Hi People,
I wish to check out with you guys that what time usually do bodybuilders get to sleep? I believe there are bodybuilders do sleep after 12am too.
Thank You,
Daz
Are you asking what time bodybuilders go to bed or how long they sleep?
I bodybuild, I am not yet a Ronnie Coleman, soon to be though, and I am one nocturnal son of a bitch.
I generally go to sleep at 2 am, and wake at 11, with around 9 hours of straight sleep.
However, my mom has lately been waking me up by borrowing change from my dresser to give my bros/sis lunch money. I hate broken sleep and that’s pissing me off.

Well for those of us who have sh*t to do during the day…
haha
jk Austin 
lol
Honestly man sleep is sleep whether your a bodybuilder or not…6-8 hrs is more than enough…imo more than 8 and you go too long without eating…and less than 8 I’m groggy and don’t feel rested.
Depending on the times depends on what the day is…I had class til 9:50pm today so I won’t be in bed until 11ish…I’m just getting another meal in and hitting up the good ol tnation forums lol

Is this on weekends? Because I have to be up by 6:20 for school.
I have a lot of shit to do, so I usually get to bed around 12:30 on school nights and wake up at 6:20. I’m trying to manage time better to get to bed earlier.
On weekends, I’ll go to bed between 1 and 5am and wake up between noon and 2pm.
Yeah, I just got back from the gym, chest/tricep day 2. I’ll probably be in bed by midgnight and up again around 5AM. Tomorrow is an off day so I get home from work, eat a beef meal and take a nap, wake up, eat a chicken or fish meal, take a nap, wake up drink a shake with a bowl of oatmeal, a PB&J sandwich (Animal style), a couple oranges, a couple pears, maybe some apple sauce, and then take a nap that will do me for the rest of the night.

No, this is everday of the week for me. I have school two days a week and classes start at 930am. On those days I try not to hit the sack later than 1. I work night shifts. My day usually is wake up, eat lunch (which is my breakfast), do the gym, be lazy and eat all day, go to work, if it’s the weekend drink a few beers, call up some girls, go to bed at 2 and then repeat. Rather boring at times, but I can’t complain.
Doesn’t matter as long as you get your 8 hours. If you stay up late, like myself, you better still be eating so it stays an 8-9 hr fast and not a 12 hour one.
Usually in bed at 2 am and awake at 10 am.

You really can’t.
I usually sleep from 10pm till 6.am then when i get home i sleep from 4pm till like 6pm then hit the gym.
Edit: like the new avatar Gerdy!
I’m sure college/university students who lift can agree with me when I say this:
Sleep is a luxery
During the week, I get 5-7 (bad I know) and I make up for it on the weekends by sleeping like 10 hours with naps thrown in.
Average bedtime before getting a new puppy:
2:00am
Average bedtime after getting a new puppy:
12:00am
Incidentally…
Average waking time before:
10am
Average waking time after:
Every 45 minutes, out of bed completely at 5am
Ah the joys of puppyhood.
Damn… apparently I’m a freak or something.
In college… usual sleep time is around 11 pm - 12 am, wake time is anywhere from 7:30-9:00.
I usually get up 2-3 times a night to take monster pisses, too.
i can sleep like 10 hours… but 7-8 hours is good when i go to work again in 2 weeks
sleep when youre dead, wuss
if someone doesn’t wake me up i can easily sleep for over 12 hours.
thats what I do if i dont have any obligations the next day.
2am - 2pm+

Really? I slept like a fucking champ during school.
For all you guys in school…get a better schedule. Come on now, I know it may take a little extra time and scheming, but fuck is it worth it. The only excuse you got is actual work.
Just don’t go nocturnal, I did it my sophomore year, it really fucked me up.

A better schedule? I also didn’t sleep that much in college. I was taking 19 hours some semesters and as a Biology major with intentions of going to higher education after that, how much free time do you think is available?
For the student who plans on going to grad school of some sort, I would imagine the schedule is pretty hectic if they make lifting weights a high priority.
What did you major in?

Yeah when i was in uni it was all paper writing and all kinds of other shit to do. I got lucky [sort of] by having the perfect 1.5 hour breaks or 2 hour breaks between classes which allowed me to get some great training sessions in.
But man sleep was ghetto back then. I used to sleep in my car out in the parking lot. had my blanket and teddy, the whole kit.
Anybody with a chunky commute into school or work also knows the dubious honor of “finding time.” I basically got up mad early [ie 6-7am], ate, drove 45 mins in, went to class, trained [lifting], went to class, did homework and bullshit, had nap in car, trained [MMA], then drove home 45 mins and went tits first into bed.
Moving closer to uni really helped in my 3-4th year.

I’m a chem/bio double and I have plenty of time to sleep, but then again I have the luxury of not having to work. I usually go to bed 12 am - 2pm and wake up between 6am-12pm depending on what I have to do that day. I honestly don’t find being in school to be all that demanding, but again as I said I don’t work. having a 20 + hour work commitment might change that.
