First I sleep on bed not on average. I run best with 8 hrs. With significantly less than that I'm less productive and sharp.

In bed between 9 and 11 & up between 6-7 so that's 7-10 hours.

I once slept for 23 hours straight after a particularly debauched weekend. Probably did lasting structural damage to my bladder.

I've done the 24 hour sleep. There is nothing more fucked up than waking up after that one. Disorienting to say the least.

Still a bit better than taking apart toasters in fragrant nerve stained underwear for 4 days straight I reckon.

Average probably 7.5 hours, but 8-9 would be better. On good day our son doesn't wake me up before 7, weekends included...
But colleagues assure me there will be a time I need to wake him up.

For me, what makes all the difference in my feeling of restedness is if I have a natural wake up. As in, on my days off when I get to "sleep in", which is really just being allowed to wake up in my own time, without an alarm. Even if I've only had a few hours sleep I will still wake up around 9-9:30 am feeling well rested. I know there's research that supports the whole time spent in REM sleep theory - I'm sure this has something do with it.

5 hours weekdays - I get up at 5 A.M. for the gym, ready to work at 8:00 A.M Finish Working around 9:00 P.M (I run my own business) I stay up later to geek around and smoke pot - Sometimes I can afford to get up later, usually during the weekdays when my schedule is left a little loose.

Originally posted by SYSTEM-J ... my caffeine intake is pretty low - probably about 50mg a day on average as I don't drink tea or coffee, whereas even a standard Starbucks coffee contains 260mg of caffeine.

What do you drink/take that has 50mg of caffeine?



I'm honestly not sure how much I sleep. I don't have a regular schedule at all. Some nights, like last night, I didn't get to sleep until 3 am, but then I woke up at 9 am feeling great; other nights I'll go to sleep at 1 am and wake up at 10 am and feel awful.

If I was pressed, I guess I'd say I get about 7 hours on weekdays, probably closer to 10-12 on weekends, if I don't have any early commitments.

My problem is that I love the world late at night. I'm in the city, but it's almost deserted, which always strikes me as beautiful. With no early commitments 5 days out of the week, I really have no impetus to wake up before noon, except for my desire to be productive, which often keeps me up at night.

Currently I'm only having caffeine around once a week, since I don't need it that much.

Nighttime is better because you can more easily be by yourself.

She's a fine sistah, but no daylight kinda girl.

They say a person needs around 8 hours of sleep, but I guess it differs for every person. Sometimes I can sleep for 12 hours straight in weekends but feel fucked the rest of the day (quite like others in this thread). And I too have had mornings in which I woke up early after only a few hours of sleep and still feel more energetic than usually.

I drink quite a bit of coffee during weekdays (3-4 cups in the morning, 2-3 in the afternoon) but never in the evening and almost never on weekends. I'm planning on doing a whole week without caffeine but the same amound of sleep to see what effect it has on my energy and productivity.

I don't have kids or a significant other who drain my energy so maybe I'll have to take that into the equation as well
