    I've been "unconsciously" following the diurnal pattern discussed in the article for many years and thought that I had a sleep problem. I sleep for 4-6 hours, wake for a 1-2 hour period and then sleep for another 1-3 hours. Total hours of sleep per night: about 7-8 hours. Time in bed: 8-10.

    What do you do during that 1-2 period? (Assuming it's KSS).

      Related to the 8 hour post below. How long do you sleep? Is it by choice? Do you sleep in on weekends? Me, about 5-6 hours, 8-10 on weekends depending on hangover.

      Monday to Thursday I'll get 7-8 hours. Friday night is in the hands of the planes, normally in bed by 1 and kids come in between 6-7. Saturday will often be a movie with the kids then bed and a good 9 hours. Sunday night I'm lucky if it's 6 hours.

        5 - 6 hours, but I'm a champion cat-napper, and can usually grab an extra 30 - 60 minutes on the commuter rail.

            Usually lay in bed and pray or meditate, or lay awake thinking about random stuff, sometimes try to solve work problems or family problems. If I get up then I tend not to be able to fall back asleep. And then I'm tired the rest of the day.

                Can't sleep or the sheep will beat me. I run on 6-4 hours of sleep. the " more " time is usually when my wife can get me to bring away from what I'm doing. I't usually less though. I like nights, it's comfortable, relaxing, and less distractions compared to day time. Became handy when the kid came, she sleeps like a rock at night.

                        Total of 3 hours. Faster getting to work, get train (Max) at about 6:20, get to Hillsboro about 7:20, then get company shuttle to work, and get in about 7:30. Unfortunately at night cannot guarentee when I can catch a train back (shuttle sometimes misses the train, and then have to wait).

                                  Ideally I need 8 hours of sleep at night, that way I feel rested and refreshed all week, if I keep 8 hour sleep regimen, it also means that I do not really feel the need to sleep in on weekends, I just wake up after 8 hours naturally without any alarm. Now that's ideally, in real life, I usually get 7 hours of sleep on weekdays, and about 9 hours on weekends. Less ideal, I don't feel as rested on the weekdays, but still acceptable. If I get less than 7 hours of sleep on weekdays it quickly goes downhill from there, I feel really crappy and cranky during the week, I sleep in for 10 hours on weekends, I do not want to go out, I do not want to do anything except hug the couch all day long, and then when Monday comes I usually still feel tired. Basically my life goes to hell. So I try to get at least 7 hours of sleep because that's what it takes for me to function normally. I try to get 8 hours, but it doesn't always happen because waking up at 6 means being sound asleep at 8pm (22:00 for the old, yet more progressive, world people). I really need to make a habit of sleeping for 8 hours.

                                    Before I had kids I actually slept less more often oddly. I would stay up late even on work nights playing games or diggin around on the net. Sometimes past 2AM and I would then somehow end up in my chair at work by 8AM. I could manage because if I was exauhsted I would take a power nap after work and likely continue the cycle. Now however with kids I am consiously aware that from the time I get up I will not have a moment "to myself" until about 8 or 9 PM. So 10 or 11 rolls around and even if I am not tired or really interested in something I am off to bed to repeat said cycle. The cycle is now so engraved even on weekends when I can get a little me time, my brain says Yeah its Friday night and only 11 PM but :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

                                    Computers have been intelligent for a long time now. It just so happens that the program writers are about as effective as a room full of monkeys trying to crank out a copy of Hamlet.

                                      I've been getting around 6-7 recently and don't feel rested when I wake, but had a good run of a few months where I felt rested and was getting 7-8. This is after 20 years of insomnia where I probably averaged 4-6. Diet and getting up routinely at 5AM has made the biggest difference.

                                        I'd hate that unless I could read/write/browse/listen as desired all the way, both ways.

                                          Related to the 8 hour post below. How long do you sleep? Is it by choice? Do you sleep in on weekends? Me, about 5-6 hours, 8-10 on weekends depending on hangover.
