Awake for 12-13 hours , sleeping 11 hours = bad?

[T129]

Is this bad for your body? I wake up around 12 PM - 2 PM then go to sleep around 1-3 AM....is this bad for your body to be awake for such short time?

I haven't noticed any weightloss or anything, I have gained alot of body weight and more expected since I just started creatine.

[Muskle]

[AnthonyMazza]

[wheylover]

How the hell can u sleep until 2pm thats half ur day gone

yeh, do u go to school?

[Saint_James]

It's fine for now, but you'll be screwed when you have to go to school.

and what i've heard is 7-9 is the ideal amount of sleep to get, and going to bed before 11 pm and getting 7 hours of sleep is better than going to bed at 3 am and getting 10 hours of sleep.

[xSaintFunkyx]

Besides the fact that you sleep almost half your life away? damn, lazy ****

[T129]

Its a long story...but should I wake up an hour earlier and go to sleep an hour earlier?

[AusterMule]

average i get is 6 hours...

U mad?

Each sleep cycle is 90 minutes, and your body should automatically wake you up after 5-6 sleep cycles (If I remember correctly). If you sleep longer, you've probably been depriving yourself of sleep for a long time, and your body's trying to recover.

I think it's best to sleep 7-9 hours, and if you still feel tired during the day, take a ~30 minute nap around 3:00-5:00 P.M. Don't make that nap any longer because you don't want to go into Stages 3 or 4 of your sleep cycle.

Edit: That weight gain is definitely just water weight from the creatine. I doubt the sleep has anything to do with it, since your body still uses energy when sleeping; sometimes, even more than when you're awake.

I get ~6-7 hours of sleep a night on weeknights, ~8 hours on Friday night, and ~12 hours on Saturday night, + a one hour nap sometime in the week. Hopefully it all balances out to something somewhat healthy.

So I should start trying to get into a 8-11 schedule?

[GuKre]

When I'm off from school I usually sleep around 10-12 hours also... I can't wake up by my own, I mean, without an alarm clock before those 10-12 hours of sleep.

Yeah definitely, aim for 8-9. Sleep is mainly just for your brain to recover from the day; you don't need more than 9 hours.

[dizzay20]

If u sleep for a really long time like 9+ hours ur body becomes even more tired. I dont know how that works but whenever i sleep really long hours i feel really tired

[yellow92]

8 hours of sleep on weekdays about 11-12 on weekends.

**** I know this, I know this... lol
Either cause you wake up in the middle of sleep cycle 3 or 4.
or your body keeps releasing melatonin and gets u tired or something

or something else. i forgot haha

8 hours of sleep on weekdays about 11-12 on weekends.

r u suggesting or saying what u get?
cause u should aim to stay consistent

That's perfect. People usually fall asleep within 15-20 minutes. So you get in 6 sleep cycles, and wake up.
GO to bed at 1:40. so u wake up in cycle 1 and not the end of 4. or ull be all grumpy and ****

[Adrenolin]

during the school semester I avg 5hrs of sleep a day.

on break, I avg 16hrs

[LukeN.Good]

I always average 4-5 hours.

Insomnia.

[JCM1990]

i sleep 6 the most , av at 5

[clickclickboom]

i can easily sleep 12 hours a night

rofl its so easy...

have to wake my ass up at like 9 and its hard, i dont get it

[Blindead]

and getting 7 hours of sleep is better than going to bed at 3 am and getting 10 hours of sleep.

that makes no sense at all. as long as you're going through a normal sleep cycle, the time you go to sleep doesn't matter unless you're falling asleep in a room with bright light shining into your eyes.

Maybe you deprive yourself of sleep and your body is trying to recover?
or maybe u do wake up, but instead of being a man and getting out of the bed you go back to sleep.
