Sleep

[proudtobnotpc]

How much sleep do ya'll average a night? me I can't function with less than 8 hours

[Bajanguy]

6 hours for me..been like that for the past 13 years.

[DougP]

About 6 hours is alright for me during the week but beer and sex is ok on weekends too.:D

[P_chan]

I always get around 5 or 6 hours of sleep. If I sleep more then seven, then I'm still tired once I get up.

[silviasichigo]

I wish I could sleep 8 hours and actually make it count..... 6 hours if I am lucky

[kombu_kid]

I voted for 4.....which is the absolute minimum I need, but I actually get around 5 (but that number wasn't up there). In bed around 9:45~10:15, alarm goes off @ 3AM, but I'll roll outta bed @ 3:25.

[DoctorP]

I sleep between 4 and 5 hours a day..if I sleep 7-8 hours I feel like crap all day.

[Trail]

I can function on less than 6 hours but prefer to get at least that. I've suffered from insomnia that comes and goes and there has been days that I would go without sleep. (3 1/2 days in a row was my max) I can handle 24-30 hrs without sleep but I can't guarantee anything I say or do is intelligible past that.

I'm about the same as P_chan. I'll oftentimes wake up too early, feeling fantastic, and then roll over for another hour of sleep and wake up dragging ass. I should just set my alarm an hour earlier, but I love sleep too much.

[Sex Wax]

It depends. I can go a few days with out sleep if i am on a bender. Or just catch a cat nap in the tub. But normally 5-6 hours is OK. Sometimes i crash for like 16 hours though.

[keera4]

I think about 6 maybe less. Sometimes I have a hard time going to sleep most nights, and sometimes never really do, or sort of just "leapfrog" from hr to hr till its time to get out of the bed. I do feel like crap most days, but just keep going cause I dont really have a choice.

I live right next door to a freakin' taxi wash.... I swear to god they were going alllllll night last night. I probably got about three hours of actual sleep. I actually had my wife call the cops on them as they were making a huge noise from 2am to 6am. They do it every night, but apparently the beer usually helps me sleep through it. I wasn't drinking last night (for a change).

just drink more :thumbup:

[Tanimaga]

If I set no alarm, I wake up at the 12 hour mark almost every time. On average, 6-7 hours. Thanks mostly to JU forums.

That's why I'm working through a six-pack right now. Really makes studying f'ing hard though lol.... My typing is really going downhill now that my fingers are starting to go numb.

That sounds about right to me. 10 to 12 hour mark.

I have a wife and baby girl who are the ultimate alarm clock.

[Tanimaga]

When I used to binge drink, I'd sleep nearly a full day. Almost lost my arm one day from cutting off the circulation for so long. :scared:

No more drinking.

[watzitoou]

I average 2 - 4hrs a night. By the time I get my kids to bed and asleep. I will start to clean house, have a beer or two, do the fancy finger's...after 8 times or so, then I am very tired and go to bed, usually after 0300 and wake up at 0600 to get kids ready for school.

[perfect10]

Right now I need 6-8 but when I'm not prego I usually sleep about 4-6.

Are you sure that wasn't from "another" activity?.........see CHOKIN' THE CHICKEN thread.:D

It is nice to crash every once in a while. If I'm super tired, and I've got some extra days off. I might sleep for 10 hours, but that's the most.

[SPMF#1]

I usually get 6 or less a night, but in all truth I need 8 to 10. I used to be an insomniac when I was younger, I'm not any longer, but it's like my body is still wanting to make up for lost time. Strange though, I get by on 3 to 4 down range with no problem. I get groggy if I get over 12 though, not worth a shit for days from too much sleep.

[P_chan]

I love your avatar SPMF! I always thought it would be cool to have some type of setup where I could access my computer and the internet.....while I take a dump.

[SPMF#1]

I don't have this set-up myself, but the JU is like crack!

[DOCROB]

I get about 5-6 hrs of sleep a night thanks to those wonderful scooter gangs on 58. maybe I should invest in a paintball gun J/K :) DOCROB

[BleuEneG]

I use to suffer from a condition called sleep paralysis and there would be nights when if I got 3 hours of sleep I was lucky.It occasionally comes back but it is more managable now.

I now sometimes get more sleep than I really want to take like when I get up at 5:40 to get my girl ready for school and then crawl back into bed for another three hours. I thought I remedied that by getting a babysitting job..but that hasent made me more productive...just unhappy to be worn out in such a way.

It's called a laptop. Check it out!

You mean download?:barf:

[P_chan]

I've got a labtop, and it has a wireless lan card. But it makes my lap hot if i sit there with it. It's also a pain in the ass to disconnect from everything, which is bad if you have to "download" in a hurry.

Besdies, my wife already thinks I'm an otaku for playing my DS while I download. Taking the computer in there would just be overboard!

[proudtobnotpc]

Damn I must be a lazy bastard, I need at least 8 hours sometimes more

[socalheart]

To actually function as a nice person, I need 8 - 10 hours of sleep. To simply function as a person, 6 hours is enough... just be sure I'm well fed. :D

[P_chan]

I'm the same way guyjin. I get sweaty because of the humidity and can't fall asleep. But my wife usually opens the window and I just use a down comforter. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.

Have you ever tried valarian root? works really well.

[P_chan]

rub one off right before you go to bed. The ultimate sleep aid:thumbup:

[Onlooker]

I usually sleep 9 hrs. Less than 8 and I don't function too well.Luckily I don't have a job but when I go back to the states; watch out!

[hankypanky]

i usually rub mine or have the wife do it:D

[shrizza]

Sleep duration varies pretty wildly for me. I generally refuse to sleep when I'm not actually sleepy so it can result in about 2 to 3 hours of deviation around the 6 hour mark on weekdays. On the weekends, 8 to 15 hours is usual. About three weeks ago, I got 18 hours of sleep.

[badkitty]

4 hours is good for me...

[Sex Wax]

2 hours napping on the beach with the wind blowin and the sun warming, is worth like 8 hours of nightime sleep for me.

:thumbup1:

Now that sounds sooo good..... :thumbup:

[Maggie]

I have to have at least eight hours, preferably nine or ten.

[trissytrissy47]

At least 8 hours. But like 12 is better....and 14...and...well I could probably sleep, get up to eat/relieve myself, and go back to bed indefinately-unless I have something interesting planned or work.

Besdies, my wife already thinks I'm an otaku for playing my DS while I download. Taking the computer in there would just be overboard!

My DS goes with me everywhere. As did the laptop before it crapped out. I don't consider myself anywhere near otaku.

Hubbles won't let me take laptop into bubblebath. Something about electric shock.

[Bones]

I survive with six hours, but 8,9, or even 10 hours, would be nice on occasion.

Can't seem to train some of our local family not to call before 07:00. And some calls from the states come in earlier than I like.:cursing::crying:

[Oki alumni]

8 to 10 hours (average)...spread randomly during a 24 hour period. Ahhhh, the many benefits of total retirement!

[js9234]

I usually get around 4 on weekdays and maybe 5 or 6 on weekends. I would love to get at least 6 a day to function better but can't. I have horrible problems falling asleep and when I finally do I wake up every 30 min to an hr and takes forever to fall back asleep. Been that way for about 10 yrs. Not sure if I have Insomnia or Sleep Apnea or both...:scratchchin:

[macker]

4-7 hours... I try to make up for it on Sundays though!!!

[NotSoAverageWife]

I can function with only 4 hours. I will crash early that night though. I try to get about 6 though.
