[labbie]

Just curious where others fall.



How much sleep do you get on average?
5.5-6 hours, 7 if I'm lucky and that's not solid- I always wake up in the night, ugh. I do try to get at least 1 nap in on weekends for 1-2 hours.

  Before 6am= 6-7 days, Before 5am= 1 day, long run, depends on when I start


Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
Not really, depends on what the workout is/what I'm training for


How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
1 at most.


How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
Based on how I run after a good sleep week vs. not, I know I could do better with more sleep. I also eat like crap when I'm tired.

About 7 hours

The only day I regularly get up before 6 is long run day

Anything that starts with 4 or earlier

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
1, whichever weekend day I'm not doing my long run

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
I am definitely one of those people who needs a lot of sleep. It sucks, but it's how my body is. I can function on one short night, but not 2. And trying to train like that? Forget it, no way.

[luckystar2]

How much sleep do you get on average?
Average is probably about 7 hours

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
Pretty much never. My alarm goes off at 6 and I snooze till 6:30

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
Lol like before 8, ha! I never work out in the morning during the week. On the weekends I work out after I sleep in. Races are the earliest I’ll get up to do something.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
Usually Saturday and Sunday depending on if dd has something going on or if I have a race or something.

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
I do think sleep is important. I cannot work out early in the morning. I’m much happier working out in the evening when I’m not tired.

[gt7301b]

How much sleep do you get on average?

Garmin tells me I get between 6.5 and 7.5 hours most nights. I also try and read or chill for 15-30 minutes before I actually go to bed.

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?

DS gets up between 5 and 6 a couple mornings a week. He was up at 5:15 this AM, but went back to bed. I ran after he went back to sleep. I don't wake up before 5 for much of anything.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?

Before 5 AM

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?

Sunday, even if I am not working out I still have to go to work.

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
If I get 7 hours I can function, less than that am I am a hot mess. I think it makes a difference and I try and focus on sleep during taper.

[breezy8407]

How much sleep do you get on average?
5-7 during the week. Sometimes 8 on weekends. 


How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
Weekdays before 6AM. Only before 5AM for work travel or rare morning workout. 


Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
I have been up at 4:30 for a class, but that's the earliest I will do. 


How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
Both weekend days, but the kids are the alarm. Thankfully they usulaly sleep until 6:30am. 


How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
Not really. I think my work stress affects my sleep the most. 

[wambam]

How much sleep do you get on average? 7 hours

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? Before 6 - 6 days/week. Before 5 - generally never. 

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? 4:30

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set? 1, Sunday

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? I think I'm generally more tired during a heavy training cycle.


Also of note: I go through phases were I have horrible, awful insomnia. It usually comes out of nowhere and I'll go multiple days with very little sleep. It's been happening since college. It's really frustrating.

Garmin tells me...

I'm really glad that I'm not the only one who went to check the Garmin data first. 

[oswin]

How much sleep do you get on average? 7-8 hours

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? Only if a kid wakes me up. Normal wakeup time is 6:30

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? Before 6am. Anything earlier requires a bedtime of 9pm which means I get no time with DH (the kids aren't reliably asleep until 8:30 or occasionally 9).

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set? 7 - I wake up naturally by 7 or I get woken up earlier by kids. DH sets an alarm 3 days/week for a 6:30 workout but it almost never wakes me (he's often awake just before it goes off).

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? It's huge. Lack of sleep means I eat like crap then I feel like crap. One night of poor sleep doesn't affect training much, multiple nights has a huge impact.

I almost always try to get to sleep by 10pm, so when I'm lucky I get 8.5 hours of sleep. That's how much I need to actually feel good. Less than 8, I feel okay, less than 7 I'll be okay if it's one night, anything less or with multiple interruptions (baby!) and cognitive functions are significantly diminished and physically it's hard to push (although a nice easy workout just to get moving a little actually helps everything feel better). I also almost never have caffeine, because it has no immediate effect on my tiredness while actually preventing me from sleeping when it's bedtime.

[jane6672]

How much sleep do you get on average?
Typically around 7? I need a solid 8 to be optimal.

Lately not nearly enough, 5-6. It adds up quickly after a couple of days and I'm dragging.

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
None.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
Before 6am.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
1 or 2

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
I perform better (at like, life, haha) when I have adequate sleep.

Running doesn't really make a difference in being tired enough to sleep, but I sleep like the dead after a good weightlifting session.

[mrshandy]

How much sleep do you get on average?
7 hours


How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
It depends on my training cycle. Right now I'm getting up between 5-5:30AM 6 days a week. But on off months maybe 3-4 days a week I will get up that early.


Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
I will do 430-5AM wakeups 1-2 times a month, but try to avoid them as much as I can. I would only do 4AM for like a race or something


How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
At minimum 1 day


How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? I can handle early wakeups once in a while, but if I do them too much, I get super cranky and get headaches later in the day.

[irene adler]

How much sleep do you get on average?
7 hours
How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
I get up most days before 5 am.
Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
Before 4 am. 3:59 is still the middle of the night
How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
0-1
How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
Too much or too little takes away my giddy up, so I try to stay as consistent as possible. I’d rather take a 20 minute nap in my car at lunchtime then sleep in for an hour.

[brooke77]

How much sleep do you get on average? 7 hours

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? DS wakes up at 5:30-6 everyday. Rarely am I ever up before 5.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? For the most part I workout in the evenings, but I refuse to wake up before 5 to workout.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
I could technically sleep in without an alarm 3 days a week. However with DS up so early, it doesn’t matter either way.

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? I have zero energy without enough sleep. I found this out when I was trying to workout and DS was still waking up every 2 hours. I reallllly need sleep to have energy.

[jade]

How much sleep do you get on average?

- 6 - 7 hours, I think

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?

[lilypad1126]

How much sleep do you get on average?

Usually 7-8 hours a night.

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?

I used to get up at 5:15am M-F to work out. Now, I've switched to evening workouts, so I'm only getting up before 6am maybe once or twice a week.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?

I refuse to get up before 4:45am. I've done it before, and it's the worst thing ever for me, so I try to avoid it all costs.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?

Usually 2 (Saturday and Sunday). But work and family gets in my a lot so I end up having to set an alarm at least one of those days more frequently than I'd like.

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?

Sleep affects my training. If I don't sleep well, life goes off the rails, especially my training. So I really try to focus on getting enough sleep. Plus, my H appreciates me (and my attitude) more if I'm sleeping more.

[cinco]

How much sleep do you get on average? 6-8 hours

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? Usually 6am on the nose

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? I don't get up before 5 unless it is for races or work events

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set? Most days. I naturally wake up at 6, so I don't set an alarm unless it is something really important.

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? I need sleep! For training, work, and patience (middle schoolers are not easy fyi, lol)

[sadlebred]

How much sleep do you get on average? 6.5-9 (6.5-7 during the week, up to 9 on the weekend)

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? 5:30 unless it's for a race or event.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set? 0

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? One night with not adequate sleep doesn't' affect me too much. Put 2-3 nights together and my riding suffers.

[chw57]

How much sleep do you get on average? 7.5hrs

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? Up by 5 at least 5days a week

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
Not really. Im up at 4 most days, 530 others. Maybe 6 on the weekends.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?

[secretlyevil]

I’m answering this like I’m in my usual routine:

How much sleep do you get on average?

Seven - eight hours

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?

4:30 am - 5:00 am: six days, depends on what’s on the docket.

Not really considering I’ve done Disney races

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?

One but I’m an early riser by nature

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?

Sleep is super important!

[goldengirlz]

How much sleep do you get on average? I try for at least seven hours each weeknight. On weekends, closer to eight.

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? Not weekly. Maybe once a month. I only get up that early for races and early flights.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? I generally don’t workout in the morning unless it’s a race. If weather is an issue, I prefer evening runs or I’ll say f-it and go to the gym.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set? Usually two (Saturday and Sunday)

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? It certainly affects my motivation!

[Wines Not Whines]

How much sleep do you get on average?
  6-7 hours


How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 6-7 days  5AM?
5 days


Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
Before 4 am. My earliest alarm is set for 4:15 am.   


How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
Sometimes one, sometimes zero.  


How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
Lack of sleep has been a problem for me. I need more sleep and down time to recover. 

[taratru]

Answering like it's school time, since summer is way all over the place. 

How much sleep do you get on average? 7-8 hours


How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? All of them before 6. Never before 5, unless there's a race. 


Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? Nope. I've done a 4 am long run because I had to do it before school. I will do anything I can to avoid doing workouts after school. 


How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set? Usually at least one on the weekend. 


How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? If I'm not sleeping well, my workouts suffer, period. During school I'm exhausted already, so I'm in bed every night by 9, asleep by 10. 

[emilyj]

How much sleep do you get on average?
- Average? Probably about 8. I vary pretty frequently between 6 and 10 hours/night.

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
- Usually only race days, or if I have no other choice. I’m a night worker-outer, and a night owl.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
- Nah. I’ll do what I have to.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
- 5 days. I’ll set it on my teaching days, but I usually am up before it goes off.

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
- Too little and I’m a mess. I’ve been having a lot of trouble sleeping lately. I can do a couple days on 5 hours, but it will be harder. After a couple days of that or less than 5, it’s the struggle bus.

[mrsukyankee]

How much sleep do you get on average? at this point, I have no average - being perimenopausal, my sleep is constantly changing.  I hope for 7-8 hours, sometimes get it, sometimes get a lot less and sometimes a bit more

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM? Right now I don't have to get up before 6am as I'm not running long enough to need to do so and have off two days a week. Before the summer, I'd get up once before 6am at 5:30am.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out? I would prefer to get up after 6am and I won't get up earlier than 5:30am.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set? try for weekends 

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle? YES, insanely so, to the point that I won't work out if I get less than 5 hours of sleep (I have gotten injured every time I try).

[shauni27]

wow, some of you are so dedicated! I only wake up early for exercise if it is for a race. I do not do well with AM exercise and rarely will I get up to run in the AM. Occasionally I will do like a 2 mile run before work, but I am still waking up at 6 at the earliest. I love bed.

Now that S is here I do not really set an alarm and he wakes me between 6-7 95% of the time.

[wawa]

How much sleep do you get on average?
6-7 hours


How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
  6 AM is sleeping in during the week for me.  I do that on thursdays.  The other 4 days I get up at 4:30-5 to workout before work and get there by 7.  Saturdays we get up at 6 to bike.  Sundays it depends what time I'm running and how far and how much we have going on that day.  Anywhere from 4 AM to 7.


Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?

3:xxAM is still the night before, not that morning, and I won't do it.  Except for a race.  Or if I have to.


How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?

uhhh...none.  Unless I'm skipping a workout.  And even then the kids get me up by 7.


How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?


I'm not sure...i've never had a chance to both train and be what I'd consider well rested.  

[mrs.jacinthe]

How much sleep do you get on average?
6 hours - not enough

How many days a week do you typically get up before 6AM? 5AM?
I'm up at 4:30 probably 5 or 6 days per week.

Do you have a time that you refuse to get up to work out?
Apparently not.

How many days a week do you sleep in with no alarm set?
One, usually, but the dog wakes us up at whatever time her bladder goes off.  We call it setting the alarm for 'dog o'clock'.

How do you think sleep affects your training cycle?
I would love to get more sleep, as lack of sleep affects me in a variety of ways, but I actually don't think swimming is one of them.  I'm pretty consistent with my swimming no matter how much sleep I have or haven't gotten.
