how much sleep do you need?

[Raven]

just fell asleep during the day which is very unlike me, now i feel hung over even though i havent been drinking. usually i have around 5-6 hours a day and i am fine on it. how much sleep should you have?
maybe i am getting old :/

 

[Sissyfoo]

Varies. Sometimes I can make do with about 7 hours but sometimes I just go to sleep in the afternoon (aboot 4pm) and wake up at 11pm, eat something and then go back to bed and wake up in the morning. When I was in boarding school I slept ALL the time! Every chance I could get I was curled up in bed snoozing.

...I think I was a cat in my previous life. :|

 

[Coim]

Go to bed at 3ish, wake up at 8am for sch00l.

i can go on 1-2 hours a night if needed. there is a specific reason why you feel bad when sleeping in the afternoon, but i forgot what it is.

 

[stubbyrulz]

1-2 hours a night? i have bout 10 hours a day but im still always tired

 

[etcetra]

Last weekend i came home around 0400 CET, had to wake up at 0800 CET and play a football match at 1030 CET. Kinda hung over, but we won! ;x

4hours a night you can live on but doing it day in , day out for a long period of time can be damaging. Any less time then this and you're suprisingly looking at shortening your life span

7hours-8hours a night is now the recommended time any more then this and you're also gonna b shortening your life span

1-2 hours a night? i have bout 10 hours a day but im still always tired

Make sure you only sleep for 7 a night, anymore and it causes the brain to not properly wake up at all the following day. 7 hours and you'll feel more tired in the morning but as the day progresses, you'll have more energy

[Dillinja]

[Ala]

It's all in my mind...if I know I've had 8.5hrs I'm in a good mood but any less and I unleash my tired fury in the form of a mouldy used tampon on the end of a stick and beat everyone I see with it! raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

 

[Heath]

Wife and baby keep me occupied during the day, then i get kids from school..fart about on pc and have food. Go to sleep about 4.30-8ish..get up..work from 9pm to 7a ...etc ..etc ...i live for my day off so i can sleep it away (o:

The amount of sleep you need varies according to how much energy you expend. Diet also has a surprisingly big effect on sleep patterns, most people who consume large amounts of carbohydrate without doing the necessary exercise suffer from poor sleeping patterns.

Myself, when not working I need about 9 hours, but when working I can get by with less than 4 hours. Its just something you get used to.

 

[Nugusta]

7-9 hours for me. Its always the same too...if i sleep at 1am ill wake up at 10...if I sleep at 2 ill wake up at 11 etc

 

[Conchabar]

i need about 12 hours sleep to be non moody... although i can live with any amount tbh \o/

 

[judas]

10-11hours optimal sometimes 12hours but then i risk getting to much sleep and become slow and tierd the rest of the day.
less then 9 makes me fall asleep during class.

 

[Nuked]

sleep about 7-9 hours in the evening, but it's not unlike me to take a nap during the day!

 

[tRoG]

6/7 hours does me fine.

haha....... really?

 

[Aucard]

haha....... really?

Yepp ^^ was some years ago tho, was tired after work and needed a little sleep, hehe. i normaly sleep 8-9 hours, but if i want i can make my self fall asleep again. when i sleept 28 hours, i woke up after 16~hours watched the clock and went to bed again

 

[Vodkafairy]

if i dont set an alarm clock i usually sleep for 12 hours, if i do set it and sleep for less than 4 hours i wont wake up at all

so something in between that is fine usually 6-7 hours during workdays and 11-12 in the weekends

 

[HerculesPluto]

whys there always a hideous taste in ur mouth if u fall asleep during the day too?

 

[mts]

depends on what i did the day before and for how long i had been going. for example, if i have been gaming/working etc for some 30 hours without sleep i might clock over 14 hours when i go to bed. however, if i have been partying into the wee hours of the morning i might find myself only sleeping 6ish hours and wake up feeling like shit (like this wonderful sunday morning when i woke up). i think i drank some milk that was out of date before i went to sleep ='(

wish i could do that... my body hates me

 

[Ixoth]

I usually dont sleep no longer than 7 hours.. but in days when I am in work, in the end of that day, I am so echausted. When I take a bus back to my home, I usally sleep at that trip, and some voice in my head usually just tells me to wake up, prior I miss the right place to leave.

Amount of sleep required imo depends a lot of the weight of person hence about the energy consumed by this particular person. I am quite skinny lad thus I don't consume that much of energy..

 

[tris-]

hehe i wouldnt say its anything to do with weight. aslong as your brain is rested enough the rest of your body will be alright.

 

[evzy]

saying that slept for 14 hours last night - major beer n tequila session last night , kept waking up, checking headache and guts still in bits , rolled over... more sleep ..rinse n repeat..
