How were you affected the last time you experienced multiple instances of having to get up unusually early, stay up much later than you are accustomed to or experienced some other change in sleeping patterns?
I’m not convinced this is a good thing, but given my profession, I have had to go through a rigorous training process where sleep deprivation was used as a tool for conditioning and selection in order to find those able to push through the difficulty in order to meet their objectives. I remember on one occasion where I had been pushed to physical exhaustion for multiple days and the instructors were using sleep deprivation to find those that would not put forth their fullest effort in order to “take a break”. For some strange reason, I remember very clearly what I perceived as a pterodactyl flying through the air. Obviously, I was seeing an illusion as I had been awake for over 72 hours straight.
All of this was a long way of saying that I have been conditioned for fluctuations in my circadian rhythm in that I have had many extreme occasions where my sleep cycle has bounced back and forth 6 or more hours. I know that the worst time for my sleep cycle to be interrupted is within the first three hours of sleep. Other than that, I feel that my sleep cycle is very flexible.
Are you an “owl” or a “lark”? Have you always been owl-ish or lark-ish or were you different in prior periods of your life?
I am very much on the lark side of the spectrum when it comes to sleep cycles. While I was more of an owlish nature in my younger years, which I attest to the night life, I find that I enjoy the day much more if I wake around 530am and fit in an exercise prior to the sun rising. I love to watch the sun rise as I take much pride in the simple things in life as well as have a sincere joy in being alive.
How well does your owl-ness or lark-ness match the wake/sleep schedule you are currently experiencing, which can vary widely between individuals and be governed by a number of daily life demands, from non-optional work shifts, to being a new parent with an infant not concerned with your desire to sleep through the night, to your choice of leisure activities? What do this week’s readings tell you about the potential positive or negative impacts of your particular matching or non-matching wake/sleep schedule? How well do the impacts, for better or worse, suggested in the readings align with your actual experience (e.g. if you are a lark whose schedule requires you to work a late evening shift or an owl who has to rise very early to get children to school, do you find yourself running low on energy during times of the day or night when you normally don’t or having trouble concentrating)?
My lark-ness right now is fairly synced with my daily schedule. This is also a result of my being a senior NCO and having the ability to work my own hours. I am typically beginning my day around 6am and find that I start to have my one and only tired point roughly around 1030-11am. This is typically corrected with a morning snack. In the reading, I was surprised to read that a reduction in sleep can be achieved through training. In the study within the book, participants who underwent a study to reduce their sleep had a 7-18 hour sleep decline post study (Pinel, 2013). This tells me that training one to sleep less has long term effects. Just as I had mentioned above, being a senior NCO as well as a father has resulted in my sleeping a considerable time less. Fortunately I have been training at this for a while.
