How many hours of sleep do you get a night?

[Cappuccino]

How many hours sleep do you get per night roughly?

I'm getting around 3-6 and I can't motivate myself to sleep, there is always something happening in my campus... (Living with 4 students)


9:15 Lectures - I get around 3-5 hours sleep
11:15 Lectures - I get around 3-5 hours sleep
1:15 Lectures - I get around 4-6 hours sleep
Weekends - 7-9 hours sleep


You?

 

[Mixolydian]

RIght now, 9. When I start my new job it will only be 5.

 

[Bateluer]

In the winter months, 7-ish. In the summer months, 4. Not enough in either instance. I usually end up repaying the sandman on rest days.

 

[SociallyChallenged]

8 hours year-round. If I don't have a solid sleep schedule, I get some obscene insomnia.

7 usually. However, left to my own devices I'll sleep for about 9. I just can't ever be happy waking up at 630.

 

[Jeeebus]

not nearly enough. I've been forcing myself to put head onto pillow at 10:30pm as it's the only way I have energy to work out in the morning. I wake up at 5:10, so even if I fell asleep immediately, I'd still be getting less than 7 hours.

That said, just managing to get to bed in time is rough (forgetting the multiple times per night one of the kids decides to cry and wake us up).

 

[jaqie]

not nearly enough and way too much at the same time.

major chronic insomnia & being terminally ill sucks. *shrug*

 

[Zivic]

winter 6-10. Summer... sometimes none, for 60-80 days I'll run on 2-3 hrs. but usually around 4, maybe 5

 

[NAC]

Sunday to Thursday night I get just over 7 hours most nights, occassionally almost 8 hours. Friday and Saturday it will be 8+ hours for me to catch up. Last Friday I slept 12 hours, which was actually too much because I had a hard time sleeping Saturday.

I find that I need A LOT more sleep when I work out regularly. If I don't work out for two weeks, I find it much harder to fall asleep, don't sleep as well, and wont be tired even on much less sleep.

 

[Saint Nick]

Depends... varies from 5-9

 

[blackdogdeek]

5-6 hours. Need more.

 

[jsedlak]

I try and get 8-10. I am usually in bed at 8-9 and awake at 4. Lately I've been sleeping in until 6 though because training has ramped up.

 

[Carson Dyle]

How much do we get, or how much do we need? I've probably set an alarm 5 times in the past 20 years. My body knows when to wake up somehow, and I've had jobs with flexible enough start times that it doesn't matter much whether I wake up a bit early or late.

My whole life I needed 8 hours, maybe up to 8.5 if I'm making up for a short night or two. Around about the time I got into my late 40s I noticed that it went down to about 7.5 hours. I expect it will drop further, and soon enough I'll be that old man that gets up a 5:30 AM for absolutely no reason.

 

[nickbits]

8-11

 

[darkxshade]

around 7-8 on workdays
around 8-9 on weekends & holidays

 

[stalin123]

it depends on the day. Usually 6-7. When, I know I can sleep; ~10.

 

[SearchMaster]

Alarm at 5:45 on weekdays (takes me 5-10 minutes to get out of bed), asleep 10:15-10:45 usually. So about 7-7.5 hours of sleep most nights. Weekends aren't much better - stay up later and get up a bit later.

OP needs more sleep but his puppy is adorable

Her.

 

[rga]

Between 5-8. If I sleep more than 8 I end up feeling more tired than if I sleep for less than 5.

I wish all my lectures/seminar are in the afternoon. I'm struggling so freaking bad D:

 

[Carson Dyle]

From the looks of it, you're getting to sleep between 4 and 6 AM. Why???

Close. I'm sleeping between 1AM - 3AM. I have so many things to do, and I cant seem to sleep between 9PM-12PM. My sleeping pattern is soo strange! Yet I complain D:

 

[Kyle]

7-8 or so on average

 

[Lynnette]

Most days (I work nights) I sleep about 6 hours. Weekends I try to get at least 8 hours a day/night.

I have that problem. I am trying to get a consistent 7 and a half hours and it never fucking works. I either do too much or too little. And I'm off-balance the whole day.

Being sick doesnt help.
