What's Your Ideal Sleep Cycle?

My friends and I (one being Juan, who had the fabulous tip of sticking car keys in your mouth to unlock your car from out of range...) were talking about who of us was a night owl and who was an early bird. I'm pretty sure I'm neither. I think I would like to take naps here and there for about 3 hours each dispersed over the course of the 24 hour period that someone decided to refer to as day and night.

I HATE getting up early. When I use to be a teacher I got up before 6am and that is probably a big reason I ended up changing jobs after only 6 or 7 years. But, I also don't like to be out late, which is not so conducive to being a musician, being that I refuse to play after 11pm!

I've read about this idea of napping just whenever you feel like it. You're body will get what it needs, when it needs it. I'm considering testing it out. This is what I do know: Naps are best taken in pajamas. I tried that out a few weeks ago and it was magic. I put on my pajames at 2:30 in the afternoon. My friend's little 3 year old does it, and it just sounded like the right thing to do. And I'm pretty sure it was!!! A nap is most restful in the proper attire.

So I don't have an answer, YET. But my quick answer is "lots of naps".
