i'm in bed before 2 am thesedays, is this what happens when you get to your mid thirties?. I would say i sleep 5 hours a night solid, then the pee wake up is usually very annoying as i can't fully get back to sleep, then the alarm clock goes off. 56 hours is way too much. 45 hours sleep is a good week. Bloody pee wake ups then when theres someone in the toilet already you have to like wait an age for them to finish.
you sure you're in your mid thirties....ye sound like ma fkn granddad mate.....the best way to garauntee a good night sleep is to hava a wank first....never fails. always best to wait till the wife drops off first tho ha ha ha

Wish I could get 56 hours of sleep a week but I'm too light a sleeper so a rat fart from 100 yards away would wake me up .
Sleep has always been based on work times and job requirements but I always tried to get to bed at regular time, midnight-ish, except on Fridays & Saturdays of course. Being single and on the pull in those days always had a bearing on my night-time activity too of course
I probably get 5-6 hours of kip each night on average which isn't bad at all but I know i'm getting old as I'm on tablets for low thyroxine levels even though I do plenty of exercise and have decent energy level.

Yep, also heard 'I'll sleep when I die'. Thing is though, you won't, you'll die and you won't feel knackered, energetic or anything :D
Fatigue is a fucker so if you deprive yourself of sleep deliberately for the sake of being a 'get up & go' type, you'll regret it. That ain't being old it's being sensible. Only psycho's need 4 hours max sleep on a night ie Maggie Thatcher

Don't know if you've read any James Kelman, Bob, but he has a character in The Bus Conducter Hines who is so overtired he thinks he wouldn't mind being dead, "As long as I could wake up every now and then and appreciate I was getting a fucking rest."
