Bad news.

What's a good night's sleep? The answer might surprise you.

Seven hours of sleep is plenty for most people. Much more than that isn't good for you. In fact, people who regularly sleep more than eight hours a night tend to die sooner.

A bit less won't hurt you. But less than five hours' sleep, night after night, takes a toll.

Sleeping late once in a while won't hurt. Neither will getting too little sleep every so often. But don't make a habit of it. Sleeping well is as important to your health as eating well

[PvtRyan]

My sleepingroutine is 2.00-3.00 to bed, and get up at around 13.00-14.00 (whenever I can)

/me dies

 

[Ennui]

I must be god, because I'm still alive.

 

[RoyaleWithCheese]

jesus, nowadays you will die of about everything. Next thing you know reading forums will kill you...

 

[Ennui]

You'll die from watching "Rejected". Nice avvie.

 

[The Dark Elf]

hmm, well after an accident from a fight. I couldn't sleep without meds for years, recently started to sort itself out, point is, i could go for a long time without sleep if i didn't take anything to knock me out, and i never died, just felt tired but certainly never suffered any side effects. If anything it was kinda fun, all that time that would have otherwise been wasted sleeping.

Now I sleep too much lol

 

[CyberSh33p]

holy crap this forum is the most hilarious thing on earth after not sleeping all night

 

[Ennui]

haha that it is. /me rubs his eyes

 

[MadHatter]

I wouldn't be worried so much about dying from too much or too little sleep; I'd be worried about sleeping too much -- period. If the average human sleeps 8 hours every night, then the average human sleeps away 1/3 of their life. That's a lot of... wasted life.

 

[CyberSh33p]

but sleep is a shitload of fun

 

[MadHatter]

but sleep is a shitload of fun

I'd rather be having sex, playing a game (like HL2), getting drunk, going to a baseball game, travelling in Europe, etc., etc., then sleeping. If sleeping wasn't mandatory, I'd be freakin' Batman -- awake all the time.

 

[CyberSh33p]

you don't think drunkeness is wasted life?

sleeping is a bunch of fun anyway, I enjoy every minute of it.

Batman isn't awake all the time, what do you think the tinted windows on the batmobile are for. It's so Commissioner Gordon doesn't see him taking a nap behind the wheel

That'll pass, and so will those wet dreams.
