Sleeping habits / Team-BHP Insomniac's thread

Surprise · 29th August 2005, 16:59

Would be interesting to run another poll to check how long people sleep. Could not believe some of the data's, may be reality.

PS: I am not going to initiate a poll like that

weekdays sleep at around 11-1130 , wake up at 630-645..
long gone are those days when I slept at 3am and got up at 930

shuvc · 1st September 2005, 15:57

go to sleep at 1:30 to 2am
up by 8am ..
drowsy all day .. but can't help it .. my 5 month old kiddo has the last laugh !

I'm a day sleeper.
The night is my day and the day is my night.
Except for some rare occasions.

Nice to see you again, Gtea.

I see a lot of nightbirds here, especially the Bangalore crowd. How do I know? Because I'm one of those too!

pratheesh · 31st January 2006, 11:43

it depends...when i have to download something i will wait till my happy hours (2.00-8.00)...to sleep!!! else i will sleep before 11.30

tifosikrishna · 31st January 2006, 11:52

i hit the sack usually before 11:30 and out of bed before seven. but, anytime if need be, can wake up from even from sound sleep and be ready in a jiffy...

speedsatya · 31st January 2006, 12:01

i always sleep the next day ...i.e after 12 am and have my alarm for 830 am as my office is just 5 mins walk ...on saturdays and sundays i wake up around 11 am ....but if there is a drive scheduled ..i never sleep at all

n_aditya · 31st January 2006, 17:26

been in the BPO scene for almost 7 years now... night is day and day is night for me...

life has improved in the last few months though... now i sleep latest by 4 or 5 am.... i used to get to work at 1.30 am earlier....

6 hours of sleep is well earned... anything more is bliss....

Zappo · 31st January 2006, 18:23

I go to sleep sometimes between 11.30 and 12. Its only weekends that I go to sleep pretty late. However, with the gap between "before 11.30" and "before 2.30" was so steep that I decided to vote for before 11.30. Anyhow my efforts to go to bed starts after 11pm. Its the "Next day office" effect you see...

karthik247 · 31st January 2006, 20:37

My bedtime depends on who all are online in my messenger at night

. But then usually hit the sack at arnd 12-12:30 and wake up at arnd 7:30 on school days.

On holidays its a totally different story

ken cool · 31st January 2006, 20:54

I live mostly in hotels, getting to bed around 2330 hours and getting up before 0630 hours, and when I am home I have no weekends, everyday is a weekend; so if I am not out and if there are no friends or family visiting, go to bed around midnight and wake up before 7. Normally I get good sleep, almost about 7 hours. But ever since my french girlfriend dumped me some 3 months back, sleep has been very very erratic, the first month, hardly any sleep, falling off in exhastion. Sleep is getting more regular now. But I still have bouts of sleeplessness that persist for a few nights. Help!!

adit1329 · 31st January 2006, 20:57
