how many hours do you sleep?
 

i have been getting up before dawn to make my eastbay --> SF commute, hit the gym, shower, and get to work. i am out the door by 4:15. problem is, i feel like going to sleep at 8:30. i hope i get used to it. what about you guys? seems like i am worthless without 8 hours of shuteye.

8-12

8 Hours???? Are you F'n me? Ok, I usually get my eight on Saturday night, but otherwise I hover between 4-6 depending on the stress that week. Heck it's 9:30 here now and I just finished raking the yard, the bed isn't even a thought yet. Not saying you shouldn't get your 8, just saying F you that you can:)

Yeah I miss sleep. Even on weekends I have a tough time staying asleep past 6:00 am. Normal weekday is bed at 10:30 and up at 4:30 am. I don't need an alarm clock.

Ahhh retirement...I love it. The usual routine is bed at 11ish, up at 7ish. But gee, if I'm really tired, like 6-8 hours of hard physical labor in the yard of 1 1/2 acres, or just generally pissed about things, bored with TV or whatever? Hell, I can go to bed at 9, wake up at 7 or so. The last time I really went without sleep was to be able to be in the Marque parking area of last year's historic races at PIR. Marque parking had been moved to the infield, they wanted you there at 8:00 A.M. This meant that Cindy & I had to get up at "Oh dark-thirty", since I live 100 freeway miles South. By the time we made it home, it was 20 hours later. If it's the same Marque parking arrangement this year? I'll find something else to do that weekend. At my advanced age, I need my sleep.

I remember single life with no kids.

Last night was about 3.5 hours, night before was about 6. If I want more than 6 hours I go out of town. Some nights its the kids, others it's work.

You get used to it. I haven't seen the inside of the gym in 3 years. I'm envious.

i'm tired now.

Up at 4:45/5 for the 5 minute walk to the gym. I always liked being up and outside when everyone is still asleep-almost like I have the town to myself. Of course I must be in bed by 9:30.
which reminds me (damn Gran Turismo)........

8-9 if I'm lucky (I'm an insomniac)

between 6 and 8 here. Sleep is overrated.

4-6

Just can't seem to lie still for more.

About 6-7 hours, usually depends on what I am doing. In bed by midnight, up at 6:30, shower and then go to work. Weekends are a little different, I like to sleep as much as I can and stay out late as well.

4-6. Would love more.

I get around 7 now that my son is a year and a half old and sleeping better.

No way I'd sacrifice sleep to work out. I go to the gym at lunch time.

I'll sleep when Im dead.

Get the normal 6-7 sleep routine of a high school student. Up at 6:30 back to bed at 11-12 Like to go out on the weekends and party hard so really don't catch up much on the weekends. Holiday's are much appreciated. there should be a pelican holiday....

You can sleep when you're dead.

I go to bed around 11pm and get up at 5ish pretty much daily - no alarm clock.

It sucks.

I'm in bed at 1am up at 6:30am or 7:00 and see about 20 minutes of daytime everyday except Sunday I am outdoors all day.

Yesm I work over 56 hours. (why? I don't know)

I work long hours, so I try to cram as much into "my" time as I can.

Typically, I get around 5-6hrs a night, but I cannot seem to sleep in on the weekend. I only seem to get more sleep when I'm not at home (ie, vacation).

Let's see: I joined this board in May of '02 and it's almost May '05. Yep, haven't slept in three years. :D

3 to 4 hrs during the week. More on weekends.

usually 5-6 on the weekdays, at least 7 on the weekends, unless I gotta work.

Yeah, I figured that - you post as some wacky times ;)

Haha, I'm 7-8 hours, plus I end up adding to that if I'm riding my (pedal) bike lots. Usually 11 something 'till 7am. Sometimes its way less (once a week), occasionally its more. I would bet I actually go relatively close to 8 hrs average...

Less than that and I get tired and life sucks. Periodically, I have to work later/harder and it builds up... I'm guessing that a few of you guys have probably forgotten what it feels like to have slept well for a few nights on the trot.

Oh yeah, I (clearly) don't have kids, and make a point of not working too hard (unless I gotta). Sleep is my friend.

I must have an average of 8 hours. I cannot function at 100% with less sleep.

Hit the sack in time to watch as much of Leno as possible, usually around 10:30. Wake up at 05:30 almost every day. Weekends the same, have too much to do.

My boss is awake until 0100 then back up and working at 04:30 or so. Thats why he is a billionaire and I am not...

I'm the same way, unfortunately I haven't been getting that much sleep since college. I get 6-7 hours a night, sometimes less, which is not enough. I tend to sleep 10-12 hours on weekends.

I think the root of my problem is that I am not a morning person. If left to my own devices, I would get up between 9am and noon, and fall asleep between 1am and 4am. Unfortunatly, my work schedule has me getting up at 6:00am (allegedly) and going to bed at 10:00 (which I never do). I think there are literally 2-3 workdays a month where I have had enough sleep.

Re: how many hours do you sleep?
 

Bed at 9, up at 4:30 or 5,,,,,,unless you call me at 9:30 then ask why I go to bed so early. Hmmmm, welcome to my world, Cliff. I'll be up at Sand Mountain starting thursday. I'll call you at 10:00 and see how you're doing!!!!!!
