You must get 7 hours sleep a night or you will die

[Cian]

Haven't you seen those signs by the side of the Motorway saying " tiredness can kill "

What if you don't -get- tired on 5 hours sleep

you are either very lucky or Margaret Thatcher

...or completely reliant on stimulants *caffeine jitters*

I don't think I can get more than 5 hours of consecutive sleep. I go to bed around 11 pm and my body always wakes me up at 3 am. Not sure why or how to stop this. It is really annoying, as although I do eventually get back to sleep I'm a zombie for the rest of the day!

After 30 years of shift work I have absolutely no idea what regular sleep is!

 

[Franks Wild Years]

Last night I woke myself up laughing. I was dreaming there was a big fat bloke stuck in my bedroom door and every time the wind blew his legs flew up and flapped around.
I couldnt stop chuckling.

A nice fat spliff might help all you insomniacs. No tobacco mind you.......... thats unhealthy.

 

[ali jenkins]

Depending on when i start work i get between 4/5 hours (5am wake up call) and 8/9 (wake up whenever)

I hate shift work though as i cant remember the last time i ate at the same time for 2 days running!

 

[Dr Q]

Probably 6 - 7 ish, up at 6 to take the dogs out, dependant therefore when I got to bed, but rarely before 11.30pm.

I'm trying a new regime this week as it happens. Normally I go to bed about midnight and get up around 5.45 and I'm shattered all day. This week I am going to bed at 10pm and reading for half an hour before sleep. Two days in and I feel better already.

is this all in one go> find an afternoon nap does wonders, if having to work late.

Dunno how anyone can do that. I'd murder someone if I went more then one night with that little sleep.

I'm fine on 8-9 hours but any less and it's mood swings and a mouth full of ulcers the next day, laaaaverly. Thank the Lawd for Nytol.

Yes, that's the one I was looking for.

How the hell can a 2 year-old be looking to play games at 3.30 in the morning?

Got to nip that in the bud really quick smart! We're lucky I suppose, although I did put in the hard yards when he was little, he was 2 last weekend and since he was about 6 months old has gone 7:30pm til 7am (there or there abouts)....so we go to bed around 10:30pm and get up when he stands up in his cot shouting "Daaaaday car go Daaaaaadaaaaaay!!" (usually around 7am)

No, I suffer from bad luck with my sleep cycle!

 

[The Clown of Pevensey Bay]

I work three 11-hour night shifts every two and a half weeks (have done for two years). According to various bits of science I have read, my life will be shorter by up to four years if I keep doing this.

Often manage 8 hours during the day, in between them, though; which is more than I get when I'm working during the day and sleeping at night!

I often get better sleep when i'm working night shift as well, We only work an 8 hour night but we do a full week of it every 5 weeks.

Whats your diet like, usually that has something to do with it... I wouldn't turn the telly on to be honest either - it isn't good for inducing sleep...
