    I'm a lazy bastaad and will often sleep for about 10 hours if I don;t have to be up for anything. Wouldn't be able to function on 6 hours I doubt

    During the working week I normally go to sleep around 12 and set my alarm for 7. Usually press snooze for around 40 mins before I actually stumble bleary eyed and confused from bed.

    Usually get up between 10-11 at weekends

    I love sleeping I do!

    I like a solid 10 hours generally. When no-one else is involved, I'd generally go to bed at about midnight and wake up at 10.

    6 or 7 hours each week night, make up for it on weekends and sleep for 12 hours (at least) on Sat/Sun

    7 hours is enough to refresh you for a day, but it's possible to survive on 6

    If I oversleep I tend to feel more tired/sluggish and if I oversleep I get a headache in the morning!

    I need about 9 hours sleep to function right.
    Much more or less and I'm groggy for the day.

    8 to 10 hours, cos I've got SAD I've slept for 12 to 14 hours a night on a regular basis in the winter.

    Me mother says I'm sleeping my brains out.

    Ye that happens to me too. I read somewhere that sleeping too much is actually bad for you...and this is the proof

    Max I can do is probably 8 hours.
    But my average consecutive sleep is about 2hrs. I get bouts of insomnia or just very bad pattern of sleep.

    I love the bed, would sleep 12 hours in a night no bother to me, during the week of course :D weekend is different story..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 145 ✭✭Otaku Girl


    Not enough,and when I do wake that's it,I can't go back to sleep again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 813 ✭✭✭Sinall


    I could easily sleep for about 14 hours on the weekend. Weekdays I seem to get about 7hours, but need more. So I tell myself I am catching up on weekends!

    Bit of a sleep addict I think...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 52 ✭✭tattoodublin


    :( I wish i could sleep more :eek: i have pretty crazy dreams


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,160 ✭✭✭✭banshee_bones


    Oh i love sleep, could sleep for up to 14 hours. Usually between 8 and 12 though. I work in a bar so my sleeping patterns are well messed up. Usual bedtime 4 or 5 am and wake up these days between 11am and 1 pm. Couldnt function on anything less than 7 , i have done but damn its tough!


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    I average about 5 1/2 hours a night which is nowhere near enough. Sadly my body clock seems to have adjusted somewhat to this, so I'm normally wide awake until 2-3am, needing to be up at 8.30 for work. Make up for it a little at the wknd, but doesn't help much when liquor is involved.

    Eh not enough, I seem to wake when it gets bright outside. Thats why I love the winter, hate it for everything else :D


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,793 ✭✭✭oeb

    I usually get 7/8 hours sleep a night but by 4pm am yawning my head off & can only think of crawling back into the bed for a power nap after work!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 46 flibbertyjibbet


    Between 7 and 9 hours a night, but sometimes i go through phazes of craving a nap during the day and if i am sitting at home during these phazes i will drift off for an hour or two!
