As the title says. How do you guys approach this. Ive been battling this cause i have some things i wanna get done and i want to utilize my time as effectivly as possible. Being stuck in a 9 to 5 and then getting home to basically start working again on your own personal stuff.

Sleep early, up early. You have much better focus when you're awake as opposed to staying up late and getting sleepy.

Get home. Take a nap for 1.5 hours. Wake up refreshed to do stuff. Can go to slep later, but wont need as much sleep since I already had a long nap, so I'm waking up early.

Depends on what I did throughout the day or what I need to do.
If I have a quiz or test the next day for school, I'll sleep late. Otherwise, I usually get like 7 hours of sleep.

I try to do this too. I always end up sleeping late waking up early + coffee. I try to squeeze in a timed nap (because you do not want to over do it).
I wish I didn't so much sleep

I go to sleep late and wake up early.
It's a delicate balance that you have walk. Too much of either is bad. Every successful person I know has sacrificed the midnight oil in pursuit of dreams. I average about 6 hours of sleep during the week to stay up working on career things--portfolio projects, research, etc.
Aside from that, I've always enjoyed being up late. Something about being awake when everyone else is sleeping makes me lowkey excited, been that way since I was boy...

This. I wish there was magical pill that made it enjoyable to wake up in the morning to go to work.

Started waking up at 6:30 to get some exercise before hitting the office. Feels twice as alert throughout the day.

If I get anything less than 6 hours, I'm a zombie for 10+ minutes and fight to stay awake. So I try to sleep around 12am.
