This may not belong in this forum, who knows anymore, but I was wondering, most techs I know are night owls. I myself stay up until midnight pretty much every night messing around with something or another. I have to be up by 6:30 am. I was curious if theres a trend in Techs and sleep habits......of course on weekends I burn up some sleep time.
I wind up doing the same thing. The problem is I need to be at work at 6 am. I realy have a hard time getting up at 4:30 am when I only get to sleep at 1. https://forums.windrivers.com/

Hey? Why is my computer promting me if I would like to accept a cookie? Is it Oatmeal or Chocolate Chip?
If I'm left to my own devices (i.e., no work), I tend to stay up until 2-4 in the morning, then sleep til noon. [img]http://cwm.ragesofsanity.com/s/dvv/ah****.gif[/img]

Ive been wondering about this for a while ...
I usually go to bed between midnight, and 2am. At work by 7:30. Spend most of sunday sleeping to recouperate.
i got to bed rather early actually. right when i can see the light from the day star, i got to where i have a bed made in my tub and start sleeping (since there are no windows in there) praying this night isn't the night the cockroach queen comes and lays her eggs in my eyesockets.
Sleep is for the weakminded and content!! Coffee is the elixer of productivity and Don't forget to eat. There is always one more hour of work, or play that can be squezzed in--NO EXCEPTIONS!! Life is short make the most of it. I have no intent to die at 90 having spent 30 years in bed!!!
Since I work at home it really doesn't matter much, but I find it easier to get more work done between midnite and 6 AM as I have no distractions,ie: girlfriend, business partner, end user 1d10ts,etc. Just me the machines and the munchies. https://forums.windrivers.com/
I sleep 3-4 hours a night somewhere in between 1am and 6am have to be to work at 10:00am work till 7 pm and start all over again, execept for all the before work and after work, service calls and friends. Got to love those friends. hahaha. I should get a life, I can't find one that I want, or I can afford.
between midnight and 3am and i have to get up at 6 to be at work on sundays i sleep till noon or later
It seems that my sleep paterns have good intentions, but I can't leave a computer that needs either tweeking or fixing alone. This means the majority of my late nights are spend here on the computer, doing stuff that in the big scheme, is probably totaly worthless. Later I always say to myself, I should have just gone to bed. Loss of time is also common around computers.....
I run my business out of my home
If I get 3 hours of sleep each night, I'm happy. Weekends get real tough, I have very little time to do any Hunny-Do's.
By the way ... What is this thing "A Vacation".

An obstacle is something you see when you take your eyes off your goal.
Getting in bed before 4:00am is a rare thing during the week, when i usually have to get up around 7-8am. On weekends I get in bed around 5 or 6am and get up around noon.
Well, last night i didnt go to sleep...but when i do go to sleep, its at about 3-4 in the morning....if i have to work...about 1 or 2 https://forums.windrivers.com/
I tell myself for weeks on end that I'm gonna go to bed early tonight, then end up staying up till about 1 or 2 in the morning and getting up at 7:30. After about 2 months of telling myself this, I finally do get to bed at about 10:00. Last night I was going to catch up on some sleep, but finally went to bed at 4:30 and got up at 9:00. Went back to bed at noon when the family went out and slept till 6:00. Now I'm good for another couple months.
Its now 12:11 on a Monday morning. I have to get up 6:30 to go to school(high school), and then at about 1 pm (13 hours from now) I will go to work untill 7 pm. And I will repeat this daily. I guess I really dont need sleep afterall. BTW, just installed WIN2K, and its Awsome. also, I now work for AOL Time Warner, ohh yay! I can now get AOL over Cable lines, just what I always wanted.
------------------
Well, I sleep from about 8 AM to 4 PM usually, but I have an excuse...I work 3rd shift. Nice and quiet too.

Sleep? We sleep?
Seriously, I usually go to bed at around 1am. Sometimes as late as 2am. I have to get up for work at 6am.
After 10 hours of providing support for others, I get home at around 6pm. Usually eat dinner and crash on the couch until around 10pm.
Then, it's to the home computer lab to brush up on issues that came up during the day, maintain my own systems and server, or whatever.
Then it's to bed at 1am or 2am.
I have NO idea why I do this to myself https://forums.windrivers.com/
On the weekends, starting Friday night, I usually never see the bed. I watch a lot of movies on the weekend and tend to have a lot of 'Mini-Naps' on the couch instead of actually ever going to bed on the weekends. Scattered within this is a lot of time in the computer room, of course.
Is anyone else this strange?
I have tried to break these habits many times, but I can't seem to. Now that I'm getting a bit older (early 40's) it's starting to wear on me a bit https://forums.windrivers.com/
I contribute some of this to many nights underway on Cruisers and Destroyers, where I never got much sleep either. I was either in CIC on watch (watch supervisor) or doing other shipboard chores.
As anyone in the Navy will tell you, 7 months of Port-Starboard watchstanding will completely screw up your body clock.
It's been 11 years since I had such a strange daily cycle, but it seems to have stuck with me.

I can't _allow_ myself to go over 6.
I've got these damed steel rods, plates and screws in my lower spine, and if I stay in bed over 5 or 6 hours, my spine locks up and it takes me another hour just to get out of bed and get it freed up again.

On average I'll go to bed around 3:00am and get up by 8:00am...that's healthy...right?
I always find myself crashing around 12:30, im back up again at 7, 6.5 hours sleep? Enough for your? I wish I could live off that, I need to be sleeping by 11 or earlier to be able to wake up feeling alive. I'll agree with the rest of the techs, Sunday is the day of recooperation!! I sleep until past lunchtime usually on Sunday's. Hell its 9:30am right now and I still feel like ****, went to bed at 12:20 last night, up at 7. Feeling like crap sucks but computers are addictive https://forums.windrivers.com/

I would sincerely love to be able to stay up as much as most of the rest of you do... I used to. Until I got married. Now, I still pull a rare most-nighter with the aid of Aero bars for caffeine, but it ruins my energy for the next day at work and ruins my patience with the wife & kid.
Maybe if I get out of this @#$% retail trap I'll be able to hack it better...
16 hours a day awake just ain't enough!

There's an exception to every rule, except this one.
Lately, Sleep by 11 and up by 4-5am. Everybody counts the extra hour of napping during commuting right? About 1 hour of commuting one way, so a total of 2 hours everyday during work days.
Here of late, I've been getting to bed around 11pm or 12am and sleeping to 7am. I use to stay up later and get up earlier (3 to 6), but I'm living with my fiancee. She won't let me stay up that late any more (throws pillows at until I turn off the monitor, and she's a lite sleeper). I usually try to sleep as much as possibly on sundays too, but my fiancee wants me up to clean the apartment (like I don't do enough any way?). She's starting to let me sleep more on Sundays though https://forums.windrivers.com/

From the dark of night, comes... WHAT DO YOU MEAN INVALID PAGE FAULT!!
my case is i get started on something an the best part of it usually happens long before im suppose to be in bed so sometimes i stay up all night to finish it .. then i get a like 1 hour to sleep and wake up and i was more awake before the nap (in other words im a zombie).. my advice dont start stuff so late at night and you wont have my x-mas eyes (green eyes with red all around them) heheh https://forums.windrivers.com/
Sleep is definitely highly over-rated. 4am is the usual time I end up falling asleep. Maybe it's the two pots of coffee I drink everyday or the 6 mountain dews in the evening. Nah, couldn't be.
One of these days someone is going to develop a pill to eliminate sleep. God that would be great. I'm in bed around 12ish and up at 5am to leave for work by 5:30. I work from 6:00 am to 4:30pm. Go home eat and repeat the same process. Right now its 10:08am and I'm ready for bed. I hate computers when they aren't yours. I WANNA GO HOME. https://forums.windrivers.com/
I usually get to sleep around 1, wake up at 7 but I'm not awake until my first cup of coffee, 8 or 9. Coffee..... mmmmmmmmmm, love coffee.

I'm usually in bed anywhere between 10pm and 1pm, and get up at 6:30am. On weekends I stay up later, and sleep in until 9:30am or so. I try not to waste my whole weekend sleeping - it's short enough as it is! I usually have a nap in the afternoons on weekends.
Definetly a night owl. On weeknights, I stay up to 1ish and on the weekend I am usually up till just before the sun comes up
