i think i read somewhere that you should be good with 6 hrs of sleep.

 

[k town trash]

How old are you? I feel like they've been preaching 8 hours of sleep a night since I was in middle school.

this. like how you should brush your teeth 3 times a day

 

[guzzy]

I need 8hrs to be cheery and well rested.

Usually get 6-7 hrs 

Anyone notice when sometimes you get like 4hrs of sleep it seemed longer,like 8? 

That happen to me and I feel well rested for some reason.

 

[bearclawd]

I absolutely need 8 to function normally during the day. Less than that and I'm tired as ****. :x

I remember them summers though when I would get 10-12.

[nazdrowie]

i try to go to sleep around 9:30 pm but dont fall asleep til later and set my alarm for 3:30 am. sometimes i wake up before then about 3 am.

i get to work earlier 6-2 pm most days. sometimes 5-1 pm if im working from home.

i also take a commuter bus so i usually pick up 40 or so mins on that ride.

But i usually get around 7ish. I try to get to bed around 10 and im up at 5am every day. But a lot of times i only get 5 or 6 hours. I can't sleep on the weekends that well either since il be in bed at like 2-3am and up by 7 or 8. But i have learned to love afternoon post gym naps on the weekends. So im sure over the course of the week im averaging 6-8hours a week per day.

 

[twizzi]

i sleep like 4 hours

 

[crazy ebw]

I need at least 6 to make it through a day.

 

[bes1rk]

They've always said 8 hours of sleep is best but I only get 4.5 - 5 hours of sleep during the weekdays and about 7-8 hours on the weekends. 

I hope to one day be able to just wake up when my eyes chooses to open... that great feeling of being completely rested 

 

[hankmoody]

Wake up at 430 every weekday to workout.
Take one 10 minute nap during the morniing.
Take a 20-25 minute nap at lunch.
Take a 10-15 minute nap after my workday is over.
Go to sleep around midnight every day.

I am almost going to be 32 years old and I haven't even snapped out of staying up so late from my college years. I still go to bed roughly around 1-2am at night and wake up around 7am or so. I am averaging about 5-6 hours per day on the weekdays and on the weekends, I'll try and get 7 hours.

ITT, tough guys talk about how they only need 4 hours of sleep. Unless you're taking strategic naps throughout the day, if you're getting less than 6 hours, you're likely not at your peak. I know a lot of people who get a little sleep and then they say "well when I sleep longer I never feel as good", which isn't a great conclusion to draw. Consistently get better sleep and you'll probably feel better with a couple more hours.

Naps are critical, though. I wish it was socially acceptable in this country to nap at work.

thats b.s. We need between 6-8 hours sleep. I average 4.5 and its not enough. Between work, the baby and wife, we need rest to de-stress and think clearly.

3 Things humans need, food, exercise & rest. Deprive any of those 3 and we will not function at our optimum levels.

a few hours to do whatever i want
repeat
