I was out with some forumites last night and it came to my attention that I seem to go to bed the earliest.. Im a strict 8 hour of sleep a night girl and past 10.30 I start to get a little crabby..


Aforementioned forumites all seem to push the envelope and dont get to bed before midnight whilst only getting up slightly later than me! ::o


Am I the only one that needs a good 8 hours or are there others like me?

BB I totally agree with you on the recharge.. I rarely have a lie in my body just seems to wake up early naturally hence my lovely early bed time..


If I could be in bed earlier than 10.30 I so would but my better half would have something to say about it.. :( Damn those late to bedders!! ;-)

Well I love 8 hours and I'm probably capable of more at least once a week! I like an early night but probably more often go to bed around 11 if I am home and not doing much. I would prefer to sleep in than go to bed early though, I hate early mornings!


Ladygooner - my mum always said that too, how can it be really true though, surely sleep is just sleep? Perhaps a ploy to get us into bed early....

I need at LEAST eight hours every night.

I can only exist on less if what is occurring in the day is very exciting for example a good day of my work or a day trip, but then the next night I need more!

I HATE hate HATE early mornings, specially in this cold weather, and rarely get up before 9.00am even if I have gone to bed at 11! Friday I have to be at court in Kent at 9 and panicking already!


Really impressed at those who say they can exist on 4 or 5.

I read people need less sleep as they get older.

When does that start then; I'm older than I was!

They say that Winston Churchill survived on 4 - 5 hours per night which was true except he also frequently went back to bed in the afternoons. Thatcher claimed to survive on 4 - 5 hours per night, which is true, but doesn't count on account of the fact that she was not exactly human.

Mmmm, every so often I go into a period of surviving on 4 hours sleep a night. The adrenalin kicks in and I feel absolutely marvellous - and I think I'm terribly productive and performing at my absolute peak.


I usually realise about two weeks in that I have actually become absolutely barmy and could well be sectioned at any moment!


I wonder if that was the case with Thatcher....

I'm sure I would feel better when the alarm clock went off if I got a good 8 hours in first. However, I like to have some time to myself before I go to bed in the evening, and I often work late, so it's not unusual for me to only get to bed 11.30-12, and then I often read in bed, and if I get really gripped by something it might be well past midnight before I get to sleep.


I reckon most of the week I get by on 6-7 hours max, and I can still function at work on 4. Have done so on less when I've been working especially daft hours, though I can only keep that up for a couple of days before I start to get a bit dizzy with exhaustion.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
