How much Sleep?

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

Just curious how much you normal get on a weekday. And do you crave it on the weekends?

I need 8 hours a night. But lately I haven't been getting it. By the time sunday comes around I just wanna get up eat, and go back to bed. I luuuvv sleep.

Also who has NFL Ticket? I wanna get it but, then I won't be able to sleep at all that day.

 

[needleboy]

5 or 6 hours max. Insomnia is kicking my ass, the worst I've had on a cycle since I was 19. God I wish GHB was still legal, great for insomnia!!!!

 

[WODIN]

Do you work for a marketing company ? I get the feeling you are using this as a feed back group.

I don't need sunday ticket, I get Four different sets of LOCAL channels Baltimore, Washington, Hagerstown, and Philly which give me up to 7 - 9 games on sunday. Oooga....chaca!!!!

 

[big4life]

I don't have normal days, I work rotating shifts.

On days I'm working midnights, I'm lucky to
get 5 hours sleep.

 

[Freak Show]

In my next life, I want to be reincarnated as Shagwell's comforter!
I need at least 6. Any less and I gotta take a nap during the day. Absolutely love naps, but I don't always have time. Unfortunately, I don't regularly get 6 hours per night.

Your on a cycle, yet can't use GHB because its illegal?...am I missing someting here??

 

[needleboy]

All the GHB around here is shit. They have busted several people manufacturing it in their garages!! Not very safe or sanitary!!!

I ordered some GH3 from TN, it should be here soon.

I'd rather not ingest a potentially fatal drug mixed in a paint bucket by some raver freak!!! Big diff between using gear, and drinking paint thinner(or in this case cleaning chemicals!!)

I luvv my comfortable. I love my king size bed, goose down soft pillows, got my little water fall fountain lulling me to sleep. DAMN...I wish I was home sleeping now Bet my dog is sleeping in there right now...little Bitch.

 

[Steroid_Virgin]

I have NFL game day ticket.. football is the only reason i get excited anymore...

i dont sleep much either... im going to get a script for something to help me sleep from dr. feelgood..

 

[Weapon X]

I need 9 hours of sleep per night, but of course, I almost never get that much.
When I was in my early 20s, I would get by on about 5 hours per night, but I was always operating at a deficit and would sleep 14 hours a night on weekends to make it up.

 

[manny78]

with 6 hours I'm ok (sometimes 4 hours when working nite shifts) but of course the more I sleep the better it is........

 

[MommaKin]

I just came here to polute your thread, Shags

 

[theoak01]

i get 6-7 i havent been sleeping well and im always drained,its so damn hard to work/goto school/workout/do homework/eat

and im gonna try to play football this year

i get 6-7 i havent been sleeping well and im always drained,its so damn hard to work/goto school/workout/do homework/eat

and im gonna try to play football this year

I'm in the same fucking ship. Hockey starts soon and then come the week before Thanksgiving my ass is up at 5am in work at 6am-6pm-ish on Saturday and Sunday. So getting up at 7am during the week feels like I get to sleep in.

I was gonna do football, but starting as a senior would gaurentee me seeing no time b/c the coach already has his favorites picked out. Also I play hockey, work, lift, g/f, ect., but I'm not allowed to play spring league hockey due to me being 18 by then, so I'm gonna go for baseball. Coaches don't care who you are, and how long you've been playing and long as you can field, catch, and hit the long ball. Chicks dig the long ball.

 

[toga22]

Right now I am working graveyard shift...5:30 p.m-6:00am. 4 days a week, tech aerobics 3-5 hours a day, go to school 4 hours a day, and my own workout to boot. So in short, I get anywhere from 2 1/2 - 4 hours a sleep a day.

What the key to not feeling tired? Breaking my sleep into power naps and always keep moving!!! If I sit down....I am sleeping.

But you know what they say..."If you never slow down, you never grow old!!"

 

[theoak01]

if work will let me start later i will try out but unless im starting thats it i wont play why waste 50 bones on a jersey when ill be sitting,we dont have basebally up here only football,volleyball,rugby,basketball,rugby and football are the only decent ones

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

I just came here to polute your thread, Shags

ahhh its the haunting ass!!!!!!..... But the waveyign smiles make up for it

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

But you know what they say..."If you never slow down, you never grow old!!"

Thats because those people die at a young age. 2.5-4 hours of sleep??!! Your cortisol levels must be through the roof.

With my scehdule 6 is usually the best I can do. So when I have a day off...I try to make some of it up. But that never works. I wish that sleep wasn't so important...takes too much time.

 

[Frackal]

8.5-9.5...any less and I feel like shit. I don't like feeling like shit.

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

8.5-9.5...any less and I feel like shit. I don't like feeling like shit.

Frackal, I'd love to get that. How do you manage that with work lifting, and (do you do cardio)?

 

[bambam]

agent shagwell i'm the same way. When I am on gear, I need 10 hours of sleep. I am always extremely tired I'm assuming its due to the accelerated growth process consuming so much energy. Otherwise, I need 8 hours to feel refreshed.

 

[danielson]

on hols (3 weeks left ) 10 hrs if not more

uni days - 6 maybe more meaybe less but usually 6

 

[HelenSL]

Thanks for starting this thread AS...it's very interesting...people think I'm ill because I have slept only about 4 1/2-6, most nights for about a year now.

It doesn't seem fair to me that if I sleep that little I am considered mentally ill

However it is true that I feel like I'd feel better if I got a bit more sleep so I do consider myself to have somewhat of an ongoing sleep problem...

Before this I was sleeping about 7 on average.

I'd say I feel quite good if I get 6-7 but often I wake up and can't go back to sleep, before I have slept 6.

I love to nap during the day, really helps, but I rarely manage to structure my time to do that...

I'm surprised how many other people sleep 6 hours or less...interesting.

love
helen

p.s. danielson the US colleges started already, a week or two ago...wait until you get a job and don't even HAVE those summer holidays...talk about !!!! Can you believe Americans get only two weeks holiday a year, until they've worked for years, usually???

dont have to wait until i have a job.....

in a years time if my course goes well ill only have 4 weeks holiday for the entire year, 1 on xmas, 1 easter and 2 summer.....that includes any revision time.....

when i leave uni in 6-7 years time ill be working long hours...at midnight mostly and be being treated like shit by consultants on a power trip.

having said that 2 weeks holiday really sucks ass

 

[dballer]

DBaller does not like alot of sleep. DBaller does not get much sleep. It makes him crazy.

 

[AziaReign]

I like to get in at least 6 hours of sleep. If I sleep too little, after awhile, it tears me down physically!

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

dballer likes to talk about him self in the third person. Most women don't find that as a good thing. Perhahps dballer should stop speaking of himself as a deity to get more ladies......short stops.

d baller.....have you tried asking the short stop out?

 

[dballer]

DBaller failed mission.

Agent....
there is no shortstop. Dballer does not have a shortstop to ask out. There is this girl that works in the office with DBaller... but she stands DBaller up ALOT!!!! (6 out of 10 times)

any good advice? Maybe DBaller could fall in love with someone on the board and have them move in with him......??????


(are you laughing at this yet?)

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

Oh dballer need to learn a valuable lesson: Once stood up, move on. Disrespect does not love make.......or something like that. Dballer would be better off asking out one who has not stood him up

Agent Shagwell leaves you with this thought.......there's something I want to say that's always been very difficult for me to say. [pause] "I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit." There. I've never been relaxed enough around anyone to say that.

i get about 7.5 so i put 6-7,

thats wrong! 7.5 doesn't fall between 6-7 now does it? When dealing with decimal points we round up from 5 and above. Isn't that mathmatical law?

peace

 

[Ingram]

10-12

 

[dballer]

Cut your sleep hours and get another job... you will make much more money.

 

[big4life]

I know I'm taking it out of context,
but still that comment makes me
think of something else.

I'm being bad.

Not necessarily. If his approximation of his average sleep time is only significant to one digit then he would round the 7.5 DOWN to 7
I'm probably wrong, but nobody reads my posts anyways

QUICK! Shagwell sells seashells by the seashore..3 TIMES FAST!

 

[HumanShell]

I get about 6. Lately, I've been able to get 8 a few nights. I make sure to get my rest though, even on weekends. I don't really go party, unless it's a special occasion. I go to bed at about 8:30-9.

Ahh fine sir, you are wrong on both points of argument. One, I do read your posts, and 2, based on the options given, we are not including the tens place as a significat digit. The siginificat digits are whole numbers,no decimals are to be permited. Hence, by refering to common mathmatical laws, digits in the tens place equaling 5 and up are rounded up. While digits 4 and below are rounded down.

OK-I looked it up, you're partially wrong....7.5 would be rounded up to 8-the convention is that odd numbers ahead of a 5 are to be rounded UPWARD. Conversely, even numbers before a 5 to be rounded are rounded DOWNWARD (i.e. 8.5 rounds to 8) According to the convention in this textbook, there are indeed some instances (odd vs. even) where numbers are rounded down when ended by a 5 in the last decimal place.


Let's tally up the numbers. I was wrong TWICE..you were wrong TWO TIMES PLUS A FRACTION (the fraction being greater than .5 so you can't round it down) ergo...I WIN!

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

lol....your think your smart md guy huh. Well you may be right on that. However, I never except defeat easily, and I NEVER lose. So I consulted with "THE MATH LEAGUE"....hehehe, here's what they said:

Rounding a Fraction to the Nearest Hundredth: (this also spplys to rounding to the nearest whole number)

Divide to the thousandths place. If the last digit is less than 5, drop it. This is particularly useful for converting a fraction to a percent, if we want to convert to the nearest percent.

1/3 = 1 ÷ 3 = 0.333… which rounds to 0.33

If the last digit is 5 or greater, drop it and round up.

2/7 = 2 ÷ 7 = 0.285 which rounds to 0.29


If you doubt me, which you would be silly to do in any circumstance, (and that would just make you wrong again, which how many times can you possibly be wrong before you start to feel bad, I don't want that), refer to www.mathleague.com

I may be blonde, I may like my black leather boots, but i can be a nerd with the best of them

 

[WODIN]

Isn't that black leather boots? Or are you a really kinky thang girl?

 

[Super Girl 22]

i'm lucky if i get 4-5 hours a night during the week. i honestly dont know how i function everyday on such little sleep. but when the weekend rolls around, all i wanna do is stay in bed (thats only when the suns not out cause i'm on the beach all day long!)

 

[Mdguy]

lol....your think your smart md guy huh. Well you may be right on that. However, I BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH

ZZZZ sorry, I kind of dozed off there-I think I need some sleep *roll of eyes*

Oh omnipotent one (bowing to your greatness as I type), the one adage I have learned in my life on this earth is to never doubt a woman who thinks she is right, because it is usually ends up being a lost cause. However, I will take exception to this rule this ONE time, due to the fact that I'm not quite sure that you're a woman nor illogical like one

First of all, I don't care what a bunch of disgruntled, ruffian academic type-mathematicians think over the internet; I would recommend you use some real sources, such as print media. They say 2/7 =.285 that is wrong!!! 2/7 =.2857142 which is closer to .286 than .285 and would be rounded up as they say anyways. BUT it seems like they rounded after rounding, which creates more error in the end (to anything practical needed to a precise accuracy this is horrible)-a major faux pas for them and hence, their lack of credibility
I searched the vast mathematics library here and hereby cite the following source:
Gellert, W., et. al."The VNR Concise Encyclopedia of Mathematics"Van Nostrand Reinhold Company.1975.p609

Under the topic Rounding Off reads the following: "A usual method of curtailing decimal places is by rounding off. In this the last digit retained in unchanged, as in the method of truncating, if it is followed by a 0,1,2,3, or 4 (rounding down) The last digit retained is increased by 1, however, if it is immediately followed by a 5,6,7, 8, or 9 (rounding up) ................... my note: yes, you are indeed correct, however let's read on Only in the case for which the first digit neglected is a 5 followed by zeros is the rounding error exactly equal to half of a unit of the order of the last digit retained. It is customary in this case to round in such a way that the last digit retained is even please read carefully For example 1/8= 0.12500 would be rounded
to 0.12 but 7/40 = 0.175 to 0.18"

OK, so what does this mean oh blonde-black booted one? Well, in your poll I will conceed that the accuracy in the tenths place of any answer is questionable and should be rounded as to your convention, however, my point all along is that if the answer is EXACTLY .5 --- well .5 followed by any amount of zeros--- that in some cases it should be rounded downward and think I have proved my point satisfactorily....

Since you NEVER lose, I won't tarnish your record and rub it in your face since I am always the gentleman....

....BUT I will graciously offer you the opportunity for a STALEMATE in this matter if you wish....hell, why not let's just make it a regular MATE while we're at it? *slavering*

 

[Frackal]

Frackal, I'd love to get that. How do you manage that with work lifting, and (do you do cardio)?

Well I set up my life so that I have a large amount of personal freedom, of course it also helps to still live at home. (Frackal just turned 19)

If I can help it, I will never be confined to some 9-5 job.

My primary job requires me to work at least 10 hours every 2 weeks from home, but I can work whenever I feel like, 24 hours of any day of the week.

Because I was not able to get a car in time, I'm also taking online English and possibly online Philosophy for college...so I spend a lot of time at home, and I do not go out and stay out late at all.

I have found that my optimal clock is waking at 11am, and going to sleep at 2am. That of course is not always possible, but I manage to normally get no less than 8.5 hours of sleep.

I do lift, and do cardio as well, both appx 2.5-3.5 hours after waking.

 

[AGENT SHAGWELL]

B] my note: yes, you are indeed correct, however let's read on

however, my point all along is that if the answer is EXACTLY .5 --- well .5 followed by any amount of zeros--- that in some cases it should be rounded downward and think I have proved my point satisfactorily....

[/B]

After reviewing your jibber jabber, I have found 2 key points.

First and formost..............I AM RIGHT

Second....I stated in a previous post that the significat digit is the nearest whole number. Hence making all decimal places, including the tenths place not applicable. Therefore rounding would be required to obtain the nearst whole number. Which would cause us to revert to the rule of rounding to the nearest whole number. Which states 5 and up, rounds up to the nearest whole number while, 4 and below rounds down.

Thus bringing us back to rule number one......I AM RIGHT

[cman]

Only need about 6 or 7. Plus ephedrine and caffeine wake me up during the night more than i'd like.

 

[Night Fly]

I need at least 6. Any less and I gotta take a nap during the day. Absolutely love naps, but I don't always have time. Unfortunately, I don't regularly get 6 hours per night.

I am the exact same way! Wish I could get more regular sleep, but being a night owl, it never happens.

 

[i2brew]

Sure wish I could always get 8 hours, but I get by with 6 - 7 and am bad off when it's less than 6.

 

[Saizen]

weekdays I get close to 9. On the weekends close to 10. My life revolves around lifting so sleep is essential in order to grow, grow, grow

 

[njmuscle]

Between training in the morning (get to the gym at 5AM), 2 1/2 to 3 hours commute, 9-10 hour work days, etc., I'm doing good to get 5 - 5.5 hours/night on weeknights, and sometimes a half-hour nap on the train on the way to work in the morning. Sucks, but the alternative is to live in Manhattan, have almost no commute, and still not get any sleep 'cause I'm such a light sleeper that almost anything wakes me up. Wish I'd gotten into BB back in college when I had pretty much all the time in the world...

 

[Lao Tzu]

i need 8.



weird thing about sleep is you can fuck with your levels.

for example, if you take antipsychotic medications, you will need 16-18 hours sleep a night.

however, if you combine serotonin increasing drugs (5htp & DXM were my choices, by accident entirely) you will only need 1 hour a day.

i wouldn't recommend giving yourself serotonin syndrome just for the lack of need for sleep. but when i had it i only needed 1 hour sleep a day & i didn't feel tired (serotonin syndrome makes you go into REM while you are awake, i think. so you don't need sleep).

 

[DcupSheepNipples]

one to three! What can I say I'm a freak!

 

[The Whole F/N Show]

I'm 7-8 but since it's closer to 7 than 8 I picked 6-7. I'm pretty lucky with the hours I work. I usually get all the sleep I need.

 

[studly1]

10 hours
