What time do you wake up in the morning?

Tristan Lee · 10-03-2009, 07:44 AM

Hi Warriors!

I'm doing this because I want to change my sleeping patterns, and the reason for this is because I feel drowsy during the day and perhaps waking up earlier may help me become a little bit more productive. I'm curious to know what other people's mornings are like and this might also help others too from learning from your experiences. I currently wake up at 9:00 AM everyday.

If you can, please contribute to this random survey.

1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday?

2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day?

3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time?

4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why?

5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action?

List the feelings you feel when waking up at this time*.

Thanks!

Ha ha

Cool question really. Okay i am telling about me but i am not perfect for your forum. I have no schedule for my daily life.

I sometimes wake up early in the morning sometimes too late. Sometimes sleep day time sometimes not. Sorry for not helping u... lol

Tristan Lee · 10-03-2009, 08:24 AM

Hey no problem. Sometimes we don't have consistent schedules with our life and that's okay too.

zuluranger · 10-03-2009, 08:46 AM

I always wake up at 5am everyday. This is the best time for me to work without any interruption from my kids. Anyway, I feel that early morning is the best productive period for me. I get more things done than in the afternoon.

I sleep about 6hrs. I think 8hrs should be sufficient. I will try to catch up some sleep during the weekends.

BiancaRaven · 10-03-2009, 08:51 AM

I tend to stay awake until around 2am most nights/mornings because the majority of my clients are in the US and I'm in a time zone around 14/15 hours ahead of them. The only way I can often catch them is to stay awake until it's morning for them.

By the time I get a decent 8 hours sleep, it's usually a little after 10am. This works for me just fine - but I guess it's about what you get used to over time.

DavidJohnny · 10-03-2009, 09:00 AM

Interesting post!

I sleep from about 11:30 PM to 5:00 AM, and catch up some on weekends.

Sleep is a very individual thing. You should go to a sleep disorder specialist and talk to them if you are having issues. (Or just try different things and see what works.)

lanta99 · 10-03-2009, 09:06 AM

1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday?

Around 6:30 A.M. (What job do you have which allows your to wake up so late? I am jealous...)

2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day?

In the day as in daytime? About 1 hour. If you're talking about actual sleeping then I get around 7 hours of sleep in a 24 hour day.

3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time?

Not really, as I have gotten used to it.

4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why?

Nothing much, my current schedule demands it from me.

5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of action?

Not sure, although I have never felt drowsy in the day before.

ishan · 10-03-2009, 09:09 AM

1. 5:00 AM
2. 6
3. No, It's a habit now!
4. Well, yes! Morning hours are very productive for me and I can utilize them fully by waking up at this time!
5. Yes!

cconlan · 10-03-2009, 09:24 AM

I sometimes end up getting most work done in the late hours of the night/ early hours of the morning when most people would be sleeping. The downside is I end up sleeping in til around 11am on average. Never been a morning person as such though.

I remember seeing a documentary about the human body clock it was pretty interesting. Talking about the different times of day are good for different types of activities. For example, early morning is meant to be bad for exercise as that is when your blood pressure is highest and when you are more likely to have a heart attack :s

They are starting to use the human body clock studies to treat cancer more efficiently as well. The French have started this and they have seen promising results.

lianwei · 10-03-2009, 11:39 AM

Man.. I can't even remember when do I sleep? lol..

Tristan Lee · 10-03-2009, 01:10 PM

It's about 3:00 AM right now and I asked all you guys questions without putting the answers to my own! So here is it...

1) 9:00 AM

2) Well, if I go to sleep now about 6... I usually get about 8 though.

3) I have a lot of trouble waking up. I usually sit on the side of my bed with my face burrowed in my palms for a couple of minutes before I go brush my teeth.

4) I don't get work done in the morning, but save my work until evening and night so from my perspective, no I'm not as productive in the morning.

5) Waking up at this time, I still feel tired at random moments during the day.

*Want to go back to bed.

P.S. A lot more people wake up at 5:00 AM than I thought!

overstreet1983 · 10-03-2009, 02:38 PM

1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday? About 8:30am

2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day? At least 8 hours.

3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time? Nope

4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why? Actually, I feel more productive around 8pm to 1am at night ... I get up early to get a jump on ecommerce orders and the stock market for potential swing trading.

5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action? I feel I have more energy if I get up between 8am and 9am, a nice breakfast, coffee and multi-vitamins seem to help with energy.

Actually, I've heard a lot about this as well ... this is the reason you SHOULD NOT wake up before 7:30am ... stress hormones are also at their highest supposedly. Also, people who stay up late at night, 1am to 4am ... it tends to be better for creativity.

cnwoods · 10-03-2009, 02:43 PM

I have a job where the commute means I'm up by 5am most days, and on an early shift have to get up at 3. I ended up doing a 30 day trial of getting up early every day (to fit my online stuff in before I left), and the conclusions I reached at the end are in my summary post
at crystalsquest.com/day-42-of-my-30-day-trial-d/

In a nutshell, there are a lot of advantages to it, and there are ways to make it easier to wake yourself up - I've listed those. It's about creating a new habit - hard to start with, but the more you stick with it, the easier it gets.

A dawn simulator alarm clock helps an incredible lot as well ;-) Those things are all but impossible to sleep through!!!

achivement84 · 10-04-2009, 01:52 AM

Hey,

I like your questions

, well

1- I wake up at 7:30Am
2-Complete 8 hrs , i cant sleep less than that.
3-No, i dont have , even i wake up without my alarm o`clock
4-Yes , i belive the morning hrs is the main working hrs on the day , may be that give me some extra energy at that time.
5-Yes

Just i feel as active and alert.

Thanks,,

Jack Chua · 10-04-2009, 07:04 AM

I wake up around 6 am so that I could start my day early and be productive. I make sure to have slept 8 hours so as to have more energy the next day. If I oversleep I have the tendency of getting dizzy.

cconlan · 10-04-2009, 11:48 AM

Anyone else find there is never enough hours in a day? As you get older time seems to go faster. I guess its all relevant. If your a baby and you have only lived a week then a day is along time to you but if you 110 a day must seem like nothing as you have experienced soo many.

ASCW · 10-04-2009, 02:27 PM

1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday?
11:30 am - 12:30 pm
2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day?
8-10

3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time?
Not usually

4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why?
Yes because I can utilize the night time, where I am more productive. I'm most productive between 10:30 PM and 2:30 AM.

5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action?
No?

Cecille20 · 10-04-2009, 04:01 PM

1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday? -I'm working in graveyard shifts so I usually wake up 10 pm..

2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day? 8 to 10 hours.

3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time? No. Since I'm just working at home and all I can do is to finish my task.

4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why? Yes.. Because I'm working.

5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action? YEs..

Tristan Lee · 10-05-2009, 05:08 AM

I said "morning" Cecille.... haha just kidding. It's crazy how you wake up at 10 PM!

jennifermL · 10-05-2009, 06:02 AM

Me? hmm, I usually wake up 6-7 AM to take a bath then go to work!!!

I just take my Breakfast in the office... bad habit but maybe I could change...

The Artful Surfer · 10-05-2009, 07:09 AM

wake up at 6:45, check the surf, if no waves go to the internet cafe and do work. Work till 11 or so, then get a coffee and read, then do a bit more work. Bed by 11:30 at the latest. That changes if I stay out late or something.

secretjustin · 10-05-2009, 07:28 AM

1) Wake up about 10-11am

2) Probably about 8 easily sometimes more sometimes less.

3) I wake up when my body tells me to

4) I'm more productive around 10pm-3am

5) Nope, during the day I'm like a lion lounging around in the shade.

designfuschion · 10-05-2009, 09:07 AM

HAHA,i'm writing this at 1.19am. I really gotta stop forum posting around this time. My thoughts can sometimes get muddled around about now lol.

1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday?
anywhere between 10am and 10.45am. Been like this for about a year now. If i have to get up at 7am for something,then i go to bed earlier.
I'll go to bed anywhere between midnight and my latest is 3am. I try to get to bed at 2am. I think it's affecting my productivity in all areas. I live at home still,and since mum had her almost breakdown,she hasn't been same and just doesn't stop yacking to me. (talking) she is a shiftworker(cleaner) and usually wakes up couple hours after i goto bed and she has a cat nap from around 10.30am. Adelaide just started daylight savings again

so i'm trying to bring my bodyclock back to waking up earlier so when DST stops i'll be used to getting up at around 8.30 or 9.30am (i'm too confused)

2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day?
i need at least 8hours. I love sleep. lol. I want more..
3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time?
I hate sleeping past midday. I'll roll outta bed no later than 10.45 no matter how little sleep i got. LOL. I cannot however get up earlier than 7am. but then that's about 20years worth of getting up at 7am.(school and post school)
4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why?
No i'm not. I get about 3hours of absolute peace midday and whatever i get after everyone gets to bed.
5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action?
I probably would achieve heaps if i got up at 9am.

List the feelings you feel when waking up at this time*.
guilt. tiredness. stress for one reason or another. thoughts of what i plan to do. then i grab a coffee turn laptop on,log in here..and next thing i know its time to get mum up..my peace time is gone..etc..

Now i feel superlazy,after seeing so many here waking up really early. (I am trying hard now to get things done. too many goals i want to achieve)

babellou1010 · 10-05-2009, 01:10 PM

I usually wake up on weekdays around 6 and on weekends at 8. The only thing that disturbs my sleep patterns is when I receive email alerts to my phone concerning my website babellou.com

Tristan Lee · 10-08-2009, 10:31 AM

That's pretty crazy a schedule designfuschion. I thought it was hilarious when you listed your feelings of:

"guilt. tiredness. stress for one reason or another. thoughts of what i plan to do. then i grab a coffee turn laptop on,log in here..and next thing i know its time to get mum up..my peace time is gone..etc.."

It must be pretty tough having to live with a mom that has just gone through a mental breakdown and even harder to get some peace and quiet. Thanks for sharing this and hang in there buddy!

mattlaclear · 10-08-2009, 10:42 AM

Very interesting little survey you have popping here.

1. I usually wake up between 10 - 11 AM every day.
2. I get around 6 hours of sleep a day.
3. I wake up whenever I'm done sleeping. Usually have no commitments to honor that would require me waking up before that.
4. My most productive hours are between 12 AM and 3 AM so the answer is ...yes.
5. I'm a bit groggy during the day but I cure this by taking a couple impromptu naps when the need arises!

Cecille20 · 11-10-2009, 11:14 AM

1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday? - Depends on my mood, sometimes 7 am to 9 am

2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day?- 7 hours regularly, but if I'm very busy, I sleep 4-5 hours

3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time? No

4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why? Yeah,because I'm proving day by day

5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action?

AndrewOlson · 11-10-2009, 11:22 AM

This is by far the best resource on changing your sleep patterns and waking up earlier.

How to Become an Early Riser

I have used this strategy and it works extremely well. For me, building the habit of waking up early (as early as 4:30 am) has really changed my life. I have 10x more energy and I'm so much more productive. People that sleep until 7, 8, 9am just can't compete with someone up at 4:30. If you're able to make this kind of change in your life, you won't be sorry!

adamchandler · 11-10-2009, 11:36 AM

Hi Tristan,

For me i go to bed around midnight and wake up about 8 am. I think 8 hours is solid but I don't think its as much about the amount of sleep you get as much as its about sleep patterns. I know people who have trained themselves to only need 4 hours of sleep per night. I think going to bed and waking up at the same time (roughly) every day is important.

I hope that helps you.. Good luck!

-Adam

archiebunk · 11-10-2009, 05:42 PM

I go to bed between 11pm to 2 am. Get up when I feel like it. Some times 5 hours, sometimes 9, whatever

mtreid · 11-10-2009, 06:29 PM

I'm in bed by 11:00pm and up at 5:00am every day. I find that my productivity has increased with this schedule.

Arizona · 11-10-2009, 07:17 PM

I usually get up between 5 and 5:30 every morning. This all depends on whether or not I either work out on my elliptical or go for a walk, which is usually about 4 out of the 5 work days. (I still have a JOB but I am working on changing that; believe me!)

I find that it helps me to go to bed at the same time whether I do not have to get up and go to my JOB or not. I tend not to feel as tired if I keep the same sleep schedule. I have heard from health professionals that it is not good to drastically change your sleep schedule throughout the week as it really does make you feel more tired.

I also feel as if I can get a lot more done if I get up early on the weekend as well, and I usually do!

I usually get between 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep and I go to bed around 9 or 9:30 PM. Anything less than that is detrimental to my productivity! I am so much more productive when I am well rested.

bryansmith · 11-11-2009, 03:31 AM

Everyday i wake up by 5.45 it doent matter the time i slpet. Whatever the time i sleep i wake by that time only. I got used to it, it helps me a lot in productive of my work.

llamafier · 11-12-2009, 06:41 AM

I really have no sense of a schedule at all, besides being awake at the time of school. I wish I did though. My problem is that I can't fall asleep unless I'm really, really tired. Then I end up sleeping longer. :/

1. I get up at 6 am. This is unusual for me as I work better of a night. However, as I still work and want to spend time with my partner of an afternoon I find this the best time to fit things in.

2. I get anywhere between 41/2 to 7 hours and it is not enough. Come the weekend I look forward to my sleep ins.

3. I dont have trouble but I can be a little groggy for the first 15 minutes.

4. I am more productive as I can work without interuptions for an hour and a half. If I work of an night I get nagged at.

5. Energy levels are pretty much the same.

Feeling?

5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action? - I haven't felt any difference in that.

steveblum · 11-12-2009, 09:54 PM

Truthfully, during the work week just enough time for the 3 S's, then off to work.

On the weekends, whenever the kids wake me up, which is usually earlier than I would like.

steveniam · 11-12-2009, 10:16 PM

Normally I sleep around 2230 - 2300 hrs and wake up between 0545 hrs - 0600 hours.

(1) Start doing warming-up exercises for 30 minutes and then drink about 0.60 liter of water.
(2) Jog for 30 minutes follow by cooling down exercises of about 30 minutes. Drink another 1.6 liter of water
(3) Buy the daily newspaper and finished reading about 08.15 hours
(4) After 0830 hours it's time to start to do the necessary work to make a living.

I am motivated to wake up and do the exercises as I am 'inflicted' with constipation and I need to do the exercises and drink the water to overcome it.

Rick Johansson · 11-13-2009, 10:30 PM

I wake up at around 5 am. I used to be a nightowl but there's something about waking up before everyone else...feels like you get a "head start" and the day goes better.

Rick

THY · 11-14-2009, 03:12 AM

I try to sleep as early as possible and wake up fresh in the morning for work. I don't like getting myself to do my job when I'm tired or lack of sleep. 7am is the time I wake up and on weekends, 9am is the latest.

free2rock · 11-14-2009, 03:19 AM

I wake up at 12:01 in the morning. I found it better for me to work at night, through the whole night and going to bed at 10am. I'm not crazy, it just works better for me, I can concentrate more on completing difficult task when it's more quiet. I can't work that well in the morning

My best perfomance is around 2-3 am where I think my energy boost up at the top.

I usually start my day at 5 pm and work the whole night.

Just find out whatever works best for you can Just do it.

Don't be lazy.

mark z · 11-14-2009, 06:12 AM

I like to get up early.
Personally, I think you have more time to achieve your goals if you build your habit of waking up early.

So, here are answers to your survey:

1) 7AM
2) 7-9hrs
3) Not any more.
4) Definitely yes.
5) Not sure about getting more energy, but I certainly have more time to spend that energy wisely.

Good question.

I sleep pretty much 12 hours a night/morning on average. I love this amount of sleep, I never get ill, I don't have to wake up unnaturally feeling awful, I am hugely relaxed and stress free most of the time.

Does this help with productivity? Not if I wanted to do more than 12 hours work in a day, but I still have 12 hours to work on projects which is plenty of time.

I don't think sleeping patterns do much to effect productivity unless you're getting far too little in which case you always feel on edge and less able to think properly (which is required for programming, which is what I do).

I think it's more to do with just feeling 'ready'. I don't really force myself to work I only do it when the urge strikes me or if I've promised myself to do some.

My work pattern seems to go in cycles, I have 1 week where I'm feeling the need to get on in which case I usally do about 2 hours from 10am to 12am, take a 2 hour break which could include cycling or drinking then spend another hour afterwards working. After that week I usually get fed up and spend 2 weeks willing myself to do more but just not getting anything done, then I go again.

I don't think we were really designed to work hard mentally, physically isn't such a big deal, but sitting at a computer programming is highly monotenous and requires either plenty of breaks in between or a highly trained mind. I for one know which I prefer.

Either way I never beat myself up about not doing work, it just happens, I think when we're not working we're just rebelling and showing our true selves, we're not mindless slaves to capitialism you know :P

Sometimes I change my sleep pattern because I think I need to, I end up doing the work, but in hindsight its more because I've decided I'm definately going to work and making a change in sleeping pattern reinforces my personal promise, I feel like I'm taking action and spur myself on.

Coach Ramy · 11-15-2009, 04:48 PM

3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time?
not on most days
4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why?
Going to the gym...exercise is the best thing you can do to feel energized
5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action?
Definitely do

This is an interesting schedule as I agree it an be very noisy during the day and night, it's the times when everyone is asleep is the time when it's most peaceful and quiet.

But I was a little confused here. You say you wake up at 12:01 AM but you start you're day at 5 PM?

Anyway, thanks for this tip!

I, also, am usually out of bed around 6:30----but rarely am I "sharp"!

Normal sleeping/waking habits are difficult for me to manage due to a few physical ailments that have crept up on me over the years. However, many times when the twinges of "ouch" convince me to get out of bed around 1 or 2 A.M. I find that I am able to complete more tasks---and to a better quality--than when the house is awake and buzzing with activity.

At these times the music, the t.v. and the dogs are left out of the equation and my accomplishments seem a bit more polished!

If so, why? 5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action? List the feelings you feel when waking up at this time. Thanks! Optional

This is the best time for me to work without any interruption from my kids. Anyway, I feel that early morning is the best productive period for me. I get more things done than in the afternoon. I sleep about 6hrs. I think 8hrs should be sufficient. I will try to catch up some sleep during the weekends.

I tend to stay awake until around 2am most nights/mornings because the majority of my clients are in the US and I'm in a time zone around 14/15 hours ahead of them. The only way I can often catch them is to stay awake until it's morning for them. By the time I get a decent 8 hours sleep, it's usually a little after 10am. This works for me just fine - but I guess it's about what you get used to over time. Bianca

I sometimes end up getting most work done in the late hours of the night/ early hours of the morning when most people would be sleeping. The downside is I end up sleeping in til around 11am on average. Never been a morning person as such though. I remember seeing a documentary about the human body clock it was pretty interesting. Talking about the different times of day are good for different types of activities. For example, early morning is meant to be bad for exercise as that is when your blood pressure is highest and when you are more likely to have a heart attack :s They are starting to use the human body clock studies to treat cancer more efficiently as well. The French have started this and they have seen promising results.

It's about 3:00 AM right now and I asked all you guys questions without putting the answers to my own! So here is it... 1) 9:00 AM 2) Well, if I go to sleep now about 6... I usually get about 8 though. 3) I have a lot of trouble waking up. I usually sit on the side of my bed with my face burrowed in my palms for a couple of minutes before I go brush my teeth. 4) I don't get work done in the morning, but save my work until evening and night so from my perspective, no I'm not as productive in the morning. 5) Waking up at this time, I still feel tired at random moments during the day. *Want to go back to bed. P.S. A lot more people wake up at 5:00 AM than I thought!

I feel I have more energy if I get up between 8am and 9am, a nice breakfast, coffee and multi-vitamins seem to help with energy.

I have a job where the commute means I'm up by 5am most days, and on an early shift have to get up at 3. I ended up doing a 30 day trial of getting up early every day (to fit my online stuff in before I left), and the conclusions I reached at the end are in my summary post at crystalsquest.com/day-42-of-my-30-day-trial-d/ In a nutshell, there are a lot of advantages to it, and there are ways to make it easier to wake yourself up - I've listed those. It's about creating a new habit - hard to start with, but the more you stick with it, the easier it gets. A dawn simulator alarm clock helps an incredible lot as well ;-) Those things are all but impossible to sleep through!!! Crystal

HAHA,i'm writing this at 1.19am. I really gotta stop forum posting around this time. My thoughts can sometimes get muddled around about now lol. 1) What time do you wake up in the morning everyday? anywhere between 10am and 10.45am. Been like this for about a year now. If i have to get up at 7am for something,then i go to bed earlier. I'll go to bed anywhere between midnight and my latest is 3am. I try to get to bed at 2am. I think it's affecting my productivity in all areas. I live at home still,and since mum had her almost breakdown,she hasn't been same and just doesn't stop yacking to me. (talking) she is a shiftworker(cleaner) and usually wakes up couple hours after i goto bed and she has a cat nap from around 10.30am. Adelaide just started daylight savings again so i'm trying to bring my bodyclock back to waking up earlier so when DST stops i'll be used to getting up at around 8.30 or 9.30am (i'm too confused) 2) How many hours of sleep do you get in a day? i need at least 8hours. I love sleep. lol. I want more.. 3) Do you have trouble waking up at this time? I hate sleeping past midday. I'll roll outta bed no later than 10.45 no matter how little sleep i got. LOL. I cannot however get up earlier than 7am. but then that's about 20years worth of getting up at 7am.(school and post school) 4) Would you say you are more productive by doing this? If so, why? No i'm not. I get about 3hours of absolute peace midday and whatever i get after everyone gets to bed. 5) Do you get a lot more energy throughout the day because of this action? I probably would achieve heaps if i got up at 9am. List the feelings you feel when waking up at this time*. guilt. tiredness. stress for one reason or another. thoughts of what i plan to do. then i grab a coffee turn laptop on,log in here..and next thing i know its time to get mum up..my peace time is gone..etc.. Now i feel superlazy,after seeing so many here waking up really early. (I am trying hard now to get things done. too many goals i want to achieve)

Very interesting little survey you have popping here. 1. I usually wake up between 10 - 11 AM every day. 2. I get around 6 hours of sleep a day. 3. I wake up whenever I'm done sleeping. Usually have no commitments to honor that would require me waking up before that. 4. My most productive hours are between 12 AM and 3 AM so the answer is ...yes. 5. I'm a bit groggy during the day but I cure this by taking a couple impromptu naps when the need arises!

This is by far the best resource on changing your sleep patterns and waking up earlier. How to Become an Early Riser I have used this strategy and it works extremely well. For me, building the habit of waking up early (as early as 4:30 am) has really changed my life. I have 10x more energy and I'm so much more productive. People that sleep until 7, 8, 9am just can't compete with someone up at 4:30. If you're able to make this kind of change in your life, you won't be sorry!

Hi Tristan, For me i go to bed around midnight and wake up about 8 am. I think 8 hours is solid but I don't think its as much about the amount of sleep you get as much as its about sleep patterns. I know people who have trained themselves to only need 4 hours of sleep per night. I think going to bed and waking up at the same time (roughly) every day is important. I hope that helps you.. Good luck! -Adam

Arizona Warrior Member Join Date: Oct 2009 Posts: 17 Thanks: 0 Thanked 0 Times in 0 Posts	Re: What time do you wake up in the morning? I usually get up between 5 and 5:30 every morning. This all depends on whether or not I either work out on my elliptical or go for a walk, which is usually about 4 out of the 5 work days. (I still have a JOB but I am working on changing that; believe me!) I find that it helps me to go to bed at the same time whether I do not have to get up and go to my JOB or not. I tend not to feel as tired if I keep the same sleep schedule. I have heard from health professionals that it is not good to drastically change your sleep schedule throughout the week as it really does make you feel more tired. I also feel as if I can get a lot more done if I get up early on the weekend as well, and I usually do! I usually get between 7.5 to 8 hours of sleep and I go to bed around 9 or 9:30 PM. Anything less than that is detrimental to my productivity! I am so much more productive when I am well rested.
