sleep

how much do you need to function optimally versus how much you actually get (on average)?

sadly, i function best on 9-10 hours sleep, but usually get 6 hours, and those 6 hours are total. i never get uninterupted sleep. i get up about 4 or 5 times a night.

And thats the KEY.. 6 hours would be OK if it was continuous.. I only have good sleeps when I sleep on the couch because I dont get disturbed..

I am sure with with a partner and NOW a baby.. its torture.. sleep deprivation is one of the worst feelings I can imagine

the baby wakes up 4 or 5 times a night and my toddler wakes up at least once, so of course they need momma.

one night i was so tired i wanted to cry. i just got the baby settled down, i go to get back in bed and my husband is snoring! he had drank some alcohol and he was OUT. i was so damn mad. lol! instead of doing what i wanted to do (take my legs and push his ass out of the bed), i just slept on the couch.

Most of the time I get 4-5 hours any more then 6 has the opposite effect and makes me feel tired.

I've seen new studys which suggest that adults need less sleep then what was previously thought.

I find that, unless Im sick, or had a really long day before, I function best on seven good hours of sleep.

hm, Im my best on 11 hours.

However I sleep 6 hours on average, which sucks....

The longer I sleep the better I look too. When I wake up at 7am after 6 or so hours of sleep I look like crap...all pale and mashed up.

11hours Im full of colour, face looks full, body looks better/rested...

Dunno if its just me.

I have sympathy for all of you sleep deprived folks. I went through a period (about 6 months) where I was only getting about 4 hours a night and there were days were I would get no sleep at all, I would have my eyes closed but of course I got no sleep. It is the worst feeling in the world...especially physically.
