Comments on: Are You Wasting Time In Bed? http://www.savingadvice.com/articles/2010/04/23/105987_are-you-wasting-time-in-bed.html Bridging the gap between saving money and investing Sat, 11 Feb 2012 18:46:33 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Gail http://www.savingadvice.com/articles/2010/04/23/105987_are-you-wasting-time-in-bed.html/comment-page-1/#comment-688743 Gail Wed, 28 Apr 2010 23:33:29 +0000 http://www.pfadvice.com/?p=5987#comment-688743 I can get by on a good solid 6 hours a night, but I also need at least one nap a day and even more when my arthritis is really acting up--one of the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis besides the pain is fatigue! The hard part is I live with a hubby that needs around 10 hours of sleep a night. Since he is self employed at home and I'm on disablity we have worked it out to our satisfaction. I get about 4 hours every morning when I can do my own thing. I haven't set an alarm clock in 8 years and I think that is so much more healthy to wake up and get up when you are done sleeping than having a a mechanical device decide for you that it is morning.

I have a very successful friend who is like that and that is just her nature. I wish I was like her but I am not. And, I don't want to go nonstop 24/7.

I need at least 8.5 to 9 hours each night in order to be productive during the day. I would love to be able to live on less sleep, however that is not the case.

I have not been able to get more than four or five hours of sleep in a good number of years. Like you, I just get up and catch up on my correspondence, or reading or something. I know that we spend way too much time in bed in this country. More people should learn to live with less sleep, if possible. This is excellent advise for a guy like me.

Bring on the less sleep needs. My grad advisors joke that grad students don't need sleep and I just stare at them. I'm always exhausted at the end of the day and need my 9 hours of sleep.

I would love to go to the gym before work, but I just cant get myself out of bed because i am so tired. i am hoping that the older i get, the less sleep i will need. wish me luck! great post, and i wish i was a person that didnt need 8-10 hours of sleep a night to not feel exhausted.

It's about productivity... If I can get a full nights sleep and as a result be more productive then that is where I think the value in a good sleep is. If I can put in half the hours and get twice as much done then I think that makes much more sense. I did this all throughout college and it worked out nicely. Anyways, that's just my thinking. Cheers! Brandon It’s not about the amount of time you put it. It’s about productivity…
