| 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 ed 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. |

... 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. |

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 ed 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 :toothless |
