How much do you sleep?

I get max 5 hours, but it's not a straight 5hr sleep. I do 3hours then I'm awake for maybe 2 hours then I go back to bed for 2hours or so. Thought I had insomnia and no doubt do, but the 2 hours I'm awake I go for a run or hit the gym and then get back to bed it's become a habit I've not been able to break for almost 10 years.
 
few years ago I was building a business which was the type of concept that the more I was into it the more money I made... it was good money so I got addicted pretty fast... that's when I spent a whole year the way that I slept 3-4 hours a day or I was awake 2 days in a row and even after that I could only sleep 5-6 hours... then you even get addicted to insomnia, at a certain state your brain don't have any extra capacity to think about bullshit and you really just work like a straight robot without any disruptions... it's really a hell of a drug...

I gained a bunch of money and made a well established business by the end of the year but the same time I started to have constant panic attacks and I really ruined my health... well everything comes with a price I guess... next year I literally had to force myself to rest more and it took at least half year to gain back my normal sleeping habit which is like 6 hours a night avg... however before that I could sleep a lot, since that year I cannot really sleep more than 6 hours even if I'm very tired xD

I don't really remember the last time when I woke up feeling relaxed tho, it became quite the normal thing to me that I wake up feeling like shit haha... but I'm still not addicted to coffee or any stimulants ;)

I usually sleep 8-9 hours, sometimes 10. I think it's super important mentally, as well as staying active. Some big athletes sleep for 12+ hours/day.
 
I tend To get about 5-7 depending when I get to sleep. Either way I'm up at 6 am the latest. Kids ready for school, clients, family time, repeat
 
10 hours. I think my staff sleep 6 hours though
 
8-10 hours, this is a great thread BTW, interesting to read everyone's answers.

Wish there was a nice way to view all the data... Poll perhaps??
 
When I smoke weed,if I don't get 10 hours of sleep I can't function normally.. usually I sleep around 6-7-8 hours.
 
sometimes too much about 9-12 sometimes so less :'( 4-5
 
How do you even do this. When are your typical sleeping hours? Do you take naps? Can you concentrate for a long time? Really curious!
Usual sleeping time is 7AM-9AM, so if I get lucky it's somewhat like 10AM-2PM (mostly).
I don't take naps. I take cold showers and drink 1-2 black coffees a day.
I have to concentrate for longer periods of time, yes. But it depends on what I'm doing. If it's coding then at least 6 hours/day, but I make sure to take a 10 minute break every 45 minutes. If it's IM stuff then not as much, so it's 3 hours of focus + exercising.
The rest is free time, or study time.

huge dude, thanks for the insight. Appreciate you existing hahaha
 
6 hours, usually from 11pm ( i got to bed at 10:30) i wake up at 4:40am but get up at 5:20am
 
8-9 hours per night. I've started sleeping earlier and waking earlier and I feel so much better and way more productive.

I've been using a sleep timer/calauclator for about 4 years now and it's improved me sleep and general alertness drastically.

I've always been an 8 hour a night guy.. never more, never less.

Over the last couple of years that's changed to about 6 hours most nights with the occasional mid-day nap. Most days I find myself wondering if I should hit the rack or put more hours of work in haha..

Curious about others here's sleeping patterns!
me too, if i sleep 6 hours i need a mid-day nap, i wish i can sleep less and work more
