    If y-all check the time stamp on a lot of my posts you will see I post very early and rather late in the day. I only need four to five hours of sleep unless I'm not feeling well or I really busted my butt working on a remodel. Even when I am on holiday I like to get up early and do something! Even if it is just getting my brain going by visiting you guys!

    Same with food, I only eat twice a day, light breakfast and then ten to twelve hours later a large dinner. If I eat or sleep more than this I feel terrible! I don't even like to take naps because I wake up with a headache! If I have a choice between eating and getting busy with a lady friend, it's forget the food! And I don't drink alcohol before I get busy with the gals, only after!

    How about y-all? Do you sleep a lot? Do you count the hours, or minutes till your next feeding? Maverick

    A good night's sleep comes about once a month or so. I need about 8 hours but rarely get more than 5 or 6 because I am up with my mind spinning most nights. ARGH!

    I usually eat 3 meals, with some snacks in between. High metabolism.

    6 to 7 hours. I can get by on 4 hours and have gone 3 days without sleep (research test).

    The secret is to learn how to get to REM fast because that is where all the real "resting" is done.

    Usually I function so much better if I have at least six hours of straight sleep. It doesn't always work out that way though, even when I get to bed at a regular time. As one gets older, sleep is often broken by trips to the lavatory. Uninterrputed sleep probably happens four hours at the most. Every now and again, I will sleep the entire night through, and feel absolutely glorious in the AM. Those of you who sleep soundly all night long are truly blessed!

    I need 8 hours for sure. I get up at 4:30 a.m. to get ready to drive the school bus. I have a really long route out in the middle of the boondocks!!! I also have to take a nap or I'll be dead for the afternoon route. Why do I do this???

    I average 2-3 hours a nite, then every few weeks I'll crash and sleep for a couple of days. :(
