      about 6-7 hours i think. whats really funny about that is that i used to be an insomniac for about 14 years pr sg and only recently learned to sleep properly and need a bunch of meds to help bu anyway i found out that 9 hours is absolutely perfect, 8 is okay, 7 is meh, less is just not nice. its crazy to me how i could not sleep at all and work a 12 hour shift when i was younger and now if i sleep less then 8 hours im like wow this sucks

      4 hours with oversleeping. Usually get around 5.5-6 hours cause I procrastinate going to bed.

    Just a note, if soemoen on twitch tried to stay away for multiple days they would be forced to stop by twitch staff as self-harm is against their ToS. And sleep deprivation is absolutely self harm.

    I worked with rats in Research. Depends on what they were used for. Sometimes they get to go back to the breeding colony. My job was to keep them tame, aka play with them and handle them. Feed and weigh them dailey and monitor them for behavior changes. Some where in that lab there is a picture of me with a rat in each pocket of my lab coat, one on my shoulder and one in my hand. They were very sweet

    I spent pretty much all of last night on multiple trains trying to get home after my second flight got canceled. Didn't get much sleep, but I did get a chance to listen to a lot of sci guy podcasts that I had downloaded. Ironically enough, this was one of them.

    Okay but what about over sleeping? I need 11hrs. I can easily sleep 11-13 hours and have slept for 16 a few times. This is during my early twenties (im currently 24).
    I once slept for 13 hours, stayed away for just 6 hours, then slept for a further 10 hours.
    I hate sleeping so much

    I wish we had more research into the long term effects of sleep deprivation. In high school, I spent a little over half a year getting between 1-3 hours of sleep per night. My brain was snapping into microsleep so often, and the whole thing gave me what I now recognize as psychosis symptoms that lingered for years after I fixed my sleep schedule. My body also freaks out when my schedule shifts even slightly now. Losing more than an hour of sleep for more than a couple days at a time causes disorientation, exhaustion, headaches, and wanting-to-die ideation.
    In hindsight, I'm surprised that nobody around me really seemed to notice that I was so sleepless back then; probably because I was already kind of weird and asocial, and I dedicated most of my confused and very limited energy to keeping up with my schoolwork. The worst thing it did to my grades was cause me to fail a final hard enough to drive an A grade down to a C.
    The extra hours of study and wikia binging were not worth what I did to my body. I'm pretty rigorous about bedtime now, and have to use sleep medication to keep everything in check.
    So, uh! Try some sleep! Please do that!

    Everyone at my job who worked 3 Shift , day, evening, night on a rotatibg shift gained weight.
    And as a possibly autistic person my sleep was cobstently at 6 hours and eventually various factors also led to stress and i had to change job.
    And it took almost a year for my body to adapt.

    I try to sleep at least an average of 6-7 hours but with adhd, insomnia and working a night job I have weeks were I've only averaged 3 hours per day.

      @@BaddeGrasse That I can manage on 3 hours (it doesn't always look pretty) or that I can average 6 hours while working nights? For that it's having a biphasic sleep cycle. Like clockwork I usually wake up 3 hours after I fall asleep. I try for 4.5-5 hours but that only happens on good days or when I take sleep meds. I get up for a couple hours and do stuff around the house, then go back to sleep for 1-3 hours.

    My (non-scientific) theory concerning the question why it seems that before the late 1800s nobody really asked the question of "why do we sleep" is that before the commercialization of the light bulb (starting in the 1850s) you couldn't really do a lot of things when it was nighttime (light through fire [e.g. candles] in comparison are not bright enough for most activities). So spending the time in which you can't really do anything with sleeping probably doesn't raise too many questions about the necessity of sleeping. But if you have electric lights there are a lot of things you can do even at night. You still get tired and worn out though and therefore need to sleep. So this might have started the question of why it even is necessary. Especially in combination with the increasing obsession with productivity and efficiency under capitalism. The cynic in me also finds it interesting that the late 1800s was also the time when slavery was more and more officially abolished. And if you have to pay your workforce it might be very interesting for you to see how little sleep you can allow them without them dying to maximize profits.

    I slept 5 hours 48 minutes which is pretty good as far as my averages. Woke up feeling pretty good no joint pain which I am attributing to overnighting in my hammock.
