I go to sleep at 8:30PM and wake up at 5:30AM.

I workout Mon-Fri at the gym at work before I head into my office where I usually stay 'til 5:00PM.

I normally only get around 6 hours Sunday-Thursday. Unless its holiday or vacation day. When I was strung out on EQ then WoW it was less.

About 7-8 hours gross (I get to bed), 6-7 hours net (I'm actually sleeping, no asshole has woken me up).

On weekend, around 8 hours effective usually, which is why I still feel wasted. I need about 9 hours to feel 'good' during most of the day.

I go to bed after the 10pm news (sometimes before it is over LOL)
I get up at 6am to get everyone to school.

(Then spend the rest of the day on the PC and playing golf Retirement is so fun)

5-6hrs for the weekdays + about 50-70mg of caffeine the next morning. Part of the lack of sleep is the ~1hr it takes me to actually start sleeping once I'm in bed.
If I have a test, or otherwise need to be able to really think about anything, then I'll shoot for at least 7hrs.

Weekends, 8-10hrs. If I'm going to be enjoying myself during time off, I want to be fully awake for it.

Generally, in bed between 12-1. Alarm goes off at 7, but since my job has flex scheduling, if I don't feel like getting up at 7, I don't.

I get to bed between 10-11 (usually more towards 11), but usually don't get to sleep before 12. I wake up at 5:30.

I usually go to bed at 2AM and wake up around 7AM. Sometimes that ends up being 3-4AM (can't fall asleep or whatever) and I wake up around 7:30-7:40AM. I have flex time so I have to be in by 10AM (or should... I don't think anyone checks or really cares...) so I technically only have to be up by maybe 9:20AM?

I get 4-5 and am extremely happy/adapted with it. For some odd reason, if I sleep much longer, I wake up with a huge headache.

I do occasionally crash for 15 hours at a time. It happens maybe once every 2 months or so.

Up at 4:30-5am, in bed usually by 10pm, but I don't get to sleep until around midnight, ever. I'm usually awake a lot in the middle of the night and have a terrible time falling asleep.

Do you use a pillow? I found that I woke up with headaches and neck problems until I went without a pillow once. Now I never use a pillow, and neckaches are rare. Sometimes I do manage to sleep stupidly though, with my neck twisted all over the place. Those nights make for a day of migraines, and at least a full gram of ibuprofen.

Depending on the day, (my classes start at different times) I get between 4 and 6 hours of sleep every night. I MAY take a mid-day nap to refresh me though...:)
Weekends, (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) I usually sleep in, and get 8+ hours on those nights with only a rare mid-day nap...

(hey, I'm getting old...I NEED my beauty sleep!) :roll:

Sunday and Tuesday nights I get about 10 hours of sleep. Monday and Wednesday nights I get about 7.5 hours of sleep. Thursday nights I get about 8 hours of sleep. This averages out to 8.6 hours of sleep a night and in no way reflects what happens if I have papers/midterms/finals.
