The Need For Sleep

I was doing my works last night when suddenly.. I felt sleepy :mad:

I try to hold my strength to continue stay up. And do some twittering to grab the spirit of staying up. Well, I got negative feedbacks. uhuhu.

*tweet* *tweet*

“Can someone tell me how to put out this sleepy feeling?”

Thanks to topo, anarm and Hadramie for telling me to go to sleep :cry:

I disagree and tried as hard as I could to stay up and in the end.. I realized that I couldn’t push myself anymore. I went to sleep, and woke up this morning – feeling a bit energetic.

I asked myself once a time – “Do we human really need to sleep?”

Now I realized it’s a silly question to ask :oops:

This is not a continuation to my previous post about dreams and reality but it’s ok if you say so.

I’d googling about this sleep things and found many interesting things about this matter. gosh. We sleep everyday but most of us don’t know why we need to sleep. Ok, I admit maybe it’s not an important thing as I myself always fall asleep without noticing it. Yeah, we always notice it when we wake up in the morning.

I found interesting stuff about sleep here. Check it out :razz:

Presentation Zen : The need for sleep

An Intro to Sleep : What is Sleep?

There’s a website exclusive for sleep campaign, NeedSleep.net. It provides information and education about sleep for the public.

A University of California, San Diego psychiatry study of more than one million adults found that people who live the longest self-report sleeping for six to seven hours each night – Wikipedia

Take a look at this.

Age and condition Average amount of sleep per day
Newborn up to 18 hours
1–12 months 14–18 hours
1–3 years 12–15 hours
3–5 years 11–13 hours
5–12 years 9–11 hours
Adolescents 9-10 hours
Adults, including elderly 7–8 (+) hours
Pregnant women 8 (+) hours

Woho. I once believed that it’s just enough if can get 1-2 hours of sleep per day. Now I realize that I’m wrong.

Now I know and realize that sleeping is an important thing in our life. Well, I once treated sleeping as just an ‘activity’ (sometimes ‘hobby’ :lol: )

I don’t mean to sleep for almost 8 hours. Maybe 6-7 is sufficient? So I’ll not feel weak like before.

I want a healthy life. And sleeping is a part of it.

And I’m starting to manage myself in doing works so I could get enough sleep everyday :thumbsup:

Click here if you want to take the sleep test.

Back to work. And then I’ll go to bed to get my sleep :smile:

We need to sleep! :razz:

I don’t sleep lots all of my life, I only sleep from 4 to 6 hours daily, I don’t why that, maybe because I feel that I want to be a wake for ever, too curious for life :)

never compromise on your sleeping hours…our body need it badly..
there’s a biological clock inside our body…
once you alter your sleeping time this biological clock will be affected as well..
macam aku skang, susah giler nak tido awal…paling awal pon kol 2 sebab dah terbiase…waktu tidur dah jadi tunggang terbalik

Reply

alone March 31, 2009 at 10:24 am

you’re right. i agree about the biological clock. btw, i think mine is ok now. i currently sleep about 12 and wake up at 5 or 6 :lol: :thumbsup:

some people live like bat. night is day for them and vice versa. uh :roll:

I got B- in my statistic subject because of lack of sleep :???: . I should get an A for the subject. That is one of the things that I am regretted. If you have studied enough then give your self some reward by resting and sleeping properly.

Since that I have never stayed up late before an exam or test. :razz:

unactive March 31, 2009 at 12:29 pm

The problem is not about sleepy…It turn out on that exam day, I can answer the question because I am “blur” + not sleeping…I guest it bit too much for me.

its like a habit that we dont sleep at night.
we always stay up till morning working with the project.
but there’s a time that i dont feel sleepy at all.
mata segar giler. tapi tak dapat nak concentrate lansung.huh.
cemane tu?
nak tido tak nantok.
hilang fokus. garisan2 kat kertas tu tibe2 macam jadi double triple.

*haish, aku pun tak paham ape aku ckp -_-”

i read somewhere where people that don’t have enough sleep tend to be hot blooded :P
and i must say, that’s so true! haha

whenever i don’t get enough sleep, every little thing piss me off! xD

i usually get enough sleep because no matter what time i go to bed, unless i get enough sleep, i won’t wake up haha
6 hours min sleep!
slagi belum 6 hours sleep, gerak la macam mana pun, i won’t wake up (tido mati to be exact) haha

i used to like NOT to sleep haha
especially when i work best at the middle of the night rather than other time haha

unactive March 31, 2009 at 12:35 pm

Well I read some where that nowadays we need at least 6 hour of sleeping time. But I also read some that the problem is not about the sleeping time…but instead we worry that we don’t have enough sleep because of the sleeping time…
