What are yours like, an how would you like them to be?

Usually I sleep about 7 hours an wake up with an alarm clock. Ideally I would love to be able to wake up without an alarm clock, but I need to wake up at 6 am, so I probably need to go to bed earler for that to happen. I would also love to be able to lucid dream... I'm starting by just trying to remember and write down my dreams each morning, has anyone ever had success learning to lucid dream?

I go to bed. I lay in bed for 1-2 hours staring at the wall, my eyelids, and my phone repeatedly. I then sleep for 6 hours. And then I get up after my 2nd or 3rd alarm goes off on my phone (I have 4 alarms set). I grouchily brush my teeth and wash my face. Then I become human again.

Horrible. To the point of not being a pattern. I'm never in bed before midnight - and I usually do not wake up until something wakes me up, be it after 3 hours or after 10.

Lucid dreaming is a myth made up by people who want to feel special.

I think it's a real thing, but I don't think I'd call it "special." Anyone can do it.

(You could also argue that you're not really in control of the dream, but just dreaming that you're controlling it. There is absolutely no way to be sure. :P)

Hahaha, come on. Unicorns are a myth made up by people who want to feel special. Lucid dreams aren't the stuff of legend anymore than beluga caviar is the stuff of legend. Sure, it's not common, but it happens.

I usually go to sleep sometime between 11:30 and 12:30 AM. I usually have some kind of audiobook playing very softly so that if my thoughts gets to racing there's something for me to focus on outside of it. My first alarm goes off at 6:30 and I usually sleep through that. My second alarm goes off at 7 and that usually gets me up. So a little under 7 hours of sleep a night I guess.

Mine are erratic and night-owlish and probably more suited to a planet with 28 hour days. But I know how to work around them, so there's nothing I'd really change.

I lucid dream now and then! And I started doing it entirely by accident. The only advice I can give is that, if you realize you're dreaming, remain calm. Don't get too excited or try to do too much right away, because you'll wake up.

I usually sleep 10:30-11 and get up in the 6 o clock hour, different classes let me sleep in a little longer. On the weekend it might be a little later and sleep in until 8 or 9

I started trying by writing my dreams down, too, and for a while when I did it I was able to remember my dreams better but then I stopped so what progress I had is gone.
I've heard drinking apple juice before bed helps make for wicked dreams.

I hate sleeping, so only sleep as much as necessary. Naturally I sleep 7 hours (sometimes 8) and wake up. I rarely sleep longer. Unless I have a fan going, then I have a hard time waking up. But sometimes I cannot fall asleep unless there is a fan or some kind of white noise. Now and then I get insomnia, so I'll get up and do something, then just sleep for a few hours and get up around the usual time, and thankfully it doesn't affect my day much.

I used to follow lucid dream instructions that I found in a book, but never had success with it intentionally. I can remember having two lucid dreams completely randomly. In the first one I was grocery shopping, inspecting a melon when I realized I was dreaming, but then I woke up. The second time I had a lucid dream I immediately had sex with someone. :P

I typically sleep for about 6-8 hours(more on weekends because I haaaaate waking up), but I am really bad for fucking up my own sleep pattern because I prefer night-time.

I don't know if it's lucid dreaming but every so often I have dreams where I know I'm asleep(or at least I'm dreaming that I know I'm asleep?) and I do things like give myself super-powers or change what I don't like about the dream. I've forcibly ended my own dreams too when they go bad. (I did however make the mistake of telling my dream that I knew I was asleep once and uh, that didn't end well)

Really really crappy. Most nights I get between 3-4 hours sleep, unless it's my day off the next day and then sometimes my body is all, "Fuck you!" and I am dead for like nine hours with intermittent wake ups.

I never stay asleep for more than five straight hours, which sucks. I also have my laptop on the bed with me and put movies on to fall asleep to. I used to sleep with my headphones/music on, but the laptop gives me the background noise without sacrificing my hearing and the risk of strangulation. XD

I also have a wind up/hammer alarm clock because I kill electronics. Every electronic or battery operated clock I've ever had died within a few months. On one the numbers started going upside down/doing weird things.

My sleep pattern is surprisingly regular at the moment! Bed somewhere between 11:30pm and 2:30am, wake up at 6:30-9:30am depending on my work schedule that day. It works out nicely. I will say that if I had a choice I'd do something like sleep away most of the daylight hours and be 'awake' from mid-afternoon on through the night, mostly for weather-related reasons.

I work graveyard shift, so I spend five nights up all night and going to sleep from about 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Then I have three nights off and I usually sleep at night then but I'm starting to think I should just stay up those nights too.

I kind of like staying up all night, but the main disadvantage is that I never feel like doing much but mess around on the computer and go to sleep when I get home, whereas when I had regular day jobs I used to do things in the evening all the time even though I still needed the same number of total sleep hours.

I used to write down my dreams every morning but then I started dreaming I had gotten up and written down the dreams and the whole thing got weird.

Let's see:

I go to bed between ... 11 pm and 1 am. I usually don't sleep until 2-3 hour after going to bed (which means something between 1 am and 3-4 am)

I have one radio-alarm clock and one alarm set on my phone - set to 7:30 am and 8:05 am respectively - on off days. Work days are irregular, but alarm is set to at least an hour before I actually need to get up.

It's funny, actually: When I can sleep in, I actually sometimes wake without the alarm at 6-7 am and am perfectly awake, but when I need to get up at a certain time, I'm always incredibly tired when waking up - even if it's much later XD
