    We all know that sleeping keeps our body strong and pushing itself to the limit.
    So how much sleep do you get?

    I am a die-hard you-need-your-sleep-for-optimum-health guy, but the problem is I have trouble sleeping. My mind is always going a million miles per minute, thinking about things, worrying about things, and just goes so many different directions. I stress easily and have trouble relieving it... so I basically get little sleep.

    When I can get sleep, I aim for 8+ hours per night. No lights, no TV, no sound (i.e., no distractions for the brain while resting). :)

    I also have one of those minds that is going a million miles-per-hour and I have a hard time going to sleep.

    Lately I've been having an issue that when I wake up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night my brain starts flying again and I have troubles falling asleep again (and sometimes I don't).

    i didnt tonight-went to bed at 4am, i was talking to my friend online, ad lost track of time, and then my mum wakes me at 12, so i can look after my little brother while she goes to the shop.

    one thing that really suprises me is that he was on the forum this morning, first post, 9:37am :eek: how can people survive on that little sleep and still be somewhat alive

    Hmm, well, there used to be a time(when I first got the internet) in which I only sleepy 3-4 hours every 2-3 days. But that quickly deteriorated me and I started having a strange sleeping schedule. At the moment, my sleeping schedule is f*cked up, so I need to see if I can last till 9pm(I will start to be REALLY sleepy at 12pm or 1pm) and fix up my schedule.

    I do that from time to time when my schedule is messed up.

    Mark gets mad at me when I do, but it's about the only way. :(

    I'm always on a messed up schedule. By nature I'm a night person so I'm good with being up until 4-5 AM then going to bed until 2 or 3 PM unfortunately the rest of life is on a day schedule so I switch back and fourth. Just back on a day schedule today, stayed up until 11p yesterday and woke up at 7. Let's see how long this lasts. :D

    Other than that I always sleep pretty well normal 10 hours at a clip.

    Farm Town nearly killed me. I banned myself from facebook. :D

    I average 3-4 hours a sleep per 24 hours. Have done for many years now, I'm a very light sleeper so the slightest bit of noise and I'll be woken up and can't get back to sleep.

    I can't remember the last time I slept for 6 consecutive hours. Between work, the internet, school and kids, sleep is just a dream. :)

    I haven't slept well in years. Like Shelley I'm a very light sleeper and the least bit of noise jars me awake. Once I'm awake, forget sleep.

    I average 3 - 4 hours - 5 if I'm really lucky or really exhausted - per night. I achieve that by taking Tylenol PM and wearing ear plugs. :)

    I need 7-8 hours of sleeping, but hardly get them. When I´m at home from work, only 2-3 hours are left until a reasonable bedtime. But this amount is running incredibly fast, so I tend to overstrapasize it with the consequence of getting not enough sleep. The weekends are my friends... :)

    If you can´t fall asleep within roundabout 10-15 minutes, it´d be worth to think about leaving the bedroom and being active in another room until you´ll get tired again. If you are staying in bed awake, your subconscious mind is tempted to connect awakeness with this location.
