I need atleast 8 hours of sleep or I feel groggy after I wake up. I don't take regular naps in the afternoon because if I do, the habit sinks in and becomes much worse. How many hours a day do you sleep? Do you take naps in between? Do you feel groggy when you haven't slept the right amount of sleep?

It depends. There are times when I get 8 hours of sleep and thee are times when I just get 5 hours. I don't feel groggy even if I only have 5 hours of sleep when I have a very deep sleep.

I go to bed very late most of the days,but I always gets up early in the morning.It has become like sort of habit for me.No matter how much I try to get sleep again,I can't.I sleep hardly 6 hours,so whenever if possible I do take naps in the afternoon even if it is just for half an hour.It makes me feel fresh to carry on with my household chores again.Happy myLotting!

i need at least 5 hours of sleep to function properly haha. if i get less than that, i'll get a headache and won't feel so good. I usually try to get around 6 - 7 hours of sleep, or more if possible!

Hi,nikky.Yes,I will feel uncomfortable ,depressed when i don't sleep the right amount of sleep.I'm about8-9 hours .Usually,i do to bed at 11:00,and get up at about 7:00.Then,i take a nap in the afternoon after lunch,about 1 hour.I have developed the habit of taking nap in the afternoon,if not, i also feel groggy,and don't want to do anything in the whole afternoon.

My sleep schedule for the past year has really been an odd one to say the least. I started off 2008 getting barely 7 hours of sleep in a night. I would always be tired, eventually getting used to being tired all the time. Now that college started in the Fall of 2009, I have noticed me sleeping more. I now tend to require around 9 or 10 hours of sleep. I'm not sure if it is the environment or what but I have taken a notice of it up to this point. I should be off to be now because I won't be getting up to 1 in the afternoon. haha

I go to bad way to early and sleep way to much.
About 9 to 10 hours a night on average.
I go to bed around 7pm and get up at 4am. Most of the time I'm ready to get up at 2am because I had enough sleep already
but there is not much to do that early so I roll around till 4am.

I need eight and a half or nine, but if I do wake up before then that, I don't feel grumpy, all I feel is refreshed from hearing birdsong early in the morning since so many bluebirds live near my home. :)
I don't take afternoon naps because, I don't really like to sleep that much.
I even have a hard time sleeping during the night, because my eyes keep popping up and interferring with my dreams. I guess you can say that I am an insomniac. :D
The rest of my family sometimes take naps in the afternoon, but I don't, unless if I'm not feeling too sleepy and drowsy from a hard load of work.
Happy Mylotting.

well, usually i sleep just 6-7 hours/night, but sometimes, i really sleep less than that, and so, i`ll need a day to sleep at least 10 hours .But, in average, i just sleep 6-7 hours. I`m feeling so good just with that. I know that it`s reccomanded to sleep 8 hours/day, but i really can`t do that. It`s too much for me.Sometimes, when i drive, or do something that i need continuous time, i really sleep just 1-2 hours, but the next day i`ll sleep more.
