Sleep Requirements
Hi fellow Ranters,
My second rant about sleep, what the hell?
Wipe Out
What's up with having the ability for many years to go with only getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep and working full days, partying and going non-stop only to suddenly lose that ability altogether? Lol
The wife and I have both had different scenarios lately where we both got minimal sleep for one reason or another but we still got 3 or 4 hours yet we feel like we can't move off the couch lol.
Granted, we were able to get good, solid sleep now that our son sleeps well at night for about a year and a half so that's vastly improved our sleep patterns and abilities. Are we spoiled now, so our body is giving us a good "fuck you" when we don't get at least 7 hours? Lol it feels so lame!
Anyone else have this issue?! We can’t be alone I hope lol

Sleep is important.
Yeah for sure, I'm glad that we are getting more of it lately it's just tough when there's those nights you don't get a whole lot and you have to recover for a day or two hahaha
Women need more than us. I can still function on 3-4 but 6 is optimum. Women, however, at least every I've ever known, 8 minimum. Just built a little different.
Yeah my wife needs a solid 8-9 lately which is okay. I can do well on at least 7 but love to get 8-9 with the little man having endless energy lol. Siena always complains that she needs 8-9 now when in college she could go out and party all night and go to work the next day lol. I've only done that once and it was brutal!
My wife's the same way. From my experiences, all women just require more sleep than us. They just do, it's just the way it is.
The biggest mistake I could make is waking Pura up. Dude I could starve her, pour cold water in the shower, forget to relay a critical message, you name it.. we'll be fine by lunch. But oh my fuck if I wake her up!! She still reminds me occasionally of the last time I woke her up back in 2018.
Hahah when they want to wake up they will wake up. We can’t wake them or hell better be freezing over! I shook my wife once and she was dead to the world, if she’s that asleep I don’t bother trying to wake her lol.
Coming into account is the health issues of course, I remember Pura having some stuff last year or the year before and we talked about adrenal issues and clean diets. My wife’s issues mess up her sleep so I leave her right alone lol
Issues and issues. Dude it's such a nightmare. She's actually scheduled now to see the GI gangster in Tennessee but they're in Vandenberg... 3 hours away.
We'll be adding that to the to-do list in the next few weeks. Sucks man. We've made progress, I really hope we've finally been placed in the right hands and we get some answers.
That’s tough man, I’m hoping she gets some answers and put on a better path! It’s definitely a battle but with the right people around you and a good mindset you can work through the punches as they come. Fingers crossed for you man!
I feel the best when I sleep 7 hours.
6 is managable, but I feel fucked if I get 8 xD
Lol lately I feel the opposite! I feel the best when I get 8-9, functional with 7 and brutal with 6. Damn lol
Are you getting old buddy?? :P
9 damn xD Thats a lot :p
Hahah feels like it sometimes!
Haha! I feel ya xD

I don’t require a lot of sleep but i have noticed that since i moved on to a narrowboat and my routine completely changed I tend to get more sleep than i previously ever did. The urge to get up and get on with the day has left me and I am happy to start the day whenever . by the way I saw lions sleeping in trees just like that photo at Lake Manyara in Tanzania. They were there in the morning after a kill and a belly full of food and still there in the late afternoon, dozing , unwilling to go anywhere as they’d eaten and didnt have to.
Yeah when I started working from home last year my sleep routine has changed a lot. I was waking up at 5 am every day and now I’m sleeping I’m until 630 or 7 most days but don’t have to start work until 9. It’s kind of nice lol. When we move I’ll have to get in a bit of an earlier schedule but not too bad. Thanks for stopping by man!
The lion thing must have been cool. I’ve never seen something like that up close, especially after a kill. We have coyotes and stuff and the occasional bear or mountain lion but it’s far outside of our area thankfully. One of these days we will be close to the alligators though so we will get our fill with that lol
Anything above 8 hours is hell for me. My optimal sleep will be around 5 to 6 hours from 9 PM to 3 Am. I used to have a shorter sleep during school. I was wondering about my short sleep habit because my boyfriend said I showed no signs of being grumpy, irritable, and is able to function well. Then, just recently he showed me something called the short sleep gene https://sleepeducation.org/short-sleep-gene-when-six-hours-enough/ and He was wondering if I may have that gene. Who knows?😂
Hahah it sounds like you might have it! That’s wild, I don’t know if I could function that well on that sleep but it’s all what you’re used to. I know having energetic kids doesn’t do well with not getting enough sleep let me tell you lol. They have endless energy until they fall asleep! Lol
I think my dads got the minimal sleep gene lol he’s good with 6-7 hours a night most nights.
