NFT: How much do you sleep?

and I don't usually snore although my wife says that sometimes I do until she moves me.

I'm used to that many hours of sleep, so it doesn't really impact me too much. And since I have two rugrats, I don't usually get a chance to nap much.

Usually from about eleven to five(ish).

But I also nap about an hour almost every day.

... and i'm very cantankerous without it

about 4 hours a night. I go to bed around 330 and wake up around 730.

Been on that type of schedule since im basically 14 years old, so 15 years now. I thought giving up soda last september would help, but I still wind up staying up real late all the time

.

and periodically I simply don't seem very tired and stay awake all night. Then as I guess as I need it sometimes I will sleep solid for eight or nine hours.

How do you know?

so my schedule if I'm not traveling is weird.

I'll be up until 2 or 3 sometimes and roll out of bed around 8.

other times at home if I don't want to be up late I have a few drinks before bed (like I do when I'm traveling) to help fall asleep. Then I'm usually out by midnight.

Usually 7-8 on the weekends if I don't need to be up early for something.

Describes my patterns also

And yes, I snore. A lot.

6 to 7 hours days off

take a 15 to 30 minute power nap at lunch time

does it for me.

7 hours per night, but with a 5 month old at home who is still sleep training, it is not yet back to a consistent 7 hours.

we have an 11 month old and right now she sleeps well so I can get 8 or 9 hours if I wanted to, but I think that's too much sleep (end up just being more tired the next day) so I'll try and go to be at 11 and wake up at 6.

I can function fine on 5 hours, and did when my daughter was really young, but 8 is my max, anything more sucks, IMO.

snore, but not often. I'm helped by the fact that it doesn't take me long to fall asleep, and if I had to I could fall asleep on a close-line. I also wake-up the overwhelming majority of the time without the aide of an alarm clock.

.

8-10 hours on Saturdays

5-6 hours on Sunday's

I wait.

Sometimes a bit less, sometimes (well, rarely) a bit more. I can't go to bed if I'm not really tired - I start becoming obsessed that I'm not falling asleep, looking at the clock, etc. Plus it's the only part of the day where I get any solitude and peace and quiet. I stay up until I feel myself start dozing off which is usually between 12 and 1, sometimes later, and I get up at 6. On the weekends, my kids are always up by 7-7:30, so no sleeping in then either.

Every now and then I'll have a night where I'm just really tired early and I'll go to bed around 10. That's maybe once or twice a month.

"cantankerous" without it?!?!?

and with it?

I never used to get up on a weekend earlier than 9. Now, I don't think I've slept past 9 in eight years or so.

Start my day often at 3 or 4 AM after being up two or three times in night to pee, etc.

Fortunately I'm retired and lead a life of extraordinary leisure. Common for me to take a nap during the day, not unheard of to take two. From as little as 20 minutes to as much as two hours each.

I get up at 5:30 on week days, any time before 9:00 on weekends.
Weekdays I get 4-8 hours depending on where I am staying. Probably average 5-6 on week days.

Weekends are all over the map too. Sometimes 9 hours, other times 6, probably averages out to 7-8 on weekends. I only snore if I sleep on my back, which usually means I'm drunk.

When I was younger I was able to sleep in on weekends getting up like 11. Now I'm up by 7 and at times it pisses me off. It is nice though getting things done early in the morning on weekends.

Unless you are a short-sleeper (which is rare), sleeping significantly less than 7 hours or more than nine doesn't lead to very pretty findings in the epidemiological literature.

I get about 2 hours. The rest of the time I'm catching up on all of gidie's threads he posted that day.

I can't see how people operate on 4-5 hours consistently. I guess your body just gets used to whatever you typically get. But that will catch up to people's health later on. That simply isn't enough sleep.

7 hours average weeknights, 8-9 on the weekends. Never nap though.

Non work days, 5-6. Once in awhile I might hit 8.

Maybe 7 on the weekends.

Because I don't actually sleep for 8 hours. I wake up about 3x a night. I have no trouble falling back asleep but between the time it takes me to actually fall asleep to begin with and the waking up a few times I wind up actually sleeping for about 6 1/2 hours.

Less than 6 hours of sleep is no good for me. I'm getting fucking old.

But when I start feeling tired that's the issue. I could have felt tired as hell all day, but once it hits 9pm or so, I'm wide awake. I then usually get tired again around 1 or 2am.

For months, my schedule used to be awake from 12pm to 6am as all of our missions happened late as fuck. So I got used to that kind of a schedule. Come 6am when I go to work these days, I'm groggy as hell.

but with all the noise at my job that's not surprising.

I cant sleep at home....to many fun things to do.

working nights on a CWW and needing to sleep during the day 3-5 nights, my sleep can be royally screwed by:
1. lawnmowers
2. shitty mufflers/tailpipes (heh)
3. garbage trucks
4. neighbors

plus if I happen to roll on my stomach i'll start kicking and my lower back will hurt

.

Every night. Can't sleep any longer, even on weekends.

But I do love to sleep in on the weekends...

Never been a nap guy...but as I get older...naps make me happy

Also try to make sure at least once a week I get a solid 8+

Don't always manage it, but feels great when I do

midnights and get about 4 hours, sometimes 5 hours of sleep. So far I am doing alright on this amount of sleep but on my days off I get about 8 to 9. Gotta recharge

4 - 7 hrs unfortunately

with it - I'm effervescent : )

I feel like such a sloth reading some of your sleep habits. Since getting into restaurants, my sleep times are nuts. Im not even going to tell you. Lol, I usually cant get away with less than 9 (never tried to consistently). I have a very tough time getting up.

As far as naps, I cant go to sleep if I cant get a full 2 hours. Any less and Im out of it. It also takes a lot to get me to FALL asleep. Cant sleep on buses unless exhausted.

My wife says I only snore if I am REALLY tired. So only occasionally.

Like some others have said, if I go a string of days straight with 4-5 hours, I'll typically, eventually go to bed early one night by maybe 8 or 8:30 and get a full 9-plus hours. But that, too, is only occasionally.
