How many hours do you sleep?
I feel like every time i switch to camming full time my body gets unusually lazy because i know i can roll out of bed whenever i want. At this point im sleeping 12+ hours a day, and its miserable.
Anyone else feeling this way have any advice or tips?

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
You might be slightly depressed or have have an iron or b12 deficiency, OR you're dehydrated? I'm anemic and if I miss my iron supplements I can sleep up to 18 hours a day. If it's not that, just set your alarm for early-ish and get outside before you start to work. I don't know why but if I'm out exercising or running errands in the morning I find I stay awake longer throughout the day and have more energy and momentum. You probably just need to put yourself on a schedule.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
Oh god, I sleep so much. I voted 9-10 hours, but it might be more if I take naps. I know something's up, but I'm not sure what yet. It's not normal for someone who sleeps this much to be this sleepy.

This is good info to have. I get anemia very easily, but didn't know anemia could cause THAT level of tiredness.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I've always slept at least 10 hours. its just what my body needs, everybody is different. my friend can run off 4 or 5 hours without needing a nap or feeling tired, i don't know how she does it. camming can really mess with your sleep schedule though! it could also be depression or some sort of deficiency. just try and get yourself up at a certain time every day.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I think people should sleep as much as their body needs. Otherwise you may get sick, or your body might not be able to heal as much as it needs to. So I just listen to my body and rarely get sick when I do so.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I voted 9-10 but that's not really correct, just a middle ground... it's usually either 7-8 or 12+ depending on the day. I'm kind of in the same boat, I find it really difficult to keep a set schedule and get things done when I'm not accountable to someone else.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I want to say 8-9 but there was no option for that. I'm usually fine if I'm in bed before 1am and sleep until at least 9. Sometimes I sleep later but that's only if my 4 year old does lol. She's my alarm clock.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I get about 4 hrs and I'm so tired but its like I'm staring at the back of my eyelids instead of sleeping. my sleeping pattern goes out the window when I get depressed, and some people tend towards oversleeping with depression. Do you have any other symptoms of depression though?

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I didn't answer, because it would have to be how many hours at a time, in which case anywhere from 3 to 6. But, that happens more than once in a 24 hour period (if not I am murderous) so the poll required too much math and not enough specificity for me. So, usually not for a good long 10 hour stretch, but when I am able to do that it is the BEST.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
8 to 10 easily, but not always in one stretch. Generally if I sleep during the night, I need less hours, than in daytime.
-
Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I choose 9 to 10, but sometimes its less (6 hours) and sometimes its more (12+ hours). I want to fix my sleep schedule but it seems my body doesn't give a shit what I want for it, even if its trying to help it!
-
Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I naturally need 8-9 hours. One of the best things about camming is all the naps/long sleeps I can fit into my schedule. That wasn't the case when I worked 10 hour days with a 2 hour commute ::)
-
Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I have to sleep 12 hours minimum per night otherwise I am super exhausted. I'm pretty sure that I have a something wrong with me. I've been in and out of the doctors for a couple month now (this has been going on for years but other doctors have been no help). I found a really good doctor recently after moving that ran a bunch of tests and finally found a little something in my blood work. Is it weird that I'm actually kind of exited that I might finally get a diagnosis? He ran a bunch of follow up tests and I'll get the results within a couple weeks.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I voted 4-6 hours. I sleep 4 hours at night and then try to get some kind of nap during the day. LOL if I could sleep more than that I would be so happy.
-
Re: How many hours do you sleep?
8 hours is the best for me. However, only if it is uninterrupted. My loud neighbor that just moved in last month, slams her front door, every few minutes, until 3:30 a.m. every night, (as well as during the day), so my sleep has been disturbed from that.:dreams:
When I cam, I get sleepy, just staring at the computer for so long, and having to answer the same questions over and over, combined with all the sex positions I find myself in.
When I'm out doing fun things, I never get tired, and need less sleep. Gosh, I really do miss those days.:(

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
No matter how tired I am, six hours is my max. I can be really tired but can't sleep!

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
How old r you?? depends on your age.. younger people DO need more sleep.. My idea of sleeping in is 8:30 am...LOL

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I sleep ok when I sleep 8 hours, but my sleep is so fucked up one day i might sleep 2 three days after I will sleep 16, so...
But I wouldn't recomment going to sleep right after camming, specially if you cam in your bedroom. Going chilling in the living room, terrace, whatev, helps you to improve your sleep.
Here I go again giving advices I never follow.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
oh and also!.. do you take meds?? drink alcohol? smoke?? are you having caffeine late in the day??
-
Re: How many hours do you sleep?
Used to wake up fresh from 2 hours sleep, now I need a full 8
-
Re: How many hours do you sleep?
All I can do is second what others have posted. When I started camming I was the same way. But yes, set an alarm, get outside in the morning sun. That always seems to wake me up AND motivate. Do you smoke weed? I know it sounds silly but I would sleep ridiculous amounts of time when I smoked. I quit smoking and I sleep much less. I still get my full 8 that I like, and its also easier to wake up. I also was anemic and would always feel tired and sleep a lot. Good luck :)

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
I need 7 or 8 hours of sleep to feel my best. Drinking messes up my sleep really bad so I try to limit that to twice a week. Those are usually also the days I cam. Go figure}:D

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
Me also!.. I cannot drink anymore unless i want to live in hell all nite not sleeping!...so i would rather sleep..

That is unacceptable. Were you the one who posted on here recently about a neighbor slamming doors, or was that someone else? I know it sucks having to confront people about this sort of thing (especially other females, since they tend to get a bit catty and defensive), but this is fucked up. You've gotta bring this to her attention. You don't have to be like "What the fuck was with all that God damn noise last night, bitch?!" LOL. Nothing like that. :P Just be like "Hey. I heard your door slamming real late last night. Are you okay?," and see what she says.

Re: How many hours do you sleep?
Generally 5-6 hours (esp if working vanilla job). I usually cam until 1-2 am so don't get up until 8'ish. But it really depends how cam is going and if I had a nap during the day. I do notice that I actually sleep better when just camming. Less stress I suppose.
