How many hours of sleep do you get?

schwarcw · October 2007

Five to six, sometimes less. I hit the sack around 1 AM and I'm up at 6:00 AM. Sometimes earlier if I have to catch a plane and make it a one day trip somewhere.

I get about 7 or 8 on weekends.

I'm never grumpy without sleep. I get up every morning to take three good swings in the batter's box. I'm not looking for a base on balls or a single. I want two bases or more. I want the best from life and I'm not going to wait for someone to hand me a good thing. If it's going to be, it's up to me!

Go Sox!

5.5-6.5 during the week. Maybe 7 on the weekends, if I'm lucky.

Wow. I think this thread really explains why no one can drive or express rational thought anymore.

Around 6 if I'm sleeping ok, which can be hit or miss.

And by the way....we are ALL going to die

To quote an old coworker; "I'm not here for a long time, just a good time."

3.

But than I'll take two 1 hour naps during the day.

Get a good 10 hours in going into Saturday, and I'm good to go.

That way I stay fresh and charming.

About 6.5 hours. My little girl won't let me get any more than that.

Normally around 5-6. Spend allot of time communicating with my colleagues back in the USA from Japan during the late hours, rather it be conference calls or emails. Such is life working overseas I guess. Besides I can sleep in when I'm dead.

Entire adult life 4 tops....feel refreshed and ready to go with 4...anything disrupt those solid 4 hours though and god help you. If for some strange reason I go over 5 hours sleep, I wake up more tired then when I layed down.

Part of the reason probably stems from 20 years of working the 7pm to 730am shift.....

6-7 weekdays..closer to 7

I'm both a night owl and an early riser. During the week I get about 7hrs, on weekends I'm up by 5:30am regardless of when I go to bed.

AndyGwis · October 2007

Weekdays usually sleep midnight to 7:30am. 7.5 hours

Weekends usually 1am to 9:30am unless I'm getting up early for golf. 8.5 hours.

I am miserable if I don't get at least 6-7 good hours of sleep. A week of getting 3-4 hours like some of you, and I'd be fired, admitted to a psych ward, etc.

Jstas · October 2007

Usually about 5. I'm asleep by 2am and wake up around 7am. On weekends I'll sleep a couple hours later. I'm tied down to 4-5 hours of sleep though. If I crash at 10pm, I'll be wide awake around 3am. Kinda sucks 'cause there's nothing on TV at 3am.

As far as how much sleep you actually need, the jury is out again on that. I saw a recent study on LiveScience.com that said that we shouldn't really be getting more than 7 hours sleep in a night. The study also showed that your body self-regulates. So now nobody knows how much sleep to get.

hearingimpared · October 2007

I do . . . 8 hours but 10 would be nice!:D

bruss · October 2007

5-6 most days

BaggedLancer · October 2007

Got 2 hours of sleep last night and I was in such an a$$ mood today ended up leaving school early.

auto_pilot · October 2007

6-6.5 a night...I get up at 5:30 am during the week.

MSALLA · October 2007

5 to 7 hours. If I go to 8 or more I can't get going and my whole days a mess.

jflail2 · October 2007

Who can say the smallest # and still sound legit? Only time will tell.

I prefer a good 7-9 hours a night. In bed by 12pm and up by 7:30 through the week, and since I have moved I haven't had to work a weekend, so I am enjoying sleeping till 9-10 AM on Saturdays and Sundays :eek:

agfrost · October 2007

4-6 on weekdays. If I go too many days on too little sleep, eventually my body will revolt--Last night I fell asleep at 6:30pm and got 10.5 hours.

I teach high school, and my first year teaching I tried to see if I really needed sleep at all. The experiment was going OK until one day I woke up during 2nd period (at home in bed, of course)...

Ah, good times.

Well, gotta go catch a nap.

sleep is overrated. I will have plenty of time to sleep when im dead. I havent slept 8 hours in a long long time. I average around 4 to 5 a night and thats it.

Systems · October 2007

I spent a good 10 years strait getting 4 hours of sleep. I never realized how bad that was. For the past 3 I get a good solid 7 to 8 hours sleep. If I get a solid 8 hours of sleep I can go through the day without being tired at all except maybe right after I eat at lunch.

lightman1 · October 2007

Average about 4-5 a night. This week, about 6 total. Substation meltdown! Remove and replace one of the biggest transformers I've ever seen. Just walked through the door for the first time in 3 days. Feel like ****..smell like ****. Just stopped by to say Howdy to y'all.
Enjoy your lights.

Serendipity · October 2007

Slept 9 hours last night, and feel really good.

I guess 8 hours is good with me, 9 is even better! But 7 is OK.

So I guess 7-9 hours for me.

hypertone · October 2007

Been getting about 8 most nights, but I function best on 9. Any less than 7 or more than 10 and I worthless the next day. Naps make me feel like crap, but rubbing one out helps me fall asleep faster.
