We all know what the doctor says - getting eight hours of sleep every night is crucial to good health (and also, good skin! They don't call it "Beauty Sleep" for nothing ;) ). But how many of us actually do abide by that rule?
I'm personally a fan of sleeping - it is the ultimate luxury for me! :D I'm used to going to bed pretty early (am a morning person as well), but of late, I find myself staying up later and later for work, studies,
So nowadays, I'm trying revert back to my good ol habits - be in bed by 10.30 so that by the time I drift off to sleep, I get at least 8 hours of rest.
Speaking of the 8-hours-sleep-a-night rule, I do think that it varies slightly from person to person though. I'm personally the freshest in the morning if I get 9 hours of continuous sleep. Less makes me grouchy for the rest of the day, and more gives me a headache for the rest of the day! Lol!
So over to you! Do you get enough sleep every night? Do you think that the 8-hours-sleep-a-night rule applies to you? How many hours of sleep do you need in order to feel fresh in the morning? Share away! :D
I used to sleep 8 hours a day, but now, am glad that I can get by with 5. Well, Uni life is full, but sleep is no longer an option... Bleh.
ReplyDeleteOh well, I'll just have to hang on for a few more weeks...
5 hours! Oh dear!! You bring back memories of my horrid studying stint last year! Do hang in there and after that do rest well! :D
ReplyDeletei need at least 7 hours for working days, otherwise see grouchy old me!
ReplyDeleteif weekend or travels, i can make do with lesser, and i don't suffer from grouchiness :P
i do think it also depends on the quality of sleep and not so much on the length, of course if u have both, that'd be great! i now can't sleep cuz neighbour's silly dog keep barking in the middle of the night!
I actually need 10 hours. That's so hard to get.
ReplyDeleteI sleep almost ALL day (preggerz kase!) haha! But if I oversleep (more than 8 hrs) - I feel tired instead of being energized! :(

I usually sleep 61/2 to 7 hours. I practiced sleeping early for a while but can't stick to it. :( I should start again!
ReplyDeleteI don't get enough sleep every night! But the funny thing, if I completed the 8 hour sleep rule, I will wake up with a huge headache! The perfect for me would be around 5 hours! ( I sound like a grandma) :P
ReplyDeletePlue: Ohh!! Same here... i can get away with less sleep on weekends and when travelling! Hehehe!! :D
ReplyDeleteYeah I know how that feels! My brother's dog will screech all night long if there's a thunderstorm and in the morning I'm about ready to make dog soup! lol!
Jyoan: I know right!! Sleep is such a luxury!
ReplyDeleteShari: Oh! I get a headache too if i sleep too much! >.<
ReplyDeleteYou're having a baby... CONGRATS!!! :D
queerpinkfish: Haha lets try together!! I'm SOOO addicted to TVB movies! :P
