how many hours of sleep do you have every day?

Now I have about 8 hours of sleep per day, but I still feel very tired these days. I think the problem is in sleep quality. If sleep quality is high, maybe only 5 to 6 hours would be enough for us. To the opposite, maybe 10 hours are still far away from enough. That's just my opinion.

I sleep 7-8 hours in a day. I feel I have enough sleep. When I woke up I do not feel tired or want to sleep again. I always sleep like that everyday. It is habit of mine. How about you?

I think I normally get about eight hours sleep per night although you can never be sure as when you first get into bed you don't immediately fall asleep, it takes some time. I also meditate every morning and they say that when you meditate on a regular basis this helps in terms of having more energy and then you don't require as much sleep. I have woken up during the night for the past couple of days and I don't know what is behind this but overall my sleep pattern seems to be ok. I'm normally in bed around 11pm in anycase except for when I'm taking in a late night movie. I guess between six and eight hours in an acceptable amount of time for sleep! Andrew

I have tried to respond many times to discussions like this but I always get a notification the day after that this kind of discussion is deleted. I dont know what's with this question why it gets deleted every time. I do hope its not going to be deleted now.

I suffer from insomnia so I have a lot of trouble trying to sleep at night. Usually I will only sleep for around 3-5 hours when the minimum should be around 6-8 hours. As a result I do have trouble during the day with my concentration unless I don't have some coffee every now and then. Then during the day I take short naps to catch up on my sleep and get on with daily life or I will literally sleep for the whole day but that doesn't happpen often because my mum would go mad if I go sleeping for the whole day. Even now I just had about 3 hours sleep I slept around 4 and it's now 7:21am. I had no idea not getting enough sleep may increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases that just sort of worries me because I've had insomnia since I was a baby but I'll look into that...

i sleep about 5 hours a day most times. other times i might sleep for like 8 hours. it seems like when i sleep longer im more tired througout the day. why is this?

hi carpediem I am not getting enough sleep as I have a roomie who is evidently starting on Alzheimer and is acting so weird; she sleeps all day but gets up and prowls around going somewhere and leaving the light on so it wakes me, also worries me as she could get lost, sometimes she does not remember how to find the dining room. any way I get maybe four or five hours sleep. I have resorted to going back to bed after our 7 o clock breakfast just to get a few hours more sleep.

generally i sleep 7 hours per day. but if i feel if i didnt sleep more time in night, or when i am sick,i will sleep in mornings(as i am housewife now and free in house in mornings).

i usually sleep 5 hours as an average . But, I am a medical technologist in a hospital working shift hours , so most of the time i have long sleep hours when I'm on nights shift . My body clock has been used to it and I don't have any problems of my sleeping pattern. So I guess it wont hurt that bad.

I have about 6 or 7 hours a day. But I find myself always feeling sleepy in the afternoon after lunch. I always think I do not have enough sleep I'm trying to aim at least 7 hours, meaning I have to go to bed earlier at 10+ or 11pm since I get up at 7am every morning.

I have 6-7 hours. It depends if go to bed early or to surf the internet until 12 in the midnight, after that whether I'm sleepy or not, I go to bed to sleep.

This is a good topic hopefully some people can really learn some useful information here. you dont want to little sleep, and you dont want alot of it. go for 8 hours of sleep and thats it. to little sleep is one of the most unhealthiest things you can possable do for yourself. I was in a bad habbit of OVERSLEEPING. i would sleep atleast 10 hours a day, and just the extra 2 hours really made me fatigued and i had a serious decline in energy. oversleeping is not healthy at all. its best to go to bed early and wake up early.. ive had some interesting sleeping patterns and pretty much they've all been causes by late nights on the computer.

umm about 6 or so maybe less or more deppends what day and what my lobs like it's different theese days and pluse i go to bed late and some time early.

It is correct that we have to sleep for 7 hours every night. Sleeping on daytime won't do. The best hours of sleep is 7-8 hours starting from 9pm or 11pm. 9 hours of sleep will cause you to be sluggish early in the morning and you would have a harder time to sleep at night. 10 hours of sleep is better than 9, but it's still worse than 8.

sometimes I feel the lack of sleep is marked every waking body feels weak and less fit then to overcome it is usually my drink vitamins

Well, most of the time, I'm a regular sleeper having 8 hours of sleep everyday. That's enough for me as I can wake up every morning with a refreshed and energetic mind, and my work is more efficient. But sometimes, I may not be able to have enough sleep if there's too much work for me to do at hand or there's something else needs dealing with. Insufficient sleep not only influences our working efficiency, but also leads to serious diseases as you mentioned. So whatever we do, however busy we are, we should manage to have enough sleep everyday.

hi carpediem17, i do sleep 9 hours a day......but once it was like 11,,always sleepy head......but now controlled and made it to 9 hours

Sometimes I sleep too much, sometimes I dont sleep at all. My sleep is like my apetite, sometimes more, sometimes less.

hmmmmmmmmm.....i would say i get around 6 to 8 hours of sleep daily =]

I sleep for at least 7 hours. They say that lack of sleep and oversleeping can cause heart problems. Maybe this article can help... http://health.asiaone.com/Health/News/Story/A1Story20100801-229842.html
