Sleep making you tired?

[Verruckter]

I don't really get it. Sometimes, i'm not really tired, and it takes like 1 hour to fall asleep. But when I wake up, and imy nap didn't last a long time, i'm VERY tired...although sleep is supposed to regenereate energy....not use it...

If someone knows the answer to this....

Dude i have that same problem..I usually go to sleep around 11-12pm every night and wake up at 5:30 to go lift. And i get home around 10:30am and im really tired so but i have no idea when i fall asleep..i just turn on the stereo and pass out but when i wake up about 2-3 hours later i have a huge headache and usually have to take Ibupofen to make it go away...it sucks why do i get massive headaches from sleeping?

[lightdarkness]

Well.. I dont' understand this.

Yesterday.. woke up at 11 am, went to sleep at 8:30am the next day, woke up at 3pm.. its now 10pm and i'm tired.. i think our surroundings affect our awakeness.

I hate sleep. Sleep is the biggest waste of time ever IMO. Think about it...that's 25 years of your life you lose from sleep.

[TheTypist]

ok. Do you know how ridiculous it sounds when you're confused about why you're body isn't happy with 5 1/2 hours of sleep? Of course your going to be tired! Most adults should at least have eight hours.

And if you have watched The Matrix a few too many times and think sleep is a waste, you're dead wrong. You may be awake for much longer if you barely sleep, but you also decrease the quality of the life you are living. It is very unhealthy.

Lightdarkness, how can you think that insomnia won't make you tired? Sleep isn't like a bank account where you try to make up for lost sleep whenever you want. It is usually best to sleep at night, and be awake in the day. The Earth rotates for a reason.

[Verruckter]

Uhhh.... I don't think Earth rotates to let lifeforms sleep.. I think we live on Earth because the Earth rotates...

The trick is to stay awake as long as possible. Then when you do sleep you get a really nice long rest. I'm talking 14 hours here. That's like once/twice a week.

Wow. I didn't think you would notice, Verruckter.

I figured that since everyone seems to want to take the benefits of sleep for granted, they may also try the same for life.

[Squeek]

Hey, watch me prove your theories wrong!

The earth rotates for a reason? That reason being gravitational force... There's nothing that says you can't change your sleep patterns to whatever you want and still be fine. I mean, just look at Vegas! During the day that place is almost a ghost town. At night it's beyond lively. Most people there sleep in the day and have fun all night. There's no other way to do things there.

Not having sleep isn't going to hurt your body or shorten your lifespan. Some people can function after just a few hours of sleep and others can't. It's just that simple. Once you learn what you can tolerate then you accomodate for that time schedule and move on.

I slept for 8 hours last night and im rested.

I think sleep works good.

And if you have watched The Matrix a few too many times and think sleep is a waste

Wha...?

Have you even seen the Matrix?

I said that I believe that sleep is a waste of time...which it is. I guarantee they will find some chemical supplement for sleep or something like that.

Sleep goes in cycles.

[evilbutterfly]

that looks about right

[tristia]

Jam wins, I know thats how I work. If I get anywhere between six and seven hours of sleep, Im more productive, anymore than that and I feel like I need more sleep.
