i basically run an "everyman" sleep schedule
= 3 hours a night and naps throughout the day
apparently I'll have a heart attack and die before I'm 30 (according to people)
but apparently you sleep more efficiently if sleep deprived
from my experience it works XD
how much sleep do u guys get
btw uberman too hard, i tried it and died
Why would anyone ever do that to themselves?
I usually get 6-7 hours. Occasionally 8 or 9 on weekends.
on weekdays I usually sleep 11-7:30, so 8.5 hours. on weekend, probably 9 hours.
I dont usually nap. If I do its only for about 15-20 minutes or maybe 30.
My favorite nap spot is the shorter sofa or the floor of my room with a pillow.

school. life. Its gotten better recently though, averaging 6-7 hours now
october was really bad though
If you need that much to get through school, you're doing it wrong. And even if you don't, you're still doing it wrong, because no research I've ever seen suggests that odd schedules like that do anything except reduce mental performance.
:P Well. I still spend more time awake. If I do this for the rest of my life I could potentially "live" for over ten years "more."
But yeah, I've gotten yelled at for falling asleep in classes, lol.
But what do you actually do with your extra awake time that you couldn't get done with a normal sleep schedule?
It actually takes me the better part of an hour to fall asleep initially no matter how tired I am to begin with, and I usually wake up 4 or 5 times a night, so anything except doing it in one big chunk would kill me quite quickly.
I think the point is that you become able to fall asleep much quicker when you're not getting enough sleep.
Sure, but you spend the waking hour in a sort of semi-comatose stupor unless you injest a lot of your choice of stimulant.
midnight to about 8am, except when I have 8am class. In that case I am up at 7, and in bed by 11.
I find it easiest to get to sleep when I derail my brain and give it something else to focus on
Mostly, a familiar audiobook. Something I know already so I don't stay up waiting to know what happens next, one or two ~30 min tracks in the playlist at a time. Been using the Harry Potter series read by Jim Dale for a while, cycled through a couple times. At anywhere from two to ten min I'm out (but oddly I remember exactly where I left off), it takes a little while to run through the series.
Otherwise my brain wanders and I end up thinking about things instead of sleeping.
I try for 8 hours, from 12am - 8am. Sometimes more, usually slightly less.
I'm worthless the following day if I get less than 4 hours.
lots

This is so windy.
i dont sleep its a waste of valuable time
Sleep for 4.5 hrs/night, and it has worked for a few years. 1:30AM-6AM, I think I am just wired to need less sleep than post people.
I drink a pot of coffee when I wake up (takes like 1.5 hrs to drink the whole thing) and then am fine all day. I'm guessing being a functional alcoholic has something to do with it.
To be fair, this disease suggests you can go 18 months with barely any/no sleep.

I usually sleep 7 hours. More on weekends, lots more. :p Kind of a waste, I think people spend as much as a third of their lives a sleep, lol.
At my old job I was sleeping from 2am to 8am, so 6 hours. I try to get quite a bit more sleeping done at the weekend - today I went to bed around 3 and got up at 12?
I've had a bit of insomnia in the past: as the MSN crew knows, I was sleeping from 7am to 12 at one point. This was during the final year of university so I assume it was mostly due to stress and having literally no lectures, leaving me free to structure my days in any way I chose.
I like to watch David Attenborough shows before bed.
i live off caffiene, nicotine, and burritos.

Somehow I doubt any of us have insomnia fatal familial...
12 to 7-ish, so about 3 less hours than I should.
