I usually have about 4 hours of sleep and 6 maximum. I stay up late and go to bed at 12 midnight, the earliest and get up at 4am. Though, sometimes i didn't sleep at all the previous night, i do start my day at the same time. But i see to it that i get to get a nap during the day, to revitalized, only 15 minutes of it can help a lot.I am more of a night person.

Hello lulumartin! I remember, a few years back, I would answer questions like this with: "I'd be lucky to have a straight 4-hours sleep!" But since I have changed my lifestyle, I get to sleep for at least 7 hours during the weekdays and 8-9 hours during the weekends. Regularly visiting the gym and some sports activities in between helped me a lot. I usd to go online late at night because I cannot sleep early. But now, I'd probably be snoring even before my browser opens.

Hello lulumartin, I sleep an average of 6 hours daily. Sometimes more and sometimes less than that. My 3 year old son has a difficulty to sleep early at night and my sleeping time needs to follow his. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed but I will wake up at the same time the next morning.

I think I get at least 8 hours a day of sleep, I like to sleep, sometimes I get more than that. I'm not much of a morning person so I hate having to get up early, when I do that, I don't get my 8 hours and I can be crabby all day..lol. You have a nice day too..

I get abour six hours of sleep per night. And I'm very happy with that. I used to only be able to sleep abour four hours a night. Eight hours a day for a new mother sounds really good. I imagine you are run ragged by all of your responsibilities. I hope you continue to get some rest.

My time sleeping varies. I will go from 4 to 8 hours most days, which seems to be alright. My average time is about 6.5 hours to 7 hours though. I think this works well for me. Happy Mylotting!

I sleep 8 hours a day, but sometimes less specially when I couldn't sleep early at night. I think I sleep longer over the weekend, not sure though because I normally go to bed late, but I also get up late.

I sleep very little. I guess you didn't see my discussion on the very exact thing. Word for word? I did the same discussion about a weeks ago. But it is a great topic. You'll get alot of response. I sleep only about 4 hours or so because of the pain I am in. I would rather be taking care of a baby!

Wow! With an infant, you are lucky if you can sleep that long. I usually can't get to sleep until 1-2 am, so I sleep in until past noon. Somehow I got up today after only having five hours of sleep! lol

if i have a choice i'd love to sleep at least eight hours. sadly i usually only get seven or less. by the time i reach home after work it's almost nine at night. i'll watch some tv with my parents and chit-chat with them. after that i'll prepare for bed and before i know it, it's close to midnight. i have to wake up around 7am for work so i can't sleep as much as i like. i do try to make it up during the weekends. usually weekends are times when i get at least eight, if not ten, hours of sleep.

Well, I usually sleep around 5-6 hours a day. When I was young, I usually sleep 8 hours a day. But when I graduated from college and started working, I find it harder to sleep early. I am also easily distracted and is easily awakened. So I usually sleep late so that I am already very sleepy would be able to sleep well.

Sleeping is one of my favorite hobby. During my rest day, I just sleep for the entire day especially if there is no good movies to watch or if I'm bored already. I can sleep more than 12 hours a day. However, most of the time I slept only 5 to 6 hours during weekdays or when I have a work. I sleep very late in the evening then I woke up early in the morning. So, during my rest day are the only chances that I have for me to sleep very long. Oh! How I wish that I could sleep more than 6 hours a day.

Most of the time the it takes 8-10 hours a day, sounds unhealthy right? COz im so tired and im ended up waking up so late. But im trying my best now to have 8 hours sleep and not much coz it says the longer you sleep the earlier you die, the shorter time you sleep the longer live! Im not quite sure about this.

Sleep being the most important thing in my life and i seem not spending enough time for sleep. For me, normally 6 hours a day. sometimes 7. sleep for some peoples would be so strange and inactive period from which 1 refuse to come out no matter how much banging or shouting on the door goes on, or no matter how many calls or alarms u get! Take care of your health. Have a nice time!
