me too theo I love to sleep

i think i need at least 10 but i only get about 4-5 hours on a regular basis. lately i've been going through spells of insomina or i'd take maybe 1 or 2 2hour naps and thats all the sleep i get

My wife calls me "midnight" all the time, because that seems to be the time when I make a play for her...usually i'm sleeping by 12:30 (Don't judge me!)

wake at 6:15, so ..5.5 to 6 hours during the work week...

At times I feel I only need 5 or 6 and usually wake with more energy when I get less sleep, at times or at least once in awhile.

Back in the day, when I was living a more stressful life, I slept less, but it was not the most healthy moment for me.

Now, I crash out on the floor and love my sleep. I would say I get 8-9 hours now and I believe it is my system saying, "you need it".

My life has less stress these days, living healthy... and sleeping very well.

So I say... to more sleep these days.

Ps~Even though I crash out after I get home some days, I do wake up fairly early, which I like. It feels like a full, productive day.

Depends on which phase I'm in...right now, 15 hours a day Then it'll tilt the other way and I'm unable to sleep for a few days, even if I'm so tired I wanna die or if I take sleeping pills.

I get about 5 I need at least 8 to feel good.

I get between 3-5 a night. Last night I got to sleep for 45 whole minutes minutes.

If I had the chance I would sleep for 8 hours plus but since I have such a hard time falling asleep every single night and then I HAVE to get up so early every single day...I can't see that happening anytime soon.

What about days you dont have to be up early, do you get to sleep more then?

veronikka said:

I don't have days where I don't have to be up early, but if I did I would sleep forever.

JustErin said:

why don't you go to bed a bit earlier - or doesn't that work? Why can't you sleep?

ZombieKitten said:

I have a problem falling asleep...it's been that way since high school and now I am just used to it. I guess it's constant insomnia.

For me it depends on the situation

When I lived in /visit Japan, I can go on 3 hours
In the states I need 7 hours, and 2 cups of coffee to make it thru the day

JustErin said:

Okay, why can't you sleep more?

Je ne sais pas.

Wanna help me try and get sleepy?

JustErin said:

I can't sleep if I have a conversation (like about WORK or something ) before trying to sleep, or sex then I can't switch off my brain, but usually none of these things happen so I'm OK for the most part

It depends, normally I get about 4 hours...some nights I don't sleep at all and others where I get 8 or more.

I think I need 10-12 hours sometimes
Now that I sleep about @ 5.00 or 4.00 in the morning and I wake up late I get about 8 hours of sleep
When I have school and stuff well I guess I will get 8 hours of sleeping again...

Hello Julie. I didnt see this until now. Hope you're well.

JustErin said:

Oh brother.

I need at least 4 hours apparently doesnt matter what time I go to bed I wake up 4 hours later and cant go back to sleep

JustErin said:

I would suggest Ambien b/c you're asleep within 30 minutes BUT with a kid you may not wanna be in that deep of a sleep I can't get my hands on Ambien anymore, but a half glass of wine helps

JustErin said:

Since I didn't work today I got 9 hrs of sleep I love it!!!

12 hours most nights. I'm not even kidding.


I'm very well rested.

So no work then? Or maybe no spare time? Something's gotta go in your equation!

retina said:

All I HAVE is spare time. Not really working right now. Could be, but I'm lazy. Basically I'm just getting ready to perform again after being off for 2 years from an injury, and so my whole day is sleeping and then working out when I'm awake. Oh, and cleaing the house too.

A strict 9.5 hours sleep every night for me . I went through periods where
I'd sleep for 11 hours one day then the next day I'd have trouble getting to sleep , and over a week or so my sleeping pattern would be really disrupted , to the extent that I'd only be able to sleep for 6 hours then have to get up
early , and be really tired 4 or 5 hours later . If I tried taking a catnap
for half hour to get myself normal I'd often end up sleeping for 2 hours , then when it came my regular time to go to bed later on I couldnt sleep for hours and hours , just weird . Now when I go to bed I set my alarm for 9.5 hours
later and get up then , and I no longer feel tired during the day . No oversleeping , just a regular bedtime and amount of sleep is the only thing that works for me in the long term nowadays .

sleep? wtf is that?
