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)?<p>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.
Usually 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.<p>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.
