    Just curious? Are you a nightowl at weekends only or do you do it on school nights too?

    What kind of sleep patterns you got?

    Usually go to bed at around 2ish at the earliest, although I've found myself staying up later and later.

    I work all kinds of different shifts seemingly at random because alot of our customers in work are american. Thus, I am all over the place, no pattern to speak of.

    I usually go to bed between 2 and 3. Up again at 7.30. Always wrecked the next night but I could go to bed early and still not sleep until 2/3 so I just don't bother anymore. I usually surf boards.

    All depends on the shift I work. This week for example I have watched the sunrise twice before going to bed, and probably the same for the remainder of the week. On weekends, I may not even see a bed for 48 hours straight. And of course a normal week warrants earlier bedtime, but thats still 2 or 3am!!

    Sometimes I'll go to bed at about 2.00am or 3.00am for a whole week. But then, the next week, I'll start dozing in the afternoons after eating. It makes up for it!

    I sleep later every night until I'm back going to bed early. When I worked 9-5 I used to skip a nights sleep when needed to get back around to social hours.
    Shift work was easier and now I work my own hours so it's easy.

    Well i haven't really slept well since i was a kid. My average is normally 2 to 4 hours a night, depending. Sometimes i will catch 6+ for no apparent reason and that feels like i slept for a week!

    At weekends i might not sleep from Friday through to Sunday simply because i have no reason to, and have plenty of stuff to do!!!

    Then every now and then i get 5 day bouts of sleeplessness. By day 3 you are pretty useless to anyone and by day 5 your mostly seeing things but thankfully i have a pretty understanding employer so when that does happen they are pretty understanding about it, which is nice.

    So yeah...insomnia sucks but you can get **** done.

    Just like slavery.

    During the week I'll head to bed around 2.00 am and hopefully get asleep
    before 3.00 am, up most mornings just before 8 for work. Honestly
    can't remember a weekday night when I went to bed before 2 in the morn.

    On weekends it's not unusual for me to stay up until 4 or 5, but then I'll
    have a sleep in until noon. This was my normal sleep pattern way back in my
    college days.

    And people wonder why I drink so much coffee ;)

    I'm actually a really sleepy person and need at least 8 hours a night. Always in bed by 12 at the latest unless I'm out at the weekend.

    I'm only classified as nocturnal as I live in New Zealand and boards is dead during the day (night for you guys!)

    Unlike some of the other kids when I was younger I seemed to have a later ''sleep time'' than others...i.e my parents didn't say ''here get to bet..school tommorow''

    Ever since second year when I got my laptop. my sleep time is probably around 2.30...3.00 am...but sometimes around 1 am.

    I don't go to be until about 4am usually... takes about an hour or so to get to sleep and I usually wake up at around 8.30 or so.

    Tend to catch up on my sleep at the weekend when I'll spend as much time as possible lying in bed.
