I'm a big sleeper. I really enjoy sleeping, but I usually get up at 4 am. I'm not necessarily recommending this, but here's what I do:
- I drink a lot of caffeine (studies show that after a regular, high level of caffeine intake it doesn't affect your sleep patterns anymore).
- I take a 1 hour nap every day (usually around 3 pm)
- I go to sleep around 11 pm
- I naturally wake up around 4 am with no alarm
I like this schedule because I get a lot done before everyone gets up and then I have the whole day ahead. Plus, I really like taking naps.
Edit: Just wanted to add that I'm not naturally what you would consider a "morning person". My previous schedule for the last several years was something like: wake up at 2 pm, work, go to sleep at around 6 am, rinse, repeat. I kind of stumbled into my current schedule by accident.
