How much do you sleep?

I sleep for aprox three hours a day for about three or four days. Then I crash for ten or twelve.

You?

  • I try to get at least 6 hours a day when I can. But sometimes when I'm testing a game that needs to be put in production? I'll stay up all night helping to tweak bugs and glitches and forget all about the time.

  • Six hours! That's pretty good
    I'd need some kind of pill if I wanted to sleep that long every day. But then I'd feel like a zombie the next day. 
    Thanks Mr R

  • Being a parent, I'm lucky I get 5 hours of sleep a night. That's why I'm happy most of mine have either day care or school during the day so I can take a nap the days I'm not working.

  • Our eldest is 8 and our youngest is 3, they're still pretty young, and we're expecting another child in March so, I'm trying my hardest to get more sleep in before he gets here.

  • I'm excited, it's just a lot of work and a huge balancing act, for both my wife and I, that's why I'm so grateful for our families helping.

  • Good for you Jeph. 
    I have to admit, I am not much of a baby's person. I understand the whole precious new life and all, but I tip my hat to you for being excited.
    Congratulations again, J.
    Good luck!!

  • Don't they say we are supposed to get at least eight? I wonder if that's just some made up number, 
    Six hours straight every night! No interruptions?

    I wear  Fitbit and over the last year I have averaged 5 hours and 20 minutes a night. Last night I did sleep for 7.5 hours, but that is only because I took a muscle relaxer before bed.

  • With my sleep issues I've tried everything and I have to say that muscle relaxers are my least desired fix. They leave me groggy and grouchy the next day for at least two or three hours after I get up. Sorta like an " I hate the world " feeling. Thanks Gator.

    Honestly, I only take half a pill or I am useless much of the next day. But I get weather related headaches and with the storms last night I had to do something to knock myself out. We were under tornado warnings from 7:30 until 9:00. (The watch was from 4:00 until 10:00) Thankfully nothing touched down, but my head was ready to explode. So a muscle relaxer and 3 ibuprofen finally got it down to a low enough roar that I got to sleep around midnight. If I didn't  have so much to do today, I would have taken the other half of the pill.

  • That's pretty good, I don't think I've ever slept that much on the regular. Maybe when I was a baby. Thanks Z.

    I go to bed somewhere around noon then wake up sometime before 8pm. Depends on how tired I am, sometimes I go to bed immediately after returning home from work in the early morning.

  • Oh man, evening shift. That is definitely a killer. I have problems shutting my brain down you know? Especially after work. Unless it's been too many days, then it shuts down on its own. )
    Thanks Patchouli.

  • Interesting how different people's sleep duration and patterns are.  I am an 8 hours a day person.. and on top of that I nap when i can... I seem to meet a lot of sleep, well see having such a sharp mind is very tiring :P

    It's always seemed a waste of time tho to me.. just think of all the things I could be doing.....

  • Eight hours a day plus naps!?
    What are you, an infant??  ;)
    I know what you mean. I always thought it would be nice if I never had to go to the bathroom, eat, or sleep.
    Then I could relax and do nothing longer. )
    Thanks Day.

  • I sleep for 7 hours on average. Sometimes it's less if I go to bed late and sometimes it's more on weekends.
