Are you getting the amount of sleep you need?
« on: November 14, 2005, 08:49:51 pm »
I'm afraid for Bones and Chad - both guys who have stated they have problems getting enough sleep.  If this study is true, George may have to take the rabbits away from them ;)

I think the person who wrote that bit of crap is sick, stupid, and fat.

The appetite thing is somewhat correct but they have the wrong reasoning.

You're asleep - you're not doing anything, not working up need for fuel.

You're awake - you are doing stuff, working up need for fuel.

More awake = more need for fuel.

Most people don't know how to eat for need and eat for satisfaction, thus people who don't sleep well are often heavier than those who do sleep well.

I know I can probably attribute 10-15lb of my weight to not sleeping enough and eating while I'm awake at 4am.

i probably get about 6-7 hours of sleep a night which is pretty average i think. although im not fat or sick, maybe slightly stupid but thats obviously from playing too much videogames =P

well let's see I get 4 - 6 hours sleep a day and I weigh 150 lbs so I dont' think lack of sleep makes a person fat.

I've also got straight A's going on in all my classes this semester so i really don't think that lack of sleep makes you stupid either.

I've only been to the doctor maybe twice in the last 5 years and that's when I threw my back out so  don't think that lack of sleep makes a person sick either.


however I have noticed the my spelling in these forums is getting worst so I'm going to come to the conclusion that the lack of sleep only makes your typing suck.........

I am willing to accept any gov't funding to test this study...  ;D

I don't know what hours these 2nd and 3rd shifts you guys are talking about might be, but they sound late to me. I work 7:30 am -4:00 pm . I'd hate to work later than that.

Different people need different amounts of sleep so "too little" sleep is relative. I had a sleep study done a month ago at the insistence of my wife due to snoring (no, I'm not fat, I breathe like Darth Vader when I sleep which I think is cool but my wife sadly does not). Anyhoo, the results I got back showed that of my time asleep, I am in the deep, restful sleep mode 92% of the time. So if I get 6 hours of sleep, most of that is restful. Others may only get 60-70% of restful sleep so they need 8 or 9 hours to get the same amount that I get.
So I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm better than you.
I've got a fever...

I heard about that book.  I thought I was already in there, but I can't remember what for. 

Oh, and the ass hats are on backorder.  They gave me some excuse about having to rush out some Bee-Yoak hats with a button on them.

The main reason I can't sleep is because every time I nod off Seph's mom is at my phone with a booty call.

If you've seen Seph's mom's booty, you'll know why I disappear for a week on a Seph's mom booty call.
