Hey guys, How many hours do you sleep a day? Don't count the siesta time ^_~ I'm not satisfied if I don't sleep 12hours, lol. I sleep a lot, or let's say too long? Sometimes I even sleep 14hours or more. I just don't know why, but if feels great hahaha. Someone ask me of something like, "Do I get headache/backache". Well sometimes I do, But mostly I don't that's why I looove to sleep ^_~ What about you guys? I know if you have a work, At least 8hrs is enough but what about when your free day? ^_~

I work 16 to 18 hours per day 7 days a week so I average 5 hours a night. It is not fun and I am always tired but I have a job, I have to work very hard and keep my wits about me, which is never easy, but one has to do what one has to do. And for the sake of argument I do not like having only this much sleep. In all honesty I do not see how you can hold down a full time job when yuo sleep that many hours and to me you seem to be sleeping your life away which seems like such a shame as there is so much life out there to be lived. ;)

I like to sleep in, but my body automatically wakes me up at a certain time, so it's hard for me to get more than the usual, regardless of how long I stay up at night. Usually I get 10 hours.

I don't sleep beyond 7 or 8 hours usually. I don't like to sleep longer than that, because I do wake up late in the morning and I don't like to have it later than 10:00 A.M. I sleep late at night, but I prefer waking up around 10:00. Beyond 10:00 A.M, I am start hating myself for it. But it's very very rare when I sleep up to 10 or 12 hours. It was happening once in between, when I was totally stressed out, and I was sleeping for around 12 to 15 hours a day for a week or more than a week. I just couldn't handle it those days. But I don't drag my sleep beyond 8 hours.

sleep - sleeping like baby
Hi there tyronie4cash!The number of hours I sleep depends on several factors. One would be whether or not I have to accomplish something until late at night and yet have to wake up early the next day. Another factor to consider is if I can sleep early and have the luxury of time the next day and so can sleep on extended hours. I practically get around 6 to 8 hours of sleep when I get lucky. During weekends and I do not get to do anything for instance, I can sleep for around 10 to 12 hours.

i used to sleep an average of 12 hours. but now, after about 6 - 8 hours of sleep, my body clock would just wake me up. but i'd still feel tired but just can't fall back into sleep.

Usually sleep about 6 hours or so. I feel like I need 10 though. On my days off, I will take a nap. Sometimes, I will even take a short nap before work.

Wow, 12-14 hrs? I wouldn't be able to move if I stayed in bed that long. I hurt all over if I lay down too long. I usually get about 6-7 hrs. That's probaly not enough but like I said, I can't lay down too long because of back problems.

I sleep about 5-8 hours most nights, but I would like to sleep much more! If I had my way, I would sleep 10+ hours, and my body can definitely handle 12 or more! I love to sleep, and especially love the feeling of falling asleep, right before completely being in a slumber!

I couldn't sleep more than 8 hours nowadays. I tried to sleep more, but under my mindset, I would think that is waste of time if I lay on my bed all day long. I love to be lazy, and laying around to do nothing, but I just couldn't let myself to do it anymore. I have do something, or learn something from the net, a book, or other sources. Especially I work too. I found it my time is less and less, and I just couldn't sleep longer than 8 hours.

I have very erratic sleeping patterns. I either sleep for 10 or more hours, or less than 6 hours. Not that long ago, I was watching one of those morning news programs, an expert said that 7.5 hours is ideal, any more can cause health issues, any less is not enough. It seems you and I are both "doomed". Oh, well, have a good day, and some good zzz's.

I sleep for eight hours a day.In the afternoons i have a nap of one hour.It really keeps my body relaxed and fresh.I can do work more efficiently with more energy.During my exam times i sleep for less hours.I know it is not good for the body because i study during last moments.

I only sleep 6 hours a night as I have to be up very early in order to fit everything into my days. I know it is not enough sleep and it may be affecting my health as I am tired most of the time. I am working on either getting up later or fitting a nap into my afternoons.

How do you have that much time to sleep?! I get about four hours a night. I work from eight fifteen to five fifteen, go to the gym until seven something, mylot and tv til eleven when my boyfriend gets off work then hang out til two or so. I love to sleep too but I am not used to it anymore so when I do get a chance to sleep in I usually only can get about six hours total, unfortunately.
