    I have a Knock-Me-Out-Of-Beauty-Sleep alarm that goes off @ 7am, then the second alarm goes off @ 8.15 then my moblie alarm goes off @ 8.30, that's the wake up one!! Then I'm In work @ 9am, get home 5pm, usually fall asleep for an hour or so half way though neighbours, then I'll go to bed @ 1am.

    The worst thing I find is if i get an extra hour in bed I feel awful the next morning... :(

    but normally still tired after that

    apparently an hour before midnight is worth 2 after :confused:

    i go to bed just past midnight on most week nights then up around 8:15. weekend i tend to vary depending on where i happen to be sleeping and what im doing :D
    i find that if i dont get enough sleep one night then i get headache late the next day with the severety being inversly proportional to the amount of sleep i get

    I like to have about 8hrs sleep if possible, but currently on the days I have lectures (tues, wed and thursdays) I get about 7hrs. However, I have a fool proof rule, if I'm working the following day I try to always get more sleep than I'll work, which is easy for a 5hr shift, but during the summer when I was working 10hr shifts it was trickier.. esp. when they were on concurrent days, so my days were pretty boring... out of 48hrs I'd sleep for 20, work 20 and have a whole 8hrs for getting to work, washing and having a life.

    Still always think of the money! the true safeway employee motto: "Proud to serve Scotland" or "The friendliest store in town" never did ring right. Although "I'm here cause of the overtime" would be another popular one :rock:

    Jeeso, is that legal?

    You must've really raked it in from that, well the tax man'd love you for sure.

    I couldn't handle that much Safeway'ing... I'd end up stabbing customers. 40hrs in a week + 5hrs on a sunday is my limit

    (I love it how safeway dont count Sunday as part of the week...)

    Once again... 120hrs! :jawdrop:

    17hr days?! was your store 24hrs or something?

    It was more a case of working 7am-4pm, 10pm-7am, 4pm-10pm, 7am-4pm... All week.

    Including night rates and sunday rates it ended up as roughly 120 paid hours.

    Oh and I was a student at the time - Barely got touched for tax :D

    I don't really have a regular sleep pattern, I tend to sleep as required. What I mean is I only get up when I need to in the morning, although never later then 1145.

    The minimum I need to survive a day without falling asleep though is five and a half hours.

    Sleep, what's that?

    I realy do prety good now days, averaging somewhere between 6-7 hours on school days. I can do a stint of 4-5 hour days (usualy about a week) and survive, but then I need a while to recover. Had to do that last year to get some school stuff finished up, but I had all summer to recover :p

    Durring the weekend I get about 8-9 hours, which is lovely, but isn't going to last very long (got loads of stuff comming up FAST!).

    What ever happened to the days when people used to get a minimum of 8-9 hours of sleep?

    /me nods off in computer chair :sigh:

    I sleep about 6 hours. I get up at 05:30 in the morning and go to work at 06:15.

    In the weekend I stay in the same rithm (even if I go out) and take a nap in the afternoon otherwise I'm tired all week.

    You can train yourself in sleeping less, but you'll have to be fit (do a lot of sports), eat healthy and stay in the same rithm. In the end you can do with 4 hours a night. The good thing is that you can set of a bomb next to you and still sleep!

    I absolutely hate waking up in the morning with less than 5 hours of sleep.

    I can sit in the chair and just doze off even if the teacher yells "Max Listen!"...

    One day I slept 1 hour cause i was like broadcasting my radio on my IRC channel :rolleyes: and my face was absolutely PALE.


    THe only time i slept for 9 to 10 hours was on the night before the exam lol :blush:

    I slept around 6 to 8 hours now. On friday and saturday nights I sleep 11 to 12 hours and wake up feeling tired lol :p

    I like to get a good 8 hours a night on school night I usuly go to bed at about 9:30 and I always wake up on or before 6:00. Sometimes I like to g et extras sleep and "save time up" like I will slepp like 10hours a night and on the weekend not sleep firday night and then saturday night get about 6 hours and then go back to normal sunday night. I will do this if I am going to an o/ lan or summit or just plain have things to do on the weekned which sleep cant interupt. But it depends on the perosn on how much sleep you need. If i start to sleep way more than I need for a few weeks I wake up in the middle of the night and I wont be able ot go back to sleep for atleast a few hours.
