In my 20's, I was unemployed for a few months and also lived alone in an apartment. I wound up on a 30 hour day schedule. A normal person might have slept for 8 hours and stayed awake for 16. I would stay awake for about 18-20 and then sleep for 10-12. I would see my friends in the evening, but depending on how our cycles were lining up, it might really be morning for me.

Now, I wake up at 6am during the week, and without setting the alarm, about 7am on the weekend. I go to bed at 10 pm during the week, and usually am in bed before 11pm on the weekend. I've been in this routine for the last 10 years, so it's pretty carved in stone.
