Have you ever done it?

 

I tried it a few months back for the first time in my adult life.  It was a revelation.  All aspects of my health and well-being improved. 

 

Trying to get back to it.  Sleep is underrated.

I have always NEEDED at least 8 hours.  It's not quite as bad now as it was when I was younger.

 

Plus I stay high on caffeine most of the time now.

 

Same here, for some reason, I feel that I need a little more sleep than a lot of my friends.

 

If I can get 8 though, it's all gravy.

Sounds like myself.  I am constantly pushing myself to stay awake til 10:30-12 at night just so I can have some fun time with my husband. But between waking up at 5:45, working, homework, intense workouts I feel like i could crash at 9 pm. so I hit the caffeine, not a healthy lifestyle.  

 

Before I had a kid I slept all the time.

8 hrs and I feel sluggish in the morning, I don't want to get out of the bed.

6-7 hrs and I feel good, roll out and start getting ready. I was the kid who got up at 6am every Sat morning to watch cartoons.

 

Coffee needed in the morning regardless.

 

I was that kid as well, and it all changed in college when I started staying up all night, whether to do schoolwork or screw around.

 

I feel sluggish when waking up after 8 hours as well, until I string together a few 8 hour nights, then that goes away, presumably from catching up on sleep.

 

You shouldn't need coffee.

for all you old people, compromised sleep wrecks havoc on your cortisol levels and can make you as insulin resistant as a type 2 diabetic. It crushes growth hormone and testosterone production.  Don't neuter yourself with a lack of sleep, you have an uphill battle already as it is!

Please remind your husband what a lucky man he is tonight.

Anything under 6 or 5 1/2 hours and I shamble around to so anything. If I get 7 more, I'm good. 8 is ideal.

It's hard to sleep where I live because there's a plane flying over my head every 20 seconds, car alarms/police sirens, street lights that are way too fuging bright, etc.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
