I used to get 8 hours of sleep every night, now it's more like 4 or 6 hours of sleep every night, sometimes 3, but on weekends I make up for it and sleep for maybe 12 hours :Q

Between the Internet, raising a daughter, running my own business, having quite a few hobbies and hanging out on Anandtech - yes, I get much less sleep now than I did 20 years ago.

I sleep an average of 8 hours every night, but it sure doesn't feel like I'm getting that much

well, I went from lazy bum (10 hours) to working stiff (plus classes), which is only ~6 hours...which sucks. And yeah, much like the OP, I make up for it by getting about 10-12 hours on my days off/weekends. :)

Sleep? That's what work is for ;) :p

I got the most sleep as a kid, like many others. With the internet, I'm sure there's more sleep deprived people such as myself. Wonder what kind of drugs sold more in general because of the existence of the internet.

I work 6-day weeks and sleep around anywhere from 4-7hour a day, which isn't bad actually.

Working my own hours lets me have a messed up sleeping schedule. On most days I'll go to sleep at 3:00 - 4:00 AM and wake up at Noonish so I usually get 8 hours minimum. Back in high school I got barely any. I would stay up all night til 4am playing quakeworld (quake1) then be up for school at 7am! College was a little better due to flexible classes but still only 5 hours average. Now that I'm done school I guess I'm making up for it....just cause I can really. No reason. :p
