Hmm, wondering when do you go to sleep if you wake up at 6? 9? That kind of sucks.

Not OP, but I usually go to bed at 10 and wake up at 4:30 or 5. It only sucks if you are a night owl.

  That's like 6-7 hours of sleep (below recommended normal). Do you take naps during day time?

    That's not wildly outside normal ranges. The average recommended sleep for an adult is 7-9 hours, with up to an hour variance outside that still being within healthy ranges for some people.

    I have the same schedule. I don’t take naps, and I can’t sleep more than 7 hours unless I’ve really pushed myself into exhaustion or I’m ill. Ever since the Apple Watch came out, I tracked my sleep and for the last two years I average 6.5 hours, no matter what. I just kind of assumed it was a consequence of becoming older.

    No naps during the day. I just let go of my notions about how much sleep was enough, and started going to bed when I was tired and getting out of bed when I wake up. I do not use an alarm to wake up, and I do not get tired during the day, so I think I've settled on an adequate sleep schedule for my body.

I usually go to bed about 10-11, mostly get 7 hours. I can’t really sleep for longer than that. I exercise everyday it wakes me up if I feel tired.

It's the most common time to wake up. I'm surprised that you've never had a job that required you to wake up at 6 or earlier. > Most common time people choose to wake up: 6:00 AM https://snoozester.com/The-Wake-Up-Time-Report.snooze https://snoozester.com/The-Wake-Up-Time-Report.snooze > The peak time for waking up is between 6 and 6:30am. https://www.edisonresearch.com/wake-me-up-series-2/ https://www.edisonresearch.com/wake-me-up-series-2/

  The terms "choose to" and "peak time" would imply that those are the most favored times, but the very concept of jobs requires that people wake up at those times whether they want to or not. In fact, the big peak in average waking times in June (when many people have vacations) seems to indicate that most people will in fact wake up later when they do have the choice.
