how much sleep do you get?


how much sleep do you get per day?
does it vary day to day?
do you sleep once or twice a day?
do you prefer to be awake during the day or night?

I read that humans are diurnal and we should sleep around 9pm to 7am.

I'm living on a small farm,therefore for me it's impossible.

"I read that humans are diurnal and we should sleep around 9pm to 7am."

If only that were possible now! I haven't had that much of a chance to sleep since I was a teenager on weekends! Now I have the chance, but it's impossible to do.......
Now that I'm in my 60's and retired, I'm lucky to get 5 solid hours each night. The rest is spent getting up to use the can! Another chunk is trying to get back to sleep.

Happy Trails! Getting older isn't for sissys!

reply

Yup!

reply

yeah I don't sleep much.

reply

Not enough

reply

same is true for me. I am sleep deprived.

reply

When midnight comes rolling around, the second I get tired, I run to bed... I get up once to pee, then try to go back.. I slept 8 hours on average in the last 2 weeks, which might be my 2nd best record ever.

reply

Pretty average 6-8 hour person myself
But i once read that Ben Franklin, one of the finest Americans ever, almost never 'slept' in the real sense
Instead he would 'catnap' for 20 minutes periodically throughout the day and night so he would always have time for his writing and projects
Anybody else go this route?
Is it even possible??

reply

Try to work 12 hours without sitting down,on night shift for three months.

A working man!
I admire those the most:)
As my dear old pop always says...better to have too much damn work than none at all
Hes 70 and still paints houses and barns

reply

My grandfather was the same,even at 75 he still worked around the house.He was...how do you say...old fashion school,or something.

reply

Kramer tried that and he ended up in the Hudson River is a sack.

reply

Oh yeah right!
I forgot that:)
Great show...and maybe the catnap thing is a lousy idea

reply

is that the tv show Seinfeld? never seen it but I do have some seasons I want to watch through.

reply

I think I'm making up for years of being sleep-deprived. I'm recently retired and usually don't have to get up at a specific time so I get about 9 hours a night. When I was working full time I considered a full night's sleep to be 5 or 6 hours.

reply

I get 7 hours,don't nap in day,I like to be awake at night when I'm off work.

reply

Roughly 7 hoursish.

reply


I try to get between 9 and 12 hours. Old Skol here.
