@jamble - i want to try and shift to that pattern.
i feel "better" when i wake up early, like i'm being productive. i find waking up later like i do - i always feel rushed and like i'm behind on things?
i tend to only sleep when i'm tired, but that is usually random.
i always go back to something i read on Woz which goes like this:
Philosopher William James once wrote that mental life is controlled by noticing. Climbing out of the sea and onto the windy beach, my skin purple and my mind in a reverie provoked by shock, I find myself thinking of a checklist Wozniak wrote a few years ago describing how to become a genius. His advice was straightforward yet strangely terrible: You must clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity. The only cost: turning your back on every convention of social life.
