Re: new record

Damn, thats pretty impressive, especially if you do it a few times a month! do you work strange hours at work, or do you just not get a lot of sleep on a normal night?

I slept that long twice before (approx. 22-24). Once was because I had just returned home from 3 weeks in China. The jet lag from being on a time schedule 12 hrs different from what i was used to, was insane. The second time was because I slept 4 hrs total in 5 days (including 3 days straight of no sleep) to get through my finals one semester (damned engineering degree... lol) when i finally finished my last project (in the machine shop, none-the-less), i walked home and absolutely crashed... I don't think i've ever slept that hard in my life.

I normally only sleep 6-7 hrs a day...

Re: new record

i'll get about 7 hours a night. i'm up at 5 am on weekdays.

i'm on the go allllllll day long. at work by 630 am at the latest. first rounds are at 7 am. last rounds are at 2pm. if i don't get hung up i'm out by 3pm. never happens. then when i get home i'm always out side doing something. working on cars, mowing the lawn with a reg mower(acre or land) running 5 miles a day, working out, playing sports, detailing cars etc. i dont come in till it's dark. shower, cook, eat then go to bed. wake up. do it all the next day again.

Re: new record

I did that once back in college. I told my roommate I was going to nap and to wake me in 20 minutes. She came in in 20 minutes, but I didn't feel like getting up so I said I was going to sleep through the night.

Went to bed at 6pm, woke up at 4:30pm the next day. Fell back asleep till 7 and then went out with some friends.

No way I'd be able to do that now though. Also, I miss Wawa :( More than anything from PA, Wawa is what I miss most.

Re: new record

Interesting. I'd actually be p*ssed at myself for wasting the day. Im sure it was nice for you to catch a break, but I dunno, I couldn't do it. I don't even like taking naps, short or not, because its just such an unproductive use of time! Probably healthy once in a while though, but who needs that, lol.

sudden decreases in your blood sugar levels tend to make people tired. There is a measure called the "glycemic index" (prolly spelled wrong) that measures the amount of sugar in something (sucrose, fructose, etc). The higher the number, the more sugar. The more sugar, the faster your blood sugar rises. The faster your sugar rises, the faster it falls. This crash in blood sugar makes you tired. It also makes you hungry (your body trying to stop the blood sugar from falling more).

If you are trying to lose weight (or just be healthier in general), one of the best things to do is to help keep your blood sugar as cosistent throughout the day as possible. You accomplish this by eating less simple sugars, more fiber (to slow the absorption of the sugar, and thus slow the blood sugar spike), and eating smaller meals, and snacks every few hours in between (healthy snacks). Watching your sugar intake also helps prevent things like diabetes and other illnesses. There's more stuff too (like how companies now use an evil product called high fructose corn syrup) that spike blood sugars. But the main thing is just read food labels and watch the stuff you eat. and unlike your avatar, avoid eating whole chocolate cakes.

Or at least that's all the stuff that my super sugar-conscious, dietitian gf keeps telling me...

Re: new record

My record is 25 hours.

Drove from Daytona Beach Florida to Long Island NY without stopping (23 hours) back in 1991. I had just spent 10 days rather drunk at Spring Break and drove home all revved up on coffee, vivarin, and no-doz. I fell asleep at 7pm and woke up at 8pm the next day. I thought I slept 1 hour, when in fact it was 25 hours.

I don't know how it is now, but in 1991 Spring Break in Daytona Beach was incredible!!!

Re: new record

Re: new record

wow, I wish I could sleep like that once in a while, I can take 10mg of ambien, to to bed at 10:00 PM and be staring at the clock at 4:30am wishing I could go back to sleep. Now back when I was just out of college with an extremely secure but low paying state job where I came and went as I pleased I slept great, now that I have a good paying job with lots of responsibility middle to low security and am married I'm lucky to catch an 8 hours of sleep night. Besides I usually feel worse when I get up than when I go to bed.....

Re: new record

I don't like sleeping in past 11:00am. Anything later and I feel like part of the day was wasted.

But I have been known to sleep through the flu (which I rarely get).
