How much sleep do you get?

[million$$$smile]

Counting hours of sleep is like counting hours of work. Just b/c you're doing it doesn't mean you're getting it done.

Quality of sleep dictates how productive you are the next day.

- Get a great mattress (not good, but great)
- Check your cycles (you sleep in 90 min periods)
- Add greens into your dinners (anything that will increase the iron in your blood)
- Workout in the morning or noon, not at night (all that blood pumping through your body)
- Drink some OJ when you're feeling burnout setting in throughout the day
- If you're stressed at the end of the day, do some meditating and relax before you get into bed. Camomile tea is great for this. (remember, you're an ant on a rock floating through space among billions of other rocks, among billions of other galaxies. None of this is going to matter in 100 years. There's plenty of worse things that could happen than Betty in accounting splattering ink everywhere. Push the cartridge in until you hear the click Betty, UNTIL YOU HEAR THE CLICK.)

About 4 hours. Usually go to sleep at 1AM and wake up at 5.

I've always been like this, don't even have to set an alarm. Love it. Gives me more time to be productive and I don't drink caffeine.

Every now and then I get in a vicious cycle that gets hard to break. In that joyous moment right now.. seriously need and want to try meditation but it just not happening for some reason ha.

If you don't listen to your body you will pay the price.

And if you're sacrificing your sleep then you don't manage your time well.

That being said, I rarely get my 8 hrs of sleep lol

 

[Shamrox]

Usually I sleep around 7 - 8 hours in a weekdays and 8 - 9 hours in the weekends. Sometimes I have nights when I sleep less, like 3 - 4 hours but it doesn't happen often and if it happens, next day my productivity drops drastically.

This is my usual too, though we recently had our second little girl so it's been a bit choppy lately.

For me, cardio has increased the energy i have in my everyday life. Give it a try, run some laps around the track, get that heart pounding and let that blood flow.

Keep hustlin' till we make it!

zzzzzzzzz.

I like 50 Cent but this video is crap.

3-5 hours of sleep, the mark of an entrepreneurial superhero... Good in theory, not in practice - At least not for me anyway...

Like anything and everything, try different stuff out see what works best for you..

I know I was fairly convinced a while back that I should sleep 4 hours a night but now refuse to get anything less than 7.5 hours.

The real of it is, at least in my opinion, is that if you can't get your shit done in 16 hours a day you're doing the wrong shit.

auuggghhh! I'm on night shift and I'm a zombie if I have less than 7 hrs of sleep and became dependent on caffein (coffee) to keep me awake. Normally I sleep 5 hrs a day on average weekdays and 8-9hrs on weekends (beyond 9hrs and my head aches).

 

[ehben]

Without quality sleep, my whole day is over :/ Usually around 8.30 hours.

 

[domefs]

Hahaha. All these motivational videos made me sleep like 3 hours for a year, then I burned out and my body gave me some
bad signs.
Eat good, work out and get some fresh air into your room before you sleep!
What has helped me was sleeping in a cold room.
Now I sleep around 5 hours during the week and 7 hours on weekends and everything is fine!
Wish you good sleeping guys - and don't play games with your health!

On the the topic of waking up without an alarm.

It seems whenever I tell myself I will wake up at "X" time, i seem to ALWAYS wake up plus/minus 5 minutes of that time

Just had to share

I have the similar thing. Except I usually wake up minus 2-20 minutes. But if I go to bed very late it doesn't happen.

same, I can generally get up at times I set my mind to before I go to sleep at night unless its really really late

 

[Marc B.]

I wake up 6 to 7 hours after I lie down. I'm awake after that, and it's difficult to push it any longer. It's a blessing in disguise.

 

[Waspy]

Function well in anything between 6 and 8. I start noticing if I get less than 5 (I don't function at all)

5 hours per night and a 1 hour nap immediately after my miracle morning routine... Then get out and about to start my day.

I tried to do 5am wake ups and keep going the whole day, but I was always sleepy the whole way thru. Factoring in and taking that one hour nap has made all the difference in my energy and mood. And the hour always goes by sooo slow.

6-7 hours typically.
Recently I hate to increase it by two as I had a temperature spike and bad cough. Flu season in my country apparently. Yikes.

For me its 7-9 hours could be thats because I am still young and fairly active. Also I find that when I exercise a lot e.g. gym, I sometimes need 10 hours especially when training legs. I have in the past experimented with less and got by fine on 6 hours but that was during exam times at school where all forms of exercise and unrelated activites to studying were suspended hence I spent very little time not sat in a chair.

Its best to just experiment and your environmental factors and lifestyle have a major impact on the amount you need.
