Horrid. I can't sleep when I go to bed at all. I went to bed at 5something AM, woke up at 10 today. Its 3:09 AM, and I'm not tired at all.
How are you sleeping?

Depends whether I'm working or not. If I'm at work the next day I try to get to sleep at around ten, to get up at six the following morning. And because I work either two or three days in a row before my next block of days off (shift work) I will try to get an early night that night too. To be honest, that's not hard, since I work twelve hour shifts and I'm pretty damn tired when I get home.
If I'm not working the next day, I usually get to sleep anywhere between ten at night and one in the morning, and will probably wake up somewhere between six and eight. I've never been able to lie in. Even during school holidays and stuff, I'd always be up horribly early in the morning, when everyone else I knew was able to use the holidays for mega-lie-ins. The only real advantage is that it allows me to maintain a fairly regular sleep cycle.

Well, on weekdays I go to sleep at like 9pm and wake up at sixish (just so I can get a good nights rest for school (also, my roomate has to get up earlier than that so he goes to bed at 9 as well, aint I just considerate)). But on weekends I stay up to like 11ish but still force myself to get up at like 6 because I have a whole new day that I can spend being free and bored.
let's see how my sleep schedule is. I'll start with this past Sunday, considering I can barely remember the past few days (I've pulled 5 all nighters in the past week and a half).
I fell asleep on Sunday at noon, woke up at 6 pm (still Sunday), and fell back asleep at ten pm. I woke up Monday morning at 4:30, I haven't slept yet and it's Tuesday at 5 am.

Well usually go to bed about 23:00-1:00 british time and im up an hour before my shift for work so anywhere from 07:00-09:00. I like to have a good 8 hours sleep before work, i used to function barely off 6.
The trick to me sleeping at the moment is having a toke about 30 minutes before i want to sleep, then i sleep like a rock.
I'm at the point now where i hate my alarm waking me up, so my body wakes up 2 minutes before it goes off so i don't have to hear it.

Most of the time I don't. It's not fun. I make an effort to go to bed before midnight in the hope that I might drop off quickly and get some decent rest. Instead I lie there for an hour or so, doze off, wake up, doze off, wake up, sleep for a little while, wake up. Pattern repeats until I get fed up and get out of bed.
It's been going on for almost a decade now. The doctors have run out of ideas and started suggesting sleeping pills back when I turned eighteen. I don't want to go there though, so I deal with what sleep I get and hope it fixes itself.

Pretty much as always below average. I mean sure I can still get to sleep but at long I still living with my parent I can never get a good night sleep (as in waking up and feeling fully rested).
These days I go to bed at 11.30 but I only fall alseep sometime after 12.30 and at the moment I keep waking up and trying to go back to sleep. I normally way up neat 9.30 but due to morning shift at work I some time wake up before 8 am.

It's near 6am across the pond from the UK. East Coast USA... I need to work in the afternoon but I just can't sleep right now. No clue why.
My schedule is chaotic at the best of times. My average time to go to sleep is four or five-ish. Not healthy, especially counting how much I work these days.
My girlfriend's habits are near the same, so we don't really have a good system of keeping each other in check.

If you are used to sleeping in a pattern, staying in that pattern will be fine for you. But after years and years of sleeping basically only when I had the opportunity (primarily so that I could keep up a grueling schedule of excess), I find that keeping a regular schedule is near impossible. Sleep when you're tired, get up when you're not. Oh but don't use it as an excuse to miss important shit.
If you have somewhere to be, be there. Maybe that means only sleeping a few hours, or just staying up all night, and thats fine. You're a grown up and you can do whatever works for you. Just take ownership of it.
I have on many occasions found it to be really useful to give people the impression that I don't actually ever sleep, it makes them think you are working harder than you are.
Week nights, I'm sleeping between 10:30 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. Week ends, usually around midnight to 9:00 a.m.
I'm amazed at the erratic sleep patterns of my fellow Escapists. I can sleep any time of the day. Hell, I wish my job would let me take a half hour siesta after lunch.

More regular than it has been in a while, but still very disturbed. Unfortunately, not due to anything I can really deal with.
There's building work going on across from my apartment right now that starts at about half six in the morning, but not every morning. I can't sleep with my window closed because my room gets uncomfortably hot if I do. I also am staying up a lot later than usual due to it being three days to the UCAS deadline and I still have a dozen students needing help and support to finish.
Hopefully the building work will either stop or become more reasonable at some point, and after UCAS is done I'll be able to get some sleep.

I work on an evening shift so I tend not to be able to get to sleep until after 4am, although I actually go to bed around midnight. I tend to get up any time around 11-1 depending on how much well I slept, though I will occasionally get up earlier if I need to be anywhere.
I go to bed at 1 and get up at 8. Every time. And I sleep like a brick, too. It's not a problem if I go to bed earlier, but I don't wake up earlier without an alarm and I generally don't wake up later either. Main problem being that my favourite game is region-locked, I'm in Australia, so most of my team mates are in the UK which is 10 hours different. Otherwise I'd go to bed at 11.
