Recently? 11 to sometimes even fucking 1 am.
I’m getting that under control. Last night fell asleep around 10ish with soft jazz in the background. Had six hours of sleep. Will aim for seven tomorrow.

I was sleeping as early as 10pm and getting 8 hours consistently until just recently, now I’m back to complete chaos.
Whenever I have a schedule I miss complete chaos and whenever I’m in complete chaos I miss having a schedule.

Over the last few months the snoring in my house has ramped up to the point that I'm getting a total of 2-5 hours of very disjointed sleep. Due to everyone's different work schedules the snoring is on and off for 10 hours. I am about to rip off my own head.
Headphones (particularly the Musicozy sleep mask style that lets me lie on my side) help, but I'm definitely sick of listening to thunderstorms all damn night to drown out the cacophony. Mine are also cheap and shitty, does anyone have recommendations for decent noice cancelling headphones and/or a hammer that I can bash myself in the skull with until I fall asleep?

I use this guy to sleep and I've found no real problem with them except they can be very loud even on the lowest setting (or at the very least, mine are.) Can pull it over your eyes to block out light too if you need, I've found. Though I'd also suggest investing in a white noise machine on top of it, because white noise can actually drown out other noises whilst you're sleeping, I've found. Or sleep with a fan on if you can, it helps your brain focus on a similar, rhythmic sound and stay in your REM longer. Hopefully this helps you out a bit.

Used to sleep with an uppity mask that ended up fitting poorly. I still cant tell if it actually helped me. Not so much the light, but just the mentality of "this aint coming off til my alarm goes off"

I'll definitely look into a white noise machine! That will also be nice on nights where it's actually *too* quiet. I live right by the ocean and the waves tend to lull us to sleep, it's suprisingly eerie when you can't hear the ocean at all.I use this guy to sleep and I've found no real problem with them except they can be very loud even on the lowest setting (or at the very least, mine are.)

Recently watched a 3-part aussie documentary on sleep hosted by a doctor partaking in a 30-person sleep trial. Everything from "uhh i stay up and play games" to "I haven't slept in 20 years". Was actually quite insightful. I'm by no means on a health kick but I don't care enough about when I sleep to not at least try something like this.
Basically most of them were straight up cured by bedtime restriction therapy. You lay 8 hours, sleep 4? Aight now your bedtime is those 4-5 hours you actually sleep. Theyll get so fucking tired from built-up exhaustion that eventually their sleep quality spikes upward in those 5 hours and then they add on 30 mins every half week until theyre at those ~7 hours. One fat comedian did this; got a new job, went early to bed to 'get more sleep' and ironically got less. Several of these dementia ridden people just straight up got cured.
Other things of note: Sleeping on your back is just a no go. Fuck your comfort. Apnea apparently literally kills people quite often and the host's dad had it. Who knows if he could've survived longer had he been diagnosed and treated. Extra pro is sleeping on your left side cause it benefits the asymmetry of your intestines, reducing acid reflux. Don't eat 4 hours before bed, don't drink water 2 hours before bed, don't stare at screens for an hour before bed. Do not do anything else in bed but sleep. Leave your phone elsewhere.
I used to lay down at 8pm, sleep 10pm, up 5am. Now I just lay down to sleep at 10. It's only going on a few days and I already sleep kinda poorly, but now when I do lay down I'm a brick and just focus entirely on sleeping. I've had very livid dreams since which I'm not sure is a related thing, but I've not really lost out on anything. Shit I got 2 more hours on the computer. The only difficult is finding that one hour where I'm not looking at a screen, but also not laying on bed.. And being too tired to read.

Ideally, 10 PM.
In practice, 2 - 3 AM.
My Pa was a night owl. I went to bed at normal responsible times on school nights but the older I got the more they let me do what I wanted (honestly can't remember when I went to bed on weekends as a kid) and I came by it naturally and, basically, left to my own devices I would go to bed at 3 AM.
If there was a class that was earlier I'd have to go to bed earlier, but usually no earlier than midnight.
This is obviously a huge drain on my life and I hate it. I got really good, first semester I had to teach, at sleeping at 10 PM, but then I went back to my vomit immediately after.

I've been really sporadic lately. Last few months.
My ideal is in bed by 10, up by 5. Lately it's been more like bed by midnight up by 6, which is only a little less sleep but what's keeping me up is screen time and I'm not getting my self-care stuff done in the morning because I need to be out the door by 615 for work
Need to nail it down though because the first half of the year, up until end of may, I had my food, my excercise, my sleep absolutely locked in and it was like living life on easy mode.
One of the three being disrupted absolutely fucks with me having the others in a good place and all three are my priority this month

Sleep from 1-9. Issue is when I need to wake up early (usually before workout sessions) and I don't sleep early.
Though recent things like possible incoming missile attacks caused me to have mild insomnia.

It's completely random for me. Sometimes I would stay up for over 36 hours. Other times I am so sleepy because I am so depressed and anxious.

I hate sleeping and even though I no longer get sleep apnea I still don't hate it any less. I sleep 6 hours a day. Sometimes a bit more on weekends but only if I feel particularly sleep deprived or if I've had a really exhausting evening.
I don't understand the people who lie in bed for 12 hours. Not only is it a massive waste of time but it would make me feel ill. I consistently get headaches from sleeping any longer than ~9 hours.
