Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I've been sleeping from 6:00 AM-3:00 PM the last week or so. I have night classes this semester and I gradually got to where I'm at now.

I'm interested in what the most messed up sleep schedule other college guys have had in their past. Also what block of time you think would be viewed as the weirdest hours to sleep.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

At one point in the semester I was going to sleep at 1pm-9pm (classes from 8am-12pm). Another time i was going to sleep at like 8pm-5am. Yeah, I was a little off.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

ive done every kind of sleeping sched. possible (i think). freshman yr i was the one hour sleeper (7a-8a). soph yr i did 5a-8a. and now i do a nice 5a-3pm or 6a-7a. (tho i shud say that my sleeping schedule now is due to depression...not rly my choosing. and yes, my body runs the same whether i get 1hr or 10hrs...as long as i dont wake up durrin REM)

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

For the past 3 years my sleep schedule has been terrible. Usually it starts off normal but as the year goes on it gets later and later until I am going to bed at 10-11am. Eventually it keeps getting later until it is back to normal.


Now I go to bed at 12 and get up at 8. I just did a big project on circadian rhythms, and sleeping at night, and being awake during the day is really really important for health. Gastrointestinal problems, energy levels, liver, heart, and lung health are all affected by your sleep schedule. SLEEP AT NIGHT! seriously, it makes a difference.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

my current sleep schedule since september is about 5am-1pm
University is just too much freedom.
Used to be about 1 or 2am - 7:30am

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I've been at 3 AM - 1 PM for awhile now =/

uberman schedule

Friend of mine was doing it for a week. Fell asleep once and didn't wake up in time. Roommate comes in, trying to wake him up in nearly every way possible (dumping water on him, hitting him etc) and he doesn't move an inch. Seems not to be breathing, or barely breathing. Ambulance is called and they take him to the hospital. To the shock of everybody, who thought he was dead, he wakes up in the back of the amubalance and shocks everybody in it.

As for me: 7 AM - 3 PM. However, I'm pretty normal right now.

I have this experience too, found it very frusturating. Might want to consider getting some sleeping pills ( the otc ones sucked so i had to go to the doctor) which have helped a lot.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

20-30 minutes every 4~ hours

can you please start a Ask me thread on your sleep cycle at here or oot?

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I haven't ever tried that sleep schedule, but there was an "ask me" thread on this topic somewhere on the forum. You should also check out that wikipedia link.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I've done every 8/9/10 hour stretch possible. A month ago I was doing like 1PM to 10 PM for a while. That was pretty weird.

I've also done stuff like 3 AM to 7 AM and then 3 PM to 8 PM or so.. but I think that's pretty common with students.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

Once I started college I went on the 3am-noon schedule, and that remained for nearly 4 years, even when I wasn't in school. I worked in the restaurant business, and it allowed me to do that.

Just recently I got a job that requires I be to work by 6am. It took a good two weeks before my body was adjusted, but now I go to bed between 10:30-11:30pm, and wake up around 5:00am. It sucks.

If you need to adjust it, find something you NEED to get up in the morning for, and just do it. You'll be tired as [censored] the first day, but will go to bed earlier, and eventually your body will adjust.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

2am-9am pretty consistently, except on weekends: 4-6am to 2-3pm, depending on hungoverness

sunday nights I can never fall asleep until around 4, so I get tired for the rest of the week, napping occasionally

My roommate was really messed up a while ago, getting 13-15 hours of sleep every time he laid down. After a while of sleeping through his 5pm classes he's gotten a little more normal again.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

My senior year of HS I'd get home around noon and sleep until midnight. I'd stay awake through the night and through the next school day.


Right now I don't goto school, and I'm really messed up.

I really wish I could get back on my normal schedule, which was sleeping from 4am - 4pm.

Now I'm all over the place. I'll stay awake for 24hours, then sleep for 20 hours. Most recently I've been sleeping from 1pm - 7pm, awake for 30min, then sleep again until 2am.


Although, I'm pretty certain I actually have a sleeping disorder and am being consulted for prescription sleep aid soon. I have series issues falling asleep.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

M-F

11PM-4:45AM (crew practice)

Sun anywhere from 2,3,4,5am until whenever I want (generally best sleep ever unless accompanied with a hangover)

Sleep from 4am - 4pm is fine for me. Stores/restaurants are still open, and I can play the nightly mtts. (you said 4pm-4am, but i'm quoted saying 4am-4pm).

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

My sleep schedule for the past three weeks has been as follows:

Sunday, Tuesday night:

Sleep around 5 or 6 AM and wake up at like 8:30 for class. Come back at like 10:30 and crash until my afternoon classes.

Monday, Wednesday:

Sleep around 4-5 AM and wake up around noon for afternoon classes.

Thursday:

Wake up around noon, go to afternoon class. Begin partying for the weekend immediately at 4:05 on Thursday afternoon.

Thursday night - Saturday night: ???????????????????????

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

One summer during high school I would play 4 handed poker in my basement from about 10 PM untill 7 AM. We would be going out to breakfast when my mom was heading to work. Then I'd sleep most of the day, then we'd do it again.
Brag: two brother owed me $500, had to cut them off cause the credit thing was getting too out of hand.

I quit my summer job about 2 weeks before school started last fall, so my sleep schedule was pretty normal. My buddy worked from 7-3 I think. He would get off work at 3, take a nap, I'd call him and then we'd go drink untill about 2 AM. He sleep for a few hours during the night then go to work, take a nap, then do it again.

Turns out he got sick after doing that for about 2 weeks.

One of my friends stayed up for a long amount of hours without sleep, I can't remember the exact number though. But, all he would do to try and stay awake was drink energy drinks such as red bull. He was so tired that he was sitting up talking to someone and fell asleep and just leaned over on the couch in mid sentence.

He stayed up for several days, several times in a short amount of time, he ended up getting mono.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I win this thread.

Friday- go to sleep 6am. (i have a class at 9) Sleep through it. sleep all day, wake up at 9pm.

Saturday- Go to sleep at 7am. Wake up at 7pm.

Sunday- Go to sleep at 6am. Wake up at 845pm.

Today (Monday)- Tried going to sleep at 4am. Couldn't sleep. Got up, read for a couple of hours, went back to bed at 7am. Still couldn't fall asleep, but laid in bed for an hour and a half before getting up to go to my 9am class. Get back to my room at 11 after class and breakfast. I have a class at 120. I lay down for a nap, set my alarm for 1. I fall asleep immediately, sleep through the alarm, and sleep until 830pm today.

OK so it's 2am now. Any suggestions on how to get to sleep before 4am so I can be at my 10am and 1pm classes tomorrow? I've never taken any sleep aids or anything, and don't have any here.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

about a week ago i was going to bed around 10am, waking up around 6pm. this week, im waking up at around 730am and giong to bed around 11pm. it changes every week.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

funny this thread is being bumped to the top, im pulling an all-nighter currently hoping to help fix my sleep schedule up a bit. My goal is to just get myself up by 1pm daily...

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

why do ppl have so much trouble functioning on less than 8 hours of sleep. just get 2-4 hours of sleep on one night, and you can fix your sleep schedule.

i generally sleep from 3:30am -10:00am ( i like how i havta specify "am," b/c of weirdos in this thread).

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

thursday night- go to sleep at ~5am/wake up ~4pm
...repeat through sunday
sunday night- stay up through monday, go to classes, go to sleep~ 7pm
...repeat til thursday

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I used to have a really [censored] up sleep schedule last year...

it composed of 2 naps pretty much. I'd wake up at 4a.m. in the morning. Stay up until about 12 in the afternoon when all my classes were done. I'd take a nap and sleep until about 4-5p.m. I stayed up until about 12 a.m. and slept again until 4 in the morning.

I was really [censored] up and it continued for about a week. then i fixed it by staying up like 20something hours on a friday.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

lol doug. I usually do 1:30am to 6:30am on weeknights.

This uberman sleep schedule seems nice, but I'm wondering if it'd be possible to maintain it in college. I can't really skip classes too much, and I'm in a weird school where we have schedules similar to high school (1-hour classes, about 4-5 classes a day). I'll have to look into it.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I have been in an awful pattern lately. Some days I stay up 24 hours or more playing poker and it messes everything up. I slept from 9 AM to 930 PM today. I wake up and everyone else is going to bed.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

I work on a 25.5-hour day.

Need to find some way of slowing down earth's rotation...

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

Do I get any sort of prize for having 2 different sleep schedules in a week? Tues/Thurs get up 9:30 for classes. Fri-Mon get up between noon and 4pm depending on what I did the day before aka how late I got back from playing live. Wednesday is a wildcard, I have a class at 4pm and I usually wake up around noon, but sometimes earlier, sometimes later.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

Mine is completely messed up because I have class from 4PM-9PM right now.

Yesterday I went to sleep at 9AM and woke up at 3:30PM. Yes, I have to set my alarm to wake up at 3:30...

I think I'm going to stay up until 9-10PM tomorrow night to get it back to normal.

Re: Most messed up sleep schedules
 

Junior and Senior years of college I finally figured out how to live a schedule that allowed me to have fun and study.

7am wake up
8am - noon classes
noon - 1pm lunch
1pm - 5pm sleep.
6pm - 1am dinner, screw around
1am - 4am study after everyone went to bed
4am - 7am sleep.

Got around 7 hrs of sleep a day and had time to study in peace. Didn't your parents ever tell you nothing good ever happens between 1pm and 5pm?

After college I got into the bed at sunrise wake at sunset sleep schedule to match my buddies in the service industry. That was screwed up.
