POLL:Are you getting your 8 hours of sleep?

Johnny Swallow · Oct 5, 2001

No. I got 3 or 4 the past 2 nights, I want to die. At least I wouldn't have to hear that frickin' alarm again.

Sleep?? I prefer to stay awake until I'm delusional and hallucinating. It's much more fun than my real life!

It's great, isn't it? I only do it in the summer though. Right now I'm getting about 6 and a half hours of sleep. 7 and over I tend to be more tired when I wake then when I went to sleep.

Johnny:

I wish I could tell you that things will get better, but alas....

I don't have a family now (just my "puppy" - an overgrown 8 year old Dalmatian), but sleep just becomes more elusive and luxurious as you mature.

I went on a week-long business trip to Spain. It was a scientific conference where I presented data that my group and I had gathered. While the trip sounds exotic, it was a lot of work and little sleep was obtained. I often had to grab a few hours sleep in the afternoon in order to accomplish all that I had to in the mornings and evenings. Twice in the past week I didn't sleep for a full 25 hours and one night I slept only about 4 hours.

It all depends on your career and family. I don't have a family now, so I often recoup my sleep losses - due to my career - on the weekends. If I did have a family, I would just have to adapt to having 4-6 hours of sleep a day.

So enjoy what sleep you do get now, because from my own experience, it doesn't get better.

Congratulations on quitting! Hope it works out for you!

I got less than 8 hours of sleep last night but I usually sleep at least eight, unless I have a horrible time getting to sleep, which does happen. And whether I get more or less than eight hours, I'm usually exhausted. I think that I'm usually sleeping either too much or too little.

Sleeping rules.

I think I would do it all day long if I could.

Although the question should be: are you getting less sleep for a good reason?

Foxxern · Oct 5, 2001

Foxxern no function well sleep without.

No sleep here. Not counting last night, I think I've had a total of 8 hours of sleep in the previous 3 days. But usually I get around 5-6 hours a night, except on weekends when I try to make up that lost sleep. Mmmm, waking up at 2 PM on Saturday.

bonovista · Oct 5, 2001

Well...I have to admit..
Paul and I hardly sleep..

Hewson · Oct 5, 2001

Probably average 6-6.5 hrs during the week. Try to get 8 on weekends.
If you can't get 8 a night, a power nap during the day can help(JFK was a big proponent of these, and Reagan was known to take them inadvertently during national security meetings

). Of course nodding off at my desk doesn't reflect well, so my napping days ended when college did.

I guess my average is 5.5 to 6.5...
Not bad, but should be better...
In college I got about 4 to 5...

ZOOTB · Oct 5, 2001

Yep, 8 to 9 hours every nite..thanks for asking..

socalu2fan · Oct 5, 2001

In college its expected not to get too much sleep but I was hoping that someday after I graduated that I would start getting more again but frankly your little updates, they make me sad.

bullet the blue sky · Oct 5, 2001

haha in college i thought all people did was sleep all day and go out at night

when you "grow up" (ie get a proper job) you rarely sleep more than 7 or 8 hours. and god help you when you get kids

Sleep has been impossible for me the past few weeks. I've been going to bed at 2 and waking up at 7 or 8 to read (and I read late at night). Too much reading to do. And I must be gettng old, because I can't sleep in on weekends anymore! Last night I actually got to bed at 12:30, then I woke up today at 6!!!!!!!!

Finally I got tired again and decided to take a nap before my 9:30...I just ended up sleeping through my alarm and missed class. I woke up at 12:30 which was nice.

Sicy, I quit smoking on Feb 1st after 7 years! I stil don't know how I've done it. It's been a rough week though and I've been getting bad cravings again.

tiny dancer · Oct 5, 2001

During the week I'm lucky if I get 6 hours of sleep. On the weekends I try to make up for it be at least 8 hours.

~LadyLemon~ · Oct 5, 2001

Mikal, drunken sleep is the worst kind. You don't really sleep, you just pass out.

Is that why I wake up with headaches?

~LadyLemon~ · Oct 5, 2001

When you pas out, you don't get the beneficial REM sleep. I've read somewhere what causes the headaches, but I can't remember what causes it.

Well I'll be drinking a bottle of wine tonight. That's guaranteed crappy night of sleep!
