How Much Do you Sleep?

Please comment with avg. sleep hours/lowest hours ever.

Seriously! I would like to know how much you sleep. Obviously, the majority of the bloggers playing online poker have day jobs. So to play in a 4 hour or longer MTT, and work an 8-10 hour day, and have any other kind of life, there's not much sleep time. I would like to compile some numbers and see what kind of sleepers (or non sleepers) the blogger community has.

Please post in comments average number of hours slept per night on work nights. You might catch up on the weekends, but I don't care about that. And please post the least amount of hours of sleep you have had after playing online poker before going to work.

Avg. Sleep Hours/Lowest Hours ever

5.5/3 are my numbers

If you don't mind posting a link to this particular post in your next post, I would really appreciate it. I would love to get as many numbers as possible.

When I was still working, I probably averaged 5.5 hours a night.

Least amount of sleep? 0. Yup. I've pulled all night poker sessions and dragged myself right into work.

I'm also between 5 and 6 so I'll say 5.5.

I would say my lowest was 2.

hey, I dedicated a post to you the other day on how to fold KK. I hope you get/got a laugh out of it.

After re-reading it, I said speaking of maniac players... Jamyhawk. I wasn't referring to you as a maniac... I was referring to the guy I was playing. It just was worded badly. DOH!!!

Avg 6. Lowest 4. I need my sleep. Which is why I never play any MTTs that start after 10pm... And since I never go deep in a huge MTT, it's never been a problem.

Now we are talking week nights right? I've had all night sessions before live but those were in vegas so they obv don't count.

Nice how the jobless sleep well. I mostly sleep 5 because of bad sleep not poker. The least because of poker was red-eye back from the blogger gatherings in December and heading right to work.

I'm not really playing any worknight MTTs anymore for this very reason. The 2.5 hours I got after final tabling the 50/50 a couple of weeks ago taught me a lesson.

6.5/2.5

I average 6.5 hours. I hate mornings. A career has been the worst thing I ever did. Why aren't business hours 11 to 7?

My least: 0 once from poker. I find that not sleeping is better then 2 hours.

My longest with out sleep: in college I got up at 8 am on Monday morning and went to bed Thursday afternoon. You want funky visions without prison? Stay awake for days. Frickin' dog freaked me out in class. Then a friend asked me what dog. I went back to the dorm and climbed into bed.

Probably 6 and 3, but I show up for work late almost every single day.

6.5/4

Interesting question, jamy. I don't count, as I work evenings now, but before my schedule change it was around 4.5/2 on most nights...that was just killing me. I kept a bad attitude and was sick all the time. I was so glad for the change of schedule! Now it's a solid 8hrs everyday. Happy and healthy. :)

I average about 6 hours of sleep, and I have gone 48 hours without sleep once. I proceeeded to sleep the next 14 hours when I did hit the hay.

It was over a girl too, such an idiot.

At home for the summer, average sleep would be about 6 hours a night. I've gone 48 hours without sleep, mostly because of poker. All night college games are juicy.
