Hello! My name is Taylor. Running is for everyone and every level. This is a place for people to share the joy of running and get advice. Happy tumblin' and runnin'!

I just feel asleep for an hour, sitting up, studying for an exam.

Runners need more sleep than an average person because they are so active. I am tired with even 8 hours of sleep! I need about 8.5-10 hours of sleep to feel rested and energized, which never happens. How long do you guys sleep?

  1. no-sense-of-reality answered: i strive for 7
  2. shudaily answered: Yeah, it’s the same for me. I need to get at least 10 hours of sleep to feel active but I end up with around 7 due to schoolwork etc.
  3. herestorunning answered: Between school, work and running i’m lucky if I get 7 a night, but i try to make up for it with naps
  4. mattcanning answered: i need about 9 but can never nod off even when i attempt an early night :-(
  5. 1devotchka answered: even when i’m not actively running, i still need around 9 hours of sleep
