Anneli Hanka, 24, Finland

I always wake up at about 4:00 in the morning. I don’t want to sleep, so I get up and I do yoga. Then I go to bed again. Then I get up at 8:00 in the morning and I go to work. I feel fine – I never feel tired.

Beatriz Romero, 32, USA

I finish work at 6:00 in the evening and I arrive home at 6:30. I read a book or phone a friend. Then I go to bed for three hours. My husband works in a restaurant and he gets home at about 12:00 at night. So I get up, and we have dinner and then we watch TV until about 3:00. Then I sleep until 7:00.
