How Much Sleep Do You Need and Get?

[BuckBackHome]

I'm dragging today as I had about 5 hours of sleep last night. If I get 7 hours I am in good shape, but anything less than a full 6 hours seems to slow me down.

I have a good friend who only sleeps 4 hours a night and he is always wired. Also, an attorney I work with on a regular basis sleeps about 4 hours a night. Of course, that might be because he works 16 hours most days.

I get five to seven and drag if I get five or less for too many days in a row.

If you spend a few months sleeping 4 hours a night, your body adjusts to it, and you can function on it with no problem. I am one of those 7 hour a night sleepers, never less. If I get less, I am like a palsi victim doing brain surgery with a pipe wrench.

My sleep patterns aren't really consistent, but if I had to guess I would say that I get around 6 hours of sleep a night. Some days I have a hell of a time getting out of bed, and others I wake up before my alarm goes off.

Never less than 5, never more than 8. 6.5 seems to be my magic number, so long as I get an 8 in their ever week or so.

Experts say your body needs to get 7.5 hours a night to get in a deep sleep and "heal."

They also say drinking beer hurts your liver...:(

I usually get 7-8 hours. I seem to wake up at 6:50 everyday no matter what I do. I rarely need the alarm.

I only needed an hour or so a night last week at the casino.

No No, I agree with them...I just don't care.

So far I've only had it affect my eyesight. Fuckin' beer goggles.

Liver? Hell, mine packed his bags and took off a long time ago. Something about being treated badly or being abused... I can't really remember what he said, I was pretty drunk at the time.
