I read an article earlier today about sleep scheduling in work life and at the end of the article (serious newspaper, btw) was this study linked you can fill out and they send you a PDF with your result and tips how to move your inner biological clock in a certain direction.
My results were pretty accurate I feel, they recommended me to get up to 30 minutes of more sleep during working days, which I feel a legitimiate suggestion, since I sleep from around 0:15 to around 6:25.
How do you guys sleep? Do you have an office job and work similar to me? Or do you have freelancing activities and you can schedule everything as you like or much more freely? Did your sleeping schedule ever get so weird that you ran into problems, maybe you had do to night shifts over a long period of time or because of unemployment? What do you think about methodologies that want to split the single one sleep during the night into a couple of hour long sleeps spread over the day? Any experiences?
Just a few short words to the article itself: It discussed the topic of some people just generally prefer to sleep in, because of their inner clock, and therefore they show a worse performance in school for example. Pretty interesting topic on its own.
My sleeping schedule has been horrendous as of late. I've been going to bed at 12 or 1 and waking up at 10 or 11. Way too much sleep. So I'm going to try and get on a 12ish to 8am regimen. None of my classes are before 12 and I can work from home, hence this situation.
Right now I am a normal type, but this is because I go to sleep early and sleep in as long as I need (no job).
But I am usually an early bird. Sleep around 11pm and wake up around 5:30-6am, go for a run, take the day slow etc. My most efficient working hours are from 8-12am and then again from 4-6pm As I am looking for a place to do my PhD, and I always like the chrono-sciences, I checked out the website of one of the labs in the chronoprotein project and might apply for a stop :D
