Sleeping habits.

This is a topic to discuss any sleeping habits you might have. I have to have a fan on to be able to sleep properly even in the middle of winter.

lol I thought I was the only person who did that. I turn on the fan on full blast and I cover myself with a big blanket. It feels warmer for me? Like a bear in hibernation xD

I'm having trouble sleeping lately, but that's because of the heat. It's been in the high 60s or low 70s at night right now where I live and I don't have central air. I usually go to bed at about anywhere from 2-4 in the morning and end up getting up at around 10-11, with periods of time where I'm tossing and turning and not able to sleep.

As for habits I have to have my computer on. There has to be some kind of background noise, and as childish as it sounds I don't like sleeping when it is pitch black. I mean I can, but I much prefer to have like my screensaver on or something. I also sleep naked most of the time. In the winter I'll wear a shirt because otherwise I wake up with a sore throat from having my chest exposed, but otherwise I'm naked. Most people either find that incredibly odd, or completely agree with me. Oh, and I always have a small glass of white grape juice right before bed, it's just a habit of mine.

Hour wise, I never stay the same. I'll have a sleep pattern for a couple of weeks, but usually no more than that before I change it to another time. Give me a month or two and I've slept every hour of the day at one point or another. Actually the sleep schedule I'm on now is probably the most consistent one I've had since I was in school. I think I've been on this one for about a month actually. XD

Gotta have three pillows; one for my head, one to squeeze/hug, and another as auxiliary. Most often I like to have my dog (Shadow; 80lb flat-coat retreiver) cuddle with me. Fan on for noise and circulation, and the room as cool as possible. (seriously, if that repairman doesn't come back soon I'll hook the condenser back up myself!)

Currently My sleep pattern is bed at 3/4 AM and up 8-11AM, usually 9/10.

Also have to fap before bed otherwise sex-thoughts float through my head and I have all kinds of issues going to sleep.

I sleep faced down and usually wake up with a boner.

i sleep never havnt been to sleep yet XD jking i sleep when i want to if i can

If I want to sleep during the night I have to be too tired to think. But for some reason I can nap whenever I want during the day (like 10am-5pm).

As others have said I must have a fan on or something with some kind of background noise. I also don't sleep with it pitch black in my room. I don't like the darkness but I can sleep in it if necessary. It also can't be hot (which it has been the past few nights). I ten to sweat a lot when I sleep in hot weather and then the bed sheets feel most and sticky which most of the time ends up ruining my whole nights sleep.

Lately I have been getting too much sleep. I am getting an average of 14 hours of sleep per day and that's not healthy. To counter my sleepiness I have been doing even more activities. I have since taken up early morning jogging. That's when I realized how out of shape my cardiovascular was. I suppose I have two years of little morning then typing as exercise to blame for that but we make out own beds as they say. A pretty fitting saying for this subject wouldn't you say?

I'm nocturnal and I sleep walk and I sleep talk but when I'm not doing any of that I sleep very comfortably like whenever people watch me sleep they always tell me I look so comfortable cause mostly when i go to bed that's exactly how I wake up don't move a muscle.

I sleep normally... whatever you call that. I can sleep with or without the fan on and usually it's pretty dark in my room, as the streetlight sort of penetrates my room but it's weak. I like to have some sort of outside light coming in so that when I wake up I can judge my time. I do have a hard time getting up. Give or take, I usually take from 5 to 30 minutes before falling asleep, and some people consider that fast. Heat and humidity drive me nuts.

I absolutely cannot sleep without the fan on. It must be so dark I cannot see my hand in front of my face. Also, my internal clock is very fucked up. I CANNOT sleep for more than 4 hours a time. The last time I did was like 3 years ago. No matter how tired I am, even if I stay up for more than 48 hours (which I have tried), I will wake up within 4 hours.

I always have a pillow I hug when sleeping. ^ ~ ^

This applies to me as well. also i like to have my t.v on not necceserlyon a channel I usually just have it on a blue screen not sure why but it helps me sleep.

@elder: no longer pure...just what are you implying there?

as for me, i find it very hard to sleep comfortably if the room's not pitch black...it's as if, light irritate me somehow. and i don't really need a fan, as long as the temp of the room is just right...but whenever i have a fan, i use it. gotta like the breeze...and i rarely use blankets. also, somehow when i wake up i always find myself in a weird posture, usually leading to cramps. ah, as usual, i use dakimakura whenever i can.

When I start to feel sleepy, I go through these steps before sleeping:

1. Placing my cellphone and alarm clock at my bedside desk, right under the lamp
2. Setting up my laptop to keep BitTorrent running all night
3. Drink a glass of milk and bring a glass of water to my bedroom

If the day is M/W/F, I do step 4:
4. Change bed sheets

Then I close all lights, turn on the ceiling fan and I go to sleep.

Most of the time I sleep at 2AM and wake up at 5PM. On weekdays I get 3 hours sleep. At weekends I end up paying sleep debt and sleep from 12AM to 2PM.

Mine are pretty random/weird. I actually do some of things you guys do plus more. Sometimes when I sleep on on my back. I quite literally "rise up" like a stereotypical vampire crossed arms and all. On my side I wake up already seeing my arms do all sorts of gestures (including martial arts katas) (well atleast one gesture per day). When it comes to patterns of sleep I beat you all. It's purely random. One day It midnight, another its the afternoon, and even day break.

A long time ago I had a nasty cold which resulted in me getting two blankets just to keep warm...and because of that I've grown itas an habbit to always sleep with blankets even during the hot summer nights.

I'm also somewhat of a night person normaly staying up to like 5AM on weekends before going to sleep, basically since I want to stay in touch with all the american users on FAKKU who's awake during that time.

Oh and I might also add that whenever I need to wake up at a certain hour I need atleast to snoze / halfsleep for like 1-2 hours before I get up, otherwise I'll turn into this kind of awake / sleepig zombie mode.

I go to sleep late, and now I don't have to get up to go to class I get up at 10-11 ish in the morning.
I have it slightly easier than Bamass as I am an hour earlier so can remain on longer.
I don't use blankets or duvets, my room is too warm.

i have to wear boxers and then cover myself with blanket, or else... my sleep became really uncomfortable
