I have learned my perfect sleeping pattern this summer. Bed by Midnight, and then sleep until 9 or 9:30. That's right, I need nine hours of sleep at exactly those times! Honestly, it's been absolutely wonderful! People used to joke that I needed more sleep than everyone else and this summer seems to have proven it. My husband thinks it's because I'm such a light sleeper and not getting "deep" sllep and that's why I need more sleep than most people. Anyway, without being on a "schedule" this summer, those are the standards for my sleep and it's been perfect. I'm not tired during the day, I haven't felt any desire to take a nap, and I've just really felt great!
Of course, I think we all acknowledge the problem here. This is great during the summer when there may be a day here or there where I can't sleep like this. However, school starts at 8:50, so even on days when I don't have to work, I can't sleep until 9:00. And yes, I've tried many times over the years to go to bed at 10:00 and sleep until 7:00, but it just doesn't have the same effect on me. So, it is what it is, and I've enjoyed it while it lasted. Now though, we are starting our transition to school time again. So much for feeling great!
