    When I was in the army I had to go out in the desert and I was getting around 4-5. A human can live off of 4 hrs UNINTERRUPTED sleep

    so basically anything under that, a human can go (of course days and days with this cycle) on doing things/ what would they do? keep falling asleep ? be weak?

    Have you ever tried it? You start to see things that arnt there. Also you rhearing gets extra sensitive and your body starts to get dumb and shaky. If you just have to find out closest and QUICKEST way is to get over the counter sleeps meds where it says take ONE in a 8 hr period and just go ahead and take 4-5. You will get the same effects and be miserable.

    As long as I get at least 4 hours of sleep I'm straight during the day. The hard part is actually waking up and getting out the bed. I'll wake up and lay in the bed for 15 mins or so "I'll get up soon" hahaha

    I can never sleep 8 hours or more. I'll try but I feel like crap the rest of the day....kinda weird...

    I'm able to manage on 3 hours. I feel so energized with only 3 hours. Haven't figured out why it works out that way for me

    Tell most of my friends in iraq right now that. They seem to function pretty well on very little to no sleep at all for months and hasn't hurt them yet.

    8-9hrs is awesome because when i get it, i feel well rested and full of energy... but normally i have to make it through the day in zombie-like form with only 6-7hrs.

    My schedule of late has been about 4-5am til about 12-2pm. So I get 9+ usually, but can feel fine throughout the day on less.

    When I do get less than 7 or 8 I can take a nap and feel great.

    So really I haven't found my exact sleep schedule or what makes me feel the best, lol.

    During the school year I only need around 7 hours or less. So I guess that is all I need.

    I am currently in Afghanistan and get anywhere from 4-6 hours of sleep. That's all I need to do what I do everyday, but I see the "younger" generation needs alot more. Pretty lazy if you ask me, then when they get the 8-10 hours their lazy asses get, they fall asleep anyways. What's up with that????
