Poll: How many hours do you sleep on Work days?

[Hedge]

I need to change my sleeping habits really. I dont think 6 hours is really enough , but it just feels comfortable.

How long do you aim to sleep before getting up for work/college etc?

 

[robfosters]

8 hours min. Anything less and i'm like a corpse.

 

[Kurisu Makise]

9-10

 

[panthro]

I usually sleep by 11pm and Im awake by 6:30am. 7.5 hrs. I should really sleep a bit more though.

 

[Hades]

About 5.

 

[Vanilla]

Typicaly about 6.5 hours (bed midnight, up at 6.30)

I don't set an alarm, this is just the time I seem to wake up. On the odd morning I will rise at 7.30 or even 8.30! but 6.30 is most common.

 

[GTO656]

Average 8 hours, sometimes four 4/5 least

 

[Substance]

On bad days I get around 4-5 hours but I aim for 8 hours, It usually ends up being around 6-7 hours though

 

[rogan]

i'd say 6 or 7 get up around 8, usually up till 1 or 2

 

[hyip001]

8+ but it only takes me a few seconds to get to work, since I work at home

I tend to get between 5 and 6 hours on workdays, normally 4am-10am, that's before working a 12h20min shift.

At school? 6-7 hours a night. At uni? Anything less than 11 and I feel terrible.

Between the ages of 16- 25 I could easily get away with just 4/5hours sleep a night.

From 25 onwards it’s ramped up to a minimum of 6 and preferably 7/8 hours a night. I now thankfully have a good sleep pattern and seldom suffer from insomnia (maybe 1/2 a month). However I have had episodes of poor sleep lasting anywhere between several days to week/s due to stress (primarily work) which is now the biggest contributor to poor/lack of sleep.

It’s taken me sometime to admit it to myself but it’s surprising how much stress, once you identify and accept it, impacts your life.

About 6, maybe 7 on average. Some nights I can't sleep and so I'm zombified the next day. Try to make myself go to bed earlier but like tonight it's already gone 12:30 so it doesn't last long.

They say that sleep cycles last 1.5 hours and that waking up at the end of one will leave you feeling at your best for the day, 6 hours or 7.5 hours would fit that theory.
I tend to get about 6-8 depending on when I need to be up.

Spot on. Many years ago someone said to me that you can't see stress until it's too late. I laughed him off at the time. But he was absolutely right and it came to bite me a couple of years later. Once you realise that it is much easier to deal with it.

I sleep about 4 or 5 hours a night. I go to bed at around 1am most nights, but then I'm just lying there listening to music or doing something else as it takes me ages to sleep. By the time it happens, I have to be up for 06:30. I feel absolutely dead all the time.

I'll probably die of sleep deprivation.

6-7

Always intend to go to bed, but never manage to go as early as I'd like :/
