Doctor...

 

I just got up at 4...fell asleep around midnight last night, gonna go get a morning session in.  Tonight hopefully I can get closer to 8...Thursday will be doing good to get 5-6.  Then Nasser Night Friday will hopefully see me get no less than 10.   Same Saturday.  It's not consistent but probably averages somewhere around 7.5?

Usually try for around 8 or so.

[dr.chimps]

just because people sleep a certain no of hours doesnt mean they have to or even should.

8 hours for example is TOO MUCH according to recent studies and can be dangerous.

Hehe. You're talking out of your ass again. Too much sleep dangerous!? I'd wager that most people are sleep deprived. Have you even looked at the sleep literature (and not the news headlines that appear every week), the peer reviewed journals? People have been studying sleep forever and the amount of studies done is unending, and despite all of that, sleep and our need for it is not fully understood. If you 'need' 8 hrs sleep, you probably do. If you get by on 4hrs a night, you're probably selling yourself short in some ways (eg. advanced aging comes to mind) but you'll probably function ok, so don't worry about it.

IMO if you dont have enough willpower or feel like doing an hours worth of cardio combined with low cals i would say a person is sleep deprived. If im sleep deprived all i wanna do is eat when i 'should' sleep

[Monster81]

i just wake up whenever i feel i had enough

[A2daMIR]

5-6 on a regular basis cuz im always busy between my job, bodybuilding,personal training and being doorman at a nightclub on weekends... but usually once a month im like fuck it i shut off my phone , stay in for the night and sip half bottle of nyquil and pass out till whenever the next day... which would be usually 10-12 hrs sleep...

I have sleep apnea, used to sleep like absolute dog shit and was always tired.  Now i have a CPAP machine and I sleep like a baby.  If you snore REALLY loud or stop breathing momentarily while you sleep, you may have sleep apnea and should get it checked out.

20 hours, i need all the energy i can get for calling out poundage bullshitters.

so you are doing your average post count of 45 per day in 4 hours?

Regariding your online time of 75 days, 14 hours and 48 minutes i find this hard to believe....

I need to make an appointment to get my apnea checked out too....Wisconsin, did you sleep one night at a hospital or sleep center ? Or did you outright buy the machine? I think you have to go to the sleep center if you want your coverage to cover some of the cost.

"8 hours for example is TOO MUCH according to recent studies and can be dangerous."

LOL. You made the claim, Grand Poobah. The onus is on you to cite the study (no CNN editing, either). You're the 20,000+ post genius. Should be a snap. What do Phd's studying this shit for decades know? They're mere idiots compared to you. In fact, I don't understand why they don't submit their studies to the Bluto Institute for review before they send it on to any learned society or journal.

/you'll find that one study will indicate one thing, another will indicate it's opposite, particularly when studies are being driven by policy agendae. this is an area where there are guidelines but no fixed dilineations.

"Researchers at the University of Warwick's Warwick Medical School studied 10,308 British civil servants in two different time periods: between 1985 and 1988, and between 1992 and 1993.

With seven hours seen as the optimal amount of sleep for the average adult, the study subjects who cut the duration of their sleep from seven hours to five hours a night had a 1.7-fold increased risk of death from all causes within the ensuing 11-17 years, according to the research, presented Monday to the British Sleep Society.

More surprisingly, scientists found those individuals who increased the number of hours they slept per night from seven to eight hours or more were more than twice as likely to die within 11-17 years as those who kept sleeping for seven."

Professor Francesco Cappuccio



The research paper entitled: “A prospective study of change in sleep duration; associations with mortality in the Whitehall II cohort” will be published in the  Journal SLEEP (it is already available in the online version of the journal), and the full list of the authors is: Jane E. Ferrie, Martin J. Shipley, Francesco P. Cappuccio,  Eric Brunner, Michelle A. Miller, Meena Kumari,  and Michael G. Marmot.

Yeah well, that snippet was the CNN editing I was referring to. Good work. Gawd, I must be an idiot for feeding a troll like you. Ok. Here's a simple one: Do you know that the FAA and the DOT mandate limitations on flying/driving to ensure restfulness. In fact, on long-haul flights, crews are encouraged to sleep, in shift, to ensure preparedness. So, if you feel like taking a chance, try flying with a pilot with 'your' more limited amount of sleep. I will fly with a pilot that has been well-rested and actually lives in the real world. Bonus: Here's a prediction for ya: Insurance companies will, in the near future if they haven't already, start looking into sleep deprivation as a cause(s) of vehicle accidents and comcomitant culpabilities. Sleep tight.

is there anything in this studie you disagree with? if they say 8 hours sleep isnt as good as 7, why would you question that? on what grounds? you dont think a study like that, one of the largest of its kind, is worth anything? why not? can you look up ONE single criticism on the net to that study? just one. cnn editing would be fine.

thanks.

You have to get a sleep study done before you can have a doctor prescribe you a CPAP machine.  You go to the hospital and they hook you up to about 20000 wires and monitor you while you sleep.
