I always try for eight but sometimes it doesn't work out so good. If I don't I'll usually take a nap in the middle of the day to keep me awake. What about you? Do you get a full eight hours of sleep or not?

I generally get 4-5 hours of sleep a night. I am in University so I don't have time to nap during the day. On weekends I work late (til midnight or so). I would love to get 8 hours of sleep a night but so far my body has been able to handle the little sleep it does actually get. I am healthy and haven't had a cold or flu for 3 years.

I usually get a good solid 8 hours per night. I am normally in bed between 10 and 11 PM and my alarm is set for & AM to get up and get the kids ready for school.

If there's one thing I'm doing a lot nowadays, its sleeping..lol! I love to sleep and fortunately for me I don't have many responsibilities yet so I can make up for 8 or sometimes even 9 hours of sleep. My hubby leaves early for work and doesn't eat much for breakfast. So I fix him something and go back to sleep. I stay at home and don't have to cook till when my hubby gets back in the evening. I sleep for as long as I want!:)

usually about seven. If I get less than six I'm wrecked. I prefer ten hours but that is a rarity. I try to sleep in at the weekend to make up for the early mornings during the week. It's great now that the kids are big enugh to entertain themselves on a Sunday morning.

I usually get about seven or eight hours of sleep also. I try to get in bed by at least 10:00 p.m. every night but it doesn't always happen. I get up with my husband at 5:00 a.m. and get started on my daily duties. Sometimes I get started earlier than that and sometimes I sleep past my normal time that I get up. I have a hard time going to sleep some nights and when I finally fall asleep, it makes me get up later than usual. Sometimes I get up way before my husband does and get the day going. It all depends how I feel when I wake up.

I usually find time to sleep for a max of 6hrs. But now with the holidays on I get an overdose of about 9hrs of sleep everyday.
