i'm usually up till about 3-5am or so, then i'm usually awake by 9am. even on the weekends i'm up early. but then again i sometimes take a 2 hour nap during the day. when my ex lived with me, i slept more just to get away from him.

I usually sleep in until 9a on the days i do not work. Lately my lack of sleep has been effecting my work because I am no getting to sleep until about an hour before I am due up. And the stress of no sleep adds more stress on me.

normally i get to bed by 10p past two nights it has been midnight, today i woke up at 5:45a cause my body must know it is a school day. the latest i slept in this wknd was 8a. i usually wake up early on school days. hopefully i will get to sleep by 10p tonight.

im usually up anywhere from 1am and later. gotta be up by 6 to get my boy up for school.
last nite i got like 2hrs.of sleep ugh!

I always go to sleep early and then awake early. Today, I woke up at 7 AM. Sometimes I go through a cant sleep spell, that sucks.

It's almost a routine--go to bed around 9:00 P.M., wake up at 10:00-10:30 after waking up once or twice, an hour or so nap during the day.

I am usually up til midnight then sleep until 9 or 10. On weekends it is the same...bugs my husband though because he says I sleep half the day away. He's usually up by 6am weekdays but sleeps in on the weekends.

For me it depends on whether I am cycling or not. If I am hypo manic, three or four hours sleep is all I need. If I am depressed, I go to bed around midnight and I am up by 6 a.m. However, I dont have much energy physically during the day. My mind is always moving though, not necessarily racing, but thinking about anything and everything.

When I am stable and balanced, I go to bed around 10 with my husband and am up by 5:30 a.m. with him in the morning. I try very hard to keep my sleep schedule as regular as possible otherwise I trigger a cycle. Hugs

if im lucky im asleep before midnight. i get drug out of bed at 6 so i can lay on the couch in the morning while the kids get ready for school. i nap a little after they all leave and start my day by 10. on the weekends i sleep till about 830 or so

Unless something happens :S I am in bed by two am and get up around noon. That is only because of seroquel. Without it I would stay up for days, with maybe a hour or two hear and there.

I'm screwed on both ends! I usually stay up late becuase I suffer from hypomania (I'm bipolar II) in the evening and can't get to sleep. Then I'm very depressed in the morning but need to get up early to go to work. I seem to make up for it on the weekend by getting a lot of sleep.

i try to get up by 8am. if i sleep later then i feel lethargic during the day

my sleep patterns were so messed up before i started seroquel last week .. i never slept but now like over the weekend i went to bed around midnight and slept till 1pm on saturday and 11am on sunday and 12pm today and it was so hard to get up.. i have to get up earlier tomorrow .. not sure how thats gonna go

I tend to be a night person myself and as such work a night shift at my work. I work 4PM - 12:30AM. My wife works day shift at 7AM and does not drive. I typically go to sleep by about 2 - 3AM, wake up at 6AM to get her off to work and get back to sleep by 9AM. I will usually average between 5 - 6 hours of sleep during the week. One thing that helps me is using an alpha wave sleep CD. What these do is helps you fall asleep faster and put you into a restorative deep sleep much faster. I don't know what I would do without it. If anyone is interested I can either message you a link or post it on here.

do normies have this much trouble sleeping?
