Look fella, it’s not our job to put together a plan to show you how to get 8hrs. of sleep. The question K asked was “how much sleep is necessary?”
Use some imagination, I’ll give you a hint: SACRIFICE. Now figure it out!
I see that nowadays people want everything handed to them on a freaking platter. Life is not that easy. Most of the time you have to figure out the details for yourself. Stop looking for someone to tell how to get 8hrs of sleep per night. Know that it is important that you do get it, and figure a way to “make it so.”
Did anyone mention circadian rythmn and the biological clock of the human body. This is one of the reason’s we should keep a good sleep schedule. Altering your time of waking or time of going to bed can produce jet lag effects during training.
Fella?? Fella? 1st, Do us all a favour if your going to post something, at least make it constructive and not a slam towards me or others, I don’t (and I doubt others) appreciate or learn anything from immature comments like that.
2nd, are you sure K’s question is “how much sleep is necessary?” maybe you should bother to read the thread title first before posting. His question was “how important is sleep?” and if you bothered to read ALL my other posts instead of reading my most recent ones you would see that I answered YES to K’s question.
3rd, who the heck even said I was expecting you, Charlie, or anyone else here to make a plan for me on how to get 8hrs of sleep??
“I see that nowadays people want everything handed to them on a freaking platter.” Did I ask for anything?? Did I?
Know that it is important that you do get it, and figure a way to “make it so.” Maybe you should read my post on page 5 of this thread before saying this to me.
Finally, I have always answered to the best of my ability based on my knowledge and experiences (be it personal or through observation of others), just as Charlie does, just as everyone here does. I never once maintained that I knew the correct answer, infact, I claimed that I didn’t.
I have always been the type of person that if I am wrong or did/said something wrong, I would be the first to apologize and admit when I am wrong, but as I have said before and as you quoted me in your post THERE IS NOTHING ON THIS THREAD THAT HAS YET TO CONVINCE ME THAT YOU CAN GET 8HRS SLEEP/NIGHT. (i say this based on ALL the posts I made)
And Lastly, my name is Vito, I assume you can read, so next time use that and not “Fella”
Real Deal, I stand corrected, I reviewed the thread over again and noticed that K did infact post the question you said (how much sleep is necessary?) and as I mentioned in my last post, if I am wrong or incorrect I am the type of person that will always apologize first, as I am doing now. However, keep in mind that K did also pose his question (title of this thread), how important is sleep? which is what I had answered and was the main question/purpose (I assume) of this thread.
2nd, I used the term “convince” that you quoted me, in that all the posts in this thread fail to show any practical solution in getting 8hrs sleep/night. Clemson says it best when he says you have to find a way, as I implied in my previous posts, but I still maintain that there ins’t an answer, just that you have to get as many good night sleep’s as you can b/c its vital to being a successful athlete.
People/Ahthletes/coaches come here to learn about topics that can help them, that means, that if someone poses a question (as K did) and others answer, its b/c they want to answer or help others on this forum not b/c its “your responsibility” to come up with a solution for me. If don’t want to answer then don’t! But if you do want to contribute, then be prepared to answer questions like, why or have the sac to anti-up when someone calls you out on your knowledge/experiences. This is how people learn, one person asks a question or comment and others refute or agree and take it one step further, I assume that’s the whole point of this great forum.
Lastly, it doesn’t take an english major to understand that the connotation/context of you addressing me as “fella” wasn’t anything more than that of fellow or mate, I don’t appreciate it and all I ask is that you use a little more courtesy and address me by name. Does this sound fair?? am I acting like “a little biziach”?
My point has been that practical solutions in this case has to be individualize and sacrifices have to be made. What sacrifices has to be made? It all depends on priorities -possible choices in this case consists of classes, work, social/love life, and athletics, etc.
You’re preaching to the choir here… If you look at the FIRST response to this thread. You will see that I answered the part of the question that asked, “how much sleep is necessary?” I am well aware of the reason for this forum existence. Consequently if we are beating a dead horse I don’t see a problem with expressing that opinion
And I could easily say that the connotation/context of your statement insinuates that I’m a liar. Do you see how trying to interpret words and meanings can become a problem. If you are not sure about my intent, ask. But flying off the handle does NOTHING but antagonize. Having said that, if you want to be called Vito fine. Personally, I don’t have any problems if you called me fella, mate, or dude. But that’s just me.
If you want to continue this via PM, fine. But let’s not tie up this thread going back and forth…ok?
