Wow, I'd be six feet under if I was most of you. I sleep 9-10 hours each night, any less and I feel terrible. That's why I go to be at 6:30 p.m. and get up around 4:00 a.m. at the earliest. I have always slept a lot, even as a kid.

She's still keeping you guys up JDB? Wow, she's going to be like me I think. I put my mother through hell too because I wouldn't stay asleep.

Ya Colleen, shes getting better but has a little way to go yet. Wife and I are still taking shifts I'll stay up till bout 1:00 or so then she will take over from there.. 5AM comes to early.....

commented 12 years ago

Colleen

I sure hope she grows out of it. I'm surprised she hasn't found a sleep pattern yet.

commented 12 years ago

JDB

I think the biggest thing now is she gets herself wedged in a corner and can't turn out of it, If we can get there soon enough we can just pull her back to the center of the crib all's good but if we don't it might take some time.

Thank you arryoudini, I appreciate that compliment. I was raised by my grandparents and they MADE SURE that we respected people, saying yes mam, no mam, yes sir ,no sir etc. ALWAYS thank people for things they do for you. It's in me and my wife and I made sure our children and grandchildren were brought up the same way.

You need more sleep Colleen LOL.

No. More sleep then that and I wake up tired and groggy. I hate that feeling.

commented 12 years ago

SG is right Colleen :) . Your body needs more than four hours a night. even if you feel tired and groggy, with a little exercise those feelings will go away. and your up and ready to go :)

I've been this way all my life. I'm really OK, lol. Even my doctor says so ;)

commented 12 years ago

Colleen

The same. 7 days a week I get the same sleep. Sometimes I'm lazy and stay in bed for 6 hours but then my back starts to hurt so I get up. My body is just not use to laying prone for so long.

commented 12 years ago

Ms Sinclair

Wow. I'm like a walking zombie if I only get 4 hours sleep.

commented 12 years ago

I agree with you Ms.S
I get grumpy, i stumble, i'm half awake, i get sleepy in the lectures, and i get poked by friends every minute to stay awake.. I try to sleep as much as i can peacefully.

commented 12 years ago

leeroy

There are several studies on this lately, I know they are now linking the amount of sleep you require to be functional to genetics. I wish I could operate on only 4 hours like Colleen.

commented 12 years ago

Colleen

"I get grumpy, i stumble, i'm half awake, i get sleepy "

This sounds like me if I get more than 5 hours.

commented 12 years ago

Colleen

It could be Leeroy. My father didn't require much sleep either.

commented 12 years ago

doublehelix

he ha . Your lucky then Colleen, like Leeroy said, i wish i can be like you :) that would give me an hour extra every day to do left out papers ;)
Maybe i should start practising :D

commented 12 years ago

No dh, it's not something you can practice, lol. Sleep til you wake up. Your body knows what it needs. :)

commented 12 years ago

That's true. i think i'll keep to my routine... i don't think i can sleep any less than 5 anyway :)

I've always envied folks who could sleep 7 or more hours a night....to me that would be heavenly! I myself sleep from 3 to 5...I'll wake up and start thinking too much to be able to go back to sleep or I can't get to sleep most nights due to excessive brain activity...can't seem to shut it off! There are worse things in life though....as long as I feel rested I'm happy!

Karma: 258971

I don't like going to bed at night. I hate it! there's always something I want to do like come to akaqa or read or watch television. I refuse to look at the clock late at night. My husband is the same as me and he'll say, "Itsmee, it's 2:30 am, we've got to go to bed!" so I brush, floss, wash, gown up, and go to my sleeping place. I have to take 2 xanax to go to sleep. Otherwise I just lay there and stare. I get up at 8:30. that's 6 hours. not bad. sometimes I nap.
