How much Sleep??

[Thunder]

I was just curious to know how many hrs of sleep a night you all try to get..since rest is a huge factor in muscle development?

 

[atherjen]

I aim for 8

 

[Bast]

8-10

 

[GameOn]

8-10 hours. Rest is every important!!!

 

[needsize]

I aim for 8, for some reason my body will not ever let me get more than that

 

[Intelligent Muscle]

8 hours seems to be ideal....maybe 9. Anymore than that seems to be counterproductive for me.

 

[tednatas]

go for 8. if u get seven i dont think it will kill you.

I try to get 8-9 but usually get 5-6, and very, very rarely more than 7. Back when I was still at home, I didn't get off work until 9, and then still had to get in my lifting and homework after that. Now, I get done in the training room around 7-8, still have to train, and never can manage to get in bed before midnight (usually later). Then I get up for 8 am classes.

Somewhere a while back, I read that people who get 5-6 hours of sleep per night live quite a bit longer than people who get a "full 8." Whoever did the study wasn't able to identify the mechanism(s) that caused that, but it was a pretty wide ranging study.

I get about 7 due to work and lifting prepping food etc 7 seems the best I can do.

8.. Sleep is VERY important for gains in the gym

 

[Drako]

You get used to it.

Any reason why you have a 20hr day? If not I would strongly suggest you try get a few more hours in the pit it cant be good for muscle gains. What are your stats if you dont mind me asking?

I have 2 jobs, a wife, and 2 young kids. Main reason for not getting much sleep is because I get up @ 0300 to eat breakfast and lift @ 0430. I do this to not miss time with my children.
