How many hours sleep do you have?

riddler · 17 Mar 2008 at 22:51

I'm trying to get my body back into working order, over the last few months i've found myself sleeping at 3am+ till 12pm+, so i'm trying to work myself a regular sleeping pattern.

Does the amount of sleep you need purley depend on the person? is 8 hours to much?

i'm considering 12am - 7am perfect for not going to bed to early and not staying in bed to late.

between 5-12 hours ,the later I go to bed the less sleep I seem to need !
8 is normal !

Regardless, I feel its never enough.

Not enough with all this uni work, and work to get my food. Though i did forget to set my alarm and slept in for 4hrs which was nice.

Well a good nights sleep is about 10 hours for me, 12-14 if I'm having a lie in. Anything less than 6 hours and I really struggle to get up.

About 8 here on a work day, more like 10 otherwise.

Heres a good read (http://www.webmd.com/content/Article/62/71838.htm). I find it strange though i don't drink much caffeine but i can sleep quite easily for over 12hours even after a day of regular exercise and head work. Possibly a sleeping disorder (or just plain lazy

).

probably running on 7 max at the moment, go to bed between 12pm-1am in work at 8am, so up and out of bed at about 7.

its more about a routine

EDIT: I feel perky and alert at work after i have my cup of tea

so you sleep for like 19 hours?

Ukadder · 17 Mar 2008 at 23:05

Normally goto bed at about 11.30 and listen to my iPod while starting to drop off and turn that off about 12.30. Wake up at 8.

So normally between 7 and 8 hours on average I suppose....always still tired mind.

Depends on the person how much sleep a person needs I think.

You aint the only one to have said it though.

G-MAN2004 · 17 Mar 2008 at 23:07

Usually around 8 hours. If it's a holiday though, which it is, then I'll probably have much less.

pitchfork · 17 Mar 2008 at 23:10

Varies, for example, i have a buzz on because its st. paddys day, so i'm not going to sleep for a while however.
I have to be up for 5 tomorow to get in for 7, i'll probably get about 4 hours sleep.
But wednesday i'm not required until about 1 so i'll have nice 8 hour sleep at least.

Sometimes i'll have an early night, varies.

dowie · 17 Mar 2008 at 23:11

IIRC 7 hours is optimum - less than 6 or more than 8 is not good for you

I just had a read, i think this is quite valid actually, i probably drink a bit 2 much and i do have times when i just knocked out cold for 12 hrs+. maybe its a sign i should cut down my drinking, or go to bed earlier...

where that beer go

Anksy · 17 Mar 2008 at 23:14

my sleep pattern can get screwed up so easy, as no matter how hard i try i cannot fall asleep if im not tired, this is how screwed up it is at the moment, i got up at 8.30pm ill probably go bed about 2pm tomorrow afternoon, im like a owl lately,

if i go to sleep between midday and about 11.30pm i only need to have 5 or 6 hours sleep, if i go to sleep from 11.30pm to about 11.30am then i can sleep for upto 12 hours, one day i hope to get the answer to why my sleep pattern is so whacked up, and why i cant help it.
