I generally sleep about once per day, to answer the original question.

I had a race today and had to get up at O'dark thirty to get there. Plus, it's in the eastern time zone, so getting up at 5 am was kind of the equivalent of getting up at 3. I went to bed about 12:30 local time, so I was running on a sleep deficit. I had to drive a couple of hours this afternoon and once I hit the hotel I walked in the door, set my stuff down, lay down on the bed, and boom. I didn't wake up until 2.5 hours later.

Restoring your body and prolonging your health is about the most productive thing you can do for yourself. Of course I’m extremely efficient while awake and not butt ****ing moron’ing throughout my day.

[stevieray]

I take power naps on the weekends.

[Hammock Parties]

6-7 hours usually, 9 or 10 if I feel like sleeping in.

Been shopping for a good mattress the past few weeks. My age and injuries have made it necessary to get a top-notch sleep set-up, an adjustable frame and all that.

Looking forward to getting more rest and not waking up through the night, they say it's life-changer.

A good mattress makes a world of difference. We had a middle of the road Serta mattress and I woke up with a sore back nearly every morning. Switched to a Tempur-Pedic and that went away completely.

Yeah I learned the hard way that you never go cheap on a mattress. It's worth the extra money for quality results.

3 to 6 hours, usuallyy abut 4-5 though. Once in a while ill get 7 in, but thats Super rare. no more then that unless im laid out with the flu. I've tried the working out thing. i have tried almost everything outside of sleeping pills (will not do). It's just the way i am.

It's not insomnia but it's surely a mental thing. Tonight I had dinner with my Lady, had a few drinks, and was pretty tired. But then Back To School came on and I'd rather watch that. (Flunk me? Flunk him! ) And Gattaca is coming on next.

I just don't like going to sleep.

That's not healthy man. I read a study, sorry I don't have the link right now that people who get less than 6 hrs of sleep on avg have a 15 year diff life expectancy.

Personally I have a really erratic sleeping pattern, which probably isn't any better. 2 or 3 nights a week I sleep about 3 hrs a night, and 2 or 3 I get about 9+ hrs of sleep. Other nights about 6-7.

There is not much you can do when you wake up after a few hours and cant go back to sleep. Peoplewith insomnia would love to sleep more then that, but it just doesnt work that way.

I'd love to get a solid 8 in everyday! .

I know man. I do feel the difference after I eventually crash.

I could kinda care less how long I live, TBH.

Sun-Thur I usually go to bed at 9 PM and get up at 5 AM without fail and I get up well rested.

On weekends I stay up till 11:30 to Midnight and wake up around 8 AM.

I used to sleep only 5 or 6 hours a night and I could tell how it was wearing on my body.

Have to take care of myself now so I get good rest. I usually wake up once during the night to take a leak and then fall right back to sleep without fail.

[Eleazar]

About 5-6 hours usually.

I seem to get sleep in 4 hour chunks twice a day. I used to go to bed between 11 and midnight, sleep til 3-4 am and wake totally refreshed. I would go to my office and work for a few hours, and goof off a bit, and go back to bed for a few more hours. Crawling out at 9- 10 AM or so unless there were things that had to be done.

I have a bum leg that required elevating after lengthy periods of time on it and especially after biking. I have found that when it is bothering me that I am prone to nodding out and will often just go crawl onto the couch and take a nap for maybe an hour and I am fine the rest of the day. The naps over the last 2 weeks, with the SO out of town, seem to be getting longer and I am on only 4 hours of "bedtime" sleep a night. I hope this corrects it'self when she gets back in a couple of weeks. If not it's off to the Drs office.....
