How long do you sleep on average ?

[AFB]

I go to sleep any where from 10-12 and get up at 4:30am. So, about 4.5-5.5 hours. Edit: I'm in Highschool.

I get 9 hours a night - feel much better than my old 5 hour a night days.

I find that it's not how long I was sleeping that matters, but what time I get up.

I can go to bed at like 2 am and then get up at 8 and be fine, or go to bed at 11 and get up at 6 and feel like crap.

You are either chronically sleep deprived or sick and/or lacking proper nutrition. Nobody needs 10-11 on a nighly basis, long term. True, if left to my own devices I'd generally get about 10/night, but it's not like I don't feel totally refreshed on 8 or so. 10-11 "needed" is nuts!

 

[WHipLAsh13]

Go to bed usually 1-2 and get up at 6:30 on weedays. so 4.5-5.5 hours.
Go to bed 3-4 and get up 8 on weekends. so 4-5 hours.

where's the poll?

 

[jjones]

6 - 7 hours a night. Self-employed. No schedule; I usually fall asleep between midnight and 1 am and get up between 6 am and 7:15 am. I could sleep until noon every day if I wanted to but more than 7 hours sleep is a rarity for me.

 

[Regs]

Without the week ends around 6-7. But I crash on the weekends so it likely brings my avg up to 8 or 9 hrs a night.

i dunno. even when i was younger a had no responsiblities and no sleep debt (say summer) i would always sleep at least 10 hours a day. i get sick like once every 4 years. my mom is the same though needs 10 hours of sleep a night. and my dad too although not so much. maybe its hereditary. but it is very annoying, i always feel like im missing out on awake life. 2 hours a day of extra sleep compared to everyone else adds up quick. i can and do get by on 6 - 8 hours per night, but i have to make up for it every few days by going to sleep early/waking up late to get some 12 hour sleep days.
