I just read this thread now and I was about to say that! Looks like you beat me to it.... lol
Did you sleep well last night?

Perhaps you missed the "Blade Runner" reference in response to your "Androids dream of Electric Sheep" statement. The movie by Ridley Scott was based on the novel: Do Androids dream of Electric Sheep... Sean Young (pictured above) played a Nexxus 7 Android named Rachel... If memory serves, in the Director's cut of the film, Gaff (played by Edward James Olmos) even says that line...
I started a thread about hours of sleep about a year ago and I was surprised at how few hours many TERBIES sleep. I think A1Player says he sleeps only 2 hours a night and Amber Jade said she sleeps maybe 3 hours a night and they were not that unusual. Maybe I'll do a poll on hours of sleep. (Oh no, another bloodly Rockslinger poll.)
iPhone App : Sleep Cycle
There is a cool app I have been using recently called Sleep Cycle [99 cents] and myself & a few others in the office are using it. Using accelerometers built into the iPhone 3G-S [not sure what others have this], it monitors your movement and the sleep pattern which it charts. It then monitors when you are moving out of the deep sleep pattern to determine the best time to wake you within a 30 minute window so you are more refreshed.
I don't know how the waking up relaxed is working but I find my sleep pattern is all over the map. My SO who complains that she can't sleep & I've never witness it shows a deep sleep from start to finish - as I suspected.
Worth a look if you are an iPhone user.

Thought I heard somewhere that a short afternoon nap is good. Sleep is when your body does its repair and maintenance (sort of like the TTC).
Its 5:47am EST. i've been up since 4:00am. Was up before then at 1:30am. Before then @ 12:15.
Went to bed at nine because I was dog tired from lack of sleep. Fucked the GF (who was there naked when I arrived, despite our agreeing were both tired having gotten very little sleep the night before thanks to relationship fireworks of the "wish I could have avoided" kind) and actually dozed off at about ten.
This has been my life for years now. To bed at 10....up at 2,4 and then 6 (always at six...plus or minus 15 min...I haven't used an alarm clock in many years...on the other hand, I haven't had a lazy morning in bed in years either)
To answer your question...I have no idea WTF "sleeping well" is anymore...

Bed at 11:30... Asleep at about 12:10, (Just a quickie w/ the misses LN, hee hee)... then up at 5:45 again....
Like several others have mentioned, haven't used an alarm clock in literally 25 years. I still set it for mornings that I have to get up particularly early to catch a flight or to make an early meeting or something, but I always wake up 5 minutes before the alarm is to go off. I guess I just have a highly tuned internal time clock...
