How Much Sleep do you get per night?

I work shifts so up at 0445hrs on days so get about 6 hours if i'm lucky. Then on night shifts I sleep between 0800hrs and 1300hrs. I tend to sleep a lot on my days off.

According to QI Meister Stephen Fry the modern man / woman /manwomaman
only need around 4 to 7 hours sleep. He didn't reveal where he got the info from.

BooopA suggested this:

Trying to go to bed at around the same time every night and waking up at the same time every morning will help teenagers to get the sleep they need. Adults. In general, adults need between seven and eight hours of sleep. However, some people can function after sleeping for much less time.

Tell me about it.

Mrs gets up at 6am and she's fully alive. Takes her 10 mins to wake up.

I get up at 5am and I am still knackered at 8am.

You know that thing where you can't grip your hands properly when you first wake up? I'm like that at 10am still.

Bloody morning people
 
Depends what I'm working, if I'm in after 8 then about 7-9 hours. If I'm in early 4 or 5 am then 3-5 and sometimes an hour or two after.. averages about 7 I'd imagine.
 
About 6 hours, but I really need 8 or more. I get that on the weekend, but if I got it on weekdays I'd have no evening time for myself whatsoever :(

Know the feeling, It takes me about 3 mugs of coffee before the skin in my eyes clears! :p

I hate these happy morning people, used to work for the civil service and the happy people come in just as you logging on ! :mad: Knowing you wont be awake for another hour or so and just chugging the coffee down you! :p
 
I used to have trouble sleeping and would be going to bed around 11 and still be awake at 2 or 3 ish thinking about everything. Then I started routine sleeping and it helped so now I get about 8h of sleep most nights. Trouble is that for a long time I couldnt have a lie in and my partner hated me waking him up at 8 on saturday and sunday mornings.

Too true.

I get through two bags a week at home and in the coffee club at work.

Maybe caffeine addiction is real. But why do I always feel tired?? Noooo
 
Sunday-Thu I get 7 hours on average. Not enough for me. Alwasy feel shattered and sleep too and from work on the tube.

On the weekends I do a catch up and sleep from 9-11 hours easily.

I would say my 'normal' sleep if I am able is 9 hours, but only get 7 during the week hence why I am always tired.

But I am happy to get 7, as I have suffered with insomnia in the past.
 
7-9 usually, I feel crap if I have a few nights on the run of <8 hours sleep, really don't handle lack of sleep well.

On the plus side, I can be asleep and dreaming within about 5 minutes!
