How much have you slept lately?

[ed629]

In the last 4 weeks, I've averaged around 4 hours of a sleep a night. Sometimes as little as 2 hours, and up to 6 (just once in the last month). All told, most of the time I've been sleeping around 4 hours a night. It's finally starting to take toll on me, I keep seeing things moving just at my peripheral vision. I keep nodding off, and my vision also jumps. It's sort of like watching a movie with random from cut out every few seconds. I can be watching someone walk, and suddenly they're a step or so ahead of where they were a moment before.

Are you doing this voluntarily?

I sleep 8-9 hours every night.

I sleep 8-9 hours every night.

Not really, my current schedule is keeping me this busy. Up at 5 or 6am, home between 10pm and midnight. Asleep by 2am or later.

I always try to get in 8 hours. If I've exercised during the day I find 9 is a bit better. It sucks though becasue I have to be asleep by 10:00 to get my 8 hours.

 

[boco]

About 5-6 h

I've never slept well, since I was a little kid. I rarely get more than 6 hours, even on weekends. And I never get multiple hours of uninterrupted sleep; I typically wake up about every hour or so during the night. I "voted" for an average of 5 hours, though I think it's probably less than that, if I were able to quantify actual minutes I was truly asleep. It gets old.

 

[iguana_tonante]

I average around 6 hours.

I just don't like sleeping. It feels like wasted time to me. I usually go to bed around 2-3 am (or pretty much when I collapse), and I wake up at 8 am. When I'm on a deadline I can sleep for 3-4 hours a day, but I cannot hold it for long (few days at most). Once in a while (once a month or so), when I feel I'm getting really tired, I sleep for like 12 hours straight. My sleep pattern sucks.

That's about normal for someone who's operating with a sleep deficit.

I average about three hours a night. Every once in a while, I may get lucky and get about five (I haven't slept longer than five in twenty years)...

 

[Gul Re'jal]

5-6 hours, and voted for 6.

Being away for 12 hours a day (so half a day taken by work), I feel like wasting my life on sleeping, so I go to bed late (around 1 am) and get up 6:45 each weekday morning.

I started to experience that "movement in peripheral vision" recently, but had no idea it could be related to lack of sleep.

 

[Deranged Nasat]

I don't fall asleep easily, although once I'm in, I usually stay in (or if I need trips to the bathroom, I can usually slip back under without problem upon my return). Actually getting off to sleep in the first place is difficult, though. I often have to wait until I just "collapse". I suppose about five hours is normal. I probably need more, but I try to get up early rather than lying in, no matter what I have to do that day. I feel more refreshed getting up at seven than at nine, say, even if I only fell asleep at three.

 

[iguana_tonante]

Waking up at seven makes me feel like shit, whenever I fell asleep at at sundown or just a few hours before. Morning sucks.

 

[boco]

Try to wake up at 4 or 5 am,like I do every day...

 

[ares93]

I've been sleeping four hours a night for the last three years. No issues. I gotten so used to it that i cant sleep more even if i have the time.

Have your eyes checked. Had the same problem. Turned out i needed glasses.

I get up around 5 and 6am, for a couple years I was getting up at 3am 6 days a week for 3 weeks, then 5 days a week for 1 week. And not getting home until 6pm or later.

 

[boco]

Sometimes i start work at 5am..in that case I get up at 3:45...

 

[JayOwl]

I voted 7 hours, but recently I've been down to 6. I'm rather busy at the moment.
The good thing is, on weekends I usually up it to 8, 9 or even 10, so it all evens out.

 

[Kirkman1987]

almost always 8, although oftentimes That's from two 4 hour sleeping sessions, or six hours and a nap later in the day.

 

[Amaris]

3-4 hours, but sometimes a little more, so I put 5 hours.

 

[Ethros]

If I have to work in the morning probably about 6-7, but on my days off and have nothing planned then about 9,10 maybe even 11 hours.

I should really find a balance I suppose, but I really can't go to bed/sleep before midnight no matter what time I have to get up, and then on a day off its really hard to get out of my lovely warm on a morning if I don't really have anything to do or anywhere to go per se


Some friends can't believe I can sleep for that long, but even at 27, I've never really grown out of that "big sleep in" syndrome you get as a teenager

 

[Captain Shaw]

Because I work days, nights and afters my sleep patten is all over the place.
Sometimes I get just over 4hrs other times I get far to much sleep.
Last time I came off night's I went to bed at 6.30am and got up at 7.30pm then went back to bed at 2am.
