Everytime a sleep thread comes up I'm reminded of how we did things on the boat. As bizarre as it may sound it works really well.

18 hour cycles with six on watch, six working and six in the rack.You end up sleeping plenty and in a week you get ten six hour sleep cycles. That is if nothing comes up, like drills, or battlestations...

with me, my morning condition almost always depends on my mental attitude about the day. if i have something interesting to look forward to, even after being up drinking until 3 on a sunday night, i can jump out of bed. it's the in between days that kill me. if you know you're just going to have to "ride the day out" those days are the worst. i usually go out for drinks on thursday nights and don't get too much sleep, but it doesn't matter because fridays in the office are always easy days. i have also learned the fine art of the after work nap - used to perpetuate the stay out late/get up early for work drudgery cycle.
