> [@Jason\_Kennedy](#): > > have done a small amount of research but my understanding is that you go to bed and sleep at consistent times. I agree with this You have your morning people (me) that has been conditioned to wake at 3am for work over the years. Now retired but still find myself getting sleepy at dark and awake by 4am. I did stay up til 10:00 last night waiting to see if Santa would come to our camp site. I fell asleep before he came. Darn… Then there are the late night types (my spouse). Going to bed at 12:00 to 1:00 am and sleeping til 9:00 to 10:00 am. We both function best when we follow our natural patterns. Now if I could just fix the lite sleeper in me to be more like my spouse or dog and be able to fall back asleep in minutes after having to pee. ---

I try to be very consistent, and usually tend to go to bed earlier on weekends than weekdays just because it feels extra luxurious haha. In bed by 21, wind down and watch some series until I pass out at 22. Wake up at 08:00 usually. There is nothing worse than being tired… ---

We try to get the whole family in bed by 830. My alarm is set for 4AM during the week. I usually sleep in until 7 on the weekends. Unfortunately, due to having 2 kids under 4yo, taking a very strong diuretic, and recently developing insomnia, it’s rarely good quality sleep. I rarely have the energy to exercise. ---

I’m the opposite of most on here. Go to bed about 11pm, fiddling on my phone for about an hour , then listen to podcast till I fall asleep. Wake up around 8 am in winter , have breakfast in bed, do Sudoku ,then go and do horses It hasn’t always been like this ,but I’ve always gone to bed quite late ---

I go to sleep around 8:15-30pm and wake up around 3:30-45am. After a little morning preparation and refueling, my training time is 2 hours from 4:00 to 6:00 on work days and 3 hours from 4:00 to 7:00 on off days. I think I am a morning person because I used to get up before my parents got up and play by myself since I was a child. Even now (in my 40s), it seems that I am still playing early in the morning. ![IMG_8301](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/trainerroad/original/3X/3/9/399861f4d8a7bc8c040053dc9db933e7d39ddc13.jpeg) ---

Yeah i should read more, i might put a book in the bathroom lol. I tend to do my duolingo before i sleep because its when i have time to talk out loud into my phone & also when i remember to do it. Maybe not great as sometimes my brain has decided to go to sleep by this point 😛 ---

My daughter is still very young and sleeping time is my training time. The only days we can train during the day are when we have weekdays off and while our daughter is at school. ---

Look up the concept of segmented sleep. This article might reassure you that waking up in the night is not something to worry too much about, people used have two sleeps for centuries: > **[Sleep: why they used to do it twice a night | Laura Barton](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2012/feb/24/sleep-twice-a-night-anxiety)** > > Laura Barton: The need to sleep eight hours is the cause of much stress. But for centuries we happily woke up in the middle of the night Apart from the usual sleep hygiene advice the best idea I ever heard was that if you need an alarm clock you didn’t get enough sleep. For clarity, I don’t get enough! ---
