How many hours aday do you work and sleep..

For weekdays 10-12 hours work, sleep 5-6. 6-7 if I go to bed earlier. Sometimes I'll feel fine and other times knackered on the same sleep.
 
It would take a very long post to explain mine lol :| my working hours vary a lot and my natural sleeping pattern if left to my own devices is quite offset from normal and there is nothing I can do to change that (which means on an early start I barely get any sleep and on a late start I sleep off quite a bit of sleep debt). If I have no alarm set and a week off work I will reset to sleeping ~3am to just gone 11am getting just over 8 hours of sleep and waking naturally feeling refreshed and ready to go - this rarely happens normally tho - anything less than 6 hours I'm barely functional.

This week was something like:

mon: 10 hours sleep, no work
tues: 3 hours sleep, 6 hours work
wed: 5.5 hours sleep, 10 hours work
thurs: 3 hours sleep, 7 hours work, 3 hours sleep (came home and went to bed again).
fri: 4 hours sleep, 6.5 hours work
sat: 8 hours sleep, 4.5 hours work
 
Work about 10 hours a day, sleep 8-9, anything less than 8 and I am a zombie.

On weekends I tend to sleep way less as I get up and do things, often out the house at 6am.

I probably slept under 6 hours each night on average for 18 years.....I still sleep about 6 hours. Some people are different and as long as you get 5-8 hours a night you ain't going to die any sooner than someone sleeping 7-9 hours a night. I was reading somewhere that too much sleep is just as bad as not enough, if not worse.

Indeed. I've known this for a while.

Eight hours' sleep a night has long been touted as the ideal length of time to spend under the duvet but new research suggests it could shorten your life.
A study that included more than a million participants found people who sleep eight hours or more died younger.

Those who only managed four or less hours in the land of nod were similarly affected but six or seven hours a night was found to be conducive to a longer life.

the optimum amount of sleep is 6 - 7 hours in any 24 hr period - you're supposed to live longer than an equivalent on 7-10 hrs.

I like to try and sleep for 7-8 hours. But its completely dependent on my work pattern. If i'm doing an 8 hour shift, 11pm till 7am, I get in for about 7:30 and get my head down for about 8ish. Sleeping through to 4 or 5 pm feels like I'm wasting my day, so I try and wake up around 2:30. But this has a knock on effect later in the week, where I'm so tired I can get out of bed at 5/6.

Nights suck lol
 
Work 9-10hrs, sleep 6-7hrs.
I should really sleep more as I'm absolutely exhausted by mid-week, but there's just not enough hours in the day to do what I want/need to do therefore I have to sacrifice my sleeping time :(
 
I work from 06h00-16h00, and sleep from ~22h30-05h20.

Waking up early definitely has a knock-on effect, as I find it impossible to sleep in on weekends.

Work? None. Sleep? Anywhere from 4 to 10 hours.

If I get the job I'm hoping for, it'll be work 6 hours, sleep...probably about the same.
 
Weekday work 8.5
Weekday sleep 7.5

Weekend work 0.5 (if that)
Weekend sleep 7.5

I used to work 12 hours a day and 4-5 on weekends but I refuse now. I have a small child and a wife, admittedly I'm not on the big(ger) bucks like I used to be but still a good salary.
 
Normally I'm in work -9hrs on weekdays and sleep -6.5hrs. On weekends there's no work and sleep goes up to -8.5hrs.

Although I've been a bit unwell in the last week so have worked from home several days which means a lie in and an extra 1.5hrs in bed and an hour less work a day.

Jesus man, that is terrible. Your average sleep per night is well under 6hrs for the past 3 months?!

If you don't get more sleep you are drastically increasing your likelihood of dying at a considerably younger than average age :\

This could just be the time he spends in bed for extra curricular activities! Not necessarily the time he spends sleeping ;)
