How many hours do you sleep on average?

Me, mainly around 6 hours to 7 hours, rarely 8 or more.

Sleep? By the time I finish, make calls,

, check ebay.

.cook dinner,

, I used to get some now I'm stuck here.

, then the birds wake me because of all these trees I planted.

. About 5 then 1 maybe.

I try to go for 6 - 8 hours a night, to much and too less of that is bad for your long term health...

Having said that, if I get interested in something on the computer I'll stay up til 1 even though I've gotta be up at 6

.

There's something about a rainy day that makes me hibernate and get a really good deep sleep roughly around 10 hours...

newguy18 · 1st December 2007, 06:47 AM

usually 5.I usually get up 4 times a night.

Yep, about 5 hrs for me as well, after working, im normally checking emails etc, and get to hyped for bed

5 hours if I'm lucky, haven't had good nights sleep for about 2yrs, too much caffine, too much beer, too much stuff going on in my head!!

6 hours average, a few tinnys

and some Whisky

before bed

ensures sleep 'til I need to go pee!

Also need the booze to dull the senses cos the missus snores like a bear in a trap! Whats worse is she can be asleep within 2 minutes of her head hitting the pillow.

So I tend to stay up a bit longer and sink the sedatives!

Sunday is always a late one for some reason. Reckon it stems back to me youth when weekends were fun and partys and never wanted to go back to work on the Monday.

Might!? It sure as hell will!

The missus did most of the early shifts cos she wasn't working (maternity leave) but you still get woken up by the noise.
Man can those little critters make some noise.

A nappy change is no fun in the wee early hours.

Doesn't last long though (seems like forever at the time) and there great fun to bring along.
