get 'enough' sleep - or party like a machine?

[Mr Ploppy]

As the wee small hours roll by, do you think that maybe you should get back to your tent and get some decent shut-eye to be fresh for the next day - or do you just get whatever sleep you can over the 5 days and deal with the consequences and inevitable extended bouts of fatigue when you get back to the normal world?

And where have you had a power-nap at Glastonbury whilst out and about away from your tent?

Wouldn't let me vote without picking something in the second poll, even though none were applicable.

Poll fixed.

[dirty_dog]

sleep by 5am up at 11am= 6 hrs sounds about right.

[mandypants]

I can't cope without a decent night's sleep, not any more But once I've come round I get my arse into gear and gooooooooooooooooooooo!

[rexclark]

Most nights like to get at least 4 or 5 hours, about 6am till 10am. Then some nights I like a longer sleep. Also normally need a nap at some point during the day.

[lievepaula]

At least 6 hours, or I can't cope with the crowd anymore and get a bit anxious if I'm too tired and hungover...

[ampersand]

i normally bed by 3 and am up at 8. i should really extend both those by a couple hours

I wonder how many people actually go through the festival not sleeping - powered by illegals -

My mate did 48 hours once and crashed any burned quite horribly!

[xlxexaxnxnxex]

Last yeAr being a newbie I got about 8 hrs until the fri when we realised there was so much to do after hours, then we averaged about 4.

We discovered the slumberave too and slept in there on sun night while it was pissing it down and then made our way back to camp. It wAs nice to have a bed!

[APC]

usually put my head down around 4am and up around 10am. I'm proper lazy and can never be bothered with staying up just to see the sun come up. Kip late afternoon too for an hour or 2.

[ramragon]

i normally go to bed around 4 but wake up at 6 or 7ish cos im a crap sleeper and the heat in the tent last year drove us mad. normally get by with 3 to 4 hours but after 5 days im a mess ! sunday nights usually a killer as we get back to tent about 2, have a couple of hours sleep an pack the tent at 4 to miss the traffic on the 350 mile trip up the road

[guyfawkes]

Fell asleep last year at the other stage when Metric were on, the 3 nights before took alot out of me.

[angelofharlem]

I usually stay up till 4 or 5 am and then sleep till about 1 or 2 pm.

[SunshineSky]

Hmm.. answering this poll depends upon me planning anything whilst at glastonbury

I just sleep when a feel sleepy, during the day thats pretty much anywhere relatively dry (relative for glastonbury), but i have a tendancy to wake up at dawn.. infinitely aggravating my tent-mates!

[tilt]

Usually about 3 or 4 hours a night with the occasional kip at glade, g stage, circus fields or stone circle during the day.

Anyone that says they're not going to sleep, for five days, is talking bollocks.

[Glitter+Vodka]

I slept most nights from about 4/5/6 til about 8 or 9 wen the heat of the sun woke me then i wud try catch wee naps elswhere.... the silent disco was pretty good for naps, and the staff keep waking u up every 20 mins or so witha wee cup of water, was like getting room service

[vespa]

normally depends how pissed i am and how tired i am...

i do like a good sleep at least 6 hours a night or more, i'm well known by my mates for sleeping pretty much anywhere! lol

i've slept up against a speaker in a nightclub doesn't bother me, fell alseep standing up before lol

planning on being in bed at least by 4/5am then getting up about 10/11am

I am always so jealous of the people sleeping at the stages with a hat over their faces - they always look so contented and snoozie.

I just can't do that - I'm too anxious that someones gonna stand/fall/collapse on top of me, doesn't matter how tired I am.

I try go to bed at a fairly reasonable hour until the Friday however I must admit I've only managed to see one sunrise per glasto (been to 2). I'm aiming for two sunrises this year : )

[cejx]

the heat of the sun usually forces you out of the tent in the morning with hangover sweats.. 2007 when it was cold and wet, I was getting about 8 hours a night (5am-1pm). Sweet.

[Felna]

Normally in my tent by about 1-2 in the morning, I'm not a night owl at all, then driven out my tent by heat but usually up by at least 9am, then spend the morning dozing in my chair by the tent until I wander down in search of beer, food and entertainment about half 11.

Used to stay up all night at festivals when I was young, but now I'm approaching 40 I've learnt to enjoy my sleep to much!
