How many hours do you sleep on average?

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

Done it · 1st December 2007, 09:59 PM

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.

JohN Dee · 1st December 2007, 10:19 PM

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 · 2nd December 2007, 12:47 AM

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

treefeller · 2nd December 2007, 07:38 AM

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

Sean Freeman · 2nd December 2007, 09:44 AM

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!!

clementine · 2nd December 2007, 10:22 AM

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.

newguy18 · 2nd December 2007, 10:24 AM

When i can't sleep I listen to enya yes it sounds girlie but it helps me sleep.

ropensaddle · 2nd December 2007, 11:05 AM

Sleep who has time for that?

Drouin Tree Service · 2nd December 2007, 12:09 PM

TrevMcRev · 2nd December 2007, 05:22 PM

5 to 6 Mon to Fri, 6 to 7 Sat, 8-10 Sun.

A baby due in a few weeks might change things though

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.

Therrin · 2nd December 2007, 08:26 PM

I really love kids. Some day I'd like to have a couple.

But that day isn't right now. I'm actually still living in mortal dread that some day I'm going to get a phone call that says "It's yours!".

Everytime an ex calls I get scared....

ronnyb · 3rd December 2007, 01:41 PM

6 hours tops. By the end of the work day it's 10 or 11 pm (summer hours) A couple of beers and dinner, shower, hit the sack, up at 5 to do it all againl.

Eric Frei · 3rd December 2007, 05:23 PM

In summer it's frigging daylight at 4.30am here, pressed to sleep past 5am.

The experts say alcohol doesn't give/provide a good nights sleep?

I dont get plastered so wouldn't know and sure dont like hangovers for a work day either.

Never used to get hangovers till hit around 21yo ... was like bullet proof in those young years.

ditto 21st birthday present 1st hangover, however a very wise Canadian introduced me to the miracle macdonalds cure. for some reason eating their crap sorts it straight out.

Eric Frei · 3rd December 2007, 09:41 PM

Probably that dehydrated pattie thing they think is beef sucking up all the alcohol.

Therrin · 4th December 2007, 07:04 AM

I don't think I coul've ever done McDonalds afterwards...

Menudo maybe, or kimchi, but not McDonalds.

ronnyb · 4th December 2007, 01:09 PM

Ahhh menudo! Cow stomach never tasted so good. I used to live in Salinas, CA. Could only find it on Sundays though.

Eric Frei · 4th December 2007, 06:40 PM

Cow stomach!

Subway is good, hot dogs are borderline, but an Aussie legend is ...........

Pie floater

Jeff Darby · 4th December 2007, 06:48 PM

probably about 8 not counting on forced trips to the toilet to take care of business,sometimes if we have a humungus tree I get a bit tense and loose a little sleep, But hey it's just me.

ronnyb · 4th December 2007, 11:58 PM

Menudo is made with tripe- cow stomach. The broth makes it sooo delicious.

TREE-SURFER · 5th December 2007, 10:15 AM

Generally, about 6, but that all depends on what the wife is wearing....

newguy18 · 5th December 2007, 10:43 AM

5 or 6 unless the neighbors are partying in that case about 3.

TreeCo · 5th December 2007, 11:18 AM

Five or six but more on the weekends....

shaggs · 5th December 2007, 03:38 PM

6-7 but love a sleepin when I can... Prob once a week.
3 kids don't help, but I'd never complain about that.
The good things about being tired constantly is that you can drop off in an instant!!!

Eric Frei · 7th December 2007, 08:55 PM

It's official, under 5 hours is not good and neither is more than 9 hours.

Too much sleep as bad as too little when it comes to your health
