How long do you usually sleep for?

[Artois]

I find it hard to get to sleep some evenings and then have to get up for work feeling like a complete zombie.

I can have anywhere from 5 hours upto 8 hours sleep but it never seems to be enough.

How many hours do you need to sleep for to feel bright and refreshed the next morning?

 

[CHAPPERS]

I never feel too bright in the morning but after about 8 i'll feel okay. Had about 6 and a half last night and feel like a right **** this morning, lots of coffee seems to perk me up though.

 

[Turkey]

I had 17 hours the night before last. Proper sleep as well. Not just being lazy and lying there.

 

[Marc]

usually go to sleep about midnight, get in total about 7-8 hours a night I reckon. Sometimes more if I have a lie in on a weekend.

 

[Braders]

8 hours but usually only get 4/5 !

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

8 is the bare minimum to wake up feeling alright, but I usally get 5-6 so I always, always feel shit first thing.

 

[Beach Hut]

Same here around 5 or 6 hours but can catch up on train journey.

 

[Yorkie]

About 5 hours a night

 

[coach03]

I need about 8 a night on a regular basis.......but sitting here posting isn't going to get me the hours ! Also, I'll sit up and watch any football I can on TV and if there's none on, I'll read Ceefax for my footie fix !

 

[Curious Orange]

Still getting used to waking up at a regular hour again for work, but I find 7 or 8 hours is usually enough. Although the next couple of weeks could be a pain as one of my housemates is on earlies so his alarm is going off at about half 6.

 

[brighton rock]

7 or 8 hours please

 

[Kirsty]

i hardly sleep at all, the most i get is about 3-4 hours and it makes me feel so shit. i have tried going to bed early but i just end up lying in bed tossing and turning and failing to sleep, so i dont bother now. i just crawl into bed when i cant keep my eyes open anymore! its hell in the morning thou cos i feel like i cant physically get out of bed, cos im so tired. i have to roll myself over until i fall out and the shock wakes me up!

 

[Sam]

dont need much at all, about 5 a night, but as im gettin older i need less and less! soon ill b like tony blair on 3 and a half to 4 hrs a night! argghhhh!

 

[pasty]

Not enough - Anyone know any good cures for insomnia other than hanging around on NSC at 0146 ?

 

[Sam]

no, what about for cures of hanging around NSC at 0158

 

[Exiled in Exeter]

I usually get around 5-6 hours sleep a night.

 

[Withdean and I]

I definately need 8 hours min or I'm crap the following day.
Was down to six last night and should have gone to bed early tonight, but decided to eat stupidly hot curry and mucho lager and am now stuffed.
Oh well.

 

[JEM]

When I was about 18 I could get away with 3-4 hours or less and had even been in to work with no sleep whatsoever. I felt totally shit though.

Now I average about 5-6 hours during the week and still still feel pretty bright. I can do about 10 hours at the weekends, though.

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

i always end up getting up for a piss between 4-6.is this normal?

 

[JEM]

If it's only one piss, yes.

If it's ten or more, you've got bladder or prostate problems.
