How many hours do you sleep per day?

[Turtle]

You know what to do.:shrug:

[sun]

I sleep 6,

wake up

write in my journal

and go back to sleep for another 2

with the possibility of

writing, again.

Now, had you asked how many I sleep per night, you'd have received a different answer entirely! :shrug:

[Panjandrum]

I sleep until Im not tired anymore. Most nights, thats between 8 and 10 hours, tho I have been known to sleep longer. Not having to work helps, of course.

[GAHD]

6-8 hours, working 10+ hour days is fun...but heay, 3 day weekends!

[Tormod]

I assume nights are included. 2-4 hours here.

[Edella]

Two to four hours Tormod?Is this your natural inclination, or is it out of necessity?For how long have you been on this sleep schedule?

Even with school, I still manage to get 6-7 hours of sleep every night!

[Jay-qu]

I voted 6-8 but it varies greatly throughout the week. Some nights less and some nights more.

:hihi: Yes of course. I thought about using 'cycles' instead of 'days', but I figured that would get a lot of wisecracks.:lol: :evil: :evil: :hyper: :hyper: Circadian rythm anyone?:shrug:

[ronthepon]

What do I do if it genuinely varies between 4 and 12 hours?

[Jay-qu]

vote the mean like I did..

[ronthepon]

WOW! What a result! I feel so normal now...

Nikola Tesla slept like Tormod sleeps. 2-4. :eek:

 

I don't know how some people can do that...:singer:

 

I love to sleep! :) 8-10 hours here. usually 8-9 at night and prefferably a 30 minute cat nap sometime in the day if I can. and I usually can... Post Caffeine buzz and after lunch siesta.

 

Siestas are very important in Latin countries...:)

for example:

Another mention of my stays in Venezuela.. Everyday between 12 - 3, All businesses would shut down, people go home, have lunch and take a nap. Then go back to work. :eek2:

I never could really understand that. Theres no way that would work here in our Ultra fast paced Go-Go-Go mentality. ;)

It took some getting used to. I found it boring most times, because there was nothing to do. except eat, read, watch TV, talk, and sleep.

Part of learning other Cultures. :shrug:

 

However there is plenty of evidence supporting a short Nap in the afternoon.

 

Thats another Marveling Mystery of the brain and body. Sleep!

 

I mentioned this in the cool animals thread. Okapi's sleep a mere 5 minutes daily; and stay totally alert! while Sloths and Male lions sleep practically all day.

 

S' Funny...

I try to sleep at least 10 hours each night during the week. If I sleep less than 8, I can barely function the next day. Various doctors reckon I suffer from fibromyalgia and/or so-called yuppie flu. I look forward to weekends mainly because then I can sleep more. Ideally, I would like to sleep about 14 hours a day. My cat really enjoys all the sleeping that goes on in my house. ;)

 

I lived in Spain for a year, and found their lifestyle much more agreeable. I really liked the siesta time, even though I didn't always sleep. I also liked going to bed later and getting up later. Maybe there's just something "wrong" with my circadian rhythm. :singer:

Let's say for too long. I suffer from insomnia, or a variety of it, which makes it really hard for me to fall asleep, and when I finally do, I wake up really fast. So a normal night for me includes about 4 hours of sleep in total, although it is not continuous.

 

A side effect of sleeping problems is bad bedtime habits - I often stay up very late even before a workday because I dread going to bed. :(

 

I've had sleeping problems all my life.

[Stargazer]

4-6 hours, which in the long run is probably not enough for me.
