I do fine on about 6.5.
If I'm training a lot, I try to schedule myself a couple of hours in the afternoon (I work for myself so this is sometimes possible). I always have to sleep considerably more in the winter (I'd like to double it!!!).
its safe to say that I train some martial arts. Im not that good really, but most people really suck, so I feel ok about that - Sunfist
Sometime blog on training esp in Japan
As much as possible, I like sleep... Yawn

During the week I am lucky to break 5 - 5.5 a night.
Needless to say I sleep in on weekends.

interesting topic...i usually get between 4 and 5 hours sleep a night...a lot of ppl have told me that this is bad .,....i think they are probably right but jyou know i grew up on a farm where its early mornings always but i live in the city where its late nights so what can you do...also i find that meditation and breathing excercises make a bigger diff than how much sleep i get
the more u know the more u know how much u dont know
I usually sleep 6-7 hours during the week and 11 hours on weekends (hehe). They reckon that people should get 10 hours of sleep, instead of the old 8 hours. I heard there was an investigation on life expectancy against the amount of sleep and people who slept 5 hours on average lived longer than people with 6 hours of sleep. Of course there are other major factors in these statistics, but actually quite many people from the past were tested and it was concluded that people with 5 hours of sleep can expect a longer life than ones who sleep 6 hours. However, it doesn't mean that they aren't tired! And above all, this doesn't mean really anything, but it's quite interesting.

I am much like you Serpent, I do better on 7-8 but I can get by on 6 for a few days.
My father however gets by on 3 hours a night.
I have read a couple of studies, I can't remember what it is my fathe rhas where he can do 3 hours a night just fine, but its a "disease" of sorts. Anyway, I read one interesting study that said the human body is designed to get 4-6 hours at night and about a 2-3 hour nap in the afternoon.

I'd tell you to go to hell, but I work there and don't want to see you everyday.
Your REM/dream cycles are nearly 4 hours long, so it's good to get those 8 hours. As you get older, however, your need for sleep diminishes somewhat.
Souljah - I used to have insomnia, at least as bad as yours. Now I'm too exhausted for insomnia. Try Melatonin or Ginko before you go to bed. I might have some more advice for you, PM me if you feel like it.
I usually get 5-6. I do fine on 3 though, which is what I usually get on the weekends. I go to sleep late, and out of habit, I always wake up early. Studies I've read say the 7-8 is optimal, but you can get too much sleep, which is bad. The more you sleep past the optimal period, the more your body wants sleep.

On weeknights, I go to bed somewhere between midnight and 1am. My alarm goes off at 8am, and I usually slap the snooze (which goes off about every 9 minutes) till around 8:45-8:50).
On weekends, I go to bed sometime between 3am and 5am, and get up whenever I happen to wake up (which usually winds up somewhere between 11am and 3pm.)
I could probably stand to get more sleep, but honestly, I feel pretty rough in the morning no matter how much I get.
thanks fa jing i'll try those out.
It may be the bed im sleepin in, its like rock, I like having a harder bed (the whole 'better fo the back' theory i guess) but i dont think I sleep well in them, when I used to stay at my aunts house she had one of those beds that are so soft they jus close in around you,
I never used to have any probs sleeping there.
i'll still look into the stuff u mentioned

Geez, I would so agree with that. Sometimes on the weekends I sleep for like 10-12 hours, and then I'm exhausted all day. My body's like "no, don't do stuff! Sleep more!"Originally posted by SevenStar
The more you sleep past the optimal period, the more your body wants sleep.
I heard recently that sleeping over 8 hours may be cause cancer or something.
Every study yields different results. I would say sleep the amount that makes you feel best.

I heard that a REM cycle is 1.5 hours and you need at least three, therefore 4.5 hours is a minimum. Don't know the validity of that though, it was just in conversation.
