Tell me about your sleeping pattern.

How many hours of sleep do you need to feel fit? How many hours of sleep do you actually get? Do you catch up on sleep at the weekend? Are you a good sleeper?


When I started posting here I was on a long looong stretch of sleeplessness, which is also why I was posting so much (even much more than now, often over 50 posts a day). Only later on medical reasons were discovered for the sleeplessness.

I have since gotten much better at sleeping. But over the last 2 years or so I have found that I need even more sleep than before to feel as fit. I'm currently at the point where I feel fit when I get 10 to 11 hours of sleep. Luckily I can easily fit this into my work schedule by turning in early or sleeping in late, depending on the day.

How many hours of sleep are you getting?
