I usually do the 11pm-1am sleep, wakey wakey at 8am. Works decently well, any more sleep and I get too drowsy the rest of the day, any less sleep I get the same thing. |
Wikepedia failed to mention Koreans who are frequently taking 10-20 minute naps on the subway, in class, on the sidewalk etc. |

I usually sleep at 1 or 2 AM and wake up crying at 6:30 AM. I get about 30 minutes of sleep on the 1.5 hour ride to school, and 30 minutes back.
Wake me when September comes... |

| I'm usually asleep anytime between 12 and 1, then wake up at 7 on my own or 7:30 with the help of my alarm clock. I take a nice long nap, on average, once a week. |

I usually sleep 6-6.5 hours. I wake up naturally and I'm a light sleeper, and I always wake up once a night anyhow, time depending on when I eat dinner.
I've recently started turning in earlier with the earlier sunrise, and hitting the gym in the morning before work. It's good! |

That's what I'm starting to do, but I don't live near a gym so I go for a run/bike ride for an hour or so. |

| 8 hours, no more, no less, is what I need. If I sleep 7 and a half hours or 8 and a half hours, I feel like a totally different person that day |

I have heard that if you eat cleaner (and that includes less hard to digest crap like red meat) that you need less sleep. I do have a very clean diet. |
Do you have any evidence or authority for this?
It is true that its easier to wake up when you have a clean diet. But I don't believe that means you require less sleep. |

if i get in a workout that day, no problem with 6 hours of sleep. wake up feeling really rested too.
if i dick around all day doing nothing, a full 10 hours of sleep can still leave me cranky and dragging ass the next day.
my first week here, i walked from seomyeon to haeundae "to get to know the city better" and then back to kyungsung dae to check out the nightlife. i got maybe 4 hours of sleep but f me in the a if that wasn't the best sleep of my life. |

One of the fruitarians on 30 bananas... said she sometimes goes to bed at 6pm. Apparently, a person still needs a lot of sleep even when ingesting pure energy. |

| 7-8 hours a night. People don't realize how important sleep is for you. How some can go on 3-4 hours is beyond me. I'd be zombified at that point. |

How old are you when you're not in Korea? |

39. I'm born in 71 on the lunar calendar (72 on the regular old western calendar), so in Korea if I calculate on the lunar calendar I'm 41, not 40. And I don't mind adding the two years. Kind of cracks me up. |
