[Random] Yohojo's Sleeping Schedule [Random]

[Yohojo]

Well i found this site a while ago and was already instead in unique sleeping methods long before.
Though i had never researched any, i had always felt sleep was an utter waste of time, and getting the least i could would give me more time to enjoy.
I currently have a very sporadic sleeping cycle. Varying almost daily.

I don't know why I'm posting this, or if it will even be useful to anyone.
But you never know.

I am 16 years old. (Birthday January 8. 1991)
I weight about 95 pounds. (VERY little for my age)
I am about 5' 6.5 (Five feet six and a half inches)

Long ago my sleep schedule was something similar to this:
Sleep at: 11:00 - 12:00
Wake Up At: 6:50 - 7:05

As time went on, i started sleeping a bit later and later every night, currently this is how i sleep:

Sleep at: 12:30 - 2:00
Wake up at: 7:10 - 7:20

As for weekends:
Sleep at: 12:30 - 2:00
Wake up at: 9:00 - 10:00

My last few days were very awkward and i guess i will start logging here.
Remember: I don't know why im doing this
I mainly sleep late because of procrastination

This is the format i will organize the data in
Month Day: Sleep,Wakeup


February 1: 1:45, 7:15
☼Normal day, no drowsiness or fatigue. Went to school. Came home. No exercise

February 2: 2:16, 6:07
☼Woke up early because i had an ACA-DEC competition. Took a 30 minute bus ride and took boring tests for until about 4. Yet, i did not feel tired.

February 3: 1:45, 10:15
☼Sunday, slept in like normal, but didn't want to.

February 4: 2:45, 6:07, Slept again at 6:40, And woke up for good at 7:15
☼As i mentioned before, i procrastinate A LOT. Stressful night until 2:45. I was still not finished with my project, but my parents were mad. I slept with the though of work in my head. Woke at 6:07 and finished it. Slept again till 7:15 and continued my day as normal. I was not tired or fatigued during the day at all, though my legs hurt a bit.

*TO BE CONTINUED*

I normally eat ONE waffle and a drink a cup of mil for breakfast every weekday for the last about 5 months.
For lunch, i eat a small bag of chips, and a cinnamon roll.
Every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday i eat a burrito at around 3:30.


Fell free to ask any other questions about my diet or any other information.

Dr Mercola suggests that ideally a person should sleep between 6-8 hours before 12 Am in pitch dark room ( for optimal melatonin secretion - another universal anti-oxidant ).

YouTube - Why Is It Important to Go to Bed Early

Normally, the production of melatonin by the pineal gland is inhibited by light and permitted by darkness. For this reason melatonin has been called "the hormone of darkness". The secretion of melatonin peaks in the middle of the night, and gradually falls during the second half of the night. Until recent history, humans in temperate climates were exposed to up to eighteen hours of darkness in the winter. In this modern world, artificial lighting typically reduces this to eight hours or less per day all year round. Even low light levels inhibit melatonin production to some extent, but over-illumination can create significant reduction in melatonin production. Reduced melatonin production has been proposed as a likely factor in the significantly higher cancer rates in night workers,[9] and the effect of modern lighting practice on endogenous melatonin has been proposed as a contributory factor to the larger overall incidence of some cancers in the developed world.[10

This is why going to bed at night and wake up when the sun rises is so important. With that being say, I always wonder about the long term health risk of doing polyphasic sleep without eyeshades.
