What are your sleeping habits like? When do you go to bed...? And how long after you go to bed does it take you to get to sleep? Do you make your own bed time... or does someone else make it for you? Do you go to bed at the same time every night.. or does it vary?*

*Please don't answer all those questions. Or do... but at least not in that order. They were just put there to generate thought .-. In that regard... don't feel limited to answering just those either.
Being wrong isn't "bad", failing to admit that you are, is.

Usually I sleep around 9:30-10:15 P.M and wake up at 4:46-5:46. Or sleep at 12:50-1:50- 7:23 A.M. Sometimes my mother tells me to go upstairs, but if I have something to take care of, I sacrifice 2 hours of my sleep time and I wake up late.

Because I work during the evenings, my sleep schedule is pretty messed up. The earliest I think I've gotten to sleep in the past month was about 2:00 AM, but it's generally closer to 3:30-4:00 when I normally go to sleep. I usually get up between 11:00 AM and noon, which isn't so bad if I don't have to go to work for a few hours, but it sucks to get up at that time when I have the day off, and the day is already half over.

Right now it's up at 8:30 Mondays/Wednesdays, Noon on Tuesdays/Thursdays, and Fridays at 10:00, but I have to get some extra sleep before work at often 8:30p into 5a where I go to bed at 7 and wake up at 3p just to do the same thing for Saturday into Sunday, but instead on Sunday I only sleep for 4 hours so I can resume for Monday. Bit of a mouthful I know, but yeah.

My sleeping schedule is a solid 3am-11am lol. I have sleep apnea so it's never a decent sleep and I always wake up tired, but I perk up quickly enough :P

oh no a thread about sleeping habits

My sleeping habits are so craycray. I go to sleep when I get tired and wake up when I am not tired anymore. So sometimes I'll sleep like a normal person and go to sleep at night and wake up in the morning and other times I'll go to sleep in the morning and wake up in the early-mid afternoon. Oh, and then sometimes I'll go to sleep in the early afternoon and wake up at night. Imagine what that does to my sleep schedule.

Also hours vary. A lot. I'm not going to get started on them.

Uh, the times I go to bed and wake up vary. I try to be in bed before 1am regardless, but sometimes that happens and sometimes it doesn't. If I wake up at 7-8am I try to be in bed by midnight. Like lately I'd say I've been good at hitting the 1am mark and lying down, but that's because I've been opening for a week straight.
If I nap, it'll be a late bedtime guaranteed. But naps are so much fuuuuuun :(

I wake up when I need to. If I work, it's 40 minutes before I have to leave the house, unless I'm going in after 12pm, in which case I wake up whenever. If I open, it's either 7:20 or 8:20 (if I get a ride I get to sleep in!). On days off, I wake up whenever, take a nap, and then go to bed really late.

Unless I am super dead tired, it'll take me at least 20 minutes to actually fall asleep once I lie down, sometimes an hour or more. If it's a really bad night (up too late/not tired at a decent time/want to make sure I get decent sleep), I'll take some OTC sleeping pills, which almost always knock me out within the hour.

I need a quilt when I sleep. Thin sheets don't cut it. This sucks in the summer. </3

Oh! And I've had a few cases of sleep paralysis kind of thing. I'd wake up suddenly due to noises, want to move, but couldn't. Can't even speak. That's very frightening. And every time I think it's like an intruder or something so I want to get up and investigate but I can't. :(

I usually go to bed at around 11pm - 1am every night, depending on my mood or what's on television, lol.

I'd say it takes me around 3-5 minutes for me to actually fall asleep, and I rarely often change my schedule around.

God, I wish I had more lucid dreams....

Oh lord, my sleep schedule...... is relatively normal, actually, compared to quite a few other people on the internet that I've had the pleasure of engaging in charming conversation with at 4am in the morning their time. I go to sleep at about 1 AM, though more and more often I decide to just kill the late night fun and go to bed at about 11:30, not because I want a good sleep, but because I'm bored. I always have to wake up at 6:30 on weekdays to go to work, so it's better that I go to sleep earlier but sometimes the internet is just too darn fun!

My sleep is highly variable, depends on where I am right now. Last month when I was in Moscow I slept at 10/12 midnight to 6am(usually). This time because I'm at home, I sleep late then wake up late. I have to be in my own little world in about 10-30 before I get to sleep. Although it annoys me most when someone or something disturbs me when I'm having REM.

Sleep for me is very crazy. I have to be up at 7 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at 8 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Even though I have to be up early, I can't go to sleep before 12 a.m. :( On the weekends I go to sleep around 2 to 3 a.m. and wake up at............3 or 4 p.m. lol I can sleep 12 hours or more easily when I have no reason to wake up early especially when the weather is colder. My bed is too comfortable to get up from especially when it takes me forever to actually fall asleep no matter how tired I am.

(In case you're wondering, it is 1:30 a.m. at the time of this post xD )

Completely variable. Recently it's been from 4:30-9:30 in the morning, with a 1-2 hour afternoon nap anywhere from 1:00-4:00. And it's not enough sleep for me, though I can't seem to force myself to get more sleep than that :/

I was diagnosed with insomnia a few years ago so basically my sleep pattern is completely messed up. I tend to get to sleep anywhere between 2am on a good day and 6/7am on a bad day (quite often just won't be able to sleep at all), and wake up between 5-10am, so it's really varied and very very very tiring. Running on around 8-10 hours for a 7-day period is not nice haha, but occasionally I'll just crash and sleep for pretty much a whole day straight as a result of it so yeah, fun times! It's somewhat useful having the nights free to do work and stuff if you know you're just not going to sleep though, so that's a bonus I guess.

I go to bed at midnight...maybe a bit after. Then I get up when my mom just about drags me out of bed. (;

But it varies because I get into insomnia ruts from time to time. So I might be in bed that time but not actually be sleeping.
I can't think of a good signature.
