...now I'm confused! - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12I feel like ***** even after 7 hours. 10 hours for me ;) College is great!
- razorsharp84, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11How does anyone get by on five hours of sleep a night? Eight are barely enough for me.
- ZZZin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9So basically, if we get too much sleep we die, and if we get too little sleep... we die.
Brilliant. - firebhaal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8...and if we get just the right amount of sleep...we die.
looks like a die die die situation - trump48257, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6For me I just force myself and fight through sleepiness with loads of caffeine :) That's one thing I hate about med school--not enough time in the day to do all you need to do.
Some people are just wired not to need that much sleep. The average needed is about 7.5, but on the fringes there are people that really need as little as 4 hours or as much as 11 (Neuroscience, Third Edition---Fig 27.1). We actually just covered this today oddly enough. - AKBryant54, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Interesting way to turn a completely non political science article into a political (read: pseudo-intellectual mud slinging) thread. Bravo!
- evanct, on 10/10/2007, -4/+9What! sleep is good for your body?!
ludicrous! next they'll be claiming that food is good for you! - Bamborzled, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Next up in this series of articles:
"BREAKING: Oxygen proven to improve lifespan" - BlackCow, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Well some of us have school/work
- TheWorm, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3High School sucks. They keep us up doing homework until midnight and then class starts again at 8. 6 hours a night is average for people i know.
- hartley, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I'll just stick to my 6 hours a day and enjoy that extra hour of consciousness everyday.
- xGeneric, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I don't think there's a set hour of sleep someone needs. 6-9 hours seems to be the range for your average adult. Personally I'm right on the 8 hour mark... 7 hours I'm feeling slow, 9 hours and I'm feeling slow.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3I get my 7 hours of sleep, seeing how I wake up daily at 2 p.m after a late night of gaming
- EpicCrusadr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Molecular Oxygen can be represented as a radical. Every breath you take, while allowing you to respire, is killing you slowly due to free-radical reactions. Unfortunate, but true.
- mal5305, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1anyone who is, or ever has been in college can answer that question...
- synwolf, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Yeah, what happens if I sleep for 11 hours one night and 3 hours the next? Does it even out? Or do I just die twice as fast?
- wintertangerine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Long-term studies show that those who drop down to five hours or fewer face a 70 per cent extra risk of dying from all causes."
This is somewhat ridiculous. - captaincoconut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1I don't see why this story is that important considering heart problems are rarely serious.
- statikuz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1"Those who slept for eight hours or more a night were more than twice as likely to die as those who had not changed their habits."
I'm 100% more likely to die than some other guy? What's his trick? - skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Sleep is good for you? Who would've thought?
- firebhaal, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1the same reason you would take time to post something dumb like that
- meatee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The data is from 1985-8 and 1992-3... so it took these researchers 14 years to calculate the numbers?? These dudes have been sleeping on the job apparently.
- MetaMars, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How has no one noticed that this picture is Ripley?
I thought that aliens bursting out of your ribcage would CONTRIBUTE to cardiovascular problems. - antych, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Buried. I read so many times that everyone has different needs if it comes to sleep.
It's not gonna help you if you force yourself to sleep 7hrs if you actually need 9. You'll just end up feeling like *****. - sophia269, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0what about 8 hour a day not at night.
sleep really helps me feel fresh - somedumb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Why take the the time to post something like that? I cannot even fathom why someone would think a thought like that and than think it important enough to post about on Digg. I'm only taking the time to respond to it because I want someone else to respond to me (though probably in a sarcastic way) telling me why someone would do this.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -0/+010hrs is perfect. Anything less is *****.
- ripple123, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0Quantity over quality huh.
- ShuttleDisaster, on 10/10/2007, -2/+2no class til noon every day = beautiful
- somedumb, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0That was directed t NgrHader.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1I work 32 hours a week busting my ass in a restaurant while attempting to maintain a near perfect GPA so I can get into a decent law school. Excuse me for sleeping an extra 120 minutes when I can. Jerk off
- icono887, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0***** that; we should just have naps at work and college; the Spanish have very long lives.
I nap sometimes and feel great after.
And as Birdoftruth says, I think excercise is important; it helps to feel tired to sleep well. - CheshireS, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0I agree with you~~
- jackcaj, on 10/10/2007, -0/+0haha.. so true, :))
- ButchersBoy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Buried for being a college lay-about.
- Birdoftruth, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1Look people, there is no set amount of sleep required for people. When they cite studies like this. The people that reduce their sleep are those who often have other health problems that cause this such as stress, insomnia, lack of exercise. You can healthily get by on 4 hours of sleep. Trust me I do it and feel great through out the day. Now how?
All you need is to workout in the morning (I do three muscles a day plus a high intensity interval training workout 20 minute run) and get plenty of sunlight through your eyes so it will be converted to melatonin and thus increase the quality of your sleep.
See you get the best quality sleep in the first 4 hours of your sleep because their first couple cycles have the longest duration of stage 3 and stage 4 sleep (a.k.a the deep stages where you will be most rested). So you only really need those to feel good the next day.
So no you don't need any set hours of sleep. Just exercise and get plenty of sun light in your eyes.
Socrates said sleep is a bad habit because you could be doing something so much better with your life. - chrozz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1six ok as well?. pretty pleaseee forces that decide?
- itkeepsuswarm, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Jesus, there is just no happy medium with the sleep doctors, is there?
I guess I'm bound to die no matter how long I sleep - negativefx, on 10/10/2007, -7/+1get a life worth being awake for
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -14/+2This is good, because at the rate at which our GOP neo-CONS and President Bush, Cheney, Lieberman, Giuliani, et. al are screwing over the American people.. many of us might go into cardiac arrest.
- controltheweb, on 10/10/2007, -16/+1Any article about hearth health should mention CoQ10, it's incredibly helpful for the heart .. and you can buy it a lot cheaper over the web than the prices you see in typical stores. Some example medical notes:
