How Much Sleep?

[clayton86]

How much do you guys sleep at night. Iv found my self in a new sleep schedule actually more like nap schedule. For about a month now iv been averaging 3-4hrs a night. I wake up on my own wide awake no need for an alarm. I don't ever get tired either like I used to it kinda paid off these past few days working 18+ hour shifts for the mission we just had it was nice not having to adjust my sleep at all. Some of the guys here all they do is sleep like they seriously sleep 16+ hours a day they sleep all night and day even when on shift. I don't know how they do it I hate sleeping more then 7-8 hours I feel like I waste the day if I sleep to long at least that's how I felt at home here I almost wish I could sleep the deployment away like some of these guys lol.

How many hours of sleep do you guys get I'm sure there's gonna be some of the younger guys that probably sleep all day. I don't think Snook knows what sleep is I always see him on here when I'm on and i remember hes 7hours behind me and hes up at 2 or 3am in the states and then he goes fishing I don't think he knows what sleep is lol.

[Bluebasser86]

I average about 6-9 hours during the workweek, about 2-4 on my days off during the summer when I get up early to fish.

[Lund Explorer]

About 5 hours per/night. I couldn't even tell you the last time I relied on an alarm clock to wake up.

[SirSnookalot]

I sleep on average about 4 hours, honestly it isn't enough, it was when I was younger. I don't go to bed, I fall asleep lol, my body clock wakes me at about 1:am. I leave to go fishing at various times that evolve around tide change and weather, mostly leave the house at 3:30 or 4:00 am., and almost always see other people fishing who got there before me.

[tomustang]

I have a very inconsistent sleep schedule, at times I can sleep 23hours and sometimes it's less than two.

[Captain Obvious]

My sleep schedule is so out of wack it isn't even funny

[bayouXpress]

my kids dictate my sleep schedule.

[tholmes]

I average around 7 hours a night. I used to be able to go on 3-4 hours a night for weeks on end when I was younger but, these days, I need my sleep.

between 5 and 6 hours a night. Less on weekends, I have been fishing "overnight" rather than getting up early and heading out. On Friday and Sat night I may leave for the lake at 9-10pm and fish all night....take a nap at 2-3 if needed, and head home by 9-10 am or so....take a nap for an hour or two and go again.

[BASSclary]

I go to bed at 3 am, and wake up around 11 am, so a good 7 hrs for me.

[NoBassPro]

usually not enough

[NorcalBassin]

I shoot for 7 hrs +/- 30 minutes. Our bodies generally need 6-8 hours to "recover" with the majority of our healing/rebuilding occurring between 11 pm and 2 a.m. Clary... this means you need to quit doing late night internet research and go to bed by 11:00 or you're just cheating yourself out of some lacrosse potential. Same thing for weight lifters and athletes... regularly lose sleep and you lose performance.

Before kids? 8-12 depending on how hard i partied the night before lol. Now? 3-7 reguardless if its a weekday or the weekend. I cant sleep past 8 am if my life depended on it so it all depends on when i get to bed which depends on my work load for that day and how my kids are acting when i get home.. So 3-7 is about right.

I go to bed at 3 am, and wake up around 11 am, so a good 7 hrs for me.

11-3=8

Tom

What he said. In my younger days, about 5 hours was all I needed. These days at least 7. Trouble is, I don't always sleep that well...

[JigMe]

Before my daughter, I was probably doing 7-8 hours during weekdays and 4-5 on weekend. Now, I am getting 3-5 hours depends on my daughter's schedule...

[clayton86]

funny how kids will do that lol I rarely got up with them though if they were really fussy and my wife couldn't get em to sleep my magic arms would. She would try to get me up at first and id just lay there and tell her shes the one with boobs not me I'm good for diapers and that's it lol so I got to sleep lol.

[BASSclary]

11-3=8

i swear to beer i wasn't drinking god, LOL

[Scorcher214]

Usually 7-9hrs. I wake up around 10:00-10:30AM. Most mornings i wake up at around 10:30am every morning. And on average, I go to bed around 2 am. I used to go to bed at 11pm-12am and wake up around 8am every day but when I got a different job that I didn't have to work in the morning.

[Gatorbassman]

I wish I had a sleep schedule. I work weekend nights. A 10hr and two 15hr shifts. With 9hrs between clocking out and back in. On Saturday I get 7hrs of sleep and on Sunday I go to church @ 1pm and only magage 3 1/2 hrs of sleep. Then on Monday I sleep for 4hrs and force myself to wake up so I can get back on the day schedule so I can get up early on Tuesday and go fishing.

If I'm guiding on Monday I leave work early and drive to North Carolina. I guide all day and get to bed around 10pm. That puts me at about 34hrs with no sleep. Good thing I only do that 4 or 5 times a year.

[Traveler2586]

Well here it is 02:32 AM and I'm still up, went to bed at 11:00 pm and just lay there. Last night I got no sleep at all. This has been going on like this for many months, the Doc gave me Ambian CR to help me sleep and it worked for a short while, now nothing I need help, I'm like a zombie during the day. I need to jump start my body clock.

Doc thinks it could be stress???? Stress - WTH I'm retired, what stress?

[CKFishin]

4-6 unless I am dead tired I will take an extra 1-2 nap after work...

[Bankbeater]

Usually around 6 or 7 hours.

[royal0014]

I work a 12 hour night shift, plus an hour drive. Work 2, off 2 weekdays, and then 3 day weekends. I rarely sleep more than 6 hours, day or night. But lately I sleep better on my off nights.

Having to work sucks.....having to work nights sucks more......

[Daddyodo]

4-5 I have a condition called Menieres Disease and one of the symptoms is excessive ringing in the ears. I have had this now for over ten years. Cannot remember the last time I slept a full night . I take a nap everyday at lunch. About 20. Oh yea, I also have sleep apnea. Sucks getting older.
