About SLEEP - You will be shocked.

I honestly had no clue about sleep cycles until I read this thread. Excellant! Thank you for all the good info.

[anuragp122195]

Is there a such thing as too much sleep? Weekends off from school=sleep until 1-2pm Haha

[Daniel0]

Is it true that cheese increase REM time thus causing nightmares and height increase assuming HGH production is increases during REM.

I have huuuge trouble getting to sleep (anxiety), it's virtually insomnia. Sometimes if I wound down at 10pm I'd still be awake at 1am. Obviously counter-productive to any goals, plus it raises anxiety and depressed thoughts like hell. Anybody else got this problem? How do I get around it?

[DarkFlacko]

All this smoking bud got my cycles fuuuuuucked up.

[Durleyyy]

So in order to wake up energised, should i sleep in multiples of 90 minutes? and use an alarm to wake me up at the right time?

[MasterRJ]

skimmed through but very good information to let out...People generally dont go through all their cycles, thus waking up at the "the wrong time" per say and feeling like crap. basically i just use this website to do all the calculations for me =) much easier..

maybe someone with enough post can repost that link to make easier

dont know if anyone mentioned this yet cause I'm not reading the whole thread, but check out whats called the "Sleep Cycle Alarm Clock" for ipods and iphones. Its only .99 cents in the app store and it legit works. You set the alarm and lay the phone on your bed and it will judge by movement what stage you are in. It will wake you up anywhere from 30 minutes early from when you set the alarm and you feel energized when you wake up. works awesome for me.

So amirite in interpreting that any sleep under 90 minutes would do you little to no good? (more referring to afternoon naps after an early knock off work etc)

Damn that was helpful. Now I know why I'm tired.

[7Friez]

I dont know if this is related, but i tend to wake up early without an alarm on weekends
and on school days i dont wake without my alarm, i find it a lot harder to wake up.
School days i still sleep from 9:30-10pm - 7am)

[tomasitolg]

good info, thanks!

[DreadedAries]

ive overlooked sleep when i was a noob

[msorel1]

Ironically I was just talking about this with a friend just before I stumbled upon this. Great info I actually learned something.

[LeeStoneRose]

Hey buddy so when is the best time to wake up? Read your thing but didn't see if you answered the best time to wake up.


Also, today I woke up feeling neither energized or tired. Just strangely numb. Like i was floating. No idea what that means but figured I'd ask you since you seem to be the sleep expert.

[Jypsie]

That was really helpful and it made a lot of sense, come to think of it I do feel a hell of a lot better if I wake up on my own time. Only problem is, most of us have school or work to get up for. Thanks for the info!

nice post, i am new here and just read it.

i have a question though, lately i have been out of work and no very active during the day. so at night say around 10 it's time to go to sleep but my brain doesn't want to sleep. it thinks. " i haven't done anything today, therefor i have to stay up longer to do something productive". so i stay up till 2-3am and just waste my time thinking about thing's that DON'T even matter in my life. or fapping.

due to this time wasting i sleep in later till about 11-12pm the next day. i would really like to start waking up at 7am and becoming a productive member of society.

do you have any advice on how i could do that?

There's a app called Sleep cycle on the ipod touch/phone. Uses this same logic and wakes your body at the most opportune time at the end of a cycle!

Awesome, I'm getting an iPhone just to use that app now!

[synapzee]

I use a program called "Sleep With Android" on my phone that monitors my sleep activity and I give it a 30 minute threshold before my alarm goes off to wake me up. If I have a high amount of movement while sleeping (meaning that I'm in stage 1/2) it will wake me up before the time I set so that it insures that I don't get into another cycle before my alarm goes off.

So amirite in interpreting that any sleep under 90 minutes would do you little to no good? (more referring to afternoon naps after an early knock off work etc)

If you nap, it shouldn't be longer than 20-25 minutes if you don't intend to sleep the full 90 minutes. If you only sleep 20 minutes you won't get into deep sleep so if you get woken up you won't be groggy and should have more energy.

[blackmoney]

some times i sleep 12 or even 14 and feel tired, and sometimes i feel quite refreshing after one or two hours sleep

[jamiebouz]

i am shocked

[Simmo590]

That was really informative. I have always wondered about how much sleep is enough, thanks!

[agrier9]

True. I wake up at 6 AM for school. School lets out at 1:45, I go to the gym at 3, and got to bed at 11:30-12. Leaving me with 6 hours a sleep a night. I haven't been benching like I was over the Summer.

[ashtonjones]

Turns out you don't need sleep at all. It turns out sleeping actually restricts muscle growth by up to 15% and promotes fat retention by up to 7%. Experts recommend you try to sleep as little as possible. The greatest body builders will go about 3 days without sleep. Food for thought.

[DGKPHONG]

thats very interesting! I'm glad i took the time to read it
