Many people are surprised when I tell them how much I sleep. Usually, I sleep 8 hours per night, except for Saturday night, and I also sleep 2-3 hours every day after work. That is 10-11 hours of sleep per day.
I cannot help myself, if I feel tired and I don't sleep, I get irritated and I am a pain in the butt for everybody.
How much sleep is too much sleep? How much time do you sleep?

@gofsey I never feel refreshed, I am always tired, but I am not grumpy and have no headache, after a good sleep.

@rappeter13 That is the funny part. Some days are diamonds as the song goes, but there are days when I feel like something the cat brought in. Usually, this tired feeling disappears in a few minutes of moving around the house.

I sleep far less than I did when I was younger. I'll be lucky if I get 5 hours but I often have a short nap in the day.

I cannot see how I would correctly function with a constant 5 hour sleeping days.

@sprite1950 I have heard that the older you get, the less you sleep. But in my family this was never true.

@rappeter13 I am in my late 60s now and retired so it's probably related to that. When I was younger I would sleep 7-8 hours like you.

@rappeter13 Who said I wasn't grumpy . I require 6 - but only because I am fully awake after 6. I do not sleep those 6 hours all the way through. If I get a good 2 or 3 hour pockets of full sleep at any time, I can be ok .

@much2say It sounds good, but probably is not the best thing.

My usual sleep is around 6-8 hrs. But sometimes if I sleep late like 2am, id wake up around 11 or 12noon. That would be 9-10 hours of sleep. May be too much would be if you sleep at night continuously thru the day like 15 or more hours of straight sleep hahaha
