Default Messed up sleep cycles?

Alright orgers, lets hear your messed up sleep cycles. (for the students/people with time off/late night shifters/, etc).

I'm a student and mines horrendous. I rarely go to sleep before 5.30am, and rarely wake up before 4pm. It's a joke really, but I don't mind it. Not a morning kinda guy.

Anyone else sleep and wake up at stuipd o'clock?

I do 2 day shifts, 2 night shifts and 4 days off - in my days off I'm usually in bed by 2300 and up at 0500ish. I have worked some form of shift all my working life as it's the norm in my line of work - if I'm on the lash on a Saturday night I'll be up at 6 or 7, even if I went to bed at 2!

I've never really needed or wanted a lot of sleep I suppose, and I reckon 30 years of shift work have got me used to disrupted sleep

I go to sleep at about 12 - 1am and I am up at 5am when I am at work for a 12 hour shift.

When I am off I tend to go to sleep about 1 - 2am and up about 7am. I try sleep but to no avail.

Never really needed much sleep - I have far too much energy

Working in spain over the summer i was waking up at 6pm, to start work at 8pm, finish work 4am, and then roll in from the night out at about 9/10am!
Worse thing was coming home and having to try and get back to normal!!

I quit my job and went unemployed for a little while. I went on holiday to the states for two weeks.
When i got back i had jet lag for nearly a month. As i was unemployed I just slept when I wanted, which was going to sleep at about 2pm in the afternoon and waking up at around 4am. Only snapped out of it when I started uni.

When I was a student getting up at 2pm and being the 1st one up wasnt a random occurence!

If I go to bed late now (at the min its around 3am ) I tend to get up late. Love my bed too much, great place to be whether alone or otherwise

That's what I'm like on the xmas hols. Summer I try to get up so I can play on the bike.

When I'm at work I usually get 6 or 7 hours sleep

Iv always been more of a night person than a morning person.

I tend to go to bed around 11-12 and wake up around 8, but don't get out of bed til 9 if I can help it.

Saying that I honesty can't remember the last time i slept through the night, I'm up at least twice every single night either with the kids, or something else.
