"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
How much sleep is enough/healthy?

The experts say 7-8hrs/day is all you need. If you sleep as long as you wanted- you can easily exceed 10hrs, no problem. The downside is that your tiredness cycles start occuring past 9hrs. When I broke my collarbone recently- I was logging 10-15hrs/day of sleep(nothing to do)......and my collarbone healed in record time- 5 weeks. Now I know why my mom always woke us up early, on weekends.......we always thought we could sleep-in.
The human body thrives on breaking itself down(through work, exercise), and sleep regenerates us daily.
Sleep as long as you like = depression=unproductive=always tired=no puzzy.

Weeks ago i downloaded a book " HOW TO SLEEP LESS AND HAVE MORE ENERGY THAN EVER ". I read just first pages and it said , 6-8 hours is a myth . It said all you need is 4-6 hours . I dont know .
Same, I feel sluggish.Kerpal said:I have noticed that if I sleep more than 8 hours I actually feel more tired the next day and it screws up my whole sleeping schedule. 6-8 hours seems to be the "sweet spot" for me.
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
I heard that taking little naps during the day maybe an hour or 1 30 does so much better for your body then crashing into a comma at night for 9 hours straight. I usually fall asleep for an hour and feel good without the whole groggy feeling then continue with my day then take another hour nap then go again , I think once it's like 1 AM I sleep till 5 and start my day ....so it works for me and I usually dont feel groggy unless I stay up later then usual.

I've seen a program about this on I forget what news channel, but they did a study and found that the people who generally have cancer excessively sleep. I've never believed in the alarm clock, I always woke up whenever I wanted but I try my best not to sleep in. Reason is because I tend to be even more sleepy when I sleep more, and I just stay in the bed until I can't sleep anymore.

I always feel like 10pm to 6:00am gives me the best feeling. Eight hours is my sweet spot.
Exact same.yep said:I always feel like 10pm to 6:00am gives me the best feeling. Eight hours is my sweet spot.
Relating to what an earlier poster said, I do feel like if I fall short of my eight hours and get, say, six, I can take a two hour nap the next day and wake up feeling awesome. So maybe it's just eight hours per twenty-four hour period and not necessarily eight hours straight.
leave yourself an 8 hour window and aim for 7 hours of actual sleep, but don't force the issue, and try to avoid using an alarm to wake you if possible. it may take some time to get used to, but your body is made to wake itself up (we got along just fine before the digital alarm clock).
everyone's cycle is a little bit different, but ideally you would come out of a cycle naturally as you wake.

"She Laughed All Night. Then She Ghosted You. Here's Why."
Dinner ran three hours. She laughed at everything. You walked her to her car thinking this one's locked in.
Then: nothing. Two texts. No reply. What happened?
You did what most men do on a great date. You filled every silence, answered every question, and left her with nothing to wonder about. No mystery. Nothing to sit with when she got home.
Rule 3 of the "22 Rules" changes the ending: tell her a little, hold back the rest, and let her imagination do the chasing. The ghosting stops too.
11 PM - 7 AM = 8 hours.
Always worked, hopefully always will.
Afternoon naps are too awkward, our body needs "deep sleep" which most of the time, cannot be achieved through short afternoon naps. (I remember reading that in a magazine somewhere.)

I've personally found that even more important than number of hours of sleep is when I sleep. For example if I get the same 8 hours 11pm to 7 am I feel much better than 3 am to 11 am.
Anyone else find this, and if so, anyone know why?

Its something relating to your testosterone levels and how they are high in the morning. Not exactly sure how this works but im sure your body is supposed to wake up earlier than 11 naturally, and that may have a effect.

If you feel sluggish turn the water to freezing at the end of your shower for 5 mins. It'll wake you right up !
