The hubby! He gets TONS of sleep now and still naps like he's sleep deprived!

I need 9 hours per night</p> <p>DH runs on 4-6!</p> <p>I think my DS takes after him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312771 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 09:13:37 +0000 mrs. 64 1312771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like my sleep, but I think he needs more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312755 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 09:09:13 +0000 pui 1312755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me for sure. I like I go to bed no later than 11:30, and DH likes to stay up until at least 1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312753 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 09:08:29 +0000 Littlebit 1312753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me me me. He could take 5 or 6 hours. He always tells me I could be a professional sleeper. It's my hobby ;) I slept 11 1/2 hours the other night. Granted, we don't have any children. I'm sure that'll change. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312656 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 08:02:13 +0000 Cherrybee 1312656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need *more* sleep to function - I need at least 10 hours a night to feel human, whereas DH is good after 8 - but I cope better with too little sleep than he does. He is a total Mr Crankypants after too little sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312651 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:59:25 +0000 knittylady 1312651@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me for sure! Before baby I was epic. He's always only been able to master 7 hours or so. Weakling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312650 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:58:18 +0000 Ra 1312650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I am a total grump if I don't get enough sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312647 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:56:58 +0000 daniellemybelle 1312647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, hands down. He is a morning person &amp; doesn't get cranky like me if he hasn't gotten sleep. Unfortunately he gets more than me since I BF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312642 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 07:53:24 +0000 babycanuck 1312642@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hubs can sleep 12 hours if he gets the opportunity. He's like a teenager...sleep alllllllll day on the weekends.</p> <p>I am good with about 7 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312606 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 05:53:06 +0000 tequiero21 1312606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, for sure. He can last on much less sleep. I can't function when I'm too tired. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312602 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 05:29:07 +0000 yerpie110 1312602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I need more sleep overall, but I can take naps to increase my hours. DH needs less sleep, but has to have it all in one chunk as he does not nap well. Guess who did night duty :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312591 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 04:41:03 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1312591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd like more sleep, but I think DH actually needs it more. Not because he's working and I'm currently a SAHM, but because I think he may be suffering from sleep apne. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312589 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 03:00:51 +0000 yin 1312589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me! I wake up every 2-3 hours to feed the baby at night. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312575 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 02:10:37 +0000 MrsMccarthy 1312575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband! He is a major sleeper and can't function without his sleep. This is why I am the SAHM and do all the night checks and he doesn't but earns the moola. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312561 Thu, 02 Jan 2014 01:22:32 +0000 sarac 1312561@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Drastically me. We realized fairly early that the infant lack of sleep was really harming me. When my daughter night weaned, my husband cheerfully took over night time duties. He's always just needed less sleep than me - he's just fine on 6 hours of sleep, where I'm hardly functional. </p> <p>Our daughter has the same low sleep needs as he does. Which is irritating for us, but will serve her well as an adult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312421 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 22:25:11 +0000 swedishfish 1312421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hands down, me. He can function on only a few hours of sleep and a can of Coke. I am a zombie unless I get at least 7 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312348 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:34:26 +0000 Purpledaisy 1312348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me for sure! I also need more uninterrupted sleep than him. He's fine getting like 4 hours of sleep at night and then making up for it by taking a nap later that day. But for me having at least 7-8 hours of uninterrupted sleep is ideal. Naps really don't make me feel more rested. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312336 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:26:34 +0000 AngelicOne 1312336@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Definitely me. I need like 9 - 10 hrs every night &amp; take naps quite often. He only needs 7 - 8 hrs &amp; only naps if he's sick. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312320 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:18:02 +0000 GrapeCrush 1312320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, by a lot!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312311 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:15:00 +0000 doodlepoodle 1312311@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me-no questions asked. His years as a 24/7 on site manager trained him to function on very little sleep (or food, etc). I'm a princess!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312307 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:14:01 +0000 Mae 1312307@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does. I think I'm less cranky when tired and also I'm a night person whereas he is a morning person… which means I'm used to going to bed an hour or more after him and waking up at the same time (life is not built for night owls). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312304 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 21:12:12 +0000 fussygal 1312304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He sleeps less than me during the week but sleeps way more on weekends, where as I sleep about 8-9 hours all days. He definitely "needs" it more though since he gets cranky and has sleep issues (apnea). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312261 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:50:34 +0000 LovelyPlum 1312261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH, hands down. He is not a happy person on little sleep! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312250 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:46:14 +0000 MamaMoose 1312250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. My husband. He's a selfish sleeper. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312247 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:44:47 +0000 PurplePeony 1312247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He does. He gets really cranky if he hasn't slept enough, whereas I can usually keep myself in check. The first couple weeks of LO's life, he got an average of 8 hours of sleep per night (interrupted, but still...) and was complaining incessantly about how tired he was. I, operating on two hours if I was lucky, was about to kill him if I heard it one more time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312231 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:33:53 +0000 Mrs.Panda 1312231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the week, though usually DH naps on his days off. It's kind of his thing. I shudder to think what he will be like as an old man! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312228 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:31:50 +0000 Bao 1312228@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Me, hands down. DH can go on 3 hours of sleep if he has to, there's no way I could function. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312225 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:30:25 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1312225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/who-needs-more-sleep-you-or-your-so#post-1312217 Wed, 01 Jan 2014 20:25:04 +0000 FarmWifeGina 1312217@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know. I don't think either of has met our quota for a few years. We don't remember what it's like not wishing for a nap all the time, lol. I'd say I probably need more sleep, 10 hours would be amazing, but I don't think I could even sleep that long at a stretch anymore, if given the chance. He probably does best on at least 8 hours. </p>
