I think I sleep too much...

[JohnCU]

I usually get 10-11 hours of sleep every night, but then I wake up at 8 and can barely keep my eyes open for my 9 and 10 am classes...?

 

[Reliant]

10-11 is way too much in my opinion.

Sleeping too much can make you feel tired.

Some people are not morning people no matter how much sleep they get! We all have different rhythms.

Have you ever been checked for diabetes? Sad, but feeling tired at abnormal times (early morning because your body has not had food in it) is a real symptom of diabetes.

 

7.5 hours usually does the trick for me.

doesnt the military say you can stay sane on like 4 hours everynight?

Maybe, you're depressed?

Nope, not depressed. In fact, I'm on Paxil, but not for depression. I think one of the side effects is sleepiness...

Even after 10 hours of good sleep, waking at 7 to go to work hurts like hell. I'm not a morning person, and never, ever will be.

im just like you, no matter how much sleep i get, getting up in the morning is painfull for me

recent sleep studies (no link) suggest that people may require as few as 4 hours of sleep a night, or as much as 10 or 11.
The best way to assure restful sleep is exercise or activity during the day.

Whenever I sleep in (10-12 hours of sleep), I feel like sh1t when I wake up.
However, when I get 7-9 hours of sleep, I feel normal when I wake up.

anyone who sleeps more than 5 hours/day is a lazy phuck

i remember sleeping 3,4 on my second year in college... i'd just fall asleep everywhere during the day: in lecture halls, classes, on the train, subway, buses... it was bad.

7,8 is more normal. i'd consider a good sleep is when you don't need coffee in the morning to wake you up.

I've NEVER been a morning person and I never will be. Also, having fibromyalgia makes sleeping a long time just about a necessity because our sleep is usually not that great. Anyway....I feel your pain.

I once slept from Saturday morning 8 AM to Sunday 12 NOON. But that was after working from Thursday - Saturday.

I miss college

This thread is making me sleepy!

 

[johnjbruin]

i sleep about 6-7hrs a day - that way i dont feel tired or sleepy throughout the day. maye a bit tired around 3-4pm - but then i eat like an apple or something and am ready to go. being in office from 8am to 6pm sucks though.

 

[The Green Bean]

8 hrs normal...

Record when I was NOT sick/ill : 17hs ....those were the days....sigh

good measure of how much u need is when you naturally wake. assuming u consistently go to bed around the same time.

Sleeping weird hours usually makes me the most tired. For instance, today I slept from 530am-1pm and I'm feeling pretty groggy.

 

[lokiju]

Seems starnge to me that I naturally want to stay up late and sleep late, if I go for awhile without the need to get up an any certian time (when I was unemployed) then I'd tend to eaisly stay up until 3 AM on a regular basis and wake up at around 11AM or 12 PM, but now that I work M-F 9-6 I go to be at around 12 AM and get up at 8 AM, then when the weekends come around I'm up until 2-4 and usually get up anywhere from 10-1.
