Ask HN: What is your sleep schedule?
How much do you sleep? When do you sleep? Are you napping during the day? Have you tried "hacking" your sleep (e.g. polyphasic, biphasic)?
I'm currently doing a standard 8 hour per night, but I'm considering trying out 6 hours and a 20 minute nap during the day. I played around with polyphasic sleep before but always failed in adopting such a schedule.
- andkon 12y agoUsually 10 hours a night. It's super annoyingly long, but that's exactly how long I seem to need. It builds up some sort of reserve of energy so I can do all nighters when necessary, but if I go too long without 10 hours I will become super unproductive. Naps help mitigate the effects of less sleep, but definitely don't help all the way. I'd be interested to know why I have to have so much sleep - anyone else need 10+ hours? My hunch is that I sort of operate at full-tilt pace and am very active, and all that means my day's exhausting and sleep becomes very important.
