Sleep needed to function

[beekman]

question for all yall.

how much sleep do you need (minimum) to function the next day at work.

I've been doing 4 hours of sleep, and I am just about ok. any lesss...I'd think I would die

well, when i was working full time, i slept 6 hours a night, and after a few weeks of that, i was fine.

It's all about the sleep cycles, as long as I get it in roughly hour and a half increments I can wake up feeling pretty good regardless of how much sleep I get. 4.5 - 5 hours is the minimum so I don't feel like I'm on a cloud for the first couple hours of consciousness.

about 8 hours, as long as I go to bed by midnight. if I get less sleep or I stay up way too late I'm really tired and groggy the next day.

30 minutes, but I can only do that for ~4 days.

Oh, and a caffeine IV would help.

I'm running on like 90 minutes of sleep and it's killing me.

for the last 2-1/2 weeks, i've been going to bed at like 3-3:30 and waking up at 7:30 so I can get to work at 8:00... I have a feeling that if I actually get a lot of sleep one day it will completely screw up my internal clock and make me all tired again lol...

6 hours every night for the past 2 years, and I feel great. 12pm - 6am.
