I was only talking about one process above. There are others too, like sleep debt. Night shift workers can train themselves to sleep in the day and remain awake through the night but at a pretty steep psychological and physiological toll. Scientists have been studying the whole area pretty intensely for the last half-century or so leading to wonderful things like malatonin pills. If you want to know more but don't want to read a whole book there's always Wikipedia.

- Fire-Dragon-DoL 8y agoReverse this. I had no alarm for 5 years and did what my body said: when I was asleep I would sleep. When I felt like waking up I would. My body immediately shifted to what I already knew: going to bed at 5-6 am, waking up at 1-2pm (I roughly sleep 8.5 hours, sometimes 9). Never felt more rested. I now wake up at 10 am. It's ok, but I always feel SO rested when I sleep until I needed. Just having an alarm SET puts me on a bad path, even if I have 10 hours.
