Anecdote is not data, but I have not set an alarm for many years - I sleep 5-6 hours (only 5 since I went vegan) and I wake up on my own, refreshed. Occasionally I’m tired, I take a nap. I don’t do coffee, I have unsweetened tea but don’t go nuts on caffeine, social drinking.
I don’t feel any need to ‘sleep in’ on weekends.
Yes, I work from home and own my own company, so I have the luxury of taking a nap in the middle of the day.
If I were to try to force myself to sleep 8 or 9 hours I feel worse; so I don’t do that anymore.
- maxxxxx 9y agoGood for you. When I was working from home I never used an alarm either and woke up every day around 7:30 no matter when I went to bed.
- sethrin 9y agoI'm in the same boat, working from home to no one else's schedule, but probably with a worse habit of body. I have no idea when I might last have slept for more than seven hours, and I very rarely nap. I'm considering acquiring a 'real job' again, but I'm probably not willing to ever compromise my sleep habits for an employer. I don't think anyone else should either, but I suspect that's not likely to be a popular opinion.
