Okay, well I'm your typical college student, stay up late sleep in late.

I goto bed anywhere from 1-3am and wake up 8ish on weekdays DEAD until after my shower and breakfast. Weekends I sleep in as late as possible. Well I LOVE sleep. It's just so del.icio.us and wonderfull. But I also hate it because I waist so much time! Ugh.

So reading this thread has really got me interested. The fact you can get more from less is great! I always heard the more sleep the better. Also doing weight training and gaining weight I want to be sure to get enough recovery.

I could just go off and figure it on my own, but maybe you guys can help me off in the right direction. What should I do to start? How long should I try a configuration before trying something else? Alarm clocks or internal clock? Same bedtime and naptime everynight? What happens if I become dependent on the schedual and I can't keep it? (same thing I suppose as what happens mono)

Thanks,
Andrew
