The Glade 4.0

It seems even if I sleep 8-9 hours, it's not enough. On the weekends, I can sleep for 10 hours, and I feel like **** a few hours after waking up. On the week days, I sleep usually 6 hours. I didn't get back from the ski trip yesterday until 2 AM and I was beat, slept 4 hours and got up and went to work. And I feel the same when I get to sleep 6 or 7 hours.

I love to sleep, but I feel almost as bad as having a hangover if I sleep a lot. How much do you guys sleep??

Generally, about 5-6 hours a night. Every couple of weeks it will catch up with me, though, and I need to go to sleep at 10, which gives me 9 hours or so. But, in general, I don't go to sleep until sometime after midnight or 1:00 a.m., and then start waking up when my wife's alarm goes off (anywhere between 5 and 6, depending).

Real close to Aethien's schedule, but I'm up at least twice during the night.

Sleep, you know it don't come easy.

Typically, around 6 hours a day. I usually want more, but either I have to get up for work, or for whatever reason my body says I must be awake *now* on my nights off.

I blame working nights for 14+ years for messing up my sleep cycle. The world just doesn't work as well for people who work graveyard shift.

My roommate sleeps anywhere from 6 hours to 45 minutes. I have no idea how he does it.

I'm exactly like you, I've been known to hybernate in winter months and is able to sleep more than 24 hours if given the chance. Otherwise 4+ hours a night is a must.

Ain't that the frackin' truth. Glad those days are behind me.

I usually sleep around five to seven hours a night.

I have a weird sleep schedule. In total it amounts to be between 6 and 8 hours. Sometimes it's divided into two naps of 3-4 hours a piece separated by many hours in between, sometimes it's one whole thing.

I go to bed between 10PM and midnight every night...but it doesn't matter what time I go to bed, I'm awake between 3AM and 4AM every morning! I doze off and on until about 6:50AM...my alarm goes off at 7AM, just about the time I finally get back to real sleep!!

I'm variable; as long as I get 6 hours I'm pretty much ok, but I really need 9 to feel good. More than 10 though and it's almost like not getting enough.

There's such a thing as too much sleep, and this is the sign.

I find myself sleeping ~6 hours these days. I love sleep, and frequently wish I could sleep in more. Sometimes I let myself on the weekends (which usually involves getting near my weekday time and then going back to sleep), but then I feel tired and remember why I've given up sleeping in.

I spend 10 hours in bed for 6.5 hours of sleep time. I am chronically sleep deprived.

That too much sleep hangover I'm fairly convinced is actually the same cause as a hangover. Dehydration. If I do this I usually try to drink a couple of glasses of water, it helps pretty quickly.

Usually sleep 2am -> 8:30am

I lay down at 7 am...but I don't fall asleep until around 8:30 or 9. I wake up several times during my resting period. Get up at 4p,. Never feel rested ever. Well, that's not true. If I stay up for 30+ hours and then go to sleep, I usually feel rested after about 9-10 hours of sleep.

I average about 6 hours a night.

I go to bed at 10pm, get up between 5:30 and 6:30 depending on what's going on that day. Between taking 1-2 hours to fall asleep after I go to bed and multiple times waking up through the night I probably get about 3-4 hours of sleep a night (maybe less).

I get about 5.5-7 hrs and feel about right after 8.5.

I feel I need to sleep at least 7 hours a night to be 100% but I'm really averaging around 6. I'm working 40 hours a week, doing 14 credits in school, and working out 5-6 times a week. On 6 hours a night, I REALLY start feeling it by around Thursday evening. My workouts aren't as good and I feel slower, mentally.

My honest opinion is that we all need 8 hours of sleep a day. Maybe less if you don't get any exercise. We just get used to feeling like crap all the time we can get by on less.

I average about 6.5hrs a night. I think that is "close enough" for me. Perfect would be about 7 to 7.5hrs but I have a hard time going to bed too early in the evening.

Willpower, and an enjoyment of the sleep-deprivation experience. It's almost like a free drug sometimes.

Being well-rested after sleep is largely about whether you woke up at an interval between cycles or interrupted one. If your body's sleep pattern is based on a 3.5 hour cycle, you'll do well with 3.5, 7 or 10.5 hours of sleep. Get 6 or 8 and you'll probably wake up feeling like hell.

Generally, assuming you are sleeping *well* while you're asleep, you should not sleep less than 6 hours, or more than 9 hours, on a healthy schedule.

I sleep 5-8 hours on the weekdays, and on weekends when I have time off, I sleep about 9 hours.

Good! I am glad to see that I am not the only one with sleep issues. Do you see now Foamy, that sleeping can effect people no matter how much they get. So you can't get mad at me now for waking up at 5:30 and falling asleep on the couch at 8:30 that night.
Does anyone else have this problem? Sometimes my eyes start to hurt from staring at screens to long like my T.V., Computer, or IPod and that makes me close my eyes and sleep.
