What would your sleep timings be if....

[SpnBaby1967]

You didnt have work, kids etc. So if your body could settle its sleep rhythm naturally.

I would be asleep by 10.30pm and up by 9.30am. The minimum sleep ideal for me is 9 hours solidly, but preferable is 11 hours.

DH on the other hand would be asleep by midnight and up at 6am, his natural body clock is better on minimal sleep. Too much sleep and he struggles the next day with tiredness which seems counter intuitive.

I'm surprised at how many people would essentially be nocturnal, very interesting.

I read an article a while back that said humans are designed to sleep in shifts, not a full solid sleep.

If your a nocturnal person, do you fall asleep easily when you do go to bed? I find if I go up to bed around 9PM and settle to sleep within an hour to 1.5 hours I can settle well. But any later and I'm tossing and turning. I also go through bouts of horrific insomnia so always feel like I'm catching up anyway.
