How many hours sleep do you get?

I can survive on a few hours' sleep, but I make sure that I take a nap during the day. Even an hour's nap can do wonders. More than that, and you'll be going to bed late again the next night. Like some people, I find that sleeping more than 8 hours makes me feel even more tired and groggy. What you can do is set your alarm every night so that when it goes off, you need to turn off the tv or the computer and go to bed. I find that I don't function too well or I get cranky if I didn't sleep enough, and that affects everyone around me. Plus, I do a lot of driving, so rest is important for me. I hope this helps.

I recently read somewhere that it is actually BETTER to sleep 4 - 6 hours and then take a nap later. If you don't have the freedom to do that then you might want to try the melatonin pills another guy here on mylot swears by. Personally I really like the energy I have when I just sleep a few hours at a time here and there.

I have always been a night owl. If I get more than 5 hours sleep nightly I am over tired really. I sleep on the average about 4 hours each night. This is more than enough for me. I manage my days fine with this amount of sleep also. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

I tell myself each weeknight that I will be in bed by 10pm (Oh look at that it is 10:14 here right now lol). My alarm goes off at 5:50am so even that isn't quite enough sleep for me. By the time I finish doing everything I MUST do in a night (lol) and put the dogs out it is usually around 11:00. On weekends I am a night owl but still only get around 8 hours which is a little better. If I could get 10 hours a night I would be happy but who has time for that?

I know that my body needs more sleep. I probably get about 6 or 7 hours. I really do notice the difference though if I do get 8 hours of sleep. I feel much more refreshed.

So far, I get 8 to 10 hours of sleep a day. It's good to have a long good night sleep(It makes you feel good in the morning!) I don't know if I'll survive getting a few hours sleep. I'll have to drink a lot of coffee if in case. =)

I sleep around six hours during weekdays while I try to make up for it during weekends. I sleep late at night trying to catch up with mylot and other personal work during weekends while I try to relax during whe weekdays. © ronaldinu 2008

I usually get anywhere between 6 and 10 hours a day - it really depends...

i can't believe that I've not answered this one liquorice. I need 7-8 hours a night. For a long long time I did well to get 4-5! But then I got a grip of myself and persuaded a friend to send me to bed every night, which she does, and I go! I go by 10.30 and I have to ask her permission to stay up later. The Boss goes so much earlier than me that I was becoming very undisciplined. If I want to stay up later I have to ask my friend's permission and say why and if I go earlier I must tell her. Sounds weird I know but it works for me.

I usually get 7-8 hrs of sleep a nite. Sometimes more if I go 2 bed early.

It could be about 7 to 8 hours as of now. I tend to get very sleepy early at night now due to the time changing. And with me being up so early in the mornings. That has got me very sleepy!

I try to get as much sleep as possible, however this changes from day to day depending on things that are going on in my life, including stress. Today I am EXTREMELY tired and keep telling myself I am going to go to bed early, but I will probably go to bed at the same time I usually do. For some reason, I don't sleep very well on Sundays, but this could be because I get extra sleep on the weekends with being able to sleep in and/or take naps. I am definitely a napper. I wish I could take naps during the week, but now I get home from work around 4:30 p.m. and if I took a nap then, I would not fall asleep at night. Some times I get distracted from the t.v. or computer, but this is rare. Sweet dreams :)

I always try to get at least 8 hours sleep. However because of my work schedule I only usually get about 5 - 6 hours. Some people seem to be able to get by on very little sleep, but I find that I struggle a lot if I get under 8 hours. It's proven that if you get under 8 hours it starts to affect your concentration and energy levels.

I know some people who only need 4 hours of sleep and they are fine. I am the opposite. If I don't get more than 6 hours of sleep, I am always tired and not ready for the day. I usually get 8 hours of sleep a day and up to 10 hours on the weekends. It makes me feel refreshed with more hours of sleep.

Ideally, 8 hours would be great for me. Normally I probably get around 6.5..... I think most people are in the same boat ...... with busy schedules these days there are just not enough hours in the day to get in everything that you need to do. If I get more than 9 hours, I feel like a zombie for about half of the day.... So for me the window is tight, its either not enough or too much. On weekends, I sometimes can find that happy medium of about 8-8.5 hrs and that seems to work just fine. If I get less than 6 hours for a few days in a row, I feel that it gets more difficult to concentrate and its easier for me to get moody....and then i start getting angry for simple things I don't ever get to take many naps anymore, but if I do, about 1hr to 1.5 hours would be max, otherwise I find it difficult to fall asleep at my normal time in the evening.

I sleep between around six to seven hours a day. However I try to make it up during the weekend for that daily hour lost sleep. Otherwise I would get grumpy. © ronaldinu 2008

I do it on about 5 hours mostly. If I'm really tired I could sleep more and on weekends I probably come close to the 8 hour time. I wake up at 4.00 am every morning and get to bed mostly about 11.00 pm or if I go home early then its in bed from about 8.00 pm Its hard to be consistent because I always have things to do that keep me going.

not enough! I average 6 maybe some days less. one or 2 days week I may get the required 8 hours or more. but most days the computer and the TV (which I sleep with on) sometimes do distract me.

i, on an average , sleep for about eight hours a day...

Everyone should get atleast 8 hours of sleep every night in order to be healthy and in order to have enough energy for the following day. If you don't it will take its toll on you after a while.
