I find there are huge differences between the hours I sleep in the UK compared to those I dream away in LOS.

In the UK, I’m quite close to Margaret Thatcher’s (not a fan – hated her) magic 5 hours in every 24, but when I am in Thailand, I sleep 8 hours, at least, in the darkness hours plus a couple of “eye-resters” some time in the afternoon.

Does anyone else have these differences?

What do you think the reason is?

8 hours there but only 6 here -- here the sleep is deeper and more restful and satisfying.

My guess as to the cause would be the lower ambient stress level -- as per "stress, the silent killer"

Usually only about 5 hrs here, depending on whiskey intake, but even after a heavy session I'm still up by around 8 in the morning. Usually somewhere between 5 and 7 depending on what time I went to sleep.

Depends where I am. In the village go to sleep some nights 8 or 9pm wake up when all ###### brakes loose at just before daylight.

At the coast out partying go to sleep 2am +.Wake up whenever!

Uk lucky if I sleep 6-7 hours.

When I was working and living on Saipan I slept five or six hours a night.

Since I moved here I have been sleeping about eight or nine hours a night. I fall asleep at 9 to 10 PM and wake up at 6 AM.

I still don't know why.

About 5 or 6 hours in Oz during the week.....a bit more on weekends....

quite a bit more in Thailand....usually at least eight

why????

cos I dont have to get up for work....

I was always 8 hours when working in the UK.

Over here, 6-7 and feel better for it.

8 hours generally, if I don't get a full 8 hours I feel rough!!!

We just bought my wife's cousin (also our maid) an electric guitar, so I guess I will be sleeping a lot less from now on

You could also give her a full body armour, teach her to play the intro riff from 'The Number of The Beast' and team her up with fellow TV member FastEddie.

Then she'd be able to tour Thailand under the artist name of Iron Maid(en).

Just a suggestion...

As for sleep, I don't notice any significant differences - if anythin, I think I sleep slightly less in LOS, because there is a lot more going on outside in the early morning hours (soi dogs, street-sweeping, motorcycles, temple bells).

By the way Meadish, she is actually a he and his name is Mee which gets real confusing...

tukyleith- there is no beer in the fridge

khun wifey- Mee go shop already

tuykyleith- then why did you not buy beer?

khun wifey- no Mee go shopping now

tukyleith- then why are you still here?

khun wifey- because Mee go

tukyleith- Ok, I will go to the shop myself if your gonna be like that

I think we must have one of the only male maids in LoS. To be honest he does a much better job than any of the other maids we have had. He is a much better cook than any female I have come across too

8 hours in the UK and longer when I'm in LOS because I'm on holiday and have usually been out drinking the night before. May even have time for an hour by the pool.

Same same... 6 hours in the UK...

In the "village" sleep early ... wake early, but can get 8 or 9 hours sleep in... if I've "had a few" the night before then I can quite easily sleep through the "cockadoodle doos and Pooyabaan speech/disco" at day break..

totster

Uk

7 hrs per night sleep

Bkk

7 hrs sleep but spend longer in bed.

(Wife awaiting Visa)

Incidentally anyone hear of the new Microwave bed?

1 hr equates to 8 hr normal bed !!!

(edit SLEEP)

Occasionally sleep through the early morning din but that will be morning the temple comes collecting or a friend is looking for a lift or, or, or, whatever at 6 am!

Well my work here in the UK at this moment in time is quite physically demanding so I get a good 8 hrs a night minimum.

When I'm in Thailand it's either on holiday or I'm doing non manual work so I tend to sleep a lot less but always end up drinking more!

4hrs in LOS if I'm lucky - 6 elsewhere in the world.

i have really gone native, must be less stressful life

sleep about 8 hours, plus a hour after lunch

Maybe it's the change that causes more sleep.

When I go on holiday to another country, I can sleep for 9 hours, especially in winter in Scotland. Only 7 hours maximum here, usually 6, which is more than enough due to the laid back, stress-free kind of living in Isaan.

When I was working I was lucky to get 6 hours per night. Now I probably average between 8 and 9 hours.

Normally eight hours in the uk and Thailand, but if i want and extra 6 or 7 hours then i just read a couple of TMs posts
