I was wondering how many hours people need to be refreshed as it is different for everybody.
Also, how many hours have you been without sleep?

Just a question; Can you change how many hours you need to sleep or train yourself not to need sleep?

[i realise this may have been done before]

I try to get eight, usually I get seven. I've realized that even if I sleep for twelve hours or more (which I did a lot over vacation) I still never regained any energy. I have no idea as to what is keeping my eyes sleepy from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to sleep.

I've never gone a whole night without sleeping, although I intend to try it someday. I hear it's very strange and wierd, as if the day just hasn't ended. I've also seen some of my friends without a few days of rest, and they were really losing it. One of them was writing inane things on his arm. But he's a wierd one anyway.

i slept 11 hours last night. (i needed it) and, today i feel quite groggy and stuffed up. hmmmm. and, guess what? i still fee sleepy..after my computer fun, i'm going to go out into the crisp, brisk 15 degrees air and walk. that will get some good 'ol oxygen into my poor brain. yep.:D

I slept 13 hours last night! So take that!

I'd like 9 hours a night, but i usually settle for 8, or 7 and a half. I've slept all day before when i was sick, and i've been 80 hours without sleep before.

:D REDOUBTABLE: sleep much?!:eek: :D

8 would be optimal, but I only get 6-7. Damn all the tempting late-night shows, and school! *shakes fist*

Most I slept: 18 hours. Came home from camp, fell over and was legally dead until 4pm the next day. :D

Wow, NenarT, you beat my record at least twice over. I've only been up for 2 days ... 80 hours is more than 3 days! Yikes! I will have to try again .. I saw many strange things and thought many thoughts during my conscious vigilance...it was great. :cool:

I even thought I was underwater at one point, because my eyes were not focusing. And my paranoia skyrocketed, because all my senses were alternately fluctuating between hyper-awareness and La La Land cottoncandy. My moods were tropical; laughing my head off at 4, irritated and sullen at 5, and braindead by dinnertime.

:m:

yay! and, speaking of late night shows, ZWAN is premiering their new song, Honestly on David Letterman ..thursday night!! i am so excited about this, i can't sleep!!:D

COOL!! I will be sure to watch it, even though I've got exams the next day! :D

i hope you can, please do watch it! thanks.:) and, their new video for it is ethereal and beautiful! in otherwords...it's great!:D

i will be there with bells on (on thursday night at roughly 11:40 C.T. (the band is always the last guest to appear on those talk shows) .

11:30pm for me, and I'll even record it :D

:D aw, you are sweet, sweet, sweet. i wish all robot's were as kind and gentle as you! billy and the gang will mesmerize ya....watch out! he's got that chrisma thing going on!:D

i will be there with bells on (on thursday night at roughly 11:40 C.T. (the band is always the last guest to appear on those talk shows)

Are you going to be on the tele?:D

You guys honestly like ZWAN?! GET OFF THESE FORUMS!! I heard/seen them in concert, and they were soo..horrible! IMHO, anyway...

Anyhoo, yeah, insomnia makes you hallucinate. My skin was numb at times, i was giggling incessantly at times, and i looked like CRAP! I also seen the hotel's mirror run down the wall like mercury.. :eek:

:mad: bad Nenar! *smacks Nenar's nose with a rolled-up newspaper* if you were here i'd pin your arm to your back till you shouted "i give up". btw...when and where have you seen ZWAN play, they've only recently started up with their tours, you must have caught one of the first few. i am going to their Chicago (at the Metro) gig next week. CAN'T WAIT!! but..wait, why am i telling you all this...? :bugeye: :D


and, you, Pollux, no....silly, NOT me on t.v. ...i meant i will be parked in front of it with bells on! :D

I'm sorry, i just HATE THEM! They gave me a headache. I seen them at a festival of sorts, December 15th, in Philadelphia. First Union Center, an event called the "FEASTival" sponsored by our local rock station Y100 (100.3 FM). It's called feastival cause alot of the money goes towards the greater Philadelphia area food bank...

The bands that were there:
Queens of the Stone Age
Zwan
Seether
Good Charlotte
New Found Glory
Coldplay

All were good except ZWAN! AHAHAHAH! THEY SUCK. IMHO, anyway...

I get 7 hours a sleep. But if I get longer I'm more grouchy the next day for some reason, but getting less doesn't really affect me

Never fails, bed at 2:00 AM, asleep by 3AM, hitting snooze at 10:00 AM.

i'd like 11, i usually get 7 or 8, but, if i can get up, i do my best on 5.

I was leaning against the wall, and I felt like I could melt right through because it felt like solid water. I remember giggling a lot too :D And I remember seeing myself in the mirror, and trying to talk to my reflection and walk through to the other side. I also got really weirdly philosophical ... I sounded like Yoda, because I couldn't put real sentences together, hahaha!

???! damn - In my absence I have missed great threads :( :mad:
be with you tomorrow

-Av :m:

Yeah, I know what you mean, Av. Where've you been, we missed you :p

7 is fine. 8 is better.

I once went 50 hours with no sleep. I found myself halucinating. and unable to do simple task, like read.

i wouldn't call it insomnia.... but some nights, when it gets late.... instead of sleeping i find that i HAVE to clean. just have to. and if ive cleaned evrything surface wise, then i go under the surface, ill mop, scrub the carpet, bleach the walls.. and when thats done, ill take everything apart and reorganize.. as long as im cleaning. and it usully dont end till sun-up. lol. happens much more often in the warm months than the cold ones.


:confused:

nighfall have you got obsesive compusive disorder?:(

not that i know of. lol.

thats just what it sounds like is all

if im not woken up i can sleep right through the night from about 11 night time til about 4 in the afternoon....but usualy i get woken up at about 12 on week ends!
i dont feel tired if im woken up eirlier, i just get grouchy without realising it!?

if i just take naps at regular intervals my whole life, then i'll never need to wase an 8 hour stretch of just sleep, that is my theory...and it is working
