Roughly 16-18 years ago when I became disabled, I also discontinued a regular sleep schedule. Especially once I moved out on my own in '07. So, basically, I do not go to sleep at a specific time, or get up at a specific time - unless I have an appointment - and I basically use a lassez faire attitude about sleeping. I do not try to stay awake, nor do I force myself to sleep. I sleep when I'm tired, I wake up when my body says it is refreshed.
Which means I have very irregular sleep patterns; sometimes I'm awake from 8AM until 3AM, then maybe awake at 7AM, then possibly nap at 2PM for a couple of hours, or whatever. Sometimes I will take a break, close my eyes and just rest for a few minutes, especially when I'm trying to solve a problem and need to do some deep thinking. So my sleep schedule is never the same two days in a row.
There can be something said for having regular hours and consistent sleeping schedules, but I really can see no reason for having one unless you have someplace to go and someplace to be at some specific time. Also, I think far too many people cut back on sleep in order to work more hours. For some, they have to; their level of education or experience traps them in low-paying jobs. For others, it's a lifestyle choice. They want all the perks of a high salary and a high-cost lifestyle to go with it. But what are expensive toys if you never have time to plat with them? |
