  • Is it possible to get too much sleep??

    I've been going to bed early (between 9:30 and 10) lately, getting up at 6:00 am but I'm totally knackered. Is it possible to get too much sleep??

                RIGHT on the money...Capt....and you're a long time dead.


                Like boxy i try and get to the leaba about 10 ish, but sometimes I'm on the forums, and it gets addictive, but I'm foine....actually it depends on the individual how much sleep one needs...Churchill got about 3hours, as did

                many " madmen " lol.Boxy bring a teddy bear to bed with you...and tell it

                all your worries...thats after the stiff brandy.


                I'm of to mo leaba anois.
                today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.

                  I sleep probably 5 of the 24 hours. But one of my friends would sleep the whole 24 if his wife allowed him. I don't think there's a correct or an incorrect amount of time to sleep, though doctors will tell you that you should get 6 - 8 hours a night.

                  It's the feeling knackered that's more interesting. If I oversleep I feel very tired afterwards. But you might need a vitamin supplement too.

                    dont even remind me of waking up knackered...i go thro phases of insomnia getting maybe an hour here or there, and im fine......BUT when i go to bed at 10 and wake up at 8...getting 10 hrs sleep i wake up in bits....back ache, headache, and generally feeling tired...i thought it was our mattress, so we changed out the bed twice in one year, and then again last year...i thought we needed an air cleaner on our furnace, didnt help..i just realized then that it was the act of fecking sleeping for 10 hrs that was killing me..5 to 6 hrs seems to be all i can manage without feeling wrecked......and its NOT an old age thing lol....been like this for years and im only 37 according to my beautiful grandson who has exactly the same sleeping pattern lol..

                              I used to get up at 6am and go to bed at around 1 am when I worked. I still go to bed late and wake up at around 8

                              Some days it works out well and sometimes not so well. Depends on the state of mind
