sleeping inn...

[Journeyman]

I seem to have a "fixed" sleep duration of 8 1/2 hours. Ofcourse when I absolutely have to wake up (for work/school) I can get up with little difficulty, but on other days, I feel very tired and grouchy when I try to get out of bed after 6-7 hours.

Ideally, I would like to get 7 1/2 hours so I could be a little bit more productive every day. You guys think I should just stick to what my body is "automatically" alotting me with the 8 1/2 hours? Or slowly scale back...

What are your sleeping patterns and durations?

How old are you? If you're still growing **** productivity.

In my experience 50% of how you feel in sparring or training is adequate sleep and eating enough. The other 50% is conditioning.

I try to get a healthy 8 hours, more if possible

Im sorry, but how did u manage to spell In Incorrectly?

im a junior in college...so past that rapid growth stage. I usually find myself waking up about 6 hours after i sleep to take a piss, then i go back to sleep for a few more hours.

and twanky, i figured i'd give it more emphasis with the extra "n" so it doesn't seem like an incomplete phrase like the first 2 words in "sleeping in a bed". lol.

meh, i got the same problem... also a junior in college and i wake up fine during school days but on days i dont go to school i sleep in so much. i usually go to school at around 7 AM and dont come back home until after training around 9 PM. i think my body just trying to get as much rest as possible during my off school days because of my long days

i need like 8 hrs sleep too, that it. less, even like 7,5, ****s me up, i'm not on point then. so... yeah, get enough sleep, just go to bed earlier.
