Sleep results

My son Brian, who just graduated college with a Mathematics degree, crunched the sleep numbers for us. Here was his response:

The mean, or average, was 5.79.  The only numbers that I omitted were
the 9 the 8, however the 8 had a response as to when they were working,
so I used that response of 4.5. So the mean was 5.79. The median,
(the middle term of all the terms), was 6. The standard deviation was
.95. That means that from 5.79-.95 to 5.79+.95 approximately 68% of the data falls in there.
5.79-2(.95) to 5.79+2(.95) approximately 95% of the data falls there.

With the outliers of 9 and 8 hours, the avg becomes 6.17 hours and
changes everything else around a little bit more.


Now back to Jamyhawk: I am amazed at the number of hours. Under 6 hours of sleep for most people that are playing for fun or little extra cash. That seems crazy. We even had one with 3 hours a night? ? ? C'mon Riggs, that can't be healthy. And of course: congratulations to Smokkee who seems to be eating his cake and having it too. 9 hours of sleep a night. I don't even get 9 hours when catching up on the weekends.

Hope everyone enjoyed the little survey. I'll try another one soon.

My son Cal qualified for State in the 200 meter open, as expected. Top 16 runners in the state go at it this Friday and Saturday. Run Cal Run.

Don't forget to check out these sites: WillWonka and his What Would You Do hands, and OhCaptain and 20 questions.

I'm too tired to post any more (4 1/2 hours last night for me).

Stay patient. . . or maybe I should say: Get some rest.

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.
