Some useful info good read thanks man.

[Daedorax]

what if you have to get up for work at a certain time? lol how should you plan your sleep schedule, just go to bed earlier?

Well if your waking up tired then your answer is yes.. pretty much all I can tell you and let us now how it goes.

I get the best sleep when i sleep for 10-11 hours or if i fall asleep late and take a bunch of multivitamins before i go to bed. But i have a bunch of sleep problems so I have to sleep for a really long time.

[JustDoIt979]

waking up naturally is so much better than an alarm..

[JehangirB]

If you miss your cycles one night, your body will experience REM rebound the next night and make up for it.

I'm really into lucid dreaming (http://www.dreamviews.com/section/introduction-5/) and sleep cycles and stuff and I'm glad to see this article.

I found a watch a while ago that you set it to wake you up say between 6:30 and 7:00. Then it monitors your sleep patterns and has a quiet alarm go off when you are at your lightest sleep during that time period. I wanted to buy, but it was like $179 or something.

There was also this cool dawn simulator that is basically a light that turns on gradually, waking you up gradually.

Yea like you can go like 2 or 3 months in a bad sleep cycle and then recover in one night, because you can't make up lost sleep. Although 7-8 hours of sleep is absolutely necessary for everyone, lost sleep can't be made up. Remember to post any questions on here about your sleep concerns and ill answer them to the best of my abilities.

Hey!I would gonna be.....

[survivorboi]

I can't seem to sleep like a normal person lately, seems like I'm always in REM sleep or the most is stage 2, can't get a deep sleep. I dream and see alot of ****.

I also wake up to go pee only to let out barely any piss... -.- seems like a habit instead of a need.
MAN. I'm screwed.

He is right about the REM being made up for, the next night. And of course you can make up lost sleep, by sleeping more than what you have been for the past month or whatever that time period is. Also, 7-8 hours isn't necessary for everyone. It's the norm, but it varies.

Tropes

[Alex1232]

I always wake up at different times, how do i know how much i need?

[MertG]

If have about 3-4 hours of sleep one night (Going to happen to me today), would it impale me? I usually sleep about 6.30-7 hours a day (School) and feel perfectly energetic and fine.

[Krazyyyy]

I can rarely sleep a full night. I'm constantly waking up during the middle of the night. Does this have something to do with my cycles?

[Kipz]

Very informative, good read.
Thanks

[Streetb0y]

idk

[worthless]

what to do, its not because i have to pee that it break my sleep, i always feel horny in the morning, and im still sleepy that time, so sometimes i masturbate and let my girl blowjob me or having sex. i always feeltired, its like the cycle you are saying is not yet finished.

[jaketh3snake]

Wouldn't it make sense to sleep for 9 hours? 540 mins/90mins = 6 cycles. Correct me if I'm wrong.

[NJMscle]

Found it interesting but when I have to get up at 6 AM every morning for school it kinda makes it impossible to do

[Tanny15]

hey nice post....
i too believe in sleep when you feel but sleet without interruption
One of the biggest motivators to getting exercise is simply to be rested, healthy and energetic – impossible without enough sleep. This is simple and basic, like most of what i have been taught. Science teaches that it takes a certain amount and quality of sleep to:

* Metabolize carbohydrates properly,
* Maintain leptin, growth hormones, proper blood pressure and insulin resistance,
* Keep a positive attitude through decreased anxiety and perceived stress.
