Thread: How Much Sleep Do You Get a Night?

During the school year I would average eight hours, give or take one. But now that it's summer I don't go to sleep at all most nights, and sleep a bit in the day. It's unhealthy, I know, and I have to take a couple of nights every two weeks to energize myself.

Wow... I get well over 14 hours most nights.

I am a major heavy sleeper, who falls asleep anywhere if not talked to for about 20 minutes. I work from home so I have no reason to get up in the mornings. Apart from going out to see friends, when I will sleep less.

Suddenly I feel a bit of a waste of space...


EDIT: Forgot to add I am 25 yrs.

14 hours??? That's a ton o_o Now that summer is here, I am getting about 11-12 hours of sleep most nights

Teen. I sleep usually 8-9 hours! LOL.

I get around 10-12 hours a day... during the whole year, since i'm homeschooled

7-9 because anymore leads to a whole heap of problems. And I like those extra hours in the day.

7 hours now. Despite the initial tiredness in the morning, my head feels far more clear than if I sleep for 9-10 hours.

School is starting for me soon which means less sleep

I know how you feel. Even though I am tired, my head seems clearer and more alert than with more sleep.

This is my second day at university and these last few days I slept for around 5-6hrs each night.

I voted 5, which is my average (schedule swings four to eight, more often four), but I'm planning on zero for the next few days.

I usually get about 6-8 hours of sleep a night. I need about 11 or 12. The longest I can recall sleeping recently is 18 hours, though I'm pretty sure I slept through a whole day once And I wasn't even catching up from an all-nighter or anything o.o

I am dead to the world

I find it very hard to go to bed early. Yet I gotta get up pretty early for work. So on weekdays usually 5 hours max. During weekends, I'm outta control. I tend to sleep from 3-4am to 2pm the next day. A good ten hours.

I'm 15 and I get 7 hours sleep. The truth is, I never feel as if I get enough sleep, no matter how long I sleep for.

I'm 17 and normally sleep from around 10-11 until 7:30 for college or more on the weekends

Does that sound familiar to anyone by any chance?

You could be waking up in Delta when going for 8 hours, but waking up in REM when going for 6. So you feel "more refreshed" because you don't have to get up from deep sleep. If you time it right so that you wake up in REM (You might have to sleep 7 hours 30 or 8:30 instead), you should feel better.

I sleep from about 6 am to 8-9 am, with a nap from 2 pm to like 2:30.

for a good night sleep, i sleep over 10 hours! 10pm-10am, 9-9,8-8, 12-12.
8-10hrs is good enough.

Teenage. I usually get 6-8 hours on weekdays and over 11 on weekends and holidays. I love sleeping in whenever I can
