Sleep - how much do you get?

[Tom]

Do not ask me why I'm posting this at this time of night...

But...

How much sleep do you get a night?

 

[1D53]

Not enough! Normally bout 6 or so hours. Although tonight I'll sleep for 10 or so hopefully.

I got up 9am Thursday and didn't sleep till 6pm last night though, all thanks to some uni work.

 

[westcoaster]

all depends what shifts im on, if im on lates then about 8-9 hours but early shifts around 6-7 hours, but the first early normally 4-5 because i cant get to sleep?

 

[AlexS]

5 or 6 is the average.

Saturday > Sunday its usually about 12 - 15.

Friday > Saturday can be as little as 4 or even less.

 

[Craig]

Not enough, during the week when I'm at work I'm lucky to get 7. Usually a bit more at weekends and when I'm off.

I used to suffer from insomnia too, although it's not too bad at the moment. Back then I'd be lucky if I got more than 3 hours sleep.

 

[Guinness]

Mon - Thurs = 7 - 8 hours

Friday = 4/5 hours depending on whether I'm needed at Great Central.

Sat / Sunday = 10/11 hours. Then I put all those gained hours into working a 10 hour shift with a 10 minute break.

Horray.

Weekdays> 10PM till 6:30AM

Weekends>11PM till 10AM (or so)

Not going to comment on my sleep here...

 

[LondonBVE]

Mine is Weekdays -> 11.30pm to 6.30pm
Weekends, Public Holidays and School Holidays -> 2.00am to 10.30am (Sometimes 3am)

Various hours, but it can be a rather small number of hours on most occasions. Granted, last night by the time I got to bed for some sleep I was shattered, had a good 12 or so hours sleep. Bloody deserved it too.

Can't sleep? Get out there and do a decent day's work. Get up early to prepare for the day's shift, travel for numerous hours (last week I was spending 1h45m+ each way a day to go to work) to get to the workplace, do a decent bit of hard work, spend some hours getting back home, see how bloody tired you are then. Do that all week, starting Monday and finishing Friday, see how exhausted you are then, how much you deserve a weekend off. If you've done a decent lot of work (and that does NOT include sitting in an office chair for the day! I do of course mean doing something that is more physical than typing stuff into a computer all day whilst taking several coffee/smoke breaks, with the possible risk of RSI from lifting coffee mugs all day) all week, you'll be glad to see your pay in your bank account, more so to have the weekend away from work (although your mind tends to go back to thinking about work) and doing something you like doing with your wages.

Some people are so lazy they can't sleep because they've been consuming food and drink all day, so there's a whole load of energy floating about them still when it comes to going to sleep...

Insomnia? Surprised those with it aren't claiming Incapacity Benefit...Sponging prats they are too...

So does that mean westcoaster is "lazy" because all he does is work 9 hour odd shifts as a guard?

Sponging prats they are too...

Cue sarcastic comment from Craig...

[Daniel]

I get a good 4 or 5 hours a night.

 

[Jordy]

Approx 9 hours most nights

 

[morgantyreman]

The stig sleeps more than me. LOL

 

[37372]

About 6-7 hours sleep weekdays, usually about 6 on Saturdays (depending on when I need to get up to catch the early morning trains () and on Sundays about 8 hours, I dont get enough!

 

[Kris]

Well it's 04.50am and typically I've barely slept going from a late shift to early after a couple of days off.leepy2:

Just finished reading a book instead.

Oh well - probably have to hit the Red Bull later :blob7:

 

[Beaker]

Depends on the day, for example yesterday i went to sleep at 11 after the lord nelson trip , and had to be awake at 7 to get to norden at 08:30 for 20188 running

i know how you feel kris when you done a couple of trips it hits you like a brick in the face, at least my end of the train you can get some shut eye, unless the spy's are out an about, (why do managers think it is ok to hide behind walls, on bridge's to see ur doing your job properly a**ewipes) on this subject the other day a manager on the driver's side jumped out from behind a waiting room with a speed gun, driver sees it, thinks **** someone is going to shoot, hits the emg brake and duck's. funny as f**K
