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!

Either that or he is a growing teen. Teens need more sleep on average because of the amount of energy their bodies use to grow. If not...well, then skoorb is right.

6 hours on average for me. 3-5 during the week, 8 on weekends.

Usually 6 hours now (7 days a week), but occasionally 4 or 7.

Marriage did that to me. I used to be a 4-5 hour a night man (weekdays, 10 hours on weekends). Wife couldn't survive on that little and wanted more.

Well, not counting last night where I slept from 10:00 to 10:30 the next morning, I usually get in about 3 hours of sleep before class, and have no resting periods in between...My body simply functions without much sleep very well. It hurts for me to lay* down for very long, I woke up this morning and hurt all over from sitting still so long!

Yupz...

Just finished college (unemployed but might have the job in like 2 days) and I'd say I get 10 hrs on average
I do 12 once in awhile though.

I wish I only needed good 7 or 8 hours solid to feel fully charged :(

I need to get in shape and stuff then that would be possible. Need to lose like 40lbs and just get more cardio/moving.
