If you had a change in pattern..... what would you do?

Always adjust...can't really afford not to. When I went to Canada, I slept only slightly earlier than normal and still drove about 13 hours the next day, starting around 3:30AM

Hey! I wasn't done yet! You're quick!! :yes:

Definetly nap. Otherwise I'd miss out on all the lovin! :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

I would probably go to bed at normal time & just get up when needed.

Here's how I looked the last time I only got 4 hours sleep...or was it only 8 hours??? I forget.

I voted "stay up til then", but then for me it's an easy decision, since I only sleep 4-5 hours per night anyway, so 4hrs early is only just later than bedtime :)

I've always been a "short sleeper" - If I go to bed at 10pm, I am wide awake and raring to go by 3am. My normal routine is to go to bed between 1 and 2am - I am normally either at my desk working or on the golf course by 6am (I work from home, so I only have a 15 foot commute) :D

IMOL

I end up trying to stay awake but then I end up falling asleep anyway

I;m one of those that if I try to go to bed early I just toss and turn until normal sleepy time, so I would just stay up and then suffer the next day. If it goes on for several days, I will slowly adjust, but usually I'm a shock the system kinda guy.

I work Midnights so on my nights off i have to adjust from sleeping during the day to sleeping at night. I do it like this...Sleep 9a-5p, Go to work at 11p-7a, come home and take a 4 hour nap, stay up the rest of the day and go to bed about 10p. I think naps are the way to go, just don't over sleep or you won't be able to go to bed when you want.

I never get to sleep when I want to anyway.... Too many people in the house. But then again, I could sneak a nap here and there so I voted for the last option. I can't plan a thing and I don't intend to. :D

you don't really need sleep. its just a big myth.

Well, before we left I TRIED to go to sleep early....didn't work. Now I'm back & haven't seen the sheets since yesterday at 4 AM. It's now past 2:30 PM. We'd planned to nap, but I think I'll just dropped dead at "normal" bedtime.

On the trip I was up before the sun every day. Probably due to the 3 hour time difference. Luckily, we have a couple of days off before the week starts for us!! :thmsup:
