I've heard that having a consistent bedtime is beneficial. I think it makes sense that your body's hormonal cycle, while capable of adapting to change, might optimize itself under predictable circumstances.

That being said, I'm terrible about going to bed at a specific time. Thoughts?

Sleep is as important as oxygen to your body, seven and a half hours minimum, not waking to alarms but to heat & sun light. Nine hours is optimal, anything over nine is extra credit, secreting excess collagen, which is the best for your organs and skin.

9 hours.. good lord man.. I can't sleep that long unless I'm sleep deprived, hungover, or sick with the flu.

I find that I operate best on about 7.5 hours of sleep. I go to bed at the same time every night and I wake up without an alarm at somewhere between 7 and 8 hours later. I love it and I have never felt more rested. If I am awakened early by some necessity I take a 20 to 40 minute nap in the middle of the day and resume my sleep schedule. I never struggle to sleep anymore. I am also able to predict when I am about to get sick by observing a sleep cycle of longer than 8 hours. I adapt my nutrition and supplements and typically am sick for no more than 2 or 3 days.

I regularly use an alarm and I feel like it's a bad habit. I'll wake up at some interval before the alarm and say "Oh, I've got more time to sleep". Then, I'll start a new sleep cycle that gets interrupted by my alarm.

Nope. I try. But nope. At 45, you'd think I'd be able to keep one.

I have a time I know I should have gone to bed at, a time I'm telling myself I'll go to bed by, and a rapidly approaching "I guess I'll have to go to bed real early tomorrow".

yes but my woman is too horny to let me sleep much

...I really should go to bed, it's almost midnight at the time of writing. Goodnight, Poal.

Not really, I'm usually good to go if I'm getting up after 6am. That's usually the key for me.
