Poll of the Day > How much of your life do you spend in your bed?

(+) Yeah! (+)

They always say something like, "You spend 1/3 of your life sleeping so do it well". Or something similar like spending 1/3 in bed... But how much of your life do you spend in your bed. I know some people that sleep for like way less than 8 hours, and are out a lot, so they may spend less time in bed. I know people who sleep for longer. And they just stay in bed just because. I know these days, I'm in my bed watching tv or playing games a lot. And a few months ago, I stayed in the living room for most of my free time, even falling asleep on the couch a bunch... So, it's one of those things that's different for everyone.

So how much of your life do you think you spend in bed? And why?

40% or less sounds about right. I only ever sleep in my bed and that's around 6 hours a day. Why? My brain sees my "pit" as sleeping grounds. I find it very hard to sleep elsewhere. My brain doesn't "turn off" for long. This is also why I don't nap.

I need a "not enough" option.

I'm probably the opposite for where I can sleep. As I can sleep just about anywhere. Haha. I'm use to it.

I wish that was me. Also I could probably hear a mouse fart when I'm trying to sleep.

Growing up I was almost always in bed. My gaming systems were in my bedroom so I would be there.
---

On the lower end of 40-50% probably. I like to watch stuff in bed.
---

0-10%

I pass out on the couch way too often, so Im not in my bed all that much. If the question was how often am I asleep... probably 20-30% (Id say I average about 6 hours per day).
---

A few years ago, it was around 70% of the time, but now I'd say it's closer to 25%.
---

Not enough.
---

Id say 35% roughly
---

Less than 1/4.

---

25%

Higher end. I went for 70-80%, but bear in mind that I *am* disabled & the longer I spend in a flat or reclining position, the longer I can stay conscious. As for actual sleep, it depends whether you count the fact that I wake up every few hours during the night no matter what I do, or if it's just the sleep total any given day that matters.

4-8 hours a day, whatever that works out to.

About 16.6% to 33.3%... So, probably 20%-30% is probably the choice for you...

I wish I could get away with that! I'm lucky when I can function on 14 hours of sleep!
---

I sleep a lot lol sometimes I sleep days if I am able to.
---

Last night, in bed at 1am, out of bed at 6am.


---

About 70-80%, I have scoliosis and get back pains very frequently so can't be very active. Resting in bed helps with that so, yeah.
---

Death, so called, is a thing which makes men weep, and yet a third of life is spent in sleep?

25-30%
