I'd like to state I'm aware that there is a topic similar to this but it's closed.

Originally I was going to call the topic 'How do YOU sleep at night?' however I realized that there are people even if they are a minority that sleep during the day, so why be biased in a topic about receiving information. I’d be extremely interested to see what you people sleep on/with (I’m talking about inanimate objects here, not your wife.), a general time of day and duration.

Personally I sleep on a couch which isn’t comfy in any way, so I stack pillows on it (seven) along with a blanket and a sheet to cover. Usually I end up hitting the hay so to speak around 1am to 3am depending on what I’m doing/working on.

PS: If you have problems sleeping or have overcome them that would also be cool to hear as well.

I sleep fully clothed on an uncomfortable leather couch on my back or right side at (lately) around 2 - 3 AM.

I then wake up on my back with a cat on top of me around 8 - 9 AM.

I usually go to bed when I'm physically exshausted ~12-1AM and I need some sort of noise to help me sleep, so I usually leave a TV show in the background and just fall asleep. But not before I turn on my left side for 10min and then back on my right side, otherwise I just can't fall asleep.

Usually on my side.

Our 3 year old son though.... He's another matter entirely. He's all over the show. Face down, sideways across the bed, legs hanging off, head into the corner of the wall, on or under the blankets, toys all over the place. His future partner is going to hate sleeping next to him. :D

I usually go to bed later than I originally itended to, but normally around 1-2 am (I aim for midnight). And then I sleep like 6-7 hours til' 8 o'clock mostly. I am undergoing caffeine withdrawal at the moment so my sleep schedule right now is messed up beyond measure, but I need to get my dosage down to an appropriate amount.

I think the real question is why do you sleep?

I mean, we all know how we feel when we don't sleep and thus why we feel the need to sleep. But we still do not know fundamentally why sleep happens, i.e. why such a thing has occurred in evolution as some kind of rest mechanism. There are many theories but still no answers.

Also, I sleep next to my laptop generally playing something on youtube (usually game videos, let's plays, things like that.)

I think it's been said that sleep is needed for our body to repair itself at a faster rate.

It's a theory, one among many, and is probably true in many ways. But it's not a fundamental evolutionary reason. There is nothing stopping the body evolving a manner of repair without having to disable itself in the way sleep does, indeed any organism to do so is at a huge evolutionary advantage given what a risk sleep is.

As I said previously. There are many functions of sleep, many things that happen during sleep that we know about, many symptoms of lack of sleep that tell how important it is. But we do not know why we do it.

To be fair, sleep is not the biggest unanswered question in biology. That'd be sexual reproduction, but I don't have time to talk about that.

Well I mean, it'd be cool if we evolved to be like fish in the way of just standing still or being in some position without moving for a period of time fully aware of what is going on, and that's how we "sleep".

Here's a strange one: sometimes I crack jokes in my sleep. I'll be happily dreaming away, holding an imaginary conversation with one or more people and I'll suddenly chuck in a witty one liner. Next thing I know I've woken myself up from physically laughing. Most times it's not even particularly funny!

My friends think it's weird. ._.
