Thread: Is This Healthy?

I think that is pretty healthy overall. Waking up consistently at 5 or 6 and just going to bed in the evening when you're tired is actually one of the healthier ways to sleep I have heard. The one thing I wonder though, is your mattress OK? The fact that you're in pain if you sleep in later may mean that your mattress is bad.

Well, the matress is a bit soft come to think of it, but I've also slept on firm mattresses and I've had the same problem.

I don't like sleeping late either. It's a waste of life. Even if I'm out until 3am, I'm still up before 10.
But under normal bed time hours, if I sleep much past 9, I start to hurt. I'll usually have a headache. But, If I'm up at 7:30 I'm much more refreshed and not hurting.

Maybe you have poor circulation? Do you exercise at all?

Wish I could be like you! I usually have difficulty going to sleep before midnight and then I also find it difficult to get up in the morning! I have to set my alarm clock for about an hour before the time I actually need to wake up and I love to stay in bed for a long time even if I can't go back to sleep! If you feel good throughout the day then I guess it's healthy!

I wish I could do that as well.

I go to bed around 2AM (2:30AM is about the latest I'll stay up until). I wake up anywhere from 10AM-11:30AM, and on the rare occasion, 8AM for the early class. So I usually get around 8-9 hours of sleep. For the 8AM class, I have to drink coffee or I'm back in bed for another 1-2 hours.

I just wish I could push this entire schedule back 2-3 hours, but it's hard to do so living the college life.
