Yess true
That reminds me of something, its not exaclty about sleeping. Theres this bacteria that goes dorment when its under unfavorable conditions. Scientists say they can be dorment for up to 300 years.
Oh and hibernation is actually unhealthy. It's part of some animals livestyles but it is in fact unhealthy. Animals that hibernate can loose up to 1/3 of their own body wieght. There are also many others things that can harm a hibernating animal..
Yes the do but they lose the weight so fast. I dont know all the details I read something about it in a magazine.
Hey I have an idea...Try to stay awake for as long as possible and see how long you can sleep for..
HAHA that's a good idea (interesting at least), but try seeing how long you can sustain the strange mindset you get into after such a long time. that's when i strated looking into polyphasic sleeping. after being awake for a day i wondered how long i could keep doing just that, when someone told me i never really HAD to sleep a whole bnight again. being awake is fun :yumdumdoodledum:
I've been awake for long periods of time before, but that was only because I had an objective which made it much easier then what it probably would have been. But I want to see how long I can stay awake for, it will be hard.
It depends. Over the summer i slept for a looong time, and it started affecting my sleep patterns. I started falling asleep about 4 in the morning and waking up at one. i was becoming nocturnal! i just COULD NOT SLEEP. the doctor just told me to wake up earlier, which sux cuz im a teen and i like sleeping, but not being able to get to sleep sux. so now i have school and its all good b/c i have to wake up at six oclock in the friggin mornin and fall asleep round ten. eight hours.. i still fall asleep in class. but if you sleep 10-12 hours a day, it could lead to problems w/ sleeping.
well maybe I'm not the best one to say what I think. anyway know people who sleep "too much" 10-12 hours even more and those people seem ok, fresh and whatever...in a good shape.
I always had a sleeping problems. it was more like...=> I could never get more than 6 hours of sleep. I spent a lot of time in bed just staring ...I would fall asleep around 1 am and get up at seven having nothing to do. with school and work my sleep became little bit more troubled. I could woke up several times a night. but still 2 hours of sleep made me feel well.
Only induced lucid dreaming made me sleep for eight hours.
Now I take magne B6 (calcium, magnesium and B6 vitamin). I don't know what it is supposed to do. but it affects my sleep. Now I'm capable of falling asleed and really sleep for about 8 hours. but I still CAN'T sleep more. so I don't consider sleeping more a good thing. (at least for me)
I think that sleeping more than 10 hours is good for you in case if you are ill. (as this is the only time when I sleep more than 8 hours a day)
