Thread: How Much Sleep Do You Get a Night?

Man, I see that 3 people sleep more than eleven hours, I wish I had that! I at least get to have my days where twelve plus hours are spent sleeping, God how I love those days. I know it seems weird but the most lucid dreams I ever had, longest ones too, always come after I've slept for nine to ten hours.

Teen and i picked 7

On weekdays normally 6-7 hours, weekends 10-12. Last couple of weeks 2-4 hours a night...Yesterday it was 2,5. Hate myself for doing that, looking forward for this semester to end

8 hours. I'm committed to the school of LaBerge.

Im 17
I get around 6 hours on weekdays and around 11-12 hours on weekends lol

I am twenty-two and get an average of five hours of sleep daily, dozing off between 0100 and 0330—sometimes later—and waking up between 0530 to 0720 on weekdays for a few hours, then occasionally smuggling in an extra hour or two later on.

I'm 14 and I get 6-6 1/2 hours and get by fine in school.
And 10-12 on weekends

I'm 15 I Get 6-8 Weekdays/ 9-12 Weekends I usually nap too

I get about 9 hours a night...I prefer 10 or more if possible.

I am so busy every day after school I have no choice going to bed late, which is by 10:30. I wake up at 5:30am as well so I only get about 7 hours of sleep. Lately however I've been lucky enough to go to bed at 9:30 each night! That is all over this week however, but I only have a 3 day week and then Thanksgiving.

I get 10 hours a day usually. Its the only way to keep my awesome levels optimum 95'000 B!!!

I am just getting back into school after Christmas break, and now I have to get back into the habit of going to bed early . Anyone else have trouble getting to sleep after a break?

I only do for the first night. But then, since I only get like 6 hours of sleep I'm tired for the first day and get a good 9-10 hours that night. Normally though I get 7-8 on weekdays and 9-10 on weekends (I'm 17)

Having a social life in university while trying to get good grades is ruining my sleep cycles. I get about 5 hours daily, double that on weekends.
Physiologically speaking, it's all about habits. Cows and horses do get approx. 2 hours daily. Evolution made us sleep 8 hours a night, it was just a more convenient and secure sleep pattern after all.

Im teen and picked 8. I dunno, I can't really be stuffed trying to sleep more lol.

Teen, I'm 15
I picked 8, even though I sometimes get much more and then I'm pissed off with myself for being lazy, and sometimes I get less, like 5, in which case I'm angry with myself because I know that I should really go to sleep earlier.
I should get more than 8 hours of sleep, I know I should, but I can't fit that around my routine, because on thursdays for example I get home at like 11:30, and next morning I wake up at 7:45.

Teen (18)
I'd estimate 7h sleep/night average. Goes down to 4 during the week and up to 11 or something on weekends.
Used to sleep 5-6h; you simply get used to it - i guess your body learns to conserve energy (you don't really notice it).
When I decided to sleep more tho, my overall being improved
Looking forward to make myself get 8h/night avg :p

depends I need get to work so I sleep like 6-8h but I wake up very often at night when it goes to weekends i sleep 11h like I just can fall a sleep from 9:30pm when i go at 9:00pm to max 11:30 in weekend and how hard I try after or at evening cannot sleep at all

never enough, it feels like

id say on average i get 8hours sleep and when i feel i can have maybe an extra hour i will, ive slowly got adjusted to my sleep pattern, tellin myself i will wake up at 6:30 (which is what i really and then remind myself im going back into a dream etc) my body naturally wakes up now, so im glad ive got that down (y)

I need my sleep! I get about nine hours a night (21 year old).

7.5 - 8 hours seems to be perfect for me. I'm 22. Over 8 hours actually tends to make me feel lazy throughout the day. Seven hours of less leaves me feeling tired throughout the day...

Of course, I won't be getting that much sleep tonight... almost 3am, I need to be up a 7:45am to make/eat breakfast and go to class. Generally, I'm good with sleep. Probably once a week I'm not good (today). It's tough sometimes to go to sleep right away. I get home from work at 12am, then have a class that starts at 9am. Sometimes I just can't shut down. Yet each semester I still choose the 9am class. Forcing myself to get up earlier gives me a bit extra time (I leave for work around 1:30pm).

This spring ive been sleeping around 11 hours a night and now I'm back to 6-7. I'm going to be extremely tired..I need sleep. You guys all seem to get enough sleep! ;(

One of my favourite author's says that no adult needs more than 4 hours sleep per night. I used to think that I needed at least 7 hours to be able to function properly during the day. Over a two month period I forced myself to have just 5 hours sleep per night. For the first few weeks I felt tired and groggy but after two months I actually had more energy in the day than I had ever felt in my life before. I would never yawn during the day which I would do on 7 or more hours sleep. So my little experiment proved to me that after 2 months of rationed sleep my mind and body got used to it and all I needed was just 5 hours sleep and I felt better for it.
