wow........u guys think that 5 hrs of sleep is alot already?????
i need atleast 8-10 or i'll be sleepy the whole day.

btw....i listen to music when i commute to go to school and go back home.when i leave with out my portable rig (almost never) i feel that something is missing.

All day at work, and any time I'm at the computer I have music going.

At work I do systems builds/support/design so much of my day is spent at a terminal hacking away, headphones help me focus and knock stuff out much faster.

As for fancy interconnects, I just make sure mine are copper.

When I'm home I spend... six hours plus in my room listening to music each day.

When I'm at school though I don't really have the time or place to listen to music, so unfortunately it is only once or twice a week when I'm feeling really deprived and bring my CD player and headphones to the library to go through a couple albums.

I have my speaker rig at school, but this past semester there has been a really obnoxious mechanical noise in my room.. like a malfunctioning motor or something. Finally they are giving me a room transfer, so I'll be spending much more time with my speakers in the next months.

I'm on vacation now, so I have a lot of time to listen to music. But I won't actually listen to music unless I can dedicate myself to listening and not being distracted by anything else.

So right now that usually means I can get about 3-4 hours of uninterrupted music time in on my main rig. I found listening attentively is the only way I can enjoy music, otherwise it's just filler, filling in the silence. Also explains why I went through a few portable setups, that continued to get no use unless I was commuting. I currently lack a DAP in any form, when I run in the morning it's more peaceful to just listen to "nature" (quite doable in the middle of nowhere New Hampshire). At the gym I use foam earplugs to block out the crap they blast through the shot speakers.

During school time I only listen to music for about an hour a day. And it's usually in the evening after dinner. And then it's already time for bed

edit: and it looks like I'm the only one that thought this thread was about something else

Zanth, you need to cut your schedule or you'll end up burning out. I've spent the last five years getting 5-6 hours per night - it was fine at first, but now I just feel permanently wasted.

We should really have a poll on how many hours we sleep.

I personally have about 7 hours per night on weekdays. Most of the other time in school or doing homework (admittedly, headfi takes up a bit of time on "free-er" days), which leaves me little time with the headphone rig, except during weekends, holidays or as a filler when doing homework.

 

[digitalmind]

I listen to atleast one full cd, each day, before I go to bed. That makes for roughly one to two hours of dedicated listening each day, typically starting at 9.30-10.00pm. No music at work, though it would be possible, I can't keep focus when listening to music.

i get home at 7pm, and i put on some music right away, i do everything else while listening to music, except studying when i need to concerntrate.

good thing i live alone so i can listen to speakers and adjust my volume however i want. my family wants me to move back with them for a while, and don't think i'll get the speakers freedom aymore. probably have to go back to headphone then.

i dont really have a time when i actaully sit down any do nothing but critically listen to the music at home. but i do it everytime i bought a new equipment.

sleep, i get 5-6 a day, but i need 9 to function perfectly as well, if i get more than 9 then i start feeling crappy.

I do IT all the time, whenever I can.

I do IT with my wife.

I do IT with friends.

I do IT alone in the middle of the night.

I usually get at least 6 hours of music a day. Since I'm a college student, I get PLENTY of time to just sit down with some tunes and a pair of IEM's and do some homework or study at the library. Then of course back at my apartment I can use the full-size cans to relax after a day of cramming. Skyrockets in flight

I don't think I can fully process the thought of 3 -5 hours of sleep a night, though. It's either 8+ hours a night or none at all for me.

 

[m_memmory]

music is like drinking to me ... it's possible to go for hours on end without a drink but I don't really like doing it.

I wake up and some music goes on (usually on speakers as I'm getting washed/dressed) then I usually switch to headphones while I check my emails and head-fi. Then I do some stuff around the house (portable rig then) Evenings tend to involve sat in front of the PC either playing games, watching movies or just chatting with people online (all with headphones) or meeting up with mates to do something in "real" life (and walking to meet up with them involves the portable rig again)

I only work weekends at the moment as I'm looking for a "career" and while I'm there I'm able to listen to my portable rig for most of the night (I work nights) so even there I still listen.

I guess this is why my mates think I'm the person to ask about music - any trivia or even what equipment sounds good (even though around head-fi I'm still relatively low-tech)

Drinking water? Right?


I get about 4 hours in a day. The lady friend is in gad school, so she is usually studying until late. I work from 9am to 9pm m-th, but i can listen during my lunch break. So I listen from 9-11 or 12 about every night. During the weekends ill occasionally listen all day long 10-12 hours straight.

I get real antsy real quick if i dont listen to music. Even thinking about it now makes me want to put the headphones on. I teach guitar at night though, so that is sorta like listening to music. It atleast feeds the music monster a little.

 

[m_memmory]

well I don't actually drink 'water' on it's own very often as I'm not overkeen on the taste of it but I didn't mean drinking as in alcohol. Most of the time I just drink dilutable orange juice.

 

[Dimitris]

I listen to 1-2 hours every night while I am on the internet in my room. I might use headphones while reading in bed before sleep too. I use my Shures when I am at the gym every other day.
