Hi,
I need a lot of sleep. Like tonight, I slept 8 solid hours and I was still really tired when I got up. I feel that sleeping 9 hours is best for me. But since I normally don't sleep that much I am often tired.
Are there any ways to make your sleep more efficient? I would be extremely happy if i could wake up totally rested after 8 hours sleep or even less. I already don't drink coffee after the morning and I don't train before going to sleep.
Any suggestions?
Regards, Lau

I am somewhat biased towards Eastern remedies... but
1. Have dinner a bit earlier and dont overeat.
2. Dont drink cold water , esp before bed
3. Reduce sour foods
4. Reduce idle activity in your day
hmmmm.... speaking of which, I should get some sleep...
Sorry for absense, lots happening.

What time of night are you going to bed? Generally, try to hit the sack before 11 pm. I don't know if this is a myth or not, but I think there was a study or two done where they found that the sleep that occurs prior to midnight is a better quality sleep.
Does anyone else know about this? I'll try to look it up again.

I took a psychology class some time ago (it was high school, so what). what makes you "feel tired" when you wake up depends on what part of sleep you are in when you wake. Specifcially the REM stage of sleep is the most vital. if you wake up during REM stage, you'll feel like crap even if you've slept for 10 hours.

Some hints.
If you really have problems with sleeping,you might want to look for a sleep medicine specialist.
However,different people function seemingly differently under different amounts of sleep due to biological differences.

Hey guys, it's about the min. 8hours of sleep a man needs to have. Well I'm about to have exams, and I'm getting a max. of 6 hours a sleep every night, is there a way to correct this a little bit ? I mean every minute sleeping is a minute lost studying you know ..
Thanks

Try cat napping in the afternoon for 15-30 minutes.
Often it's not the quantity but the quality, and the number of completed sleep cycles. Have you ever noticed how if you're disturbed for 20 minutes in the night, you oversleep by 2 hours?
Anyway, from your other thread it seems you're no stranger to the age old cure for insomnia

No, cramming is staying up all night the last two weeks of the semester trying to relearn everything you covered because you never bothered to keep up with it once your homework was done.
Going over the material every week or two but not having to really look at it is call reveiwing. If you reveiw, you don't need to cram.
I tried it both ways. Cramming sucks.

You say "relearning". Is doing something over, not reviewing? You are talking about the depth of the review. You are trying to seperate the phrases "not good" and "hella bad" here.No, cramming is staying up all night the last two weeks of the semester trying to relearn everything you covered because you never bothered to keep up with it once your homework was done.
Going over is a review, regardless of time spent. Cramming is reviewing.Going over the material every week or two but not having to really look at it is call reveiwing. If you reveiw, you don't need to cram.

Cramming sucks, but I blame studying all together for that matter. I sit back and overhear the "grade/book smart" groups test each other.
