Getting Up Early?

[Gooblah]

7-8

I would love to get more sleep, but my body's rhythm is such that I do my best work in the morning. I usually end up taking a powernap or something after lunch.

I'm currently on a taipei sleep cycle, is not fun

Must correct

I'm on a Tahiti sleep cycle right now; so long as it doesn't keep up like that it's fine. Or New York - my local time zone - if you're at GMT.

I have to get up about Chicago time tomorrow - not sure how that'll pan out yet.

I've never been a morning person. I'm kind of built for a 36-hour time frame (24 hours up/12 hours sleep), so it's a cold, cruel world for me.

Ah yes, I've thought the same thing, even joined a 36-hour-day Facebook group. Although 36 probably would be a bit too much for me. 28 is probably about right - 17-18 awake and 10-11 asleep. I've done 33-hour days for the majority of a week before and it's a bit of a stretch for me - 24 is certainly short though.

Since its summer vacation I go to sleep at 2 in the morning and get up at 2 in the afternoon. Roughly. It may vary.

There's no better way!

Good for people like me, who have a 'normal' sleep cycle. The more I can do in a day, the happier I am.

This is true; I like the feeling of having accomplished a lot in a day as well. But being so much of a natural night owl, sometimes it ends up being the more I can accomplish in a night, the happier I am (though accomplishing a lot at day is certainly OK too!).

I certainly have noticed that I tend to hang around other night owls, though. Probably because I tend to do stuff with them at really late hours during which my 'normal' friends are asleep.

For school, 6am, but during summer (summer school's finally over) I wake up at about 8-9, maybe earlier, rarely later.

Downtown. My sleep cycle is F***ed up. It has gone from getting up at 5 every weekday and 730 on weekends (bed midnightish) 4 years ago to getting up at 730 weekdays and 930 weekends (2 years ago) to now, when i have no commitments on weekends, anywhere from 7 am to noon depending on when I go to sleep. if i go to sleep at 2 am, i CAN sleep till noon. (10 hours) If I go to sleep at 4 AM, (today I slept till 7...) i CAN sleep till 11 (7 hours), if i go to sleep at 6 am, i can sleep till noon (6 hours). the earlier i go to bed the longer i sleep. and thats with no commitments the next day. normally i sleep 1-8

EDIT: and just slept from 6 am - 12.

The only time I am ever up before 7.30 or 8 is for a flight.

Since I don't wrok on weekends, I can easily sleep till almost two if I stay up late enough friday, but that's rare, because work is a . .. .. .. .. .. So, around 10 or eleven usually. I read the poll wrong, so I voted 8-9.

Mwaha! it is currently 5:55 AM, and so far I have gone for a run, cleaned my room, PM'ed someone, read an old awesome Red Stranger thread, and have time to go get some pancakes before work (I've been madly craving pancakes for a couple weeks now).

How come when I get up early and be productive I feel like a champion, but when I stay up late and be productive I feel like a sleaze ball?

I guess it is just the way phiphty is constructed.

Also, what time do ya'll get up, both on days where you have to get up for work/school, and on days where you do not have to get up at a particular time for a particular reason.

5 am every morning.

I'm gonna start getting up at 5am, because I like feeling like a champion and I dislike feeling like a sleaze ball.

Great idea (see above)!

 

[Japanrocks12]

I go to sleep anywhere from 3-4 am and wake up anywhere from 10 am-1 p.

When college starts, this will look a lot more normal

 

[JustinianVII]

Waking up early on one's own free will? What's that?

 

[Syterion]

What's the point of waking up early when I don't have anything productive to do in those mornings? Also, I'd rather be alert until at least 1 AM, and if I wake up early that is harder.

 

[Masquerouge]

Wake up late during the week-ends, but I usually am the first at work on weekdays, so there.

 

[Rambuchan]

I usually get up roughly 8 hours after I've fallen asleep.

(Assuming I haven't gone to bed completely buckled of course).

Getting up and waking up are two completely things
i wake up around 8-9 ish

I'm ready to do something complex 12ish or if i need to go to school
