Sleep Deprivation

Macawmoses · May 06, 2009, 06:44:02 PM

Bit of an overabused topic, but hey.

Do you regularly get your minimum of 6-6.5 hours of sleep...or the recommended 10? I rarely get 10, but usually I get the bare minimum. Lately though I've had some serious sleep issues - can hardly get 3, and it really sucks.

How long do you sleep?

Depends if I take my sleep medicine. If I do then I can sleep for 8 - 12 hours(Helz yeah) and if I don't it's an uncomfortable 3 - 5.

I get around 5-6.5 hours of sleep.
Most of the time it's 5. It sucks, I have sometimes have a hard time falling asleep sometimes.
When that happens, I'll be laying in bed for three hours before I finally fall asleep. The next day, I feel like utter poop. ;-;

Um, it varies. Last night I think I got maybe 2 hours of sleep, and then I fell asleep for 4 hours in the afternoon.
Normally I go to bed around 12:30 or 1, wake up at 10:30 or 11:00...if I don't have class in the morning.

7 on weekdays, about.

I tend to not sleep enough during the weekdays.

Or I sleep too much.

I usually get 6 hours of sleep, but if I want to play my DS late, I don't.

The recommendation is 10 hours?! I've been getting by with just 6 since 8th grade! I am feeling more tired this week, but only because I've been up later than usual.

10 for people still developing...meaning males until 21 or so. Then it drops to 8ish.

I've had some SERIOUS sleep issues lately. I usually get around 7-8 hours a day, which is fine. But the bad part is I only sleep 4-5 hours at night, come home tired, and then have to sleep 2-3 hours. So I waste alot of the day.

I got 45 min of sleep Sunday night, five Monday night, and two last night. So I got the recommended for one day in three days. :)

I get 5-6 hours... It sucks to be honest. I want more but I can't afford that right now, unless I make some sacrifices...
I SHOULD be in bed right now. :D

Sounds a lot like me. I end up taking naps after school :\

I get 4 hours of sleep a day.

12 on the weekends to make it up :P

I average out 7-8 hours when I go to sleep at normal times. If I stay awake for most of the night I will sleep for 8-10 hours, unless I have plans that day, then it varies.

I don't sleep. I hibernate.
