In pursuit of the perfect sleep

[timgco]

How many hours of sleep do you get?
How many hours to feel 100% complete rested up?


I've found that the more you work out..at first you need way more sleep. Sore muscles, fatigue at timesno matter how much/little you do cardio or lift.

But than after a while it seems that 6 hours feel like 8 or 10 did before.

Does more sleep automatically give you more drive? personally?
Does less sleep offer more of a rested sleep allowing your body to regenerate? Sometime I find REM sleep to be more effective with staying up later.

What is the perfect sleep for you.

I am having issues balancing it all out....again. What do you think?

Violent masturbation while drunk on fine whiskey on the rocks usually knocks me out cold.

HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:

Sleep is overrated. I get about 4 hrs/night. Then every 5 days or so I get an 8 hour one in. There's too much to do in life to sleep it away.

Get all the sleep you want when you are dead... no need in worrying yourself to "death" over how much you need and then to just die in your sleep anyways..

Dude, why can't I pm you? Is it an elcova problem?

Whoa, why does your $hit say banned?

WTF? I'll call you tomorrow if it's ok?

[Karsun]

I go to bed around 4-5 am and get up around 10, 11 or noon. I'd say I get about 5-6 hours of sleep. I do tend to take a nap once in a while in the afternoon but with the twins (furry ones, not humans) it's hard to sleep unless Rich is home to keep them out of trouble. I usually take a sleeping pill at night as well. I'd rather take something than lie away all night trying to sleep. Then sometimes I stay up all night and go to bed around 10 am. Depends on when I want to work.

Sleep...... Oh yeah thats my cross to bear. I've got 3 docs that cant figure out WTF is wrong with me. I wake up sore, the longer I sleep the more tired I am the next day. The list is never ends so I'm not gonna bother typing it all. 300 MG Seroquel, with 1MG Xanax at bed time, 20 MG Adderal XR to attempt to get me out of my drug induced fog in the morning.

Throw all them damn drugs out and go getcha some sex! What guy in his right mind doesnt want to sleep after sex? Unless it's with some fantasy woman? A good shot of back should straighten your a$$ out! Try it I bet you sleep pretty good after getting your groove on!

Then you'll just have to figure out how to get it every night!

Or maybe sleep is not the problem, maybe lack of nookie is!

Tim,

I'm assuming that while working out;

In the beginning, you need more sleep to repair your muscles and rest from the work you have done to it.

After a routine is well established, your body has become more efficient and does not need the sleep that it once did.

In fact, it's all about "routine". You need to find out how much you need for what you do everyday. Then stick to it. And you're right, the quality (rem) is important:

Getting a humidifier if it is dry, staying hydrated, sleeping in the right clothes (nothing that twists up and gets lumpy), colder temps, and eating a good snack an hour or so before you fall asleep so your glucose levels don't rise in the middle of the night can help.

But the key is to maintain your routine (activity levels and time sleeping)- changing it up can ruin a day and takes several to get back on track.

Say if you change it up on the weekends- stay up late Fri. night and run around on a rhino in the snow all day :p, stay up late again Sat. and rise late Sun. morning then you will spend most of your work week getting back into a routine and then screwing it all up on the weekend again. So trying to stay on schedule all the time would really help.

Weekends normally mean "sleeping in" but it will hit you throughout the week and you won't miss it.

Too much or too little will make you tired.

Before my pregnancy- I usually only needed about 6 hours- but sometimes more depending on how the day went. If I fall asleep around 10 and wake up at 4- I get up and stay up. If I putter around and go back to sleep I am tired all day- Same thing if I stay up late to watch a game (or violently masterbate without success, (it's the alcohol) sometimes you have to reluctantly throw in the towel and tag yourself in the morning :D) I keep the same routine on the weekends.

Sounds like stripper hours:)

[Marcmedic]

At work I get usually between 0-3 hours of sleep. Still manage to function just fine the next day. Can't do too many days of this in a row though without taking a nap in the afternoon at one point. Off duty I really can't sleep more than 5 hours at a time without waking up and feeling tired as hell. Anything over 8 is usually a result of a cold or being really hungover.

[wpage]

I like 9 hours of sleep when doable...:dancingbanana:

[Big Dad]

Sounds like stripper hours:)

HAHAHAHA!!!! LMFAO!

Don't freakin look at me! Tower and I git along fine.:confused:

You have to ask the other 12 mods.:clapping:

[Big Dad]

You have to ask the other 12 mods.

RYDMod! What did you do?

[RubHer Yellow Ducky]

RYDMod! What did you do?

ME !

i'm 98% against banning...I've been banned, i don't know how many times for NO REASON AT ALL...

The only reason I can think as to why someone banned him is because he's a messianic jew (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=messianic+jew&spell=1) (i'm allowed to say that since i'm a MOT, most of you don't wanna go there...trust me...)

UNLESS

he banned himself to cause a controversy...he's a SECRET MOD...

[timgco]

Back on track DAMNIT!!!! :raar:

Those who were banned deserved it I'm sure! The mods don;t ban just to ban.

Thanks for the replies on the whole sleep thing.
