    Default XXE vs. XXI and Sleeping Hours

    There was a previpous thread about hours of sleep, but this one is more specific. I have come to believe that extratims need more sleep than introtims do. This is probably because extratims have higher energy levels during the day. Has anyone else noticed this trend?

    I prefer 8 or 9, can deal with 6 if I'm not going to have to do anything requiring me to interact on any serious level with another human being, cuz I won't be happy.

    I get very little sleep, around 5 to 7 hours per night. But, I'm always weaker and less active during the day than my duals are.

    I usually get ten. Eight hours is sufficient. I can function on six as long as I sleep in the day before or after.

    I need around 9. 8 I feel groggy, 10 I get sleep inertia. If I don't get enough I'm really cranky and don't feel like dealing with people.

    I know active people who sleep very little, lazy ones who get more sleep than an old dog, and any range and combination in between. I don't think there's a strong typological correlation.

    However, I'll agree that ILIs like myself and others that I know will often pursue personal interests at the expense of sleep.

    Personally I've got to be both mentally and bodily exhausted to doze off, so even when I've got a regular construction gig and spend all my free time in "heavy" reading I still get no more than 4-6 hours a night.

    I love to do marathon sleeping 12+ hours, but I don't do it so often anymore. 10 hours (best) to 8 hours (fine) is what I usually get. My sleep schedule kind of rotates around the day/night as the month progresses. A few weeks ago I was going to sleep around 6 or 7pm and waking up around 4am. today (and recently) I've been going to sleep around 6am and waking up around 3pm.

    Yep. My ILI needs a lot of sleep. And he sleeps very deeply, too. He has trouble getting himself to bed, though; wants to stay up all hours of the night reading webcomics and watching super hero cartoons on YouTube But, once he's in bed he is difficult to budge anytime before 8 AM; he would gladly sleep in much later if he didn't have to get up for work (or for early morning cartoons on Saturdays).

    I am a light sleeper, and past a certain point in the morning I start to have [i]really[/] crazy dreams if I sleep in. I think ideally, I would sleep from around 11 PM to 7 AM. If I didn't wake up frequently throughout the night (regardless of my children), I could probably get by on less; but sometimes I will spend a good half-hour or so lying awake in the middle of the night. So most realistically, I probably need around 9 hours in bed.

    I need to sleep no less than 7 hours to feel good, otherwise I don't think as clearly as if I had slept an okay amount. However, I can't sleep more than 9 hours - at most, I slept 10 hours in a row, never more than that.
    If I don't exercise for more than one week, I can get by with 4 or 5 hours of sleep, but that's suboptimal - I start feeling like shit after a while.

    Introverts I know seem to handle better a larger variation in their sleep patterns, but it might have to do with my PoLR, too. Oh, and I can't sleep during the day at all. I'm very sensitive to sunlight - if my room isn't dark enough, I need to cover my eyes with something, otherwise I wake up at 6 AM.

    "Researchers say sudden exposure to light can upset a sleeping individual's 'body clock,' even if snoozing continues uninterrupted. The experts believe their insights into light's effects on the sleep/wake cycle could further research into the treatment of common sleep disorders.

    "Nighttime exposure to light begins to motion a chemical process which can function as a precise, selective, and very rapid neural switch controlling the sleep/wake cycle.

    "The sleep/wake cycle is controlled, in large part, by the secretion of melatonin by the pineal gland, which is located deep within the brain. Melatonin production surges during nighttime sleep. One of the biochemical machines involved in the production of melatonin is this enzyme, AA-NAT (N-acetyltransferase).

    "It's the only one of the machines there that can turn production on and off. A rise in AA-NAT levels triggers a concurrent rise in sleep-inducing melatonin. AA-NAT levels can be reduced when consumed by barrel-shaped cell structures called proteasomes. Usually, the regular nighttime activity of the pineal gland effectively shields AA-NAT against proteasomal destruction.

    "The simple clicking on of a bedside lamp means light comes along, blocks (pineal) stimulation, and the (AA-NAT) protein is zapped by the ever-ready proteasomes. The result? A simultaneous drop in melatonin levels. Light exposure is a very good way of controlling melatonin production. Since melatonin is directly linked to the workings of the mind's sleep/wake 'clock,' therapies that replicate the potent effects of light on melatonin production could prove effective in treating conditions such as jet lag or insomnia."

    That pretty much applies to me, too. Although I can 'create energy' if I need it. I prefer around 7 hours of sleep, but 10 hours seems excessive. That's only 14 hours of "doing stuff" a day.........


    I think too much sleep is actually a problem for people (it seems to slow them down or put them in a funk), and I also recall reading something about how too much sleep is actually not the best for your body.


    I think that "super rational" or dominant rational types Fe ESE and Te LSE can be very sensitive to things like that - they have " a routine" and don't really question it, and like a certain amount of sleep to feel "comfortable". But I think it's relative to the person and how they view sleep and 'being active' during their days.
    Posts I wrote in the past contain less nuance.

    So maybe sleep is more temperament-related.

    I could sleep 10 hours if I could get it. I would love that. But my Ip husband could too.

    My optimal sleep is around seven hours. I regularly get four to five. I often get around 10 on the weekend, which is far too much.

    idk this sounds more human related than anything, but how each type might function on X amount of sleep might have some weight

    speaking of, if I don't get at least 8+ hours I tend to feel like garbage; I can still function and get things done but I generally avoid a lot of social interaction, it takes too much energy
