I've been trying for ages to sort out a good sleeping pattern that'll have me up and running in the morning. Weirdly enough, the best one I got was: - wake up after ~6.5 hrs of sleep, use the bathroom, grab something quick to eat and drink a pint of water - go to sleep again and wake up after ~7.5 hours - rejoice It's a hard one to do, and sometimes I can't fall back asleep after the first waking up, but when it works I feel pretty amazing. Don't ask how I discovered this, I'm not sure myself.

To clarify, do you sleep for another 7.5 hours after the wakeup, or just one hour to bring the 6.5 to 7.5?

Oops - one extra hour. A 14-hour-long daily sleep does sound appealing in a way, though.
