I need at least 6 hours so I will not be so grouchy. I can always sleep more if given the chance, but if I sleep less than 6 hours most people will not want to be around me. LOL I like to sleep at least 8 hours so I feel refreshed and go strong for the day and part of the night. Less than 8 hours and I tire out earlier than if I have the full 8 hours of sleep.

Goodness you do not require very much sleep at all! My eyes hurt after being on the computer all day so I could never stay up until 3AM on MYLOT or any other site. Good for you, you will not miss much in life since you have no need to sleep it away like some of us! LOL

I like to sleep for 8 hours although this is usually a wish not reality. I have three children so one of them usually disturbs my sleep. If I have had a big week of not much sleep I tend to have one sleep in day on the weekend if I can to rejuvenate.

WOW! With 3 kids I am surprised you get anything close to 8 hours, but keep trying.

I would say about 8-10 hours per night. Somedays I may need even a little more. I sleep alot! I stay up late but then I sleep forever! Some people only get like two or three hours a night and that can't be good for the body at all.

8-10 is great if you are allowed that much!

I think I am about average at 8 hours a day. I have been known to function, even long term after a lot less than that though, whether through stress at work or having a little baby, but really I think this is what I need to be a normal human being! Even more would be cool. Wish I could do that cat nap thing where you can grab an hour here and there, whenever I try going asleep with the baby I end up getting into a deep deep sleep...

4 is not enough for your mind to function at 100%

i prefer to get eight hours a day, even if they arent eight continuous hours but i can get by on 5 or 6 and only be a little irritable, and less than 5 and im not nice to be around. i work nights so i dont always get all my sleep at once during the day depending on what is going on that day.

I agree with all this. Your body is telling you things when you don't get enough sleep.

7 hours is not bad and as you get older you may require more.

I can go on 5-6 hours of sleep for 3 days in a row but then need one of 8 hours to balance it out. Doesn't always happen though
