When do you sleep?

Actually I have very erratic sleep patterns. Sometimes I fall asleep with ease and get the eleven hours I'm supposed to get, other times I don't sleep at night at all and just sit up thinking. And then there's other times I sleep in the afternoon for hours. I don't know why, either - could be

When do I sleep? Either from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. or midnight to 8 a.m., depending on the schedule of the day and the project for which I need privacy.

usually midnight to 7 0r 8 eastern time. I've worked 3rd shift before and can't recommend it.

I sleep at night. My boyfriend works midnights, so I see him off at about 11 or 11:15 and then the puppy and I crash on the bed and watch t.v. or read until I fall asleep. The puppy stares out the bedroom window and watches the traffic go by and protects us from INTRUDERS!!

Weeknights from about 10:30 or 11:00 till six. Weekends a little later, with maybe a short afternoon nap.

Usually when I'm tired, but lately I've been going to sleep around 3, 4, even 5 o'clock in the morning and sleeping until after noon.Blah. I can't do that much longer. Come August I have to be awake at 6 a.m. I'm just not a morning person.

I usually stay up to about 2 in the moring on the internet or watching tv. I end up waking up between 7 and 9, earlier if I have to go somewhere in the morning.

I usually try to fend off sleep for as long as possible. I should probably pop into bed about 10:30 / 11:00 but I can't stand the thought of loosing more awake time. I will doze off in front of the TV for about an hour and then about 11:30 or midnight finally surrender and go to bed. Depending on what day it is I wake up anywhere between 6:30 and 9:30 in the morning. I almost never sleep at other times during the day.

Involunatarily at night usually about 4 - 5 hours and then by Sunday I am so wrought I sleep all day. I am struggling to balance my job and my song writting, class and obligations. I have no social life. I stay up all night writing a song and sometimes don't go to bed until 7am. The worst part is i could just throw the song away and start over the next day. I always write my

Right now since it's summer, usually from 11:00 PM to 9:30-10:00 AM.

I used to be a total insomniac and sleep only in the daytime, but now on weekdays I try to get to bed at 12pm and get up by 11am the latest. On weekends it's a bit later.

Usually at night....as long as I can. I always set my alarm as late as possible and rush rush rush to get ready in the morning. Sleep is one of my favorite pasttimes!!

Never during the day. And, never before 12:30 or 1 am.

I go to bed around 11 or 11:30. My goal this summer is to wake up everyday at 6am, even though my job doesn't start until August 1. I know, it sounds crazy, but I love the cool calmness of the morning and don't think that this time should be wasted by sleeping through it! I also have been striving to not only wake up by 6am, but to actually be down by the lake jogging by this time! Since I'm not working this summer, I have the luxury of taking a nap in the afternoon!

At night, although I wish I could take naps during the day, I get really  tired towards the afternoon.

When I am tired, usually 00:00 to 06:00.   If I am really tired I can cat-nap which is really refreshing, but damn annoying according to my hubby.

The question would be when would I prefer to sleep??..which would be every morning!

Generally I turn the lights out between 9:30 and 11:00 in the evening and I wake up between 6:00 and 7:30 in the morning. I like to nap on Sunday afternoons, too
