Sleep

Who the hell gets enough sleep??? Who has that luxury??? I have way too many people depending me and too many things I personally want to do to get 8 hours. Americans have to do an 8 hour work day, and we don't have enough time to make our food, so we eat out, it's no wonder we're all fat.

Still, I try to get 6 hours of sleep a night, sometimes less, and a 8 on the weekends. People don't get 8 hours of sleep because they can't do what they need to get done in that time period.

Sorry, I just needed to rant. I know I'm unhealthy for getting the amount of sleep I do, but dammit, I don't have a choice.

Re: Sleep

Unless I just physically can't go to sleep, I get 8 hours every day.

Re: Sleep

I get 7 or 8 hours a night, depending on what time I decide to go to bed. Usually 8, because I can't function if I don't get my sleep. I <3 sleep.

Weekends I sleep however long I want. Usually 10 hours.

Sleeping is my favorite part of my day.

Re: Sleep

I heard from somewhere that the old 8 hours of sleep number isn't accurate and that you only need around 6 hours. Word on the street is that the 8 hours comes from some study in the 50's that people just keep using and nobody has bothered to check the numbers. They do studies on how man hours of sleep people are getting but not on how many hours people need.

Regarless I usually get around 6-7 hours a night and I'm usually good. It seems that as long as I wake up at the right time it doesn't matter how many hours I actually get.

Re: Sleep

Everyone needs different amounts of sleep. Eight hours is about the mean.

Re: Sleep

7-8 is usually the amount that powers me sufficiently. But **** ALL if I ever get THAT during the week! More like 4-6 then!!!

Ideally, 8-10 is what I want!! MMMMMMMMMM.

Re: Sleep

I'm the same as IRC. I get anywhere from 5 to seven a night, usually around six.

And I'm fine.

Re: Sleep

I'm a pretty big guy. Not huge or nothing, but I'm 6'2", 200 lbs, and I like 8 hours...
Any less I can do every once in a while, but I need make-up sleep the next day or my head will buzz and I'll feel weak and loopy. Last quarter was rough on my sleep schedule, Sunday nights I only got about 5 hours and every Monday was a really long day, so I always was kinda out of it by the end of the day.

Re: Sleep

My sleep schedule fluxuates. Sometimes I sleep for 7 hours, sometimes 8, and occasionally 10 or even 12 hours. I organize my time in order to get as much sleep and store as much energy as possible so as not to collapse during hectic days. Incidentally, this lead to my occasionally releasing my energy in bursts when encited.

Re: Sleep



The closest thing I do to getting a lot of sleep is when I'm at home on the weekends. I can get up to 12 hours a day(not all at once-just napping during the day).
