Right people, I like to stay up till the same time as a lot of you (12-ish, although I know some stay up till 1 onwards). However, unlike you people, I get woken up at around 7am each morning. Maybe some of you have that happen to you and feel ok, I don't know.

I don't, it makes me feel slow and sluggish, dents my imagination and makes me feel more miserable. I can never get to sleep during the day (I just close my eyes, lie there, and eventually get a headache or bored).

Could I either have loads of people persuade me to go to bed earlier, or someone give me tips on getting more sleep (say 20 minutes or so as I can snatch it) during the day?

Additionally, if I do try and go to sleep earlier, I can never do it, I just end up lying there for ages until around the time I normally sleep and then I do drop off.

yeah im in bed about 1AM and up about 7AM its wierd.

I'll try to prompt you to bed earlier

you lie there because yoru brain thinks, no it isn;t time to sleep because it;s used to your 12AM

I go to bed at 2-3am atm and get up at 1-2pm, so I'm no help

At uni, I typically go to bed sometime before 1am to get up just before 8am. I find the best way to get up in the morning is to have a shower in the morning (then go for a walk, but that's just because of 9am lectures )

thats the correct way, but i forget the walk and lectures ^^

I go to bed at 1 am and wake up at 6am.

Some people can, some cant.

I can do it, it just really makes me feel a bit down.

What's your morning routine? (what do you do after you get up)

Wash, dress, eat breakfast, brush teeth, help with clearing away of breakfast things. That's the stuff that happens pretty much every morning.

We have no shower.

I'm similar Ogris, it doesnt really matter what time I get up as long as I have 3-5 hours of good sleep. Usually I end up sleeping for more though

I tend to go to bed anywhere between 1 and 3, except weds nights where I usually go around 12.

I generally go to sleep around midnight, get a good 5 hours kip in then wake up and do normal things, but when i have a few weeks off I find that I slip into my preferred routine, stay up one night till 3pm, sleep till 3 am, then repeat.

Im tempted to go onto the uberman sleep patten when i get the chance (http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?nod ... ode_id=124) It would suck if you had no self control or you lived with someone who wasn't on it, but otherwise it should be very productive

Wow. I would love to try that sleep pattern, it sounds awesome. I might try it over the summer if its possible, but I doubt theres going to be another point in my life where that sort of sleep pattern is going to be viable.

From what is on that link, they said it was great :O

Sink+Cold Water+Face = Awakitude

Maybe you've just got an extremely strict body clock that won't let you sleep until you're supposed to?

i go to sleep at around 1-3am and wake up at 7 im not sleepy at school.

I do that first thing, then breakfast, shower, walking. I'm fairly awake by the time I'm at lectures. People still think I'm weird for not missing or sleeping in any lecture

Sleep is vital mate >.<
Gotta try sleep earlier, if your not tired, go out for a jog later on before ya go to sleep, come back have a walm bath, drink a soothing warm drink then try hit the hay

i like my system better
sleep when ever i get bored or when my internets crash.
wake up whenever i do and damn anything else that i should be doing until then

Wait, I'm confused as to what this is.

A strange sleeping system to get lots done.

It wrecks havoc on your bio clock.

Theres a REASON humans sleep DURING THE NIGHT.

that sounds epic.
i'll give it a try. but 20mins is a bit meh.
how about 2 hours?

Actually during my summer holiday I became nocturnal although I admit reverting is hard work.

Also living nocturnally is awesome, the streets are clear, there is no noise and only pubs (but only in the early morning), tescos and petrol stations are open. I've got a few weeks free coming up, ill take some pictures to demonstrate my point.

3 hours sleep can do me.

I have been oversleeping for ages now.....2days ago I went to bed at 7:30pm and did'nt wake up till 8:30am O.O
