In the end I invented my own schedule which, again, was only partial success. While experimenting on the schedules I noticed that I sometimes feel very refreshed in the "morning", but not often. I thought it's connected to the REM and tried sleeping multiplies of around 1h30m but either it wasn't connected to REM or my cycle deviates too much from the mean because experimentally I estimated this "good cycle" of mine to be 2h20m.

Have you tried one of those iPhone/Android apps which guess what part of your sleep cycle you're in based on accelerometer data, and try to wake up when you're not in REM or SWS?

No, I didn't know it exists, cool. Looks like one more reason to get myself a smartphone already.

There are widgets that do the same thing but are much cheaper than a smartphone¹, though much more expensive than an app if you already have a smartphone.

  1. Than a new smartphone, at least -- dunno what the market for second-hand ones is like where you are.
