hello insomniacs, i was wondering if anyone has a similar sleeping schedule to mine, my problem is i can't fall asleep until i have been 16,17h awake, then i just drift from exhaustion and get some very good sleep but no more than 9h, im worrying whether this is healthy in the long run, any ideas

Your sleeping schedule sounds OK to me. Many of us would love to get "some very good sleep" for 9 hours. Why are you worried?

If you're awake for 16 hours in a 24cycle, means you get 8hours of good sleep- that is NORMAL.
My sleep is 6 hours every 24hours, sometimes 5 - and the sleep is not that good. You have nothing to complain about in the sleeping department my friend.
