how much sleep do you get????
Started by NismoDDS
I sleep 10 hours a day now that I am accepted. I think too much sleep makes you tired. 🙁

7+ per night.
wow, some of you guys get a lot of sleep! I usually go to bed at midnight and wake up at 5, but sometimes I'll go to bed at 11 if I am feeling really tired.
If this was "Who gets the most sleep" contest, I'd have the lead...
haha thats the time i get home from work.
I just thought of something else to ask. How many of you take naps during the day? I only sleep 5-6 hours a night, but I almost always take a 30 minute nap during the day. The tricky part is keeping it under 30 minutes, but I have a lot of practice 😀. I even do it at school. I'll go into my car or sleep in the library if it is too hot outside. I feel about 1,000% better after I take a nap.
i sleep more now that i'm in dental school. i end up taking about a nap a week, but way more if it's a tough module that week. 🙂
I might take a nap if I have a stressful week. But my body doesn't take "naps"...in other words, when I go, I go....all 8 hours. So I have to have an alarm wake me up, and I'm usually even more tired afterwords! 😴

Hmm maybe we should all start ourselves on the Uberman sleep schedule
Dental school hasn't really cut into my sleep time overall. It just cut my fun time by about 95%.
🙁
I tried going on less sleep and I was doing worse on exams. I took one exam on 3 hours of sleep after a few days of only 5 hours of sleep and when I looked over it I had missed a ton of questions that I knew the day I looked over the test, even though I hadn't reviewed the material since then. I realized that my brain just doesn't fire on all cylinders if I don't get enough sleep and made sleep a priority.
I now get around 7 hours a night and maybe 5.5 if I have a big exam the next morning, but then I usually make that sleep up with a nap after the exam or by sleeping 8.5 hours the next night.

sleep and i are like peas and carrots. i do surprisingly well on little sleep except once during a calc exam i started writing the letter "h" but there was only numbers? i turned it in. i still don't know what i scored on it but i walked out with a B in the course. still, sleeplessness catches up to me and it's straight 19 hours the day after. sleep is a brutal master.
i read sleeping too much is bad. i don't think i care much. 🙄

You should care. Sleeping too much makes me tired, so I resort to more sleeping - which makes me even more tired.
It's a never ending cycle for me. 😴
hey awesome, i just noticed you have columbia on your sig. neato, you've decided. 😀 maybe i'll run into you on the subway if i ever visit NY!
You have been paying absolutely no attention to one of the most famous personalities on SDN. She's had that in her signature for ages!😛
aw sh*te. guilty. i don't really stop to check out the girls. it's the boys my eyes are after. 🙄 i'll do better. i'll be equal opportunity from here on out.

I've been getting less sleep because I just discovered Call of Duty 4 xbox live multiplayer.
Mmmm sleep, can't get enough! Usually less than 6 hours though. 🙁 I pulled three all-nighters in a row during finals week...very strange results like I was hopped up on drugs lol.

ah COD4... ruining lives across the globe
I need around 9 hours to function at my best and fully take advantage of my weight training. I set sleep as a top priority, and work my schedule around it as much as possible.
Thanks! where will you be attending? I pretty much knew it was going to Columbia unless some miracle happens and Harvard accepts me...
I got accepted to Columbia on Dec 2nd and thats when I had it up! thanks for paying attention 😉😀

Heh, I just finished playing. I'm on PC though. I just can't do first person shooters without a mouse and keyboard.
I can't help but think that sometimes the human tendency is to try and impress other humans by telling them how much they DON'T sleep. Anybody else feel that this is often the case?
I swear, ever since I was a kid I've always heard conversations of sleep and how much you get and it always, always, always, seems like everybody tries to one-up the next guy...
"Yeah, I'm hardcore, I only sleep 6 hours a night."
"Oh yeah, I'm even badder (banging chest with fist), I sleep 5 hours a night!!!"
"Uhhhhh!!!(Look of stuper on face), that aint nothin, all last semester...I only slept 3-4 hours a night, every night cuz I had to work graveyard...and then, and then...I had to babysit...yeah, my younger sister...cuz, cuz she's got insomnia".
"I SLEEP 1 HOUR!!! 1 HOUR I SLEEP, EVERY NIGHT!!! I'M!!! THE ALPHA-PROVIDER!!!"
"I...DON'T SLEEP, RRROOOOOOOAAAAAAARRRR!!!
(weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth)"
...beware of the me-monster.

awesome dude. i love brian regan. btw, you don't sleep? that ain't nothing.
I laid in my bed from 11pm till 3 in the morning last night staring at the ceiling...i even counted sheep until at least 500...🙁
I usually sleep 5-6 during the week and 8-10 on the weekends to make up/prepare for a sleepless week ahead.
I have had a couple of nights this week where I would drink a pot of coffee at about 6PM and then play video games until 2 or 3 in the morning blasted on caffiene and then get up for work at 5:30. I would still be jittery the next day a work. Still not sure why I decided to do that. Usually I sleep about 6-7 hours a night (and if you are wondering why I do not use any contractions it is because my apostrophe does not work).
Sleep?! Only when I blink.
damn while the average person sleeps 365 times in one year... you've managed to do so 84 million times 👍

i guess going out and drinking almost every night kinda disrupts your sleeping patterns, especially when you work at 8am the next day and work 10 hour shift. dang im pimp
