re: What's the longest stretch of subpar sleep you've ever had?

You know how I know that you don't have kids

I'm 8 months or so into a 4-5 hour of sleep pattern and it's shitty sleep at that. No idea why it's happening, but it sucks

14 years of being a drunk. Only person who could sleep 10 hours and be exhausted.

We're now past midnight and I'm still awake but tired. I think this is turning me into an a-hole.

Like the past 10+ years. Look at what time I post on TD every night/am and it was no different before I started posting

Man I did two pumps to Afghanistan, the last one in 2012 but my sleep was fine up until last year. You have nightmares or what?

I have slept 5-6 hours a night for over 30 years.

You can sleep when you are dead.

My dad ran on 5 hours of sleep for 15 years. Glad he's finally retired.

5-6 is optimal.


Anyone sleeping more than 6 is just being lazy.

I was talking last night about a couple stretches I've had where it got to the point I was a zombie and falling asleep and not even knowing it.


Funny story, last year was in Orlando and was helping set up chairs in an empty warehouse next to the office for a function. I had been on about a 2 week bender where only getting 3-4 hours of sleep a night and drinking heavily on top of it and not recovering. So I was picking up chairs and supposed to be setting them up, well I fall asleep walking and walk slap across the building and run directly into a wall face first. It startled me and I had no idea what was up. So I told myself I need to walk over to the office. I walk outside and apparently fell asleep again walking and walked about 100 yards the opposite direction when someone started screaming at me asking why I was walking to the woods. Crazy shite. I ended up losing my phone and finding it in the middle of the parking lot the next day.
