Sleep

[Dan_]

On average how many hours sleep do you get each night?

I get around 9 hours normally, without at least 6 hours I never seem to be able to function right these days.It's strange, a couple years back I went through a spell of just never being able to settle but now I'm always out pretty quick.

Is there anything you do to get you off to sleep?

4.

[Conor]

Weekdays: 7/8
Weekends: 10/11 (I usually get back/stay up late and end up lying in until about half 1 lol)

[Shaun]

For a period I was getting no sleep at all, with occasional 4/5 hour sleeps.

Nowadays I get around 7 hours, depending on whether or not I have school. On weekends it's usually 8-9 hours.

[Lauren]

About 5 hours of broken sleep on normal nights, less on bad nights, more unbroken on good nights.

[CassetteFinger]

I say 4, mabe less. My sleep is terrible, if i do sleep at night i wake up at least 4 times, seriously :blush:

[Captain.Remy]

Weekdays: 7.
Weekends: 4 when I am going out or with my girlfriend/11 if I stay home.

[DamonJ]

I constantly fall asleep throughout the day so, I have no idea :blush2:

[~Kizwiz~]

I need a good 8/9 hours sleep or I am grouchy as hell.

But I sleep badly most nights, lots of broken sleep and waking up with a startle.

I am a habitual clock watcher and I cant get out of the habit. Its most annoying.

I get to the stage where I am dead on my feet and have to go to bed really early because I havent had a good nights solid sleep for ages and then I will sleep for 10 - 12 hours

I find it impossible to get to sleep. Always having streams of great thought in bed that keep me awake. When I do fall asleep , however , im out like a light and thats it. I set my alarm early the next morning because I only ever like to get about 5 hours sleep a night anyway. I have been able to do shitloads of extra stuff over the summer months as a result of not going to bed until 2 and waking up again at 7.

Sometimes if a game or movie is THAT good , I will neglect sleep entirely for one night.

Trust me , doing an all nighter and watching the day get bright between 4 and 6 when the world is still asleep is beautiful.

[Loukas]

Depends, Most nights around 8 hours, which is ok for my age...i think lol..

But on weekends its a different story! Last weekend i got 1 hour sleep because i went to a sleepover!! But if im at home on a sleepover i still go to bed at around 4am-ish but get up at like 2pm, so yeah thats when i sleep best :D

[Stu]

Im not a big fan of the whole 'required sleep for a certain age' argument. I just do whatever feels right to me.

[Barbie]

I absolutely hate sleep and I'm up at about 5 am .. not that there's anything to do normally i record something on sky+ to watch in the morning before getting ready for college
I find it quite boring and once I'm up thats it ... once I get into bed thats it out like a light luckily!

[Spike]

On a weekday usually 7/8 hours
On a weekend usually 12 hours.

But it changes.

This is actually why I'm a Big Brother fan because I have trouble sleeping so if I'm watching something boring as hell (the live feed) I'll drop off pretty quickly. Like Morpheus, I get a load of thoughts so I have to keep myself occupied, and I can't sleep in silence either so the live feed isn't completely silent and it keeps me occupied from random thoughts. But I can't sleep practically at all in heat so lately I've been up at around 7am-9am despite not having to get up for anything which means I'm generally in bed earlier (10pm-1am) than I usually would be.

In the winter and when its not boiling, I'll get about 7 hours. If its the summer and I've got the sun beaming through the window at 6am then I'll get about 4-6 hours. This morning I went to bed at 7am (because I had people round, and I still do littered around the house crashed out) and I was up again by 10am.

[Nicky.]

Weekdays - 7 / 8 hours x

Weekends - Usually stay up till about 2 (Dad dosn't know lol) and wake up at 12, so about 10 x

But when Im at ma mums I have about 12/13 hours, i go to bed at like 11.30 and wake up around 12/1 ish! lol x

[Xander]

4/5 - Im terrible, and I suffer badly in school because I can't function properly and I really just can't get off to sleep, so I stay up until whenever Im tired.

[Conzors]

YAY ME XX

[BigSister]

weekdays when im not working about 9 hours
weekdays when i am working about 7-8
weekends about same as above about 7-8

[Tom4784]

On weekdays I always go to bed around 12:30 and i'll get up at 6:20-9 o clock depending on what time i need to be in college. On wednesdays weekends and holidays i go to bed really late like $ in the morning and I ussually get up around 10-12.

So basically

Weekdays: 6 hours or so
weekends: 6-8 hours

Without my alarm i can sleep for hours though, i'm a very deep and lucid dreamer.

[Sarah.]

Weekdays: about 6 hours, I wake up loads during the night so sometimes it's less.
Weekends: about 9 hours.

[Nurse57]

About 5 hours a night. I can function on about 2 hours.

[*mazedsalv**]

8 hours on school nights.

About 9 or 10 hours in weekends(Going to bed really late and waking up really late).Like 1 untill 11 or 2 until 12.

[Sunny_01]

I am a little like Dan and can not function on less than 6 hours, but I prefer at least 8 hours or I am a little grumpy.

[Dizzy]

About 9 hours on school nights.
About 6 or 7 on weekends/holidays, sometimes less xDD

[Hugo]

7 - 8 hours on school nights. 9 hours on weekends. I think thats pretty healthy. I dont know how you can survive on 4 Billy! lol

[x.Nicola.x]

Normally during the week it's about 5/6 hours but I know I need alot more. At weekends, I try to get 8/9 hours to make up for it though.

[BigBrotherfan4ever]

I really need between 7/8 hours a night & if i dont get that im so crabby the next day, i feel as though i've got hangover

Im exactly like that. If i get even 1 hour less sleep, I will be very bad moodish the next day.

[Chemicle]

Well i usually go to bed around 12 on school nights, and wake up around 07:30, but on weekends it's usually 4:00AM and wake around 2 PM, thats if i even go to bed, sometimes i pull an all nighter, and sleep till around 3:30

[*mazedsalv**]

School nights its 11:30pm and i wake up at 7am. I go to bed whenever on weekends, I dont have a time, its just random every night and now that I have half term!! Yay!! Late nights!! :thumbs2:

[LovelyL]

i love sleep but i dont get much. i lay in bed watchin tv on weeknights so get about 6 hours, 7 if i'm lucky. weekends i get about 3/4 a night when i go out, get to bed early hours then do it all again!! not good and will take its toll on my looks soon i am sure:conf2:

[Xander]

I set myself a news years resolution to go to bed early this year. So far I have failed, miserably.
I hate sleep, so utterly pointless.

[andybigbro]

i dunno but i go to bed late! and get up late lol

[Nicola]

About 8 - 10 hours per night usually, past couple of nights it's been between 4 and 5 hours cos my bloke's been on lates all week and we've been staying up until 2 in the morning, then I've had to be up to get my daughter ready for Nursery and my alarm goes off at 6.45 in the morning.

[supernoodles!]

well if ive got work the next day its normally between 11-11.30 sometimes a little earlier or a little later and then i get up at quater to 8.If im not at work the next day it can vary completley.Anything from normal time 11 to 3am.If ive been out partying i usually fall asleep about half 3 /4depending on wether ive had a gud night or not if its been a rubbish night it will probs be about half 2 latest.Then i get up at say half 10.I dont really like sleep its boring

[*mazedsalv**]

I can wake up whenever I want now as I dont have school for a week :banana:

[Callum]

I have real bad sleeping patterns. school nights i go to bed about 11pm but can never fall asleep until about 12am i always get distracted by looking around my bedroom, and say if i see a book or something i'll start to fidget with it. and then i need to go and get a drink, then try and get some sleep and for some reason every night i get up in the middle of the night and check that i've packed my bag correctly for school. in the morning i hate getting up, i find it so hard!, especially school days. I would love to have a normal's night sleep, so people who can actually have that, don't take it for granted.

[Legend]

I love sleep. When I've got 6th form or work the next morning then I usually get around 7-8 hours and then have a 'power nap' once I'm home. :wink:

On weekends I get around 10 whether I've been out the night before or not. If I've been drinking the night before then I'll always wake up early, but it takes no longer than 5 minutes to get back asleep.

When I'm tired I'm in a fowl mood too.
