I was wondering who here sleeps alot. I don't mean a normal 8 hours, but instead like 10 or 11. Do you feel comfortable not getting a longer rest than other people do?

I find that when I'm not taking Zoloft I tend to sleep alot longer, I mean 10 hours at least. On it I can manage 7-8 but it's hard.

I was just interested in the idea this might be an AS trait. It's really annoying because I'd rather be doing other things, but alas I suppose I must live with it for now.

PS What else do you have to say about sleep and it's effects on you?

Sometimes it seems to me that I sleep a lot, but that's only because I will slept into the day....

I'm backwards when it comes to sleep. I can't sleep comfortably at night, but I sleep wonderfully during the day.

I usually sleep for about six or seven hours at a time when I'm not very tired. Sometimes I only have about three or four hours in bed. If I'm absolutely exhausted I can have a good twelve hours asleep.

I tend to stay up very late, sometimes till 5am (I find lots of things to do on the Internet) then hit the hay and some times sleep all day.

I also sleep normal times when I feel like it.

I sure as hell do. The normal routine consists of sitting in front of the computer reading wikipedia until I'm pretty much exhausted; then go to bed. I probably sleep between 8 to 12 hours on a normal day. Also I've noticed that I sleep the longest if I've managed to turn night into day.

When I still lived at my parents house, and my mum would get up at 5:30 or 6 am and I hadn't gone to bed yet, she'd refer to it as me "staying up early" :D

I have a rather irregular sleep pattern. Sometimes, I'm on the net until around 2am, then I don't wake up until 11.

I have no control of my sleep and have constant changing sleeping pattern and napping at odd times. My guess is I still get closer to 8 hr per 24 than not. But thats factoring staying up 48 hr at a time and sleeping 16 hrs to.

I can sleep all night and day if left alone. I don't know why I like to sleep so much. It gets so that I look forward to it all day.
