I was just wondering how much everyone else sleeps. I generally get 6 hours per night, and I function just fine.

It depends on if it's weekend or a weekday. On weekends I generally get about nine hours of sleep, on weekdays about six. I'm kinda cranky when I have only six, but something about going to sleep before one AM just doesn't seem to register with my body, so I wind up listening to music or reading or writing until one, even if I work my rear off during the day.

I usually get 7, but by the weekend things start to "catch up" on me and I'll catch a few extra Z's on the weekend mornings Of course, dozing off during the middle of the day (especially after lunch) is becoming more challenging (the staying awake part, that is)

Now on the weekends (or weekdays, which are my days off), I still dont sleep more than 6. Occasionally, I will get 7, but never more. I am never asleep until after 1, occasionally 2 in the morning. And I never sleep past 8. Its this thing I have where I feel that if I sleep past 8am, my day is lost. So I generally wake up between 7:15 and 8:00. I remember when I was a little kid I used to wake up at 5:00 and be ready for my day. So I'd just sit in my room and do whatever until my parents woke up. I just don't like to sleep.

I generally get at least 8 hours of sleep (I voted for the first option) but its not uncommon that I get less.

God! I got in at four last night. Back from clubbing.

Freak! I generally get up somewhere around nine or ten AM. I waste my days, but live my nights! Well, sometimes I do. Other times I waste my nights, too...

I'm just plain lazy. I have late classes during the semester and end classes early. No job at the moment, so... Yeah, I sometimes spend 10 hours in the sack. Granted, when I get up I feel like I've wasted half the day, which is mostly true, but oh well.

Sleep? let's see... work at 3am... till 8am... school (and work at school) from 9am till 5pm... deal with relationship from 6pm till 12am... so roughly 3 hours a night. 15 hours a day on weekends though.

4-5 hours is all the more I need, I think the adrenaline balances out nicely then. =o)

It goes back and forth between more than eight some nights and less than eight on others. It really depends on what shift i'm working.

Anything less than seven hours a night requires a sturdy ale at lunchtime, to get me through a working day, and the weekend is my special treat!

 

I nice lie in

I'm guessing that my average is over eight per night. However, I'm quite the insomniac staying up some nights, sleeping less than four hours for several days in row followed by long nights of catchup sleep. I don't have much of a schedule.

When I start school in 2 weeks, I'll get more sleep (its funny how that works out, but its true). I have classes at 9am three days a week, so I'll be up by 7:30 (I set an alarm just in case). Then I 'll be working 6-10 each day. But I end up going to sleep around 12 on those days because since Im at school, Im not out with my gf, so that causes me to be bored and sleep. Hopefully I get along with the new roomies and I can start hanging out more.

Since they invented Energy Drinks i discovered I manage with less sleep.

These days.. with work and all.. i get about 4 to 5 hours of sleep minimum and a maximum of 6 or 7 hours usually... but on the weekends.. if I can get away with it.. i sleep 10 to 12 hours.. back in college I usually slept 14 hours when I didnt have classes.. or during the summer and winter breaks.. granted my days got all screwed up but it was great.. I'm a huge night person, and I hate mornings!

Ah, jeeze, I've been trying to get out of the summer rut of sleeping late since I have school again come Monday, but last night/early this morning, I made a big mistake: I forgot that I should never, ever, play RTS games within three hours of when I want to go to sleep. Why? Because I lose track of time and don't want to quit until I've done something significant, like conquered Africa, or beaten back Mordor.

 

I got to sleep at two AM last night, and got up again at 10:15... Ugh! It had been weeks since I played BFME II. I thought I was over it... I was wrong...

There have been three games in my life that have dominated my sleep...

Kingdom Hearts

Kingdom Hearts II

Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

 

I lived and breathed the first Kingdom Hearts game (if you never played, you better). Luckily I didnt have a significant other at the time, or that would have spelled trouble. Kingdom Hearts II was kinda worse, because I had to balance my time with my gf and the game, hence I was going to sleep late and waking up early to squeeze as much time as possible in. And with Zelda...it was bad. Luckily I wasn't working at the beginning of the summer, so I was able to get a lot of my playing time in during the day, but I still had plenty of late nights in Hyrule...

Good thing I don't play these games! There was a time where I could stay awake playing Rebellion a long time.

Yupp Rebellion and KOTOR could still make me insomniac for days

Speaking of lack of sleep, I had to pick my sister up from the trainstation at 2am this morning. I didn't get to sleep until well after 3, and was up by 7:30 because we had to go out and run some errands this morning. Im ready to crash.

Yeah... When I don't get enough sleep, I look like this:

I just finished reading a new members asking how to get higher ranks. It was explained that it is based on posts to this forum, not game skills or time since joined.

 

After reading this thread, I now have a much fuller and greater understanding of where many of those ranks came from

 

Oh, sorry, I need 8 hours of sleep per night.

Do you mean my favorite thread?

Nope, this one.
