How many hours do you sleep?

[Meso_z]

And is it that "crucial" for growth as they say?
Personally I can get away and have gotten away with less hours of sleep, as long as I up my cals a little bit to aid in recovery.

discuss.

[makaveli25]

Got to bed around 11-11:30 get up at 7.

[purenaturalstrength]

sleep at midnight, wake up 5am

horrible for recovery they say

[The Wizard of Truth]

I only get about five hrs a night and work 7days a week so rest isn't great. My ideal week off work would be each day training, back to bed, watch some films and eat loads and sleep loads

[Schmoff]

roughly trying to keep 7-8 hours

[Dr Dutch]

Sleep less, quality goes up. Sleep longer, quality goes down.
It's like the grams-per-pound protein rule, it doesn't matter except when it's excessive....

Infants   …….14 to 15 hours
Toddlers ….12 to 14 hours
School-age children ……10 to 11 hours
Adults    …..7 to 9 hours

ANd that is what they said.

Ok, but a bodybuilder doesn't need more sleep, maybe more rest but that's a different thing.

That's kind of sad. I am far from a ball of fire in the morning but a good night's sleep followed by a cup of coffee and I'm ready to go. The coffee isn't a necessity either

I guess it would be worse if I knew how feeling rested actually felt and never felt it again.

[Dr Dutch]

I tried working out early in the morning one time (because I read Bill Pearl did it, I think), but it's horrible. I can hardly lift my toothbrush, let alone a dumbell...

[dyslexic]

My whole life I have never slept well. I am a very light sleeper.

I could set an alarm, but that is pointless. I'm gonna wake up before it goes off anyway.


I can take naps after a workout, but not for long.

i fell asleep this after noon and went to the gym 10 minutes after waking up

i could only squat my 10 rm squat for 3


sleep kills strength

THIS!!!

 

[_bruce_]

From 6 to 12 hours.
It's all in the head... though I would recommend 8 hours to be safe.

[freespirit]

7 hours.

But I can workout late at night, take a quick shower and sleep like a baby immediately. Friend of mine can't sleep if he trains after 7 PM...

[Man of Steel]

Asleep by 10:00PM up by 4:30AM
