2-3 hours hopefully due to chronic pain

I'm averaging three or so hours of sleep these days. Though that's with zero hours of sleep dispersed throughout a few times a week.

Can't be healthy.

But then, summer's almost here.

I'll make up for it by sleeping through it.

Which is also probably unhealthy. Too much sleep and whatnot.

I don't need more than 8, but I usually sleep 9-10. I don't feel the difference @ work, so that's basically wasted time. When I have extra work or gaming and sleep 5-6-7, I feel the difference that day.

I get around five or six hours of poor quality sleep. It's not enough, which leaves me perpetually too tired to do anything useful. I have some sort of chronic sleep problem but the doctors have given up trying to find out what it is.

If you can sleep, er do so, y'know?

I try to fit 8 hours sleep before work but it just doesn't happen. I get around 5-6 hours sleep from Sunday to Thursday, I get even less if I've been on holiday and it's the night before returning to work since my body clock needs readjusting. Friday and Saturday I go to bed even later but get more sleep overall which is around 10 - 12 hours sleep depending on if someone has started making lunch while I slept. The smell wakes me up right on time to get fed

I normally get 5-6 hours of sleep during the week and about 7-8 at the weekend. I seem to function perfectly fine so assume it's not doing me any damage not getting a full eight hours...

I certainly don't get enough. Mostly because I can never sleep. I stay up late usually, well into the early hours of the morning most nights, and I rise early.

I should be asleep right now! I am a procrastinator and well that bites me in the ass quite a bit. I have learned some handy skills from it like doing the B+ paper in 30-45 minutes. However because of it I oftentimes find myself having a whacky sleep schedule. My sleeping cycle has never been steady except for like middle school almost a decade ago. 4 hours there 12 hours here. Stuff like that. Wish I was disciplined enough to just go to sleep but that damned insomnia keeps kicking my ass.

My dad is pretty much the same, he sits up all night watching TV until he passes out on the couch and when he awakes he finally goes to bed which is like 3/4 in the morning, and then he is up at about 5:45 for work. Surprisingly he's still active throughout the day with only 3-5 hours sleep

I usually get 6-8 hours, but for me if I could I'd get 10 hours. I'd wake up at 10am everyday, that would be perfect. If I get less than 5 hours, I don't wake up for my lectures.

On weekdays I sleep from 9-10 P.M. to 6 A.M. What can I say, I love sleeping.
Minimally I get 7-8 hours of sleep.

During my week on vacation I noticed that any less than 4 hours is a reason to catch an extra hour of sleep mid-day (and even just 1 hour of sleep helps a ton), especially if I've been sleeping little in the previous days and know won't be sleeping a lot in the next few either.

I usually get about 6-8 hours of sleep. I just got back from my vacation and failed to sleep on the 13 hour bus trip, so I slept 10 hours last night.

I don't sleep half as well as I should like; and I like sleep half as well as it deserves.

i generally get 25 hours of sleep a day

i don't like sleeping more than 7 hours, it makes me tired and physically uncomfortable
5-6 hours is great

I usually sleep about 7 hours from Monday to Friday. Weekends more than 10 hours.

I tested this last night after posting in here and this is what happened. I went to bed at 1:30 and then my body woke me up at 6:00 and I tossed and turned until I had to get out of my bed at 9. I could've got up but I tried to get another hour or two of sleep in but to no avail. This is typical. I can't sleep properly at night and then my body wakes me up. I think I have anxiety in the morning.

8-9 hours a day. My brain can't function normally without that much sleep, which is very often with this job I'm working.

Need: 6-7 hours
Get: 4-6 hours

I have a hard time getting to sleep and I'm a light sleeper. Sleep and I are not friends.

It's not necessarily true that everyone needs eight hours of sleep. There is a small group of individuals who are classified as "http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/03/12/short.sleepers.daylight/index.html"; these people have a genetic mutation that permits them to function normally on much less sleep than is normal. I worked with a man for six years who was a short sleeper. For the first few years I thought he was lying when he said he slept an average of three hours a night, either that or he was a drug addict. He performed his fast-paced, physically-demanding job all day without diffculty despite sleeping less than half the recommended hours. It was only after coming across that study that I realized he was being honest.

There are several theories on how much sleep is healthy, as well as how best to divide your sleep time. The most recent research points to a natural sleep pattern of approximately eight hours divided into two four hour periods with one to two hours in between. Whether what is healthy or normal is even obtainable with today's societal and career expectations is a matter of considerable debate. Regardless, what is best for each individual will vary considerably. Only you in coordination with medical advice can determine exactly what is right for you.

7 seems to be the perfect number for me, although I usually get more or less due to my various sleep problems. If I go above 7 I tend to feel groggy, and if I'm below 7 I'm tired.

I get 2 to 5 hours of sleep a night, and probably need a good bit more than that.

I hate sleeping, In fact I see it as a complete waste of time. Obviously to your body it is not a waste of time, it is when we restore our energy. I generally go to bed between 4 and 5 AM and wake up between 8 and 10 AM. So 6 hours of sleep at the most and 3 at the least. Either way I function normally through the day. I am never ever tired and I always feel perfectly fine. To me 8 hours is not actually needed, I am actually more tired throughout the day when I get 8 hours of sleep. My roommate sleeps for 10 to 13 hours a day, I do not know how anyone can stand sleeping that long!

I also notice that I have an amazingly good internal clock. I never set alarms because I always wake up at the time I need to. Seriously it is quite strange. As an example if I have to get up by 8 O'clock my body automatically wakes me up between 730 and 800. Is anyone else like this?

Edit: also it doesn't matter if it is weekends ore week days I have the same sleep schedule.

At the risk of sounding morbid, you will. Everyone does unless they're hit by a bus (in which case they fly through the air briefly before dieing rather randomly..)


I can live on four hours a night, although others may lose their life over it



5 - 6 hrs keeps me functional and content.

Odin sleep is what really keeps me happy

I get 2-5.
I need 7-9.
On weekends I sometimes do 12-18 just by turning off the alarms and letting my body decide what it wants.
When I have vacation (I don't go anywhere) I get all screwed up. I sleep when tired and get up whenever. That usually results in 12 hours up, 3 down, 2 up, 7 down, 24 up, 8 down, 2 up, 16 down.... It takes me 3 days to get my sleep pattern somewhere close to normal so I can make it to work after vacation.
