How many hours do you sleep on average?

newguy18 · 8th December 2007, 01:36 PM

Well then the past few nights have been really unhealthy.I got maybe 10 hours the past 4 days.

tip_top · 11th December 2007, 02:15 PM

I usually get five to six hours, but I'm a fan of the siesta....the crew I work with goes to lunch every day and takes upwards of an hour, I bring my lunch and eat it at the job in about 15 to 20 minutes then take a nap in the back of my truck till the crew gets back...the weather is perfect here right now.

Over here same, winter is perfect weather. Dont wake up like a bear with a sore head do ya?

tip_top · 12th December 2007, 04:59 AM

only when they sneak open the topper on the back of my truck and start a 200t over my snoozing head.

newguy18 · 12th December 2007, 01:24 PM

hahahaha that would be funny.

clementine · 20th September 2010, 07:49 AM

Still the same, I'm back in Portugal on my own at the moment, family are in England.
It would seem that I don't need any sleep until it's time to get up for work and then I get a huge craving for it!

Maybe I should get to bed earlier

newguy18 · 20th September 2010, 08:44 AM

I sleep a lot more than I used to.on sundays I usually sleep until 2 or so in the afternoon.

clementine · 20th September 2010, 09:55 AM

I bet you dont sleep much the night after though.

How can you possibly sleep so long? What time do you hit the sack?

Brent Ferris · 20th September 2010, 03:41 PM

I used to get by with 6 or 7, less when I was dating; but last year and this more like 7 1/2 - 8 most nights, weekends included, Wife is up several times in the night, but I hit the pillow, asleep within 30 sec mostly, and not aware of anything til morn. I sleep heavy,

newguy18 · 22nd September 2010, 11:37 PM

Hey dude what exactly is a strump and how do you remove it?

rob31 · 27th September 2010, 07:38 AM

I sleep about 8 or 9, I don't know how people get by on 5 or 6.

Depends on what happens saturdays,if its a big takedown probably 9 or 10.if its just small removals or pruning about 12.

Garry Brockley · 1st October 2010, 04:28 AM

well lets see i worked a twelve hour day yesterday and the day before, i went to bed at 10pm both days and here i am at 2:30am wide awake studying and trying to sort out my website so 4 1/2 ish on average i wish i could sleep longer but i wake up and the brain starts racing.

oh well 3 hours i will be back to it have a good day guys climb safe.

TrevMcRev · 7th October 2010, 07:44 AM

About 5 hours for me....

jmcg.insight.gardens · 7th October 2010, 11:10 PM

usually about 6 on average, sometimes when studying I might get four.

I was worried about not getting enough sleep, they say it's not good for your health, but looking at this thread I'm about average with everyone else.

So, they reckon you sleep less as you get old, I wonder how much sleep we will be doing then............way we are going it will be about 2.

REJ2 · 9th January 2011, 07:51 AM

8 works for me, more would be better.

Ozone · 9th January 2011, 12:43 PM

Depends on the job, sometimes it's hard to get three before someone interrupts ............

Brother Bob · 17th January 2011, 08:14 AM

I sleep more now then when I was employed. I guess about 7 hours. After Lunch, I need to get busy again or else I'll nod off. LOL!

newguy18 · 5th February 2011, 03:26 PM

Sleep? sleep is for the weak,i find it more efficient to go 24/7.

fishobob · 22nd February 2011, 11:29 AM

These days as I'm working out pretty regularly doing three heavy lifting and two kettlebell cardio sessions a week I find I need at least 8 hours sleep. Any less than that and I find I don't recover well at all. If I'm on a break from the weights I can get by without less sleep though...

newguy18 · 22nd February 2011, 03:57 PM

I haven't slept in 4 days, I've been in severe pain from my bad knee lately.I'm about ready to amputate.

Treemonkee · 17th April 2011, 01:55 PM

Usually 8 hours all depends on how hard the day was.

tassiesteve · 17th April 2011, 09:31 PM
