Figured this would be a good place to get a good range of answers. For various reasons my sleep is ****ed up these days (check the marijuana thread, I think, if you want a bit more detail) and I'm trying to figure out how much other people need to get by. For me it seems like I feel worse when I get too much then when I get under what you're "supposed" to.

If you can let me know how many hours you get on average, and whether or not that works out for you.

Minimally 4 to 5. I prefer 6 or 7 hours. When I begin my full on training, that's all I'm going to get every night...that is, 4-5 hours. :boxing:

For me it depends on basically if I'm on these ****ing forums or not. If I get on the computer, I could end up not going to sleep at all. Time flies when you're wasting bull**** time. Its 10 am here now. I got on at about 1:30 after Conan went off when I stayed on for good. Holy **** I've got to go.

Sometimes I'll crash and get like 11-15 good hours of sleep. Seems like I get to a point when I get so much sleep that I actually feel exhausted from sleeping too much (I dream hard, baby), so I need more sleep.

During the school year if I didn't bull**** around too much and didn't have 200 things I'd put off until the last possible moment, I'd get about 4-5 hours of sleep. Pretty much all through April I was a ****ing zombie, getting about 1-3 hours every night, even weekends. It sucked. But I'm out of ****ing school now! Yeah mofos!

if im lucky i get 5-6 hrs of sleep a night.

You'd get no sleep if you were in the bed with me. But only if you're old enough. Otherwise, no way.

4 to 5 hours a night.. i prefer to sleep in class.. har har..

6-7 hrs anight

5 hours is my optimal amount of sleep.

candidate for honors, i guess :rolleyes:

i sleep between 5-6 hours

it's already 1:45 am manila time and my eyes are still wide open.

who are you talking to? :confused:

Say no to him and come with me. I sleep around 7 or 8 hours. Sometimes more. ;)

Thanks for the answers, guys. Hope everyone understand I wasn't trying to get to personal or anything.

To those who have answered so far: do you find that you have to take naps during the day, or does that sleep you get sustain you for the whole day?

my sleeping habits at night pissed me off during daytime. now my eyes are starting to look like this: :eek:

No naps. :birthday:

i only take naps when i get off work only if i drink the night before, like last night i was up drinking till midnight then woke up at 6:30 for work, so nap time for me when i get home.

anyone know why that is? i also have the same problem, if i sleep too much i feel flat and cant be bothered to do anything but sit, eat and watch tv all day.

i remember last summer, i was following this diet and exercise program, full of fruit, vitamins and other foods as well as a lot of cardio work. well during this period i got excellent sleep, waking up full of energy, getting about 8/9 hours. well the point is that the kind of food you eat and the kind of exercise affects how well you sleep. unfortunatly i've got college rite now so i cant follow that regime fully, but come the summer i;ll be back on it.

Yeah, see that's one reason why I wanted to ask real people instead of reading a book by a sleep specialist or something. I've read that **** before and they tell you to eat well and get 8-9 hours of sleep and so forth. The thing is like you say usually real life just doesn't allow you to do that sort of thing. I have to waste half my life at work and I want to spend the rest of it doing stuff I enjoy, not steaming vegetables and sleeping.

I sleep about 3-5 hours a night during the week. 10-12 hours on the weekends.

actually i dont know, my day-rytm had been f* lately, sometimes i can sleep 10hours sometimes i only needed 1-2 hours. too much **** going on in my head so.. maybe thats why.. :rolleyes:

That't what I'm talking....a woman who can drink. What's your favorite?

8-10 hours. Yeah i know the life huh? :D

Even when i get no sleep though i cant take naps.

I prefer 7

sometimes 8

but NO more!

Yup thats usually it.

i sleep like 1 to 20 minutes per day

lol last night i drank a 12 pack of smirnoff ice, and like 5 shots of scotch. :)

i get roughly 4 hours of sleep a night ( but keep in mind my boss thinks i'm a retard, which is how lack of sleep affects my performance ). i do take naps, when i can, but it's usually after work if i have time. i'd like to sleep more but then all i'd be able to do is work and sleep and i hate my job so i need to do some fun stuff each day ( like punching the heavy bag ) to get rid of stress, and of course there's all the other crap we have to do like paying bills, buying food, cooking food, that cuts into sleep time

I get 8 solid hours a night no matter what, weekends i stay out later but i sleep in later, i never have to nap cuz 8 hours is plenty.

useally about 6 and that aint enough by far, im allways sleepy.

i got 3 hrs of sleep last night, and now im at work with a little hang over, it sucks, im sooooooo tired!

Being hung over at work sucks. A while back I was cracked out on some other **** I had taken on Saturday. It was Monday and I still felt like hell. It was the only time I ate our caf's greasy breakfast. All that bacon and egg and hash brown made me feel a million times better, for whatever reason.

you smoke crack??

you smoke crack??

haha no, I don't want to start telling tales, but it was in pill-form, just so you know. Not crack or coke or meth.

lol i was gonna say, if you smoke crack how do u still have a computer.

Okay, I used the term "cracked out", so I see why you were confused. Didn't even get that until now. That's just something I picked up that people say when they're hungover from certain drugs. Like if you've fried yourself good over the weekend, you're cracked out. I suppose you could be craked out on crack, though :) .

6 or 7 hours.

about 3 hours. and I had a final exam today. I don't know why this happened. I just could not fall asleep for a good length of time.

10-12 hours...









just kidding... about 6-7 hours

3.few nights its 5

Usually 6. If left unbothered on the weekends I could easily sleep 10 or 11. However if I sleep too much Im tired all day. Also I dont think I can function without steady doses of caffine and nicotine.

I get about 7 hours

I strive for 7, dream of 8, am satisfied with 5.... but if I can... I shoot for 10 :)

Hay sara, how ya doin' sexy? ;)

I got really bad sleepin habits. I gotta wake up at 6am everyday and usually dont go to sleep till 1am.

But these past 2 weeks, ive been going to bed earlier (round 11pm).

when im working about 4 hours, when im off, i'll try to sleep 10 plus.

8 to 10 hours of sleep.

6-7 on day shift
3-4 on night shift
5 on afternoon shift

I never sleep, took a perscription sleeping pill on top of a Xanax and alot of wine and I have never felt so alert as I do now. Sleep........ :rolleyes: who needs it.

I get 6-7 hours of sleep. Sometimes 8.

anyone know why that is? i also have the same problem, if i sleep too much i feel flat and cant be bothered to do anything but sit, eat and watch tv all day.

i answered this on another post i think. its called being lathargic. by that i mean that because you are doing no exercise your body shuts down and u start to feel tired even though u have just woken up or have done nothing all day! i got this a lot during the summer. i dont know the exact reason why it is like this but thats whats its called.

None, because I had to work on chemistry stuff like this:

AP Chemistry
Mrs. Cameron
15 May 2005
1. Oxidation-reduction reaction – Chemical reaction in which the oxidation stat of one or more substances changes
2. Oxidation – a process in which a substance loses one ore more elections
3. Reduction – a process in which a substance gains one or more electrons
4. Oxidation number (oxidation state) - a positive or negative whole numer assigned to an element in a molecule or ion on the basis of a set of formal rules’ to some degree it reflects the positive or negative character of that aron
5. Oxidized – the substance increasing in oxidation state is oxidized and loses electrons
6. Reduced – the substance decreasing in oxidation state is reduced and gains electrons
7. Oxidizing agent (oxidant) – the substance that is reduced and thereby causes the oxidation of some other substance in an oxidation-reduction reaction
8. Reducing agent (reductant) – the substance that is oxidized and thereby causes the reduction of some other substance in an oxidation–reduction reaction
9. Electrochemistry – the branch of chemistry that deals with the relationships between electricity and chemical reactions
10. Standard reduction potential (E 0 reduction) – the potential of a reduction half-reaction under standard conditions, measured relative to the standard hydrogen electrode. A standard reduction potential is also called a standard electrode potential
11. Ionization energy – the energy required to remove an election from a gaseous atom when the atom is in its ground state. The First Ionization Energy is the ionization energy to remove one electron (with the highest energy from the valence shell of the atom)

hey mckay! what sleeping pills were they? i try stilnox but everytime i get off them i cannot sleep. it's like i gotta keep taking them in order to sleep. It sucks! The manufacturers will tell you all kinds of stories- they all say they have no rebound effect but that is all a pile of ****!!!!
