Sleep- How much do we really need?

I have been up a total of 18 1/2 hours due to my work schedule and I am sitting here about to go to sleep sitting up so I guess I will get off of here for now and try to sleep. I hope that I don't sleep long as I need to do a lot of work on here to make some good money for payouts too. I am afraid if I don't go to sleep right now that I am going to fall over on the desk before long.

I usually sleep like 8 hoiurs of sleep. Oh don't fall over the desk try to take a good nap and sleep couple of hours maybe that should help :).

A nap did help. I wish I could get 8 hours of sleep. I would love that!!

We are built to have awake time and then the resting time. It varies and normally if you need an alarm to wake up then you are not getting enough sleep. Wanting payout is one thing however you make much more money in the real world. Good luck in finishing out the month!

I agree with you and I do usually need an alarm to wake up. I do have a job in the real world but I also sell on Ebay and have some other online sites that I am making money from so I had to get them done too. I can't let ebay go over a day as I have payments coming in etc.

I work midnight shift and have kids, so I usually function on 4 to 5 hours of sleep a day. I have been up for over 30 hours before due to work and kids. I know the feeling of wanting to fall asleep standing up !! Get some sleep girl, before you fall out of your chair !!

Poor you! That is a long time to be up. I don't know that I could do that. It is hard to work late hours and have kids home ,etc. It seems as though it is always not the right time to sleep. I did finally sleep for about 2 hours that day.

Atleast 6 hours of sleeping is necessary. I think u hav 2 consider "health is wealth".

I get 6 hours of sleep a couple of nights per week and that is about it. I know sleep is important but I just don't seem to be able to get more.
