Sleep and Coffee

Curiosity Question - how many hours of sleep do you average at night, and how many cups of coffee do you drink throughout the day?

I average 6 hours of sleep (8 on the weekends), and drink about 2-3 cups per day.

    Sounds about the same as me. 6 hours sleep, 2 cups of coffee :)

    I'm grumy and dopey and sleepy and a bunch of other dwarves without those. :)

    On the mornings i workout, i'll get about 6 hours, and on my rest days i get 7. As far as coffee goes, i drink two cups in the morning, and that's my caffeine intake for the day.

    6-7 hours of sleep per night and roughly 16-20oz of coffee per day.

    1 cup of coffee 4 days a week, 5 hrs sleep but I have my odd 12 hour hibernation.

    Lately 5 cups of coffee and 4 hours sleep since it's exam time.

    Hibernation time in t minus 7 hours. Hopefully with bf or snuggly animal of some sort (I have a cat who's fluffy and scratchy, he has a dog that's cuddly and boney).

    6-7 hours of sleep, 5-6 cups of coffee. I don't see them as being related.

    I sleep about 6 hours too (on a good night) and I drink 1 energy drink.. No coffee here. My hubby drinks black coffee every morning but I don't like the taste of it plain. I'd rather have a french vanilla.

    5 to 7 hours of sleep & 1 to 2 cups of coffee. Way down from 4 or 5 cups last year.

    I'm not really a coffee drinker. Somtimes I'll grab a tall skinny caramel frap from Starbucks but that's not really coffee, right? :tongue: On the weekdays I average about 6-7 hours of sleep every night. On the weekends it's closer to 8 hours each night. Depends on my 2 year old son. Some mornings he rises before the sun.

    6-9 hours of sleep (most often 7-7.5), and 2-4 cups of coffee, for many years. Used to drink a lot more coffee and sleep less, but a kidney stone changed that habit fairly quickly.

    If you're interested about sources of caffeine more generally, I also have a pre-workout drink that has as much caffeine as coffee... I have to be careful not to take that too late in the day or I have trouble sleeping.

    I usually get between 7-9 hours of sleep a night and I drink about 3-4 cups of coffee a day.

    I sleep 8 hours at night, straight through without waking up and I drink 1 cup of coffee per week from the cafe at church on Sunday's.

    I USED to drink 4-5 cups per day but I gave it up a few months ago. I wasn't sleeping, loosing weight (I'd fill up on coffee and not eat) and was a raging beyotch from being so jacked up on coffee to cover up exhaustion all of the time. I traded it for 1 mug of hot tea in the morning and I've been fine since. I love coffee but it's super addictive to me.

    I like that -- 8 hours "straight through". Spoken like a mom!

    I sleep 7-8 hours on a good night, 4-5 on a bad night(like I get caught up in a book or movie and can't turn off the tv or the 2yo won't sleep). About 2 cups of coffee every morning. That's it for caffeine, unless I'm desperate.

    I am always tired though...doesn't matter how much I sleep!
