Poll: Do you get enough sleep?

[Dedpuhl]

I sleep good now. I average 7 hours a day. When school starts, I will be reduced to 3-4 a day.

 

[shawnmos]

Sleep? I almost forget what that is. I get about 3 hours of sleep every night. The only day I acutally get to sleep in is Saturday and I sleep for 14 hours and I am still tired for whats left of the day. I feel like SH!T!!!!!!!! I always have a bad migraine headache that never seems to go away. I overdose on Advil to kill the pain. Now I think I have ulcer. My mom has one and it's so bad that if the medicine they are giving her doesn't help they will have to remove half of her stomach. If that happens she will have to eat 6 small meals a day. So here I am causing myself to have the same thing my mom has. I am always shaky I can never remember anything or even concentrate on anything and my grades in school are dropping. All because I stay up most of the night on the computer.

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Like ltk007, My nights last from 12:30 to about 5:30.

I'm usually tired in the morning at school, but once I get home I'm up and wide awake and I can't fall asleep until fairly late. Go figure.

Words of wisdom -

"The amount of sleep needed by the average person is about five minutes more."

 

[Adul]

LOL yucky. Actually shawnmos, you should try to go to bed by a set time. Make it your goal. Try it tongiht and see how you feel. it is well worth it

 

[EmperorNero]

how do you guys sleep? that may sound weird but I do not know how to fall asleep unless I'm really really tired. at school, I fall asleep in EVERY class whenever the teacher starts lecturing. also, I can fall asleep easily when the environment is not right: for example, I'm tired of doing hw so I lay down for a bit...then I fall asleep despite the radio and lights are on. but when it's time for me to actually sleep (lights off, me comfortably in my bed, etc), I cannot sleep at all. so what do you guys do to sleep?

 

[Mr.IncrediblyBored]

Heh, you sound like me. When my teachers begin to drone on, I'll be out like a light in a matter of minutes (unless I try really hard to stay up).

Try reproducing those 'special' environments. Put on your night clothes, hop into bed, and try and get your homework done. If its anything like at school, you should fall asleep in no time. You can also try reading. Shakespeare is makes for great reading.

If all else fails, you could consider sleeping aids (read: pills).

I get 5-7 hours a night. If I sleep for 5 hours, I wake up alert. If I sleep in on the weekends for say 8-10 hours I feel sluggish and tired when I wake up. Now what the hell is that? Even on 4 hours of sleep, I won't get tired until about 1am.

 

[timmyG]

i go to bed anywhere from 11pm-2am(usually around 12:30) and wake up at 6:30 so definetly not. i fall asleep at school when the teacher talks for a while, and especially while watching educational movies. i am gone after like 5 mins and then we have a quiz and i am screwed everytime. i even try to stay awake, but it is too hard. i am also usually not tired at night. i can easily stay up all night no problem, but in the day i am always sort of drowsy. even when i get a lot of sleep this seems to be the case. also whenever i wake up i am never hungry at all and the thought of food makes me sick. that happen to anybody else?
