unless you come from the deep south of the uuuunited states sonny

 

One two, Freddy's coming for you
Three four better lock the door
Five six grab your crucifix
Seven eight gonna stay up late
Nine ten never sleep again!

 

Obviously not enough, that "l" looked like an "h" to me

 

Generally hit the 7-8 mark during the week but when I wake ona Friday morning at about 8am I will only get about 8 hours sleep til I go to bed on Sunday evening. Generally run down every Monday no matter how much sleep I get on Sunday night

 

6 &1/2 hrs during the week. Sometimes 9 hrs on a Sunday, although they say you don't sleep so well when you're tanked up with alcohol !

 

4-5 hours during the week,When it come to a weekend anything more than 7 hours and i feel like i have not been asleep at all.

Last night went to bed at 2am was up at 6 am,so probably had about 3 hours sleep.

 

mine generally varies. with working nights sleeping patterns can be strange. work 10-6am. usually get to bed for 7.30am, up at 2.45 to pick mrs up so whats that, about 7 hours. will do that during the week, then on a friday when im finished until sunday, il snooze on the sofa for 3 hours, get up at 10-11am, stay up until 10-11pm fri night. get up sat when i want, but then stay up all day and all night until around 5-6am sunday morning (for work next night) then get up around 2-3pm for 10pm start back at work. been doing that for about 2 years.

usually would like 8-9 good hours kip, otherwise im not usually worth knowing at home or work.

My sleep totally varies but I try to catch up a little at the weekend with a lie in. During the week I'm up at 7 and usually not in bed until between 12-2.

 

I sleep up to 5 hours a night usually, and have done since I was in my early teens. I worked off the basis that your brain is fresher in the morning so I would always get up early to do my homework. I've been getting into work before 7.30am all my working life too - it's the best time to come in as there's no phones going and muppets disturbing you with boring talk about what they did last night!

 

I know what you mean! Used to do shift work myself, and after a few years it proper kills (supposed to take 5 years off your life!). On a nice monday to fri 8-4 pattern now, and get my 8 hours a night (bed at 10 up at 6). Find it hard to lay in past 7 on a weekend due to getting up at 6 every day but can still watch TV in bed

 

Normally 7.5 hours but that can depend on Mrs Abdabz snoring

11.20 - 6.50 every work night and 2am to 9.30am ish at weekends

 

Doesn't matter how long I sleep - it's never enough. I always feel like the living dead in the morning.

Why does just reading this thread make me feel sleepy?

 

I don't sleep, I lapse into a temporary coma.

I normally have about 6 hours in bed during the week and normally less at the weekend. Sometimes I get less than 4 hours over the whole weekend - the joys of being a weekend warrior.

 

You might have a disorder like sleep apnea which is preventing you from sleeping properly?

 

I always aim for 8 hours. If I'm honest, most of the time I achieve this, but I'm not always as consistent in a routine as I should be. Having no regular bed time and waking up time can be as -if not more- disruptive as not getting your 8 hours.

Sleep really is very important to the body and mind!

It would come even quicker with no sleep!

Too right. Also, we don't want you going postal - chronic sleep deprivation can lead to psychotic episodes.

The body works in 4 hour cycles. To this end, you will find you are far more rested after 4 hours sleep, than you will be after, say, 6. The reason for this is that after 6 hours, you will be in "deep" sleep, and after 4 , you won't be.

Or something like that.

Obviously 8 hours for the win, but better 4 than 6.

 

I don't get enough sleep, maybe 6-7 hours during the week but it doesn't get any better at the weekends because I can't help waking up early because my body clock tells me too, so its a killer when I've been out on a bender and I'm still waking around 6:30 - 700am!! I'm always tired, don't think a day goes by when I don't mention how tired I am!!

 

I remember reading something claiming that people who sleep less actually live longer. It could be cause or effect though (or bollocks).
