8 Hours Sleep

[Rockslinger]

Are you getting 8 hours sleep a night? Yet, another study has proved that one needs to get 8 hours sleep to be healthy, wealthy and wise. This study has to do with obesity and bone density.

I did a poll a while back and was surprised that at least a couple of TERBIES say they manage on only 2-3 hours of sleep.

I read 7 hours is good enough.

Eight hours in a row? It's been years!

I probably average that each day but I take long naps on weekends to catch up for my losses during the week.

A lot of people are sleep deprived in our 24/7 modern society. That is why we have so many fat people (sorry to be so blunt) and people with weak bones.

My old man used to say "You can sleep as much as you want when you are dead"

me too!! but instead of trying to go back to sleep, I read or listen to something till I get tired. I also sleep in the afternoon.

I got the healthy and wise part but not the wealth? I guess if you make more $ you would lose more sleep as well.

Six hours on a good night. Four or less on a bad one.

4 usually 6 if i am lucky.

I wish I was getting 8 hours each night. But that sounds right.

I usually get between 5 and 6. Substantially less than 6 and I feel tired. Substantially more than 6 and I feel just as tired. So around 6-7 is optimal for me. Damn, I just broke a finger typing.

I'm content with 6 hours but wouldn't mind 8 hours though. I just couldn't bring myself to get to bed that early. lol

I dont know about this - not to argue science - but whenever Ive been sleep deprived, the fat just melts off me. I know not a healthy way to lose, but it worked - tho usually am sleep deprived because of debauchery while awake!!!

 

[FunSeeker27]

I'm usually around the 5-6 hour mark, but then again, I catch up a bit on weekends and get my 8hrs then
