    Lately about 3 hours on a Sunday night, 4 - 5 hours Monday - Thursday and then 8 or 9 on Friday and Saturday. Not enough overall. I should really quit caffeine but I'm not sure I'd sleep any more if I did anyway.

    Workdays: Bed from 2230 till 6 = 7.5hrs

  • Registered Users Posts: 19,106 ✭✭✭✭TestTransmission


    i work 12 hour shifts,nites and days in the same week.
    so,i got to bed yesterday at 8:30 am,got up at 1pm and still awake(working till 8 again)worst thing is if i have a day shift 2/3 days later,i cannot get to sleep the night before....

    I would get 5-6 hrs sleep on weeknights and about 8 at the wkends. I find that the more sleep I get sometimes the worse I feel. :confused: I would however try to get an early weeknight of 7hrs to catch up every few weeks.

    I hate the fact I always remember my dreams- it's very draining. Probably a factor in me avoiding too much sleep.

    Monday-Friday during college...4&1/2 and about 7 on the weekends...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 33 DangleDevil


    _Joe_... you'd imagine it would be more sleep during the week and less at weekends!!

    I get about 7 during the week and about 9 at weekends.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 166 ✭✭Suzywuzy


    I never get enough sleep ... always tired in the mornings especially work mornings. Usually get about 5-7 hours and still wrecked when I have to get up !!! :eek:


  • Registered Users Posts: 427 ✭✭eve


    Most nights it's between 7.5 hours and 8.5 hours-that's regardless of having work the next day. Even at the weekend I can't sleep past 8am. I fall asleep really quickly and am usually wide awake within a few mins of the alarm going off


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,819 ✭✭✭hawkwing


    Always awake before the alarm which i can never remember being woken by. Asleep at 12, wake about 3,5,530,600,615 and up at 640 so less than 6 per night but never more than 5 hrs in a row without waking up, don't know is this normal. Feel wrecked during the day, 10-1500hrs.:confused:


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,692 ✭✭✭Loomis


    Not enough
    Usually get into bed round 2am and up at 5.40am for work. Though I normally get an hour sleep on the way up and the way home in the evening.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,179 ✭✭✭FunkZ


    Normally go to bed between 2am and 6am and get up before twelve!

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,044 ✭✭✭Sqaull20

    7-8 hours. 10 at the weekend.

    I'm a very heavy sleeper. My Dad once set off the fire alarm in my room but I still didn't wake up. Likewise when my sister started to punch me in the face.
