thedarkshade Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 It's kidna weird what I'm about to post (or ask), but it's something that's been happening quite often for the last two months. In the days when I get a lot of sleep (10 hours or more) I usually wake up very very sleepy and for another hour I just can't identify the word around me! I mean, I don't like talking, just sitting somewhere and staring at anything. In a word, sleepy! But in the days when I get little sleep (which is happening very frequently), 5 hours or less, I wake up completely sober! It looks kinda weird to me! I there a rational explanation for this, or this is something that is happening just to me??:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisyphus Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 No, that's fairly well documented. Too much sleep very often results in similar symptoms as too little: lethargy, difficulty concentrating, etc. You definitely shouldn't be sleeping more than 10 hours or less than 5. 6-8 is generally recognized as ideal for adults.

thedarkshade Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 OK, thanks for the info Sisyphus! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taq_is_hot Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Yeah. I totally agree! I have been getting way too much sleep the past few days and all I feel like doing is taking naps. So, if I stay up all night and get 3 hours of sleep, I will be feeling normal tomorrow. That always happens to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkshade Posted January 4, 2008 Author Share Posted January 4, 2008 Actually I stay late like that every night (usually), doing stuffs in my lab! But is there a particular effect in the memory. Because I have difficulties to recall after sleeping a lot! And when I get little sleep I never have the problem! (Maybe I shouldn't sleep after all:P:P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
