How is your sleep?

I almost always get about six hours, but even when I sleep longer I feel tired all day. I've been like this for years. That is all.
Does anyone get sleep and feel rested? Ever?

“When a man sleeps, he is steeped and lost in a limp toneless happiness: awake he is restless, tortured by his body and the illusion of existence. Why have men spent the centuries seeking to overcome the awakened body? Put it to sleep, that is a better way. Let it serve only to turn the sleeping soul over, to change the blood-stream and thus make possible a deeper and more refined sleep.”
I undersleep and have for years. I wish I could see the world the way that Flann O'Brien does but it just isn't in the cards for me. I see sleep as a little bit of death. Time on earth that I can't account for... which inspires my undersleeping habit. I get 5-6 hours a day and maybe once every month or so sleep for like 9 hours... that's the one day I feel rested. I am constantly giving up sleep for more life and I know it hurts me. I'm in a drug haze most of the time but totally drug free usually. That's how it feels anyway. I think I'm killing myself by doing this and need to rectify it. If I wasn't so restless it could happen. I need to let go a little more. Less ambition and more sleep. Everything I've read about sleep tells me that I would be more productive and happier with the time I do have if I rested a little bit more.
I guess my answer is rarely... but the science of sleep is worth looking into. Once you understand sleep cycles and circadian rhythms better it's a little easier to make it work for you. I've attended several seminars on it due to being a shift worker and they are informative... I just need to actually do what they tell me and I'm sure I'd be better off.

In the military I fell asleep standing up once.
Unlike my wife, who can't sleep to save her life, I can turn off my mind at night. She'll ask, what are you thinking, and I'll reply, absolutely nothing. Zzzzzzz....

On the other hand, if you're tired, then try to modify your diet and exercise more. I do Tai Chi in the morning and before bed along with weights and walking during the day.

I kind of do the above if you change Tai Chi, weights and walking to masturbating

At my new job (the same place as jonjacob) shiftwork is required and, holy shit, it is messing with me a lot. Mental fatigue, and irritability have hit me big time.
Caffeine rarely works and my body clock continually wants to go to sleep at 10-11 pm, regardless if I slept through the day.

So I toss and turn some nights, though usually getting at least four hours of solid sleep. I tried some over-the-counter stuff called Zzzquil for a whilte, but it really messed with my stomach. I don't want to mess with anything heavier, because I consider the poor sleep to be a symptom of my real problem, which is my low-paying job.
