Can anyone else sleep indefinately?

[WildGoose]

Since we are now being told that sleeping more than 7.5 hours or so, is bad for your health etc. Does anyone have a problem getting up when they don't have to. Seeminly reducing life expectancy doesnt bother me that much.

And I don't mean like 10am, if left alone to my own devices, I can, like today, stay there until 4-5pm, I have in the past just stayed there the whole day and into the following nights sleep.

A lot of this is down to self discipline, I just can't be arsed at the weekend or when not working, plenty to do if I really wanted, like fixing various vans/bikes etc but nothing that won't wait... forever.

Anyone else struggle?

Yep, I find it quite easy to just fall straight back to sleep and could easily manage almost 24 hours sleep (have done in the past) if I don't need to get up for anything.

I sometimes wonder if it's because I'm lazy or because I have a sleeping problem ie, disturbed sleeps.

Yes i can easily sleep 14 odd hours, thats with various alarms and attempts to wake me up

No, i can only usually sleep for about 8 hours, then i'll wake and thats it, i have to get up.
Unless im ill, in which case i'll sleep for as long as i can

Nah, I hate myself if I get up later than about 10 at weekends because I feel like I've wasted the day.

I didn't really need to get up today but once I woke and saw it was half 9 I got up, did some cleaning and tidying (I is well domesticated) then popped in to town to do some shopping.

I actually feel annoyed with myself if I stay in bed too late, just because I now I could've achieved something if I'd got up at a decent time.

I don't have to be up tomorrow but I'll be up by about half 9, shower and breakfast etc then head to the pub and sit in the corner doing some writing, if I don't do it then I've wasted the day.

Does nobody else get annoyed if they get to the end of the weekend and realise they've achieved fuck all?

Oh shit yeah . I can quite easily sleep away the whole weekend.
Even more so if we had shit weather like yours.
makes it a bit harder to do now it's getting warmer and it's up over 30 during the days.

I've always promised myself I'm going to take a holiday from work and just sleep away a whole week.

I always feel like I've never had enough sleep

I sleep too much. Monday to friday is generally go to bed at 4-5 in the morning, get up at 2 in the afternoon. Go to work at 4. Finish work at 9 and stay up till 4-5 following morning.

Weekends are different tho spend most of it mortally drunk or doing 14 hour shifts in a pub.

[JonB]

Nope i'm a weirdo in that no matter how tired I am, i'll sill be up by 9am. Just hate the thought of wasting a day sleeping. Truth be told i'd love it if you could survive without sleep.

Then take out all the time you spend cooking, on the shitter, going to places, or just generally arsing about and there's feck all left.

I could do that when I was a teenager.

I think that as you get older you need less sleep.

When I was young I could sleep forever. I can't do it anymore, even when I think I'd like to. I'm pretty sure it's a function of youth.

Good point about it being a worthy distraction though. If there's nothing pleasurable to be had while awake why not spend it asleep? Shortens life expectancy? So fvcking what, who the hell wants to live a day longer than necessary in this nazi shit-hole of a world? The older I get the more I look forward to returning to the real reality. But not until I've disharged all my obligations.

I hate going to bed but I hate getting up more. Now and then, on a weekend, I'll sleep for 17 hours.

[pyx_e]

Sleeping more than7-8 hours is just a waste of time in terms of catching up on sleep. You can't "catch up on sleep." After a good night you are topped up and do not need anymore. Holidays are important and different, extened periods of rest.

Nothing wrong with the odd nap or chill out morning in bed.

My experience is that people who stay in bed/sleep to much are: ill, drugged up, teenagers, peace activists, depressed or lazy twats who can't be arsed.
