:15am and I just woke up half an hour ago for no apparent reason. I'll probably stay up till like 2pm and then feel like napping until 8pm or something weird like that. Who knows. Fortunately I rarely NEED to wake up at a certain time, so it's not a problem for me. Back when I used to have to get up in the morning, I didn't have a problem living on 35 hours of sleep a week, so I know I can live a "normal" schedule fine, but why would I if I don't have to if my body doesn't feel like it?

GoT

[scotnt73]

on weekdays i goto bed at 11 or 12 mid and get up at 6 am

on weekends i sleep about 8 hours


if i sleep more than 8 hours i feel like [censored] and ache all over when i get up. i also feel groggy. so 6-7.5 hours seems just right for me. i also try not to ever take naps during the day because i feel like absolute crap when i wake up.

[2planka]

I sack out between 10:30 and 11:00 most nights. Up at 5:00 to get to work by 7:00. Even on weekends I rarely sleep past 7:00.

Ever had jetlag? Same principle.

[OrangeHeat]

I sleep from 8-midnight, play poker from midnight - 3am, sleep from 3am - 6am, and then go to work for 10 hours.

I am always fricken tired.

[turnipmonster]

this is interesting. do you naturally sleep in 2 intervals, and if not why 12-3am as opposed to 9-12 or something?

[LALDAAS]

I read an article a while back. alot of the problem for people is place you sleep. I also now do this. A bedroom is for 3 things getting dressed, sex, and sleeping. Try using your bed room for these reasons and these reasons only. it might help.

[OrangeHeat]

I find the games are best from 12-3am so thats when I play. Normally I would just sleep in one shift.
