Sleeping Habits: Daytime Sleep and Nighttime Awake?
- Thread starter Entropy
- Start date
Click For Summary
Many participants in the discussion express a preference for nocturnal lifestyles, sharing experiences of staying up late and sleeping during the day. Several individuals report feeling more productive and creative at night, often reverting to a nocturnal schedule when not constrained by work or school obligations. The concept of "free running" is mentioned, where individuals naturally shift their sleep patterns without external cues, leading to longer days and altered sleep cycles. Despite the societal norm of waking early, many argue that this is not a natural state for everyone, with some expressing frustration towards early risers. The conversation touches on the challenges of balancing school or work schedules with personal sleep preferences, highlighting a desire for more flexible hours that align with their natural rhythms. Overall, the thread reveals a strong inclination towards embracing a night-oriented lifestyle, with humor and camaraderie among those who share similar sleep habits.

"I'll live while I'm alive and sleep when I'm dead." By some rock group.Greg Bernhardt said:
I was up at 4 AM today, got a nap between 8:30 and 11 AM, and don't see another break for a nap until sometime tomorrow afternoon.
Plus, it's snowing like mad, so I'm scared the roads are going to become too icy to get done everything I need to be doing (I need to drive samples back from the farm every 4 hours...at least the person coming out for the 1 AM and 3 AM samples has 4WD, so I can ask him to bring the samples up to the lab when he's done, but I still need to get there by 5 AM for the next shift!...my sheep aren't cooperating and made me start early...tonight I was supposed to be snuggled in bed early to rest up for the remainder of the week. ).Uh, yeah, I get a bit cranky when I'm tired. (Zooby's going to tell me I'm humorless.

School forces me to wake up at 5:30am everyday. Sucks, because I usually don't feel like starting homework until around 7pm everyday, and then end up going to sleep anywhere between 11pm and 1am. This of course changes when tests are coming up, or when it's now (grr). Yesterday was Saturday and I was taking the ACT test, which started at 8 in the morning, so I had to wake up early :(
I don't get enough sleep though. I would love to have school start at 9am and end at 5pm. During the summer however, I tend to go to sleep about an hour later everyday, sleeping 10 hours daily. Except I started limiting myself to going to sleep at around 3 or 4 AM. Who knew that in the middle of the night, the best cspan online streaming stuff is on? Or different talkshows with scientists..!
