How much do you sleep?

I was just wondering how much you TA's sleep.

I'm a genetic freak (I'm a "short sleeper"), and I only sleep 1-3 hours a day. I've been like that since I was an early teenager. If I sleep any more I feel horrible all day and every once in a while I even go a night with no sleep. I know it's rare to be like that, but I also know most people don't sleep the normal 8 hours a night. So anyway...how much do you sleep a night?

wow... wish I could do that, would definitely have more time to do stuff!

I sleep on average 6 hours, I try and get 7-8, but it never happens - feels really good but if I over sleep, like 9 hours then I just feel really drained for some reason?

i sleep considerably more when i am on 1-Testosterone which causes lethargy. one time (when i was dosing particularly high) i went for about 30 hours. but my parents knew i wasn't dead because i would wake up every few hours to eat, then go straight back to sleep.

it was a winter break i think, so i would basically only wake up to work out, then take a shower and go back to sleep, but that time i missed my workout (gym closed before i woke up) so i just decided to keep sleeping all the way till the next one.

off-drugs i average about 8 hours, sometimes go to 15 at the most if i am very tired.

i know exactly what you mean about being drained, and i have the solution to your problem. instead of sleeping the night straigh you drink some water before bed, then you wake up at night to take a piss, after that have a quick snack and drink more water until you're not thirsty, then go back to sleep.

its the hunger and dehydration that makes you feel like shit in the morning IMHO. dehydration is also responsible for much of the hangover symptoms from alcohol, and it kinda feels similar to oversleeping doesn't it ?

12 hours is a good sleep for me

Sometimes it's good not to sleep a lot, and sometimes it sucks. My girlfriend is a normal sleeper, and I try to sleep normally with her, but I end up tossing and turning all night keeping her awake. Sometimes I'll take Tylenol PM or Benadryl just to knock me out so that I can sleep the whole night and not keep her up. Or else I'll just lay there for a while until she falls asleep and then get up and watch tv or get on the net. Sometimes I wish I could just sleep normally for her sake.

on good days...8-9 hours

bad days 5-6 hours maybe less if i have insomnia

but sometimes i get home early from college and feel knackered...plonk onto bed and just nap away...did 5 hours that way and then slept another 7 hours. good 12 hours sleep there...wasnt knackered at all the next day...felt like gold

Not enough.

have to get up at 6ish for school on weekdays, and i can never fall asleep before like 1130
so i rarely get more than 6 hours on weekdays
weekends, i usually average maybe 10
its good to set aside one day and sleep till like 1, catch up on w/e i missed during the week
this weekend i'm not getting any tho, fucking working at 8 o'clock

Yeah, going to bed at 3 am when you have to get up at 7 am again sucks, what? *gg*

btw. What really sucks is when you wake up before your alarm rings... I hate that

Ugh, that's always what I end up doing though.

I've really got to stop it, as it's literally impossible to concentrate if you're short of sleep.

Give me 6 hours and Ill be fine.....5 is borderline....4 will take awhile for my body to get started for the rest of the day.

I can usualy manage wery well with 6 hours sleep and can still function well for some time with only a few hours sleep (2- 3 hours per day are common when im overworked ). However i usualy make up for it at weekend 10 of 12 hours per day...got to be well rested for those parties

I don't think I sleep enough. I usually go to sleep at the same time as the Americans and wake up at the same time as the Europeans.

Where do I know that from?

i dont get alot of sleep during the week, maybe 6 hours a night max, which totally kills me by friday morning lol. i hate fridays. but i catch up on saturdays and sundays. i just had 11 hours sleep :-D

I usually wake up after 5-6 hours. then if I really wanna get up I can, or I can sleep another 45 - 60 mins.

I try to sleep about 8 hours a night, but if I have to get up early, I sleep less.

Btw, can you sleep during the day? Personally I have to be dog tired or ill to do it, otherwise I cannot sleep before 10-11 pm.

One of the symptoms you're addicted to forums

8-10 hrs.sometimes 12 or 13

I get the average amount of sleep...7-8 hours...weekends I probably get about 2 extra hours more if i'm partying.

Well it's 3:40pm here and I've just got up

Sleep is gooooood

During the week i get about 7 hours in and on the weekend usually 10-11 hours. I like to sleep.

I can't, it has to be dark for me to sleep (school is different) If it is still light out my room has to be dark but i'll be laying there quite a while before i crash.
