Poll: How much sleep do you get..

[K1LLSW1TCH]

7 or 8 when I'm working and maybe 9 or 10 when I'm not. Sometimes I don't even go to bed until 5am though in which case I'll only have 5 or 6 hours.

 

[bLinK]

7-8 on average.

6/7 for me(wish it were more) I find it really annoyin though that my body refuses to stay asleep past 7am when I have a day off!

Same here. Every saturday I'm awake, no matter how late I was out the night before I get about 7 hrs a night myself.

I did some research and ended up using the sleepyti.me website to work out sleep cycles. I now go to bed at 10:45 to wake up at 6:30 each day for work and feel fine with it. Well it did feel a lot better for a while, but now I get woken up by my step dad leaving for work around 5 or the kittens being excitable after that. Its rare I get the proper cycles any more

 

[A.N.Other]

7-8 hours generally. More at the weekend. Depends on the kid, though

 

[JoeF1]

6-8 here. Unless its a saturday/sunday morning... then it ranges because my body likes to troll me and wake me up at 7am!

 

[[FnG]magnolia]

5 or 6 normally.

 

[joelk2]

7-8 i put which is my actual bed time hours but more often than not its less due to my little girl thinking sleeping is cheating

 

[koolpc]

I get 25hrs sleep a day!

 

[jackboy]

I went 7/8, most of the time its 7 like many others!.....with the occasional 8 when I have been working loads.

 

[No1newts]

Tends to be 5/6 hours though occasionally 7-8.

 

[robin66]

Went to bed last night at just before 11, and got up just after 9 this morning. So 10 plus hours or more a lot of the time.

On average 10 plus, and on the odd day about 7 to 8 hours I find.

The reason I sleep for so long is down to chronic health issues.

Lately I haven't got enough hours in the day to get things done so I'm tending to work later and later at night/into the early morning. So for about the past 6 months probably about 5 hours a night max, if that.

Aim for 8 years, any less and it starts effecting my productivity & performance, sleep is important, I have found I need less than when i was younger, but I think thats partly down to a solid routine.

Weird thing, I often find myself waking half way through the night about 2ish, apparently it was quite common up to about 200years ago for people to have two sleeps at night, with a short break inbetween, this mid-break in sleep also apparently increases the amount of REM sleep experienced, which is what contributes to a 'well-rested' feeling!

 

[hondo]

5-6 maybe if I'm very lucky 7 @ night.

Although I can & do occasionally have a nap in the early evening.

IMO age does have a big effect on this, & I'm now the wrong side of being past what was the retiring age.

3/4.

Up at 5 every morning, calling time at night runs till 1/1.30 am when the day is done.

The early bird is easy, paper round as kid, still working for the man 30 years later.

on average though ?



i do 4 hours most nights but by the weekend it catches up with me and i end up doing a 10 hours snoozeathon

 

[AlbertBarkley]

I get daily 4 to 6 hour sleep.. Not more than 6 hours..

 

[schumi84]

At a guess I would say I get 7/8 hours sleep, however that is very rarely uninterrupted nowadays and as such I feel rubbish. It also seems that no matter how much sleep I get, being woken by an alarm of any sort is horrible.

The best nights sleep I have ever had from memory was following on from an all-nighter where I slept from 9:30pm and woke up by myself at 6:30am feeling great so went downstairs and cleaned the kitchen (I was living in student accommodation at the time).
