How many hours a night do you sleep?

[lartinos]

If you don't have to work the next day?
So many people tell me they can't sleep more than 7 hours, 8 max.
I need atleast 8 and can sleep ten easily.

 

[walliwalibus]

I take a sleeping pill til I get the machine, so I wake up and go back out every 5 to ten minutes. I just hope I get the machine before I die LOL hahahahaha. Yes it can kill you. Anyway, I lay in bed for about 8 to 9 hours, depending if I had a decent nights rest. I do wake up with a headache and kinda groggy but that's from lack of Oxygen. I NEED THE MACHINE! LOL.... ok

Discuss further.

If I cared enough, or had the motivation, I'd find that recent study that shows those who get 5-7 hours sleep per night are more productive, healthier, and happier than those who get 8-10 hours. Lately I've been in the 8 range, which may be why I have no desire to go find that article for you.

I'll vouch for this.....you live longer if you get about 7 hrs of sleep too.

 

[fistfullofsteel]

must be the quality of the sleep, IDK. But the study says what I thought.

 

[lartinos]

similar schedule for me, I always drag ass at work though. Caffeine just tweaks me and all around feel like shit.

yeah it's a vicious cycle
i should go to be earlier, i'm tired all day (after the am cofee wears off)
but i get home, eat and lift and i'm wide awake till at least midnight

 

[jnevin]

Before baby: 7-9
Now: 4-7

 

[HAYEZ]

5 hours usually

 

[Chrisco915]

I sleep maybe 5 hours in a row and might get 2 more before work each day.

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

I can sleep over 12 hours if I can sleep in. Usually because I only get 5-6 during the week.

I don't buy it. A study like that would have a damn hard time showing any type of causation. Ex: Many depressed people sleep all day because they're depressed. The depression isn't caused by sleeping too much, but rather a corollary. Most people need 7-8 hours. That's not to say more than that is better, just that that's roughly what most people should get.

 

[canadianhitman]

I tend to sleep no more than 8, unless I'm sick.

Tough, Dr. Chris already confirmed it.

Well, good to know his personal anecdotal evidence is authoritative.

You just don't care? or you're lazy from getting too much sleep?

I would say that your article is right and wrong.
It's not about the total hours of sell , it's about the hours of REM sleep.
REM sleep is deep sleep and high quality sleep which is rejuvenating to the body.

Many folks experience sleep apnea which is a loss of breathing during sleep and the body has to wake you up in order to restore breathing. That's probably the biggest drawback to quality sleep

Sleeping 8 hours and tossing all night is not quality sleep. Those people probably do wake up tired. Sleeping 6-7 doesn't mean it's quality sleep either.

Good, good. Someone who doesn't care enough to support their claims (which fly in the face of established science, no less) expects said claims to be trusted prima facie. As long as we understand each other.

BTW - Less than a minute on google turned up this study that disagrees with you.

You make a decent point, however, it's not as if some people can magically get sufficient REM sleep in < 5 hours and some people won't get sufficient REM if they don't sleep > 10 hours. REM sleep always follows periods of non-REM sleep (the sleep "cycle"), and a person has to hit enough cycles to get sufficient rest. While that can vary from person person, but it won't vary that much.

There are probably 20 studies on teh interwebs that disagree with me. Somehow that again doesnt make me care......

 

[fistfullofsteel]

i've read in many health magazines that you should actually get 9 hours for optimum rest.

Then why bother posting if you "don't care"? You cared enough to post your "expert opinion"....I'd think you'd care enough to expand upon your thoughts. Whatever....'twas nice "discussing" the subject with you.

 

[javaguru]

I can rest when I'm dead...sleep is overrated.

[seaking420]

Lately I sleep 4-5 hours a day with an hour nap in the middle of the day. Ideally I would like to get 7 hours a day
