how much sleep?

<p>is reasonable to have each night after being up for like 16 hours?</p>

<p>8 hours, hopefully...</p>

<p>Different people need different amounts of sleep. Regularly they recommend that you do get 8 hours, but I've known people that do just fine with 4 or 5.</p>

<p>is like 7 hours okay? hah because that's what i'm going to have to be doing.</p>

<p>You'll probably be fine. :)</p>

<p>As much as you can get...?</p>

<p>12 hours is my preference..</p>

<p>I WISH I could sleep ten hours a day, but I've been doing about seven (11:30 - 6) for two years now. I'm a little drowsy in the morning, certainly, but I drink coffee when I wake up so I can be conscious during my morning classes.</p>

<p>Before I drank coffee, I drank iced tea, which does have a little caffeine in it - just enough to wake me up. </p>

<p>I think you'll be fine, janemac.</p>

<p>I have to get at least a minumum of 8 hours of sleep. Anything above that I feel great, anything below that I feel like crap.</p>

<p>I usually go from 10:20-6:20</p>

<p>yeah... a lot of smart kids i know got 4-5, id rather be a healthy kid and get 7 and if i dont get into the college i want to atleast i slept well...</p>

<p>if i deprived my self of sleep and still didnt get it, that would just plain suck</p>

<p>I get seven.</p>

<p>I like to get 8 or 9 hours of sleep. If I get less, sometimes I like to take a 20 minute nap in the afternoon.</p>

<p>It doesn't matter to my body how many hours I get, it's what time I wake up.
I can get 12 hours of sleep, wake up at 6:30, and just be physically exhausted.
Or I can get 4/6/whatever hours of sleep, wake up at 6:30, and be as tired no matter how many hours I had gotten...
I am not a morning person.</p>

<p>if you have to be up for 16 hours, then you only have 8 hours to sleep before you have to get up again. I think 9 hours of sleep is best.</p>

<p>what would you do if you detest coffee (and soda and juice)? and tea does nothing for you? (i think i'm immune to it, having drank it since birth).</p>

<p>I get 5 :-((((( 1:30 - 6:30......</p>

<p>^ (port) I would take a look at the "how do you stay energized" thread</p>

<p>To add on to my last post, if I only got 4 hours of sleep but woke up at 10, I wouldn't be tired at all...</p>

<p>um i normally get around three and i am fine</p>

<p>3ish to 6</p>

<p>I got fiveish on weeknights last year and felt marginally okay.</p>

just get going. I don't drink coffee or anything with caffeine in it and I get by on 5 or 6 hours of sleep a night just fine. Taking a shower in the morning helps though.</p>
