How Much Sleep Do You Get?

Re: How Much Sleep Do You Get?

Oh and that's not a theory about getting too much sleep, it's a fact. I just read a study on it somewhere online. If you get too much sleep it's as detrimental to the body as getting not enough. I know it's hard to believe and doesn't really make much sense but that's what the study says. I'll post the link if I can find it.

Just because there was a study that said so, that still doesn't make it a fact. See if you can find that link.

If I wake up without an alarm it will be between 7-9 hours depending on my diet and exercise. I usually get 5-6 though because I play too much videogames.

I try to get 7-9 hours. If I get less than 7 though, I am pretty much wiped.

I get between 6-8 hours a night.

I'm in the same range.

webMD on oversleeping

Second paragraph of the entire article...

"Researchers are careful to note, however, that two other factors -- depression and low socioeconomic status -- are strongly associated with oversleeping. Those two factors may be the reason for the observed negative health effects. For example, people of lower socioeconomic status may have less access to health care and therefore more undiagnosed illnesses, such as heart disease, which, in turn, may cause oversleeping."

5.5 to 6 hours. A little more on the weekends, depending on the youngest childs sleep habits.

6-7 hours during the week and 9-11 on weekends.

Re: How Much Sleep Do You Get?

Very little. I usually pull atleast one all nighter a week. I just sleep for a few hours when I can. At the most, like 5 hours a night.

Eight or more...I shift things usually so I'm right around eight hours when I have to get my son up (or during the summer when he wakes me up).

5-6... I'm more of a night person, used to staying up till 2-3 AM as long as I can remember, which doesn't help the fact that I now have to wake up at 5AM for my job. I manage to sleep at 11-12 now but I have to pop open an energy drink once I get to my desk or it's game over.

Since moving to overnight shifts, I actually get more rest than before. I haven't had problems sleeping during the day, especially since my son and wife are at daycare (she also works there), when on first shift, he would wake up in the middle of the night at some point.

I've also been taking Melatonin supplements, and they've helped get me into a good sleeping pattern. My only problem is weekends. Where I get home from work at 7am on Friday morning, I try to stay up all day and then go to bed when my wife does Friday night, in order to have a normal weekend. Problem is, my body is now used to sleeping during the day, so no matter how tired I am Friday night, I keep going in and out of sleep, leaving me really tired on the weekends. Oh well.

Bumping old thread rather than starting a new one. How's everyone's sleeping patterns these days?

Anyone else find that as they are getting older they are sleeping less and less? I used to feel like I needed 8 hours a night at least in my teenage years but now that I'm in my early 30's if I get more than 6 or 7 it seems like too much and I feel like crap.

Re: How Much Sleep Do You Get?

I'm usually asleep by 11 and wake at 5:30 on days I work and 7 on days I'm off.

Re: How Much Sleep Do You Get?

Asleep by 10:30 p.m. and wake up every morning (Even on weekend) at 7:00 a.m.

I get 8 hours of sleep, the half hour is built in for time to fall asleep and to make up for times I wake up in the middle of the night haha
