Always wake just before my alarm, but can sleep almost anywhere and anytime --- just close my eyes and I am gone ( If I allow it ).

Depends whether I've to be up in the morning for work. When on earlies I don't seem to sleep very heavily ..... too frightened of oversleeping. When I don't have to be up, I comatose & like Jon a bomb could go off. I slept through the recent-ish tremor :-?

I tend to sleep in 2 to 3 hour bursts - wake up, check time, go back to sleep.

Always wake just before the alarm goes too.

As for falling asleep, I tend to stick a DVD on for some back ground noise, I cant sleep in total silence for some reason, guess I'm just odd

Many many moons ago when I was in the Navy .... swing the lamp! ;) ..... I used to have problems with the quiet of being 'shore side' when you were used to the general noise of a ship at sea.

Usually takes me a little while to drift off ,then I get about 6 hours of good kip.Used to get a good 8 or 9 hours when I was younger but tend to sleep less as the years go by.
Fall to sleep straight away with the aid of grog but have more fragmented and less deep sleep. :y :y

In front of the television, usually.

TV relaxes me, so I go to sleep.  If I turn the TV off, I find something to do, then I can't settle down to sleep because I'm not relaxed.  

I can't cope with 8 hours a night - I function better on 4 - 5 hours, but sometimes I have a nice long lie-in on Sunday.  Not today - another bloody grin-and-bear-it car boot sale >:(  How do people acquire the crap they sell at these places?  They can't all have such poor taste as to have actually bought it :(

Very well. Sometimes need a toilet visit (my age) but go straight back off. Always make it to work but HATE getting out of bed...it's quiet, warm & comfy, i like being there!!!! Daylight/outside noise does'nt bother me on weekend lie ins. During the week i can have 2/3 hours sleep in my truck bed while i'm being tipped/loaded.
   Whether home or in truck cannot sleep with windows shut & heating on, that's just not healthy. ::)
