I've done something I find to be interesting. I've been going to bed a lot earlier and waking up a lot earlier. I get from 7 to 8 hours of sleep a night, and if I need a nap during the day, I take 20 min or so. But it's hardly necessary. The whole thinking of this is to reduce sleep time, I know, but what I find is that I hardly ever do anything of value after 10 PM, and if I do, I don't remember it very well the next day. So around 10:30 or 11:00 I go to bed, then I wake up around 6-7 AM, so that way I can get things done way before I go to work. This way, it allows for a more relaxed day and I usually get more things done when I get up early. I don't know what it is about waking up early, but it certainly boosts produectivity. Now if I could only get off these 2 PM to 10 PM shifts at my work...
