How much sleep do you need or get?

[VOLatile]

During the week 4-6 usually. Weekends a little more. I have a friend who takes ambien because she has trouble sleeping & I know when she takes it. I get some crazy texts in the middle if the night.

A few nights ago I took Zzzquil (Nyquil's sleep aide) and a melatonin pill (chemical produced in your brain that causes sleep). My roommate said I had a full blown romantic conversation through the ceiling with my neighbor upstairs. You can hear every word from both apartments (I have to be careful to not watch porn when she's home).

Awesome.

No. Over weight for me is 15% body fat. I'm 6'1" 178 (as of this morning) and I've not checked in a month, but probably around 11% body fat.

I've always been healthy. Never smoked. Anything. I do drink in moderation, except during football season.

For me, sleep is quality, not quantity.

you're a lucky man.

also, do I understand it correctly that Michael Jackson's cause of death was sleep deprivation? seems the induced coma from the drugs wasn't actual sleep. interesting.

Need 8 and I normally get 7

as seems to be the case with every day off, last night was 9. I can get by through the week on around 6, but by the end of the week, it always catches up to me. The hard part will be making myself get up early on Monday morning (four day weekend for us here) so I can get to bed at a decent time on Tuesday.

I get anywhere from 6 to 7 hours a night.
