I have odd sleep patterns...I think...
I work a rotating shift schedule...either 6am to 6pm or 6pm to 6am...
I work night shift 7 nights out of any given 4 week period...3 in a row one time and 4 in a row on another occasion...
I get home at about 6:40am on the days that I work nights and am usually in bed by 7am...
I almost always wake up at about 9am...not the groggy half sleep wake up, but the I feel fully rested and am fully awake type...I then roll over and try to sleep again...even though I feel fully rested I know what will happen if I get up...why?...you ask...because I have done it before...I normally get about 2hours of doing what ever I want and then I'm ready to go back to bed...but by then I have a hard time getting back to sleep...so I don't get up at 9am...
I then sleep to about 12pm or 1pm at which time I get up(sometimes I set my alarm...if I have something I want to do)...this is when I normally workout when I work nights...
after doing whatever for a few hours...I then try to take a nap for about 1 or 2 hours depending on what time it is...I get up at 4pm to get ready to go to work...
I think some of my habits at work may also lead to my odd sleeping...we get 3 breaks at work(9pm, 12am, and 4am)...I normally take short naps at the 12am and 4am breaks...which must through my sleep patterns into hysterics...
Tell me what you think...
Tell me of your sleep habits...

PS. Dave is coming home early (tomorrow), so I won't get all my projects completed that I wanted to.

i'm a ten hour sleeper - except for when i'm not. but i usually don't feel rested unless i've slept ten. when do i sleep? right about the time the sun comes up. i've been sleeping less these past few weeks, less time for sunlight. and no, i'm not a vamp wannabe, i just feel safer sleeping when it's light out. so i'm neurotic. eh, whatever. sometime between three and nine in the morning i'll pass out. sometime between three and five in the afternoon/evening i'll wake. then i drink a pepsi one. queer, i know. but somehow that one calorie makes it taste more like regular coke. i drink a couple of these while i check email and such and maybe do a load of laundry. what i do next depends on what needs to be done and what i feel up to doing. sometimes it's all just terribly overwhelming and i hide in bed again. most of the time though i manage to keep the house nice and make a tasty and nutritious dinner. i spend a lot of time playing with the dogod. yup. that's the life of a mer.
