My sleep schedule is horrible.
I am chronic insomniac unfortunately.

Same here. I've been trying to get at least 7 hours now, after reading that article about how your IQ drops by 10 points temporarily for each hour you lose sleep 😱

Need all the brain power I could get to power through this last year.

I love my sleep 🙂

I usually am in bed by 10-11 and I wake up around 6-7am

Edit: unless I have plans, in which case sleep is pushed back to about 1:30 but I typically still wake up by 8 out of habit

I always aim for 6+ hours of sleep.

During the week I get up at 8. 7 on workout days. Asleep usually around 12 or 1.

Weekends usually mean staying up later and waking up later, haha.

Edit: This is all post-graduation, though. During school I always had 8ams and would get up at 6, went to sleep around 10-11.

Exactly the same. 😴

I'm very flexible with my sleep schedule and can adapt to anything really. I am fortunate enough to be able to sleep anywhere, anytime lol

Do you really believe your IQ drops 10 points temporarily for every hour you lose sleep? lol


I use to allnighter at least once a week in undergrad. I had a terrible sleep schedule , but not due to studying. I wasted a lot of time on partying, games, and other stuff.

During my gap year, I went to sleep at 5-8am on most days and woke up at 2-3pm.

In medical school now, I sleep from 12-6 most weekdays.

This is just a question to satisfy my curiosity. I usually cut my sleep into two sections. I sleep 4 and a half hours during the night and I take a 90 minute nap during the day. I just got used to my old job and got used to being up late. what about you guys?

I don't know if it's true, but I've been told that at least 8 hours of sleep is how much most people need for optimal memory consolidation.

8 hours works for me. I'm a huge night owl though and feel the best when I go to bed super late and get up late. If allowed, I would love to be an overnight emergency room volunteer, and later on an overnight doctor. I know that ED doctors usually rotate, but I would offer to take the overnight shift permanently.

Generally bed sometime around 12-1 and wake up between 8 and 9. I wake up earlier when we have required class (*shudder*), but can pretty much never make myself go to bed before midnight.

Studies show

My sleep schedule has been pretty bad so far. I have to get up at 6 AM for my job too so it feels like i'm back in high school.

@mcloaf whaaaat, you don't go to class? Why not?

My school records audio and video of all of our lectures and streams them online. You can watch them from home and speed them up to 2x if you choose. I find it's a much more efficient way for me to get through the lectures and it lets my schedule be much more flexible so I can do things like get to the gym at off times when it isn't crowded. Unlike undergrad, medical schools put you much more in charge of figuring out how you want to learn, within reason.

I gather this is pretty common at a lot of medical schools now; I'm certainly not an isolated case.

That being said there's still a proportion of my class that goes to all the lectures. Just depends on how you want to learn/how social you feel you need to be.

It's awful. Nocturnal roommates that love to drink and be loud. One owns a dog that barks at people walking by the apartment, so I never get a solid night of sleep and I have to be up by 7am every weekday for research. I'm very eager to move out at the end of the year and live with med students that actually have responsibilities and care about their education.

 

[AlteredScale]

Bed around 1 or 2, up at 7 or 8. Weekends I sleep in a bit!

Very thankful for my schedule now though, I had to get up at 3am Saturday and Sunday while I was working at sbux and did that for 3 years so that really sucked!

 

[battousai]

Bed by 10-11p, up by 4a

 

[911 Turbo]

I usually get 3 hours of sleep a night, around 4-5 on good days (no estat)

 

[Omppu27]

about 1am right now, waking up at 5:30 tomorrow... then hitting the alarm until 6 🙂

 

[takeonme]

i work full-time night shift (12 hrs) and go to school part-time. on some days i get a total of 3 hrs of sleep between work and school and/or school. on better days (only school or only work), usually anywhere between 4-6 hrs and when i dont have either i spend however long i can to make up for the week. i dont think its the small amount of hrs that get to me (i have a tendency to wake up every few hrs anyways), its the constant flip-flopping of sleep schedules to accommodate work and school hrs

And to follow up this thread further, it's 4:30 am and here I am on SDN because I can't sleep.
I was trying to sleep, got inspired for my PS, wrote about two sentences before I blanked.
