Thread: Sleep

That sounds enough

So the regarded body requirement of "9hrs 15mins" a night is a lil over-rated?

how the hell do u fall asleep at 10 30?

im basically the same age, and cant sleep till 1 or 2 nightly

Everyone is different, some people need much less sleep then others, When I was a Teenager I used to need 8:30-10hrs sleep or otherwise I wouldn't recover and I'd be pretty slow/miserable most of the day. Now I can sleep 6 hours and I am fine... On average I'd say 8hrs is fine.

Im not sure about the "regarded body requirement". I was told 8 hours a night. I know one friend who can sleep for 12 hours and another friend who sleeps 6 every night exept weekends.

yea, i can function decently well on very little sleep, but thats still not very good for growing/recovering

I think you need to be the judge of that. Do you feel tired a lot during the day? If so, you may need more sleep than that. I'm usually pretty good with 7 hours a night myself and maybe a bit more 1 or 2 days a week, or a good nap 1 or 2 days per week.

i'm the same way. i'm tired throughout the day, but then at night i just can't fall asleep, even if i turn my tv off...

On average its about 10:30 because i ahve to get up at 6....I usually get in bed and speak on the phone to my g/f for 45mins...(i guess women just tire us out huh )

Im dead tired when i get up though. Once im up im ok, but the initial wakeup is a lil tiring...
I would like to get more sleep...but hwk restricts it as im pretty much clogged up til i go to bed aside from food breaks.

On the weekends sometimes i dont as much sleep as during the week...but mostly i make up lost hours on the weekend.

Honestly, making up sleep on the weekends is a bad route to take. You really should wake up the same time every single day, no exceptions. The goal is to get your body to know its sleep pattern. Doing things differently on some days disrupts this and it will never learn. You should also use your bed only for sleeping - don't read, listen to music, watch TV, etc. from bed. This will teach your body that your bed is for other things, whereas it is desirable to teach it that the bed is for sleeping. So go to bed and wake up at the same time every single day and night and do nothing except sleep in your bed. If you have to read, get up and sit on a chair (or the floor for that matter).
