Sleep
I am a big fan of sleep. I make it a priority to make sure I get to bed with enough time to potentially get 8 hours of sleep. I don't oversleep as I hate to waste the day and to be sluggish. But one of biggest joys is a comfortable bed, a cuddly blanket, and a comfortable room temperature.
Lately, with my 7-8 hours of sleep, I have been waking up like I have been knocked unconscious. I wake up with a headache, cranky and feel like I just mixed a lot of drinks the night before.
Last night, I didn't get to bed until 1am, knowing I was off today.
What time did I get up? 5 am. 5 FREAKIN' AM! No alarm, no phone call, no nightmares...nothing! I woke up like I had a full nights sleep.
I felt like I had energy and tons of time! Around 4:30, I got a little sluggish and wanted a nap. But after going to dinner, I was just fine.
So, my question is....how much sleep do you personally need to feel rested and full of energy?
I know everyone is different, and I know the mom readers I have will skew the results ;-) .... but I'm curious as to what is actually "average"

Posted by: Eric at March 30, 2006 06:56 AMI typically average 4 hours a night.
Bedtime is midnight or 1am, I get up at 5:30.
Sometimes I can't sleep until 2am...but oh well, that's life.
You know me sissy, the more the better.
I'm suprised I'm awake right now.
I say 9 or 10 hours but that's because of my apnea.
I need at least 6 hours to function properly.
With this job, I've been getting maybe 4 to 5.
In two or more chunks. Mere naps, really.
Ever been so tired you have uncontrollable hand spasms? Hallucinations?
That's me at least twice a week.
I don't remember what it feels like to not be tired.
