Thread: How Much Sleep Do You Get a Night?

11+ hours of sleep? Ain't that unhealthy?

I'm in my 20's and usually get 7-8 hours of sleep a night. If I try to get by on less, I start becoming immune to alarm clocks.

Yes it is Morten. You can read more about the problem known as oversleeping here.

Teen (16) and get around 7-8 hours of sleep a night, excluding weekends where i get around 12 hours of sleep. I love oversleeping I hardly ever feel tired

Despite my insistence on staying up until at least 3 AM every night, I still get the recommended 10 hours a sleep a night (on most nights). It's a horrible habit I've developed being in college. I'm around people almost every night until about midnight, but I still like to have a significant amount of alone time before I close my eyes for the night. The result is me sleeping in until at least noon nearly every night unless I've planned something for earlier. Either way I kinda like it.

Wow, how is that even possible? Are you doing polyphasic?

No, just basic sleep. And some coffee there.

It feels absolutely horrible, but then again, it usually does no matter how much I sleep.

I've only done this little recently, and will soon go back to having a bit more. It's just a small period where I have both so many activities that they otherwise take up all my free time and me being relatively depressed, and not being able to sleep well.

Yeah, sounds like hell. I hope you sleep more soon!

Try and find a solution, you're not helping your day to day life, let alone your lucid dreaming. Find someone to talk to and try to relieve some of your responsibilities, find a way to break the cycle

My friend says he usually bricks it all night, head hits the pillow and he's out until morning, about 8 hours. But last night he had a cold, and woke up 5 hours in feeling really cold, so he got up to put on an extra shirt.
He then fell back asleep and almost instantly he said, he entered a dream and became lucid, as he knows the place and it was off completely. (it's a canal with apartments beside it and a road. He saw it as all brownish marble and the canal was clean- none of these are true)

He then said he jumped around a lot and flipped off walls, really lucky as he doesn't know to stabilize a dream, then he tried to summon an M1911 handgun into his hand, by staring at his palm. Of course this didn't work, but funnily enough I appeared in front of him, with the M1911. He said I aimed at his head and shot him after he kept saying "no! no! I'm finally lucid!".

Lol, trollan when I'm asleep.

I'm 17 and average 9 hours a night. I love those extra long REM periods right before I have to wake up =D

I can't sleep past 8 hours, no matter how dark a room or how quiet it is. If I go to bed at 11, I wake up at 7 no matter what.

I'm 20 and rarely sleep for more than 6 hours, even when I have nothing to do, unless I am tired from fight practice or sick.

Five to six?
A year ago I was moderator on a forum and on a game server, back then I only slept 1 or 2 hours a night. I usually got some sleep here and there during school tho'

Not enough.

Hey guys, I managed to FINALLY fix my sleeping schedule. o.o I was going to bed at 11 PM and waking up at 5:15 AM.

Now I go to bed at 9:30 PM and wake up at 5:15 AM. 2 and a half more hours of sleep

I'm a teen and when I have school I usually get 7 hours of sleep (I would like to sleep more but I can't sleep so early and I have to get up at 5 am :// ), on weekends I usually get 9 or 10 hours.. I hate it when I don't get enough sleep..

I usually get between 5 and 7 so I marked down 6. I hate not sleeping enough but I hate going to sleep most nights.

about 6 hours on school-days. As much as I can manage on weekends, normally between 11 and 13 hours.
16 years old.

One of my two alarms has a count-down, and I usually get in bed right around T: Minus 8 hours. So I get anywhere from 7 to 8, depending on how quickly I get to bed. (It's a surprisingly high number for a college student, I've found.)

19 for age.

I get anything from 6-9 hours sleep. I can never find enough time to myself, especially during the night. Having schooling commitment sucks. I'm a night>day person.

It depends, if it's a weekday then 6-7. Weekends 10+. (marked 8)
Just love traveling to my own dream worlds in weekend morning WBTBs.
Example:"Oh, it's 9 o'clock, well I can still sleep a few hours."
Most of my lucids have been achieved, with this method.
