How much sleep do you get? How tired are you? - Page 4

Melusine · 02-27-2004, 01:41 PM

Well, I need a lot of sleep, ever since I fell ill some years ago I've needed lots of rest and sleep. Nowadays I'm doing much better though - a few late-nighters don't exhaust me like they used to. In fact I've been having a few sleepless nights lately *cough*
But I'd say I do need 8 hours of sleep, still. I often get less but then I have to catch up with a nap later on.

Lately, 3-4 hours.
All the lovely shows that come on at late night are keeping me awake. It's kind of like an addiction, you know? [img]graemlins/1drool.gif[/img]

Tsk tsk, seems not many people know that the healthy lifestyle is 8 hours sleep, 8 hours work and 8 hours play

*looks at own lifestyle* damn I have a lot of work to do!

I've been one of them. At one point, I was working 70-80 hours a week, starting grad school, and interviewing for another job. I would literally nod off every 2-3 minutes going to and from job interviews. I think I was averaging 1-2 hours a night at that point. I ate in the car in between work and school, and just wore myself into the ground. Finally, I got a new job and quit the other one, and literally slept for 24 hours straight that next weekend. And I see it all the time. People nodding off at lights, reading, eating, etc. And then you hear how people are more "productive" in the U.S. At what cost?

Ugh - been up all night partying. Due at my parents' place for lunch in 5 hours, which means I have to leave here in 3.5 hours. Ugh.
Had a good time though!

Epona · 02-28-2004, 01:55 AM

I'm too old for all this!

Epona · 02-28-2004, 02:14 AM

Ah sod it I've had a great time, you're only too old when you're 6 feet under.

I'm a university student, sleep is a luxury I can only indulge in on weekends.
but not this weekend, I have 4 midterms on Monday and Tuesday, I'm going to be so jacked up on caffeine....

I read somewhere that as long as you get a minimun of 3 hours a night, allowing you to get some REM sleep in.

Epona · 02-28-2004, 02:36 AM

3 hours sleep seems like a distant memory right now! I think you're right about that but it will take its toll after a while if you're only getting 3 hours a night.
Caffeine is evil, just say no.
*sips coffee*

Good luck with your midterms! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Me: I need about 8 hours a night to be on top of things. 10 if I've been on the reefer... But I usually get around 6-7 hours.
