Re: How many hours do you sleep per day?

I put 6-8, but it's more like 5-8 with the rare 9 thrown in.

Re: How many hours do you sleep per day?

Hmm, I wonder what I should put since my "normal" schedule is sleep one night then don't the next. I usually get about 6-8 hours of sleep on the nights that I do sleep... Divide by 2 and put 3-4 hours?

I haven't been diagnosed with insomnia, although it is quite apparent to me that I have it .

Well, T. Looks like we get the least amount of sleep out of everyone . We're the only ones to vote for 2-4 hours . Maybe we should try and get in some extra Z's this weekend to celebrate .

Re: How many hours do you sleep per day?

You guys sleep so less. What do you do to keep this up?

Let me guess.

PARTY!

I envy you two.

With 2 kids (age 3 and 5) "party" is synonymous with "children's birthday" here.

It's not fun to finally go to sleep at 4am knowing you have to get up in two hours because the little critters have to get ready for daycare and school...

Oh dear, It seems tough being you, Tormod.

Going to sleep at 4? I'd rather not sleep at all then... (I'll have the next day to find time)

Re: How many hours do you sleep per day?

Basically the same here, except I take your approach Ron. Instead of torturing myself with just a few hours of sleep knowing I'll have to get up at 6 or 7 I simply choose to not sleep at all that night, and I usuall y get to bed comparatively early the following night and wake up fairly early as well... Sometimes around 4:30am.

I don't party to stay awake but I'm positive it would help .

Don't envy us. Or at least me. These hours are wreaking havoc on me. My dad hasn't accepted the fact that I stay awake all night right into the morning... He believes I should be sleeping every night and forces me to just lie in bed all night occasionally. I get a sick pleasure out of being wide awake when he finally gets up to check and see if my borredom of sitting alone in the dark for 6-8 hours had put me to sleep. It pisses him off so much .

Well, it seems that I'm the sleepy head around here! No matter how much I sleep, it just never seems enough.

Re: How many hours do you sleep per day?

my sleeping habits have always been wildly unpredictable.


Some weeks, I'll sleep a full 8 hours everynight.

Some weeks, I'll only sleep every other night.

Some weeks, I'll just stay up for the first half of the week and then sleep and feel really shitty and sluggish the rest of the week.

some weeks, 10-15 hours every night.

and it fluctuates for no real reason at all other than brain activity.

I'm an occasional insomniac.

Re: How many hours do you sleep per day?

Well I dont get alot of sleep .. I go to bed at all kinds of weird hours .. because routine changes constantly .. I sleep where I can .. like most of us ..

I usually gain maybe .. 5 hours sleep if that ..sometimes Im luckier .. lol .. depends how hard I'm working ..

Have any of you ever thought about the massive sleep debt you occur throughout a lifetime .. ??
