Who's juices flow better in the early hours? i normally need a good 18 hours sleep, but recently Ive started to become nocturnal.

I don't usually get to bed until around 5-6am...
I can just think easier when i'm confined to my room

I would be like this if I didnt have school in the morning, so I get to bed at 3-4 am usually

i also feel im at my prime late nights, but when i can i love waking up eating some breakfast and just mangle with some tunes.. i have noticed i tend to write more dark chilled out tunes at night

maybe im exaggerated a tad, its defiantly 12+

i thought i was just a freaky nocturnal person haha. this is exactly what i do. everything just seems to happen so much better when the moon rises haha. glad i'm not the only one

5 , 6 am? 12 hr sleep?? what on earth do u motherfuckers dooooooo

I gtg to bed now. i's 11:30, up for work at 7.... i need the 7.5hr minimum or i'm dead.

i sleep anywhere from 6-12 hours. but i need around 8 to feel good. i usually stay up pretty late but i cant produce till 5am i get too lazy after about 3 to produce. but i do like to produce at night or sometimes late morning after a big breakfast.

I’m 100% nocturnal. Sometimes, even on sleeping pills, I can’t fall asleep until 4/5am. And yes, production, for me never quite kicks off until after 11pm. I could have been sitting there all day doing nothing and blam...

apparently anything beyond 8 hours starts to become negative.

Been a night person since I was young too. Some of my earliest memories of it were being like 11 playing Monopoly and Mortal Kombat all night with friends who "slept over". All my close friends now are like that as well, usually operating during the night.

I rented a studio for a few years, and we never even went there during the day. Cannot recall even once. Usually we drove up at 10-11 pm and stayed until daylight. It was downtown by a couple of clubs and in an industrial area, so the whole vibe was great for working on music during the night.

Everything's more calm, peaceful, and quiet at night. No traffic jams, people rushing around, or loud construction crews etc.

5-6hrs most nights does me fine.

i have a picture of how you can hack your brain into thinking (well actually you ARE fully rested) that its fully rested all the time by only taking 6 20 minute naps a day. and be full awake the rest of the time

post it!

I usually need about 9 hrs of sleep to be fully rested. It's only possible in the weekends though.
Normally I sleep for 5-6 hrs and then I'm tired all day until I'm out of work

you can only trick your brain for so long, then you die from all the complications of sleep deprivation.

Death / Sleep?

I choose sleep

sadly i cant find the picture anymore but i cant share some interesting information about how i used to sleep in all the time and woke up late and pissed everyone off due to that, to using my bed as a charging system for my body and nothing more, "going to bed" was nothing special anymore and was simply just recharging.
Do you start every morning with an internal argument over whether or not to hit the snooze button on your alarm clock again? Do you struggle to fall asleep at night and end up catching a “second wind” that lands you on the couch watching TV at 4am? If so, this sleep hack is for you.
Sure the term “hack” has been used a lot. But in terms of simplification of a very complex process into two quick steps, this hack takes a very large cake. Keep reading to see what I mean.
I stumbled upon this sleep hack weeks ago. Like some of the better hacks in existence, this one was unearthed by necessity. I’d reduced my belongings to fit into two carry-on’s (another post entirely) and headed to work in Boston.
I’d only given myself 6 days to find a place to live and it wasn’t until my final day of searching that I finally found an apartment. It was cheap. It had a bed and desk. It was Sunday night. By the time I’d signed a lease it was too late to go shopping for bedding. There was a clean fitted sheet in the bedroom closet that fit the mattress. I had no soft pillows, no 1200 thread count sheets, and no down comforter.
I took the bath towel from my bag, folded it a few times, and used it as a pillow. It was a warm night and I slept easily. I woke in the early morning chill of darkness. It was 5am. I didn’t need to be up for hours.
But I had no reason to stay in bed. Bed was cold. Bed was unwelcoming. I had slept. I was awake. The day had begun.
As days slipped by, I continued to sleep on that fitted sheet and mattress. Each night I’d get tired around 10:30pm, drink some water, and fall asleep immediately. Each morning I’d wake, grab my towel and head to the shower. I no longer had to argue with myself over whether or not I’d get out of bed.
If I woke very early and still felt tired, I might fall back asleep for another hour but only if I really needed it. Those accidental morning naps I’d experienced in the luxury of my previous bed no longer haunted me. I was free.
I now have a regular sleep schedule with better rest than I’ve had in years. I wake on-time without an alarm and enjoy an extra 10-12 hours per week that I’d have spent awake but in bed in years past. It’s really, really good.
So here’s the hack.

Step 1: Treat your bed like a recharging station.
Get rid of the temptation to treat your bed like anything other than a recharging station. You won’t need books by your bed. You won’t need fancy pillows (unless your doctor says you must). Your bed is a place to help you get from wake to wake in as little time as possible with optimum rest. If you’re young like me the mattress won’t be such a big deal. If you’re over 40 you’ll want to make sure you’ve got a good mattress though.
Step 2: Get rid of your bedding
If you’re really, really tough you can just fold all your bedding up and put it in another room. Chances are good that you’ll give up and drag you bedding back in the middle of the night if you can though. I recommend giving your bedding to a local homeless shelter or, if it’s really ratty, throwing it out.
Step 3: Try it for at least 7 days
One night won’t work. You need to give yourself time to get used to this lean way of sleeping. If you wake up at midnight and feel cold, don’t grab a blanket. Throw on a sweatshirt instead. Most of us live in climate controlled housing so there’s really no excuse for all the bedding we tend to heap on ourselves.
Does this sound crazy? Sure. Does it work? Absolutely yes. I love sleeping in a big bed with warm blankets and big pillows. But I don’t need that extra sleep right now. I don’t need the morning arguments with my alarm clock. I need productivity. If you feel the same, I suggest you give this a try.
