>>301321 I try to keep mine consistent for the most part. I usually go to bed around 10pm, read for maybe 20-30 minutes and then turn off the lights. Probably takes me around 30min to fall asleep and depending on the day I get up at either 6:00am or 7:30am. I always try to only shift my wake up by 1:30h or one REM cycle. Seems to work okay, though obviously I feel better when I get to sleep more. Quitting caffeine has had some effect on falling asleep more easily but honestly not as much as I'd expected. Intermittent fasting for me has had much more of an impact, I read it supposedly reinforces your circadian rhythm somehow.
I don't know but you gotta be militant about going to bed early. Don't let normies or video games goad you into staying up late. I also found sleeping mid day can fuck up your sleep cycle as you will start having trouble going to bed early.
If you don't have to Wake up for work, why would you want a "normal" sleep Schedule? Just sleep whenever you want, stay up all Night if that's what you feel like.
I.M a wageslave and my sleep schedule just solved itself out of necessity, but I wish I could Stay up for like 20 hours, then sleep for 10 hours, not be constrained by the 24-hour Cycle.
I'm NEET and sleep whenever I want, as soon as I get tired I lie down and sleep and then I wake up whenever I feel like I'm not tired anymore. because of this my sleeping pattern is all over the place.
>>301347 This. My sleep cycle has been completely fucked up for the past week or so, I literally can't sleep at night at all, and absolutely can't manage to stay awake during the day. And it's not like I am having good sleep in the day either. I sleep at 11 am when it's almost noon and wake up at 5 pm in the evening, and then I can't sleep whole night. It's absolutely nuts. A week ago I could fall asleep whenever I wanted but for some reason I literally can't sleep at night, I feel like only way to do it is to stay awake for more than 24+ hours, but the amount of drowsiness I feel in the day and no matter how much I try to sleep at night it's really like I am two different people. It's absolutely crazy.
due to summer heatwave AND STUPID BIKERS ON CHEAP PITBIKES my sleep took a hit
got an AC and fixed my windows to damage-control my sleep
I have also discovered background music/background noise helps me to enter the state of sleep. CONTEXT. Full silence, turns out, makes me sensitive to the quiet-iest, smallest noises and sounds.
Typically i sleep from 7pm to 1am Nice drinking coffee in the quiet (live in the city) I am a NEET i then go about my morning routine, play pubg mobile and then go for a walk in the park around 6-7 am. Sleeping at night would be better but i have not been able to change this rhytm for a while
>>301321 Oh! OH!!! This week, I realized what was ruining my sleep. You see, I was dumb enough to unironically use thick synthetic blanket in the summer.
Last night, I switched to an old thin blanked made out of real wool. SLEEP QUALITY = GOOD. Finally!
I used to stay up all nights and sleep during the day but meds fixed it gradually for me. I still liked it better then because nobody disturbed me. That's why now I want to switch to going to sleep at 9pm and waking up at 4am to at least have some more comfy solitude
>>301321 I haz a qustion. Can "smart lightbulbs" [controlled by Bluetooth via my smartphone] help me to make ging to bed easier? Because I find myself getting too juiced up from 3x9W LED lightbulbs at night (27W LED is too much for me)
>>302487 Update: while the "blanket" part i sworking, I have to not forget to use my AC to keep my room at steady 20 C(elsius) - because my room was 24 C last evening (warm, no pajamas needed) but it got cold in the morning (19 C) so I *need* to switch to "cold room with good pajamas" sleeping style.
>>301321 I used to have very bad sleep schedule. The only thing that fixed it was just set up alarm clock to wake me up in the morning, no matter how much or how little sleep I got. I also took melatonin pills at 23:00 for a few weeks (under a month). I stopped taking it because I fear that it might mess up my natural melatonin production in the long run. Anyway, I feel a tiny bit better after I fixed my sleep schedule. It also makes things easier, since the society works according to the "normal" (i.e. most popular) sleep schedule (shops and the library are open when I'm not sleeping).
Fuck everything, I wish I did not need to sleep at all, just few minutes of micro-sleep daily, or the other way around, I wish I could live in lucid dream like a junkie in Inception, real life is a waste of memories anyways.
>>302977 If you're so invested in the idea that minute wattage differences between household lightbulbs is any contributing factor to your rough sleep, then… Yeah. I, anonymous internet forum user who clearly has your best interest in mind, PROMISES that you will sleep like a loli if you spend a bunch of money on premium light bulbs for your bathroom.
>>302977 Genuinely, yes, a "smart" lightbulb you can control with your phone is great. "daylight" during the day, and yellow-orange at night helps massively
