What is your sleeping pattern like?
 

Mine is anywhere from 3-5am till 9-11am right now, quite like going to bed later and waking up later for a change

It's ok. I sleep a lot better than I used to. Back in march I was so sick I couldn't sleep at all.
But now I get enough sleep.

Like 2-9/10 ish

11:30-7 atm

11 to 5.30am and 11 to 8.30 on weekends

Last night I had anightmare and woke up shouting like a madman. The TL was duntng me with her pillow to wake up

:skull:

around 11 to 7:30am, and 11:30 to 8:30 weekends

11ish to 6.30 am, get up around 7./7.30, I hate not being able to sleep so I keep busy during the day

It’s been a bit of a mess since I started working home. Anywhere from 1-4am to about 9:30am+

I sleep from about 3am until 11am nowadays

I'm going to bed a bit later and getting up a bit later than if I was going into work but I'm still getting roughly the same amount of sleep......maybe a little bit more. Last night I went to bed at 12:30 and woke up around 9:30

No pattern.
Shut my eyes and sleep, chair or bed.
I do go to bed between 12-2 and get up anywhere between 7 and 9.30.
But I normally have a couple of naps through the day as well.

on average, probably going to sleep around 11.30PM/12:30AM and waking up from 7AM-10AM

It use to be terrible but I s2g since I move into my own flat I can go sleep at like midnight and sleep all through and not get tired in the day

About 1.30am - whenever the littlest decides to barge out of her room. Anywhere between about 7.30 and 9am, it's a surprise.

7am-2pm

:skull: Not you being nocturnal.

That's not good for anyones mental health :nono:

To be fair that was my sleep pattern towards the end of University - I was working in a bar kitchen and my usual shift was 3pm - 11pm so I just ended up shifting around to that being like a normal work day :umm2:... I'd get up at 2pm, shower, go to work until 11 then come home and be up all night until 6 or 7am. I had a housemate who had classes at 9 every day, him getting up to shower was usually my cue to go to bed :joker:.

There's nothing inherently wrong with it mental health wise, so long as you're getting enough sleep and it fits with your life otherwise. But it's obviously not a sustainable pattern when you're out of that "young ppl" phase.

Our genes are still hardwired to sleep when dark and rise when light. The more you ignore that the worse it is for your body.

Is that particularly true or is it a baseless assumption? :hee: People who work nights have similar sleeping patterns and I don't think sleeping from 7am-2pm is going to send you into a downward spiral mentally.

Wrong. An inconsistent sleeping pattern is bad for the body but if you're used to sleeping at those times there's literally no additional detriment to mental health if you go to bed at 7am and wake up at 2pm than there is if you go to bed at 10pm and wake up at 7am...

Not getting enough sleep is not conductive to good mental health, any mental health professional will tell you that routine, sleep, exercise, fresh air are the foundations of improving mental health

There are numerous studies that indicate working night shifts can affect your physical and mental well being

I mentioned it because Reece said he was struggling with lockdown, so sleeping through the day wont help in my humble opinion

Sleeping throughout the morning =/= not getting enough sleep. 7am-2pm is still 7 solid hours of sleep. Not to mention, 7-2 every day sounds like a routine to me. It also doesn't prevent you from doing exercise or getting fresh air.

The article you linked was interesting. But, working night shifts increases your risk of diabetes, heart disease and cancer? This sounds strikingly similar to the ridiculous over-exaggeration that being on your phone too much causes cancer :laugh:
