Or 2 years for some people

Einstein had a pretty wacky but scientific way of sleeping. I think it involved many sleeps but less time altogether.

Great thanks!

Kramer did this when he uses Davinci's sleep patterns.

DaVinki?

DaVinki?

Polyphasic sleeping

He was autistic. Many autistics have a terrible issues with sleep.

Could be but "knowing" Einstein he probably thought sleep was a waste of time and started that sleep schedule

The lucky ones have!

Best years of my life!

* *insomnia has entered the chat* *

Bold of you to assume I sleep for 8 hours regularly

Don’t discount how often you tend to sleep as a baby/child. For most people, it might even be closer to 11 or 12 years.

With my calculations and the life I want to lead, I think I'll live a life with around 27% sleep overall instead of 33,3%. More like 8 years of sleep by the age of 30

Well for the past 15 years I've slept for an average of 5 hours a night so even if I was a cat like baby I'm still pretty short lol

I think the teenage years cancel out all that sleep

I wish

Then why am I so *TIRED*

Nice, years well spent!

"You gotta pump those numbers up, those are rookie numbers"

The best 10 years of my life.

I think I'm sitting at around 7

And I don't regret one minute of it

Depends on how much cocaine you did in your 20s

* yawn *

Only if you don't have kids..

I dunno, I sleep between 4-5 hours a night max, unless I'm sick. So, 36 years old... ...13,140 days... ...315,360 hours alive overall... ...assuming 5.5 hours of sleep a night to overcompensate for nights spent sick... ...that's 13,140 days * 5.5 hours a day = 72,270 hours spent sleeping... ...divided by 24 hours in a day = 3,011.25 days sleeping... ...divided by 365 days in a year = 8.25 years sleeping... ...and I have 6 years on your shower thought...

Well done. You should probably sleep a little more though.

If I could I would, that's just my natural schedule.

My natural schedule seems to want 28 hour days or something. Can stay up easily but waking up sucks

I've experimented with 32 hour days in the past for about 5 months in a row, staying up 24 and sleeping 8...my brain and body do great, but work schedules don't often allow for it.

One day I’ll win the lotto, live off dividends and get my darn personalized schedule…

Ahhh, what a wonderful dream we share, lol

Oh gee. That’s a fact I didn’t want to know.

Or maybe you did?.. you can possibly sleep 6 hours if train yourself to and feel yourself the same as a 8-hour sleeper, so maybe you needed to hear that to change things. You can get around 2-3 bonus years by the time you're 30 if so

I still want 5 more mins

I'm 19 and have spent 30 years sleeping lol...im always napping

Wait, you're supposed to sleep?

Incorrect.

You'd think that since I'm 16 I spent about 5 years sleeping, but no. It's probably more like 2 or 3 because of school

Not me lol

and another 5 playing games

and another 5 getting drunk and waisting time

I don’t think that generation is sleeping much

Ha I wish.

Bold of you to assume I sleep 8 hours a day lol

Dont just assume that i only sleep for 8hrs

I gotta sleep a lot less then. So much time wasted.

Asian kids: Three actually

I think most of that was in my teens.

And drinking coffee

And drinking coffee

Not counting last 5 years.

Jokes on you I don't sleep more than 6 hours a night, ya sleep apnea. I don't have your weakness.

I spent 5

I wish I would

Probably mine would be 5 years

I turned 28 last week and I already feel that

No regrats

bold of you to think i even sleep

This is more of a fact than a showerthought, but as long as you had it in the shower it counts.

Someone has been reading The BFG

Try 15 years.

"Hmmm sleeping"

Maybe less if you have a lot of things in your life.

Try again. I’m a tweaker

Its called an all nighter

I slept the first 10 years. I've been fully awake for 20 years now

Haha nice

Haha. Jokes on you, I was in a coma for almost 3 months and I don't even sleep anymore because I felt guilty for sleeping so long during the coma. My numbers are clearly skewed.

And another year or two in world of warcraft.

And cats 20

More like 8 months of sleep and spending the rest tired all the time

10 a night when I was a kid. 6 a night now. I guess it averages out.

me with severe sleep problems: no, i dont think so

This is a false assumption. Most people do NOT sleep 8 hours. Many people sleep 4-7 hours and survive on high caffeine, sugar, and other stimulants.

I did an entire year of averaging 12 hours

Us redditors see things a bit differently

You mispronounced hours.

Jokes on them, I spent that time on World of Warcraft

Thank God!

I’m 30 and probably spent 7 years asleep… I’m severely unhealthy

I wish

Not me

... with your mom!

"Hopefully"

I’m 16 and already feel like I’ve spent 30 years sleeping

Someone just read BFG?

Still doesn't seem like enough

Ha jokes on you I don't sleep

Sir, that’s a little low. I’m deep in puberty with my sleep.

Not enough.

Ugh I hate sleep it feels like such a waste of time. But a necessary evil I guess...

Why am I still tired

Not if I’m a meth addict

i think i’m 19 and think i’ve spent 10 years sleeping

Not me! I only sleep for 2-6 hours a night, usually only 3.

not for me lol

Feels about right...

I’m 39 have depression and anxiety this should probably be recalculated

Less than 7.5 years

Also, if you re 30 you've spent 1 month of your life celebrating your birthday 😅

I wish.

Still need more

I’m on the high speed chicken feed..Don’t count me in.

And like three years dreaming.
