How long is the maximum you have slept?

[EdsonFitbit]

Hello Fitbitters! I was wondering how long was the maximum Fitbit users have slept. In my case is 12 hours. That day I was so tired that I didn't know about myself until I realized I had spent half day in bed. I found koalas and sloths are the most somnolent animals, they sleep for about 16 to 18 hours a day. That is what I call a good life. 

In the opposite, dolphins and sharks rarely sleep. They seem to just slow down their energies for short periods during the day.

@EdsonFitbit, the most I have slept is for 11 hours, actually my alarm didn't work that day. I usually sleep for 7 hours, but it was nice to rest for a little more haha.

Same as @EdsonFitbit 

@DavideFitbit

We wake up with the alarm clocks instead of naturally letting the body decide when to get up.. our bodies could require more rest instead and need to catch up..

That has a disadvantage to, since when 'sleeping out', getting tired later, getting out of our sleep routine..

Best to get up at the same time every day (if possible) and let the body decide when needing to go to sleep (even if it's earlier than normally to go to sleep)..

Great topic @EdsonFitbit  even when I don't sleep so much lol. 

The most I've slept was around 15 hours, went to bed at 7 PM and woke up almost at 10 AM , but usually I sleep for 4 or 5 hours . Even when I don't have to wake up early for work, my body automatically wakes up after being slept for 6 or 7 hours at maximum.

That's totally true @SunsetRunner, I need to make a big change on my sleep patterns, it's not very nice having to be woken up by an alarm everyday.

@EdsonFitbit Since I found out we could create a Custom Activity for the Charge HR and create our HR pattern I have been using that to analyse my sleep patterns. (I don't have a problem with the Surge, just set the Workout). Here is last night's 10 hours worth, a balmy Spring night here in Melbourne, just sleeping with one blanket and then it was too hot (no humidity here). Then I slept on the top of the bed in shorts. An example of what affects resting HR.

12 hours is my longest stint.

Wow @Colinm39. That is very interesting. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@EdsonFitbit Thanks for the response. I have posted this information elsewhere but I forgot to mention in this post is that "when you create the Custom Activity for HR it treats it like a manual activity and flattens the calories and you could lose Active Minutes".

I normally create the graph from the Mobile phone and it gives me the exact calories, from the PC there is always a calorie difference. For sleep we don't mind, but when you create extended hours, like Fitbitters maybe analysing their work HR etc or even the 24 HR you need to watch the calories and Active Minutes and/or delete the created record once you have examined it.

Have a great evening..

@EdsonFitbit This topic is tricky for me, I've slept 10 hrs on my day off 🙂 but sometimes the more I sleep the more tired I get out of bed hahaha and on the other hand taking a 10 - 15 minutes nap will feel great! 

I think that more than the lenght of your sleep we should focus in the quality of our sleep time, just my opinion 🙂

[EdsonFitbit]

Yeah, I agree with you @GisselleM. It happens the same to me. It would be very interesting knowing what makes one resting better during those short naps. 

[ashleeeaves]

10 hr 59 🙂

[DavideFitbit]

That's great, we have almost the same amount of time @ashleeeaves, high five ​.

Hey guys!  I am definitely a koala, I just love sleeping. In my first year at college when I wasn't working yet, one of my favorites hobbies was sleeping haha. I think I can literally sleep for a couple of days if I didn't have important things to do. So the maximum I have slept was 20 hrs  and I only woke up because I had to, that day I had one of my weirdest dreams also.

[EdsonFitbit]

Wow, 20 hours is something. Having bad dreams is one of the disadvantages of sleeping. That Koala is hilarious. 

[DavideFitbit]

20 hours is a good amount @SolangeE, almost the same as the Koala haha. I should probably try that some day, maybe when I go on vacations.

[SolangeE]

Hey guys, @DavideFitbit@EdsonFitbit! Yeah it is a lot, I recommend you guys to give it a try whenever you have the time, like vacations! It's like your body regenerates while sleeping. I know that is not really healthy to sleep a lot every day, but a couple of times is alright. 

[DavideFitbit]

Of course @SolangeE, I'll be going on vacations very soon, so I'll be trying that for sure haha.

As a pastor in a small town I'm often going for long hours, and dealing with serious issues. Years ago I went to Chico, stayed in a motel, took a shower and slept for about 14-15 hours straight. I didn't realize how exhausted, physically, mentally and spirituall I was. I now get away about every three months and just go to a place to vege out and sleep.

[Graciee]

The longest ive slept is probably around 5/6 hours, which may sound horrendous but I average around 2/3 hours a night so 6 hours is heavenly for me *_*

[SolangeE]

Hey,@PastorTerryJ! It feels so good to sleep after a long day and taking hot shower right? Feels like heaven.  

OMG! Really? @Graciee   Btw welcome aboard! Do you have problems to sleep? Have you tried meditating before bed?

I hope you have a nice week!
