You should get enough sleep so that you dont feel tired throughout the day. Alternatively, short naps also counts. If you are constantly exhausted and with short attention spans, unable to focus, you dont have enough sleep.

I sleep 8 hrs myself.

[Lester]

hmmmm... i dun know lei... i will always feels tired no matter how many hrs i slept.. is it somethiing wrong wif my health ??

Was told you need to drink enuff water through out the day as well.

hi bro ..

you mean enough water can make a person less tired ?? hmm i haven been drinking much water.. these few week ...s

[hammy]

army standard

7 hrs of sleep and water parade for almost any activities carry out under the sun .

[neokn]

You'll never get enough even if you sleep 10hrs straight. Tried and observed pple whom did that.

My theory, why spend so much time in sleeping when you will be able to get all the sleep you need when you "lay flat".

[apollo]

Sry for not being clear.

Meant to say if u hv enuff sleep and still tired, it might be due to dyhdration with the body.

The body is experiencing similar to someone hving done excercise and dyhdrated except without the excercise for yourself.

I am no doctor. Just read it somewhere recently. Hv the same prob as well.

4hrs per day isn't enough i think... especially not over the long run

just get about 6-8 hrs per night of restful undisturbed sleep should be fine. I realised that sometimes it's not the length of the slumber but how peaceful it was. So you can try turning off all distractions, eg. handphone, radio, etc... then go to sleep make sure that nobody will disturb you until you are meant to wake up..

For me I always have a lot of dreams which is damn irritating coz I don't feel rested and I wake up as if I just had a really long day

[framerunner]

for me my sleep hours varies. weekdays i sleep 6 hours, weekends i sleep at least 10-12 hours

[AREA51]

hmmm....i sleep more than 7hrs a day with a cup of kopi-o everyday

but i still feel tired.

looks like im worse

4 hours of good sleep is enough for me... as you get older ... it's more of a short nap that counts.

Of course if the days' event is boring, I'll fall asleep .... even when I'm standing!

[hotlemond]

i sleep 6 hours a day. use to it liao.

Despite its weekend i still wake up at 8am.

last nite the $#@*& teh tarik kept me awake till 4am.

I am super stone now..

did i get the spellings rite???

[XPeriment 626]

generally people say 8 hours is the proper amount of sleep.. but lots of people i know have been able to get by just fine with a lot less. Not sure how healthy they are but they seem awake I know someone who cannot sleep more than 4 hours a night... when he does, he will automatically wake up and cannot fall asleep again

and someone once sent me an article on an interesting research experiment done in the US. This person slept 1.25 hours A DAY for 6 months and was ok. What he did was sleep 15 MINUTES every four hours, regularly around the clock. Amazing. But this was a controlled experiment, not sure if it means we all can do it. It would certainly be disruptive to normal activity. "Sorry boss, have to leave the meeting now, gotta nap!!"

sleeping too much will cause one to feel sleepy throughout the day. i read from somewhere that it's better to ventilate the room when you're sleeping to prevent C02 build-up which causes sleepiness

I take a short nap from 8-10pm . then sleep from 2a.m till next morning at eight.

I can sleep almost 18 hours on weekends

juliet,

i see that you know the gender of your baby liao?

pregnant mums should have all the sleep you can get.

[LaW]

according to some articles, 7-8 is then sufficient for most normal people.

different body different needs.

my elder brother, for instance, tends to get exhausted easily and sleep more becaure of his blood problem.

and according to a friend of mine who stated he read an article on sleep research, stated that people who sleeps more normally die younger. =x. i dunno how true is that.

and one more, this one is from one of my Dr. lecturor, dun on lights while you are sleeping and dun be awake at the period 2-6am. because at these period of time, the body tends to release a susbtance that eliminates carcinogen (cancer causing agent)

however, look at me now. i just got back from work. skipped these hours. shit

ladies who are expecting needs to sleep more.

exhausted body resulted from increased activities in the body from the "making baby" process

so sleep more when u feel like it and do sufficient of exercises in prepare for ur kid's birthday

im sure u knew that already.

jiayou!

[LaW]

and its true that drinking sufficient water keeps ones awake. allows good ventilation in your area too.

thats all i know about sleep. hope these helps

[loster]

i sleep 4-5 hours a day. i take my short nap whenever i travel on bus sometime when i home early in the afternoon, i will take a short nap (at least 1 hour). if my napping is too long (2-3 hours)... i will be in trouble. i will be like an owl at night like law

now, i try to force myself to sleep later by 1 am i know i am a night person but at least i must try to sleep more. at least 6 hours

[Justiana Er]

I think the body cannot rest due to unfamiliar territory or area. It's like a defence mechanism whereby the body is in constant alert even if you are not aware of it. I myself hate sleepover at any of my relative place. Very uncomfortable for me. I will be aware of the slightest noise being made. And the worst noise that I really hate that can make my blood boil is the sound of SNORING! I really can't believe someone unconscious would make such LOUD noise! I sometimes feel like hitting the person with whatever object nearby.
