Just noticing I seem to get 6hrs a sleep some nights and I wake up feeling like s***. Just wondering how many hours of sleep you guys typically get?
Nice man, with that kinda sleep you must be able to train like a beast!Now that I'm on summer break I'm getting 10+ hours everyday. Feelsgoodman
Haha good luck man, 4hrs sleep will be on a good day lol!6 to 9 hours. Trying for a baby so when it comes along 4hrs every 3 days LOL!
Yea i just don't think 6hrs is working for me on days that involve lifting, cardio not so much an issue. 8hrs on workout days and I'm fine but anything less and I feel like garbage. Tried splitting the routine up more to spend less time in the gym but it just doesn't seem to workout for me.It's not just the amount of hours, but also the quality of the sleep.
Life gets in the way. Invest in a pre workout like enhanced or iforce has a great deal on the planet which has conquer. The new pre by them along with hemavol. If you can go to bed earlier or take some gaba/melatonin that mite help.Yea i just don't think 6hrs is working for me on days that involve lifting, cardio not so much an issue. 8hrs on workout days and I'm fine but anything less and I feel like garbage.

Zquil has acetaminophen in it. Its a nsaid. Can prolong recovery. Another topic for another day.7-8 hrs per night. I make sure I'm in bed with enough time to get those hours every night. If I'm feeling like I won't fall asleep quickly enough I will take zQuil and that usually does the job.
Why would they have a pain reliever in a sleep aid? I thought that was acetaminophen free.Zquil has acetaminophen in it. Its a nsaid. Can prolong recovery. Another topic for another day.

Curious aswell. Although for me personally 6 hrs is plenty. Different for each personWhat's preventing you from getting adequate sleep
I have a 3hr round trip commute to work everyday. So basically I get up 5:45am and leave the house at 6:30am. I get home at around 7pm and then I eat and get ready for the gym. I'm in the gym 8-8:30pm finish up at 9:30pm eat, shower, etc. and go to bed at about 11-11:30.Curious aswell. Although for me personally 6 hrs is plenty. Different for each person
Even if I wake up after 6 hours sometimes I just wanna lay there in the bed for another half hour.Curious aswell. Although for me personally 6 hrs is plenty. Different for each person
What's the app called? I think that would be pretty interesting to check outanywhere from 3 to 9. i have lots of other hobbies besides working out that can keep my up late some nights.
but whenever i go to sleep i set an alarm to wake me up between sleep cycles. in other words every night i try and wake at a 90 minute interval. i started doing that back in january and even if i only get 6 hours a night i find i feel much more refreshed during the day. i was actually amazed. i thought for sure it wouldnt make a difference.
i got one of those apps on my phone that i used for a few months that recorded movement and sound. i used to toss a lot at night and make a lot of noise. i hardly make any noise now and dont move much.
I tried SleepBot last night, pretty crazy actually. It showed all the times I came out of sleep due to rolling around and stuff like that. Lol, pretty sure it caught a loud fart as well.There were a bunch of them. I used several paid ones and used the 30 day trials then would switch. I use the app sleep timer to set my alarm based upon cycles.
Here's study supporting the position on prolonging recoveryZquil has acetaminophen in it. Its a nsaid. Can prolong recovery. Another topic for another day.
the most important thing i learned from the apps i have used, is to be sure to try and wake up based upon 90 minute intervals. even if its just 3 hours of sleep. give yourself 15 minutes to fall asleep as well. this may mean that your wake up time can change depending on when you go to sleep. at times you may need to wake up long before you need to but dont get that extra hour as it will make you feel worse getting woken up during a deep sleep cycle.With the heat lately I've only been getting like 5 or less for the past few nights. I finally broke down last night and turned the AC on to get a wopping 6hrs of sleep but i def feel better today. I'll have to try out that app mentioned in the thread and see if it does anything for me.
This will definitely be a weekend experiment lol. So basically no matter what I should get up at 90min intervals from the time I fall asleep no matter how long the sleep is?the most important thing i learned from the apps i have used, is to be sure to try and wake up based upon 90 minute intervals. even if its just 3 hours of sleep. give yourself 15 minutes to fall asleep as well. this may mean that your wake up time can change depending on when you go to sleep. at times you may need to wake up long before you need to but dont get that extra hour as it will make you feel worse getting woken up during a deep sleep cycle.

This makes perfect sense. Many times if I wake up early and go back to sleep I am even more tired. I am gonna try this.the most important thing i learned from the apps i have used, is to be sure to try and wake up based upon 90 minute intervals. even if its just 3 hours of sleep. give yourself 15 minutes to fall asleep as well. this may mean that your wake up time can change depending on when you go to sleep. at times you may need to wake up long before you need to but dont get that extra hour as it will make you feel worse getting woken up during a deep sleep cycle.
