Title: How much do you sleep?
Post by: crockett on August 09, 2007, 02:33:50 PM: I don't ever really feel tired, but I never seem to sleep 8 hours a night anymore. I work from home so I tend to not have a normal sleep schedule being I don't have to wake up early to go anywhere.

I tend to go to sleep around 4 to 5 am and I get up at 10 to 11 am everyday. It doesn't matter if I go to sleep earlier I still always wake up after about 6 hours.

The only difference is, I notice I get more done if I wake up early in the morning. Meaning if I wake up at 6 or 7 am I seem more likely to get stuff done, than if I wake up at 11am or later even if I slept ther same amount of hours.

I can't complain really as I have almost 18 hours a day to do what ever, but I wonder if any others are the same way?

Post by: texasmom on August 09, 2007, 03:29:04 PM: Yesterday got 13 hours of sleep ~ was awesome. If I could sleep that much nightly I'd be pretty happy about it.

Ever seen that sponge bob episode w/sandy hibernating & being woken up a monster? That's me.

My family lets me sleep as much as is good for their health.

Seriously ~ 8 hours at least nightly.

Post by: Maverick on August 09, 2007, 03:35:53 PM: I average about 6.5 to 7.5 hours a night. I seldom use an alarm clock unless there is some kind of early apointment like the Doctor. I guess I wake up when I have gotten enough sleep most of the time.

I have one of those internal clocks... awake at 0500 period. Even if the Wifey sets a clock to 0500 I wake up 10 minutes early to keep the clock honest. Then I eyeball it... it knows its life is on line.

I haven't used an alarm clock in 30 Years...

In a past life I just waited til Mav let his Dinosuar out of the cave in the Morning.

:D

Post by: AAolds on August 09, 2007, 05:18:53 PM: Since I started playing AHII my sleep rate has fallen from 6-8 hours a night to 4-6 hours. No real loss. Time enough for sleep in the grave.
Title: How much do you sleep?
Post by: 68Wooley on August 09, 2007, 05:21:38 PM: About 5-6 hours a night, with usually one monster 10 hour recharge at weekends.

Trying to sleep before midnight is pointless for me - it just doesn't happen. On the other hand, working for a company where the majority of people are on the East Coast or in Scotland means I need to get up early or I miss everyone.

How many weeks have you spent with snot and tears running out or your holes, I am betting 4 to 6 weeks from your posts here:D

5 to 6 hours a night, 8 plus on weekends.

Post by: LePaul on August 09, 2007, 06:01:04 PM: I'm averaging 7.5 - 8 these days

My shift with my new job is 10pm - 8am, 4 days on, 3 off.

Day sleeping can be a challenge if the neighbors are noisy. Thankfully the white noise of the ceiling fan or air conditioner seems to null most of it out.

Post by: Finrod on August 09, 2007, 06:46:06 PM: Is "not nearly enough" an acceptable answer.

I thought as I got older I'd need to sleep less.:huh

Post by: nirvana on August 09, 2007, 07:32:12 PM: I thought teenagers were supposed to be invincible machines capable of partying all weekend and drinking all night after school. Turns out we need even more sleep then other people according "scientists".

My answer is the same as Finrod's.
Title: How much do you sleep?
Post by: USRanger on August 09, 2007, 08:18:35 PM: 3-4 hours a night. After you do it for so many years, your body just gets used to it and adapts.

Post by: Dago on August 09, 2007, 08:29:48 PM: 6.5 to 7 hours on weekdays, 7 to 8 hours on weekends.
Title: How much do you sleep?
Post by: DREDIOCK on August 09, 2007, 09:30:35 PM: 4-5 hours.

I could sleep more but I dont want to.
If I had my way I'd never sleep at all
I feel like Im going to miss something.

Other then that when it catches up with me I'll take a power nap of a couple hours maybe once a week.

Title: How much do you sleep?
Post by: cpxxx on August 10, 2007, 01:41:12 AM: I like my sleep, used to get a lot more, but with a six month old son, I now get a lot less. That's why I'm sitting here at 7:30 in the morning typing this instead of catching up on my sleep after a fraught few days of flying.

To be fair, he's not a bad sleeper as babies go, but as I'm sure all parents know you tend to wake up if he sighs and turns over never mind cry.

I find I sleep a lot more when my life is less than interesting. There is not real point in waking up if your life is dull. It's sure not dull lately.
