I don't get enough. I'll be getting less than four hours tonight...

How about you? Sleep deprivation has some nasty long term effects, especially when the brain is developing.

4 hours every night.  There are just so many things to do, far few hours in a day.

5 to 7 hours every night and there goes all my beauty sleep, if way to tired may take a nap during the day.
But in order to get up and don't feel cranky gotta have my Rockstar ...

What's sleep?

I just woke up today at 12:30pm from doing an overnight drawing session and yet I still haven't finished my work! >_< I really hate sleeping.

You need sleep. (Unless, you're one of the freak of nature that only need 4 hours)

He could have insomnia you know, I remember when I played World of Warcraft ( So sue me I wanted to see what all the fuss was about :( ) there was a woman I knew who had it and she was almost on 23/7 like a horse lol she had nothing better to do.

Seems everyone in this thread has some form of insomnia, myself included. As mc_lovin said, there just aren't enough hours in the day.

I simply dislike sleeping. I find being productive more satisfying than sleeping, but we all need to sleep somewhat. So anyways, I get between 0 and 14 hours of sleep, depending how many times I do the former before performing the latter.

I've actually found that I sleep far better if I go to bed really early at around 7:00pm - 8:00pm, I even feel healthier when I wake up and need to sleep less which is interesting for me O_O if I go any later than that usually I'm completely wasted when I wake up.

Well, since Lifehacker is down, and there's a few articles I want to post on here, the backup site will have to do.

Ohh and I don't drink coffee, energy drinks etc...

I also think there's so much that can be done, so why waste use the little time we have on sleep.

If you're losing sleep to video games or something equally unproductive, can I ask for your reason? I see none. ("Nothing better to do" is a sad argument that shows an extreme amount of ignorance)

Which is why I typically spend it on programming/film making/etc.

And I am an avid believer in caffeine

It's a combination of both for me.  I tend to sleep at least 6 hours a day, but only because I have trouble staying awake during the day if I get any less.  But I also view sleep as a necessary evil and a waste of time.  I could be doing so many other things that are either productive or enjoyable instead.

if you sleep properly you will perform better when it comes to sexual activities, that might be a good reason to rest properly.

Yeah lately I've also been getting less than 4 hours of sexual activity per day.

I love sleeping, but it is nuisance when you'd rather be getting someone pregnant something else done.

Definitely reflects in your nickname.  :P


* Only applies to guys

Wow. Lots of short sleepers out there.

I get 8-9 hours pretty consistently. A few days ago I only got 4 so I took a 2 hour nap, I was still tired after the nap.

bed at midnight, leave for work at 5.

Are you the young cop from that movie 'Crash' ?

He has many problems.

Seriously though, I do recommend the movie.

Edit: Oh, I just realized crash is a synonym for sleep. Just a coincidence.

So, uh, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that this problem and your username are somehow related.

Asides from vegetarians and vegans, who doesn't?

Every now and then I'll have a night that goes until 4am for no good reason, but most nights, I get 8 hours.

I like 9 hours. Fortunately I have a job where I can almost always decide when to wakeup and do so without an alarm

some days I may go up late or all night, or if I did have to get up early, only get 5 hours sleep

Then after staying up all night the next night I may sleep 12 hours straight (with waking up after 9/10 and staying in bed to fall asleep after just a minute or something)

I think there's something to the 1.5 chunk sleep cycle, where if you could get 7.5hrs or 9hrs thats better than in between at 8 hours or 8.5, in the middle over every 1.5hr chunk you're in REM sleep where you don't want to wakeup or you'll feel startled and not rested

Sometimes I'll nap too

DO NOT take energy drinks, haven't since high school. NEVER drank a cup of coffee.

Want to sleep on memory foam, just have the topper right now

That's wrong. Sleep is very important to the performance of many tasks, including some that are life and death matters.

And I enjoy both. Or maybe it's just food. Either way.

Humans intestines are about twice the length of a carnivores. Carnivores teeth are also spaces with distance between them; notice how when eating meat strands get stuck in between teeth?

The meat passed through carnivores digestive system faster; in ours it starts to rot and has to go through faster than normal vegetables/fruit or nuts or whatever

Humans are omnivores, not carnivores. It's also impossible to compare human digestive physiology to other animals because we are the only animals that have discovered how to cook food (http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2012/oct/22/cooking-supports-increased-human-brain-power), which has greatly influenced our evolution.

Have you ever tried to convince a woman who has had a bad night asleep and if you do convince her they tend to say "im tired, you do all the work" there is no fun in that.

Hm, let me see I don't think I have spent all night with a woman yet  :o...so no I haven't tried that.
But hey a rockstar and everything is fixed lol, maybe some people just have to much energy  :P

well age also has to do with it, what is your age, or age range?

EDIT: 24 if profile correct

Bed at 3 till 11 so... pretty decent 8 hours of sleep... but http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQZ2KrpZpMk&hd=1

Once i slept ~4 hours a night for 1 month
at the end of the month i didn't sleep for 3 days straight
I went totally nuts.
I ended up in a hospital for 3 weeks....

sleep is VERY important.

edit: this was way b4 bitcoin...

I have trouble falling asleep. It takes very long time in dark room and as a result I get really bored. That's why I stay up in the night working with my computer looking for answers what the Matrix is. Then wen I'm totally tired I fall to bed and pass out. In mornings it takes good hour to be able to do anything.Stimulant drugs like amphetamine are good for single occasion followed afterwards by really unproductive days.

I got 3 hours last night... and yeah, no coffee or anything throughout the day (it was actually nice, roaming Spokane with some friends :P). But I genuinely feel less healthy right now. I'll be getting 10 hours tonight! (Unless I choose to finish setting up that TRC pool haha)

edit:

adamstgBit: thanks for the story... a bit more motivation to get some rest!
