12 Qualities Of People Who Require 8 Hours Of Sleep
Sofia Medrano

Some young people treat sleep like a competition. "Oh, I stayed up until 5am and only got two hours of sleep last night." "Really? I pulled an all nighter." But if you're someone who knows that they require the recommended 8 hours of sleep per night, you know that those games aren't for you. You prioritize sleep, and that's ok. Here are 12 qualities of someone like you:

1. You excel at calculating time.

The switch from 12 to 1 doesn't trip you up when deciding what time you have to go to bed given the time you have to wake up in the morning.

2. Your roommate might slightly hate you.

Or at least be jealous at the amount of sleep you get. It's not that you don't have other responsibilities you should be taking care of, but you will get them done more efficiently and effectively once you are well-rested.

3. You don't really use the snooze button.

Since you always prioritize getting a good amount of sleep, when your alarm goes off in the morning, rolling out of bed isn't so hard.

4. You have an early bedtime.

If you have to be up at 6 am to get ready for work, you can bet that you'll be crawling into bed by 9:30 pm.

5. You get annoyed when people disrupt your schedule.

You understand if it's an emergency or something unexpected, but if your crush thinks you're about to stay up talking to them until the wee hours of the morning, they've got another thing comin'.

6. If you get less than those 8 hours, people should stay out of your way.

You don't understand how your friends pull all-nighters or operate on four hours of sleep. That just doesn't cut it for you. Sometimes you even get physically sick if you have less than those full 8 hours.

7. Sometimes it prompts you to procrastinate.

Sure, it would have been nice to have a certain task finished before you went to bed, but once you are well-rested, you should be able to crank it out quickly tomorrow!

8. You plan your evenings entirely around what you have planned the next morning.

You're volunteering at 8 am on Saturday? Looks like you're staying in on Friday night.

9. You really don't mind mornings.

You may not be a morning person, but after getting those precious 8 hours, you're somewhat refreshed and ready to take on your day.

10. If you share a bedroom, you're probably a heavy sleeper.

So your roommate walks in at 1 am when you've already been sleeping for 3 hours? They don't have to worry about being quiet — you're out like a rock. In fact, you probably fell asleep with the light on so that they could get ready for bed easily.

11. Naps aren't really your thing.

Since you rest well at night, you don't find yourself needing an afternoon nap quite as often. The exceptions to this are when you are sick or if you didn't get your magic 8 the night before.

12. You realize that sleep is key to your physical and mental health and wellbeing.

And you probably preach this to everyone you know.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
