How much sleep do you need ?
When I was working I probably got 6-7 hrs quality sleep each night and since I've retired thats gradually built up to 8-9 hrs each night with nothing whatsoever to disturb me, and boy do I feel so much more relaxed and refreshed with that extra couple of hours each night.
Having seen how little quality sleep some of our Posting Game addicts get each night prompts me to ask the question, "How much Quality sleep do you need each night and how many hrs undisturbed is your ideal ?

Re: How much sleep do you need ?
I feel much better if I get 8hrs undisturbed sleep. Unfortunately, barking dogs and unruly neighbors tend to shorten that amount.

Maybe you need to buy a gun, at least that could sort the dogs out but maybe not a good idea for the unruly neighbours however tempting.

Re: How much sleep do you need ?
Not a lot it would seem. I regularly cope on 5 hours a night with sometimes a lot less. Nothing to do with posting games though, just real life work.
I've also managed to work three straight days without sleep although I did die on the fourth and spend the day catching up.

I've always been a bad sleeper. I don't think I've ever slept right through the night, unless passed out through boozing which doesn't really count. If I wake up twice I consider that a good night. I reckon on average I get somewhere around 6 hours probably.

No harm in that Don, Margaret Thatcher ran the country on four hours sleep and other famous people who survived on 4 hrs included Napoleon and Florence Nightingale.

Imagine how many more battles Napoleon could've won if he'd just got an hour and a half more.
And Thatcher? She lay awake most of the night thinking about ways of f**king Scotland over.
Herbivore......, get those formations out yer head, buddy and get some sleep.

Thankfully I'm not famous. People who normally become famous in my profession are famous for being dead.

I think my poor sleep is probably why I'm such a miserable, argumentative sh*t.

Re: How much sleep do you need ?
I don't think you'll find that Lucy posts on here anymore other than the posting game and the Prediction League.
I'm not sure what actually motivates her or what she does other than play that stupid game which can get very addictive if you have that sort of personality.
Having said that Blueblood, you appear to be quite an addict yourself, are you sure you're not a little frustrated that Lucy always beats you.

I try and aim for 6-7 hours sleep. I do wake up alot though which is why you'll find me on here at odd times.

I managed one hours sleep last night - if that. Usually would get a decent nights rest, although have suffered sproadic bouts of insomnia in recent years.

I tried to reply to this just now and had that damn log-out after submitting and lost all my work, but there wasn't much said so didn't think of copy and paste etc. Tried to say have got hold of some special tablets to help the cause that 'guarantee' results, but skeptical about the efficiency of the product. Tried before others that were said to be effective, that proved not above useless. I'd be fortunate to get two, maybe three hours sleep up to now so only hoping these do the trick as it's imperative I required some more rest.
