How many hours do you sleep in a day???

Do you do that polyphastic sleep stuff (or whatever it's called)? Like, you sleep a 4 or 5 hour chunk and then take a few naps at the right times?

I've always wanted to try this.

If I'm not talking to anyone or dating anyone this is my sleep schedule.
Go to sleep at 1-2am. REM and wake up at 3:30 fall back asleep at 3:45 REM around 4 wake up at 5 am. Fall asleep like 20 minutes later REM and wake up when my mom opens garage to leave to work around 7. Then I REM again and wake up around 8:30-9 feeling refreshed and not sleepy.

Yea dot hack, I'll bite, REM facilitates memory, and as the work we do is mostly mental, should suffice. What is your technique?

You have to think about REM before you sleep, think about lucid dreaming and telling yourself you can. Also if you remember your dreams write it down or type it down on your phone. The more you remember the better you're getting at REM. Remember what you did in the dream to make you notice you'r e dreaming.

I learned alot from Dreamviews Lucid Dreaming Community & Resource about REM and sleep cycle. They give some real good techniques. But lately I've been stressed and my dream control has been really bad so I'm starting to wake up around 10-11am because I'm not REMing due to stress.

Take melatonin or vitamin B supplements to enhance your dreaming and REM. When I notice that dream is ending I tell my subconscience that the dream isnt ending and for me to stay a little while more which usually works 75% of time unless I heard smeone in my house.

if you're a complete noob it would take you like 1-4 months to lucid. I've been luciding since I was real young so it comes natural to me. Dreamviews is the place to learn, I suggest affiliates learn how to REM so you can be on top of your game and enhance your memory. I think of my ideas in my lucid dreams and apply them in real life.



Hope that helped
 


I don't sleep every night. I normally Sleep 10 hours on Sunday Night and Thursday Night and am up the rest of the days.

LMAO. I dont know, I'm weird. My Doc says I'm healthy as a horse. I sleep 4 hours (sometimes 5 on the weekends) and wake up fully rested and ready to go. I'm a freak.

EDIT: I don't use an alarm clock either.
 
I really want to make it a point, to never sleep more than 8 hours. Any suggestions? with being your own boss, it's sometimes hard to force yourself out of bed. Also I workout out with heavy weights 3-4 times a week. I would really love getting 7 hours sleep a day, and feeling great!
 
6-7 hours

And I like to take 20 min naps at least 5 days a week. Really helps.
 
Normally 7 hours.

When I have heavy work loads, I enjoy half an hour of Theta Waves Brain Session (equals to 4 hours of REM sleep) and 3 hours of normal sleep is enough.

4-5 hours is normal. Couldn't sleep more than 6 if I tried. No naps. Feel fine, physicals fine. Been this way since a kid. Hypno when drifting off, that I will get all the rest my mind and body needs, that I will awake feeling rested and refreshed, and what time to wake up. 4 or so hours later I hit the ground running. Will have to check out that rem business, I don't even know how to spell it.

+1 for lucid. What a trip and never gets old.
EDIT: Sometimes I do wake less than chipper if spent all night running through the jungles. Just slow down next time on the lucid and good to go.

I used to sleep way too much, then I switched to memory foam. Now I sleep like 8 hours max and wake up feeling like I slept 12.

I've always wanted to try that for a few weeks. I've slept at a hotel that had memory foam, but I couldn't tell from the night or two that I was there if it was that much better or not.

I get 6-7 hours, typically.
 
Early 20's I would sleep maybe 12-14 hours a day. Lots of all night sessions playing Everquest, drinking booze and eating pizza. I still think there's some connection between young 20's sleeping lots and at odd times, probably something to do with all that growing during puberty.

These days I get about 7 hours a night and I feel good; I nod off in about 5 minutes. No more booze or shit food and I exercise regularly( I'm talking about a 45 min walk in the morning, hit the gym at lunch time to do weights and another walk in the evening, you would be stupid not to given the long hours spent sitting in this industry).

I'm a lucid dreamer and honest to god I had to fight your avatar in a dream last night.

He was rabid and walking on all fours, first time I've been scared in my dreams in a long time.

You're a good guy Hack but this is just ridiculous. What happened to the good ol' days where a guy hits the sack, and just falls asleep and wakes up? What's all this up, REM, sleep, up, REM, sleep crap? Damn, even in sleeping you guys like to complicate things.. just sleep man, most of us wake up refreshed after a normal night's sleep, and your schedule wont hold up once you gets kids or a partner in bed with you...
