How much sleep do you get on average?

How much do you sleep on most nights? Round to the nearest hour.

6-7 per, but i never have a steady sleep schedule so some nights i get more than 8 some i get 3!

I usually get about 7, but I would prefer to get 8. I enjoy my sleep.

hell yea, i just wonder off at night and always stay up too late

I like to get 8, sometimes it's like 4, sometimes more then 8, depends on the day I guess.

Wasted, 10+

4-5 for me

I wouldn't be able to function properly with that kind of sleep on a regular basis.

That's why u come over only twice a week.

8+ for a lot of people is bad for them. I know others though who unless they get 8 are useless

Yeah I swear sometimes I get too much sleep and I'm fatigued? Other times I get 6 hours and feel great.

8 is recommended I believe

Doesn't it depend on age?

Seems like that'd make sense

I remember those little "Weekly Readers" we got in school. 1 of them I remember was on sleep and had a chart of how much sleep people need at certian ages. Obviously kids need more sleep then adults but I think after a point the older you get the more sleep you need.

http://www.cdc.gov/sleep/how_much_sleep.htm

NEWBORNS
(0–2 months) 12–18 hours

INFANTS
(3–11 months) 14–15 hours

TODDLERS
(1–3 years) 12–14 hours

PRESCHOOLERS
(3–5 years) 11–13 hours

SCHOOL-AGE CHILDREN
(5–10 years) 10–11 hours

TEENS
(10–17) 8.5–9.25 hours

ADULTS
7–9 hours

first thing I found.

In addition to age, other factors may affect how many hours of sleep you need. For example:

■Pregnancy. Changes in a woman's body during pregnancy can increase the need for sleep.
■Aging. Older adults need about the same amount of sleep as younger adults. As you get older, however, your sleeping patterns may change. Older adults tend to sleep more lightly and awaken more frequently during the night than do younger adults. This may create a need for or tendency toward daytime napping.
■Previous sleep deprivation. If you're sleep deprived, the amount of sleep you need increases.
■Sleep quality. If your sleep is frequently interrupted or cut short, you're not getting quality sleep — and the quality of your sleep is just as important as the quantity.

I never sleep through the night, ever. I wake up 3 times on average I would say.

Never seen me.....

Between 5-7, depends on the day. Usually I get around 6 hours of sleep.

I sleep about 7-8 hours every night. Maybe one night a week I will get in about 6-7 hours of sleep.

I do also. Atleast 1-3 times a night and I always wake up to pee.

You ever notice there are always prostate commercials on? It's funny because they always say "Are you waking up at night to urinate? You may have a prostate problem. You need this medicine NOW!"

I get paranoid over those damn infomercials! lol

Im normally 5 to 6 hours and then work 9 hours aday. Its really tough to get alot of sleep with 2 kids though.

About 4.5 M-Sat and then sleep in Sunday so more like 8-9 there

usually 4 hours or less most days of the week. About 6 on the weekends.

right after high school i used to average 10 hours.
