How Important is Sleep?

[GettingScrilla]

Im catching like 6 hours or less a night now, down from a consistent 7. I can definitely feel the difference...How many hours you guys sleepin?

[zr2786]

Sleep is overrated! you only need like 4 hours

[robmpink]

I think they say 8 hours a day. Me, usually 6 or 7.

[LegitBet]

12-14

[dlweaver]

8 is necessary.... at least 6. anything less and your body is more likely to develop problems

That's about what I get...though recently a lot less.

[Straight Cash]

I dont know how important it is, but I know I dont get nearly the recommended 8.

[EmpireMaker]

sleep is very important it affects your body both mentally and phyically, you should try to get at least a solid 8 hours a night

[stevenash]

I sleep from about 12:30 wake up 6:30
That's enough for me.

[Mudcat]

I average 8 hours sleep a night. I think that's good.

[RubberKettle]

6-7 hours is enough for me. Any more and I feel drowsy.

[tomcast]

6 or 7 hours is good

[BRAVES1985]

i get 5-6 but im a morning person so its all good i cant wait to get the day started

[dngf]

generally around 7, seems like enough I am refreshed and ready for the day.

[Wrecktangle]

The older you are, the more important it is and the harder it is to get it. The other side of the coin is exercise.

[JMobile]

After working graveyard, my body limits itself to 6 hrs. I can never get 8+

I hate you....lol

6 or so a night for me is about it, though I'm usually tired all day long

[Brewers in 7]

If i sleep more than 8 hours i wake up feeling like crap, body got too used to a lack of sleep..

[Lion4Life]

Usually around 6 on a good night, sometimes less.

[EaglesPhan36]

6-7 during the work week, try to up it to 9-10 on the weekend. Mitigating factor is how much my girlfriend flops around. Told her if she's that restless, she can burn some energy biblically.

[belvedere86]

I need 8h. the more the better

[Boscoe]

i used to need 8 FULL hours, then had a baby and am happy with 4 straight hours at some point during the night.

[mw00]

I hardly sleep

[thebertshow]

I get 6 hours and that does the job

[jnickell100]

Actually the 8 hour a night is just a myth. Doctors started saying 8 hours because it breaks the day up into 1/3. 8 hours for sleep, 8 hours for work and 8 hours for leisure. There have been numerous studies in which the individuals did not know the time of day and the average time of sleep was 10 hours.

But every person is different. For me, i need to get about 9....which everyone should easily be able to get(from 10pm-7am). If i get any more or less then i feel fatigued.

[zam77]

I can't sleep for more than 8 hours unless I am hungover. Then I sleep for 18.

[Mikail]

It depends on the season for me. I notice I sleep more during the winter months.

[daimoshokage]

sleeping is vital.. don't place your bets when you're sleepy..

[Dutch]

I got back and spine issues, if I sleep more than 6 or so I start to hurt and have to get up.

[shermanator]

6-7 hours is good enough

[Muddy]

Overrated. Take periodical naps, total 4-5 hours per day. Stay productive, enjoying being awake.

[nikevols]

going off of 5 hours right now..overrated

[ejfel01]

It is not important... until you don't have it

[Cookie Monster]

I seldom get 8 hours rest. Only when I am really tired I can sleep 10+ hours; but most often I awake after some 7 hours, and am unable to sleep more.
