Ahahahahahhaaaaaaa......sleep...yeah. It's been awhile...

not enough

The amount of coffee I drink is inversely proportional to the amount of sleep I've had. Similarly the amount of sleep I get is inversely to the amount of coffee I've drank.

It's a vicious circle really.

On average less than 5 hours can't even think when's the last time ive slept more than 6 hours at night

if i'm working at 6am, i'm lucky to get 4 hours. generally speaking, i get about 6-8hours

It varies. Last night I slept for about eight hours. I've decided to have a day of relaxing tomorrow so I might have a little nap now and then wake at midnight for a bit. Lots of sleep tomorrow. I'll be hoping for twelve.

Generally 8 hours. I've been getting about 12 hours lately though. The last two weeks or so. Sleeping far too much. Dunno why. Still usually knackered all the time anyway.

I think i'd rather 6 hours and have all the energy in the world than the 12+ im currently getting and still feel comatose afterwards haha.

WhoWhatWhere

Varies. Anywhere from 4 to 8. Occasionally 2 or 3 but I'll nap in the afternoon those days

I would love to Hibernate sleep for a year and then awake for the next

The older I get the more difficult it becomes. Go to bed early and spend the night dozing and fretting and worrying about work. I'm old. Maybe it is my conscience When I was in my teens and twenties I could sleep for twelve hours. Now six is an accomplishment. With pints in I can sleep for nine or more.

Asleep by 12 and awake as per my reply to the thread on what time we wake up at. Do the maths.

Stigura

I don't.

I wait.

Between 8 and 9 hours regularly. I'm lucky

12 hours and still tired? I recommend a trip to the doctor!

They're overslept which makes you lethargic. Your body thrives on a healthy amount of sleep, taking a sleep for over 7-8 hours will leave you feeling tired, mostly because you're dehydrated and hungry. The doctor will simply advise getting up on time!

Between six and seven usually.

el diablo

Three to four hours of fragmented sleep. Less if I've drank alcohol.

About 5/6

The best thing about being an insomniac is that there is only 3 more sleeps till Christmas

hairyslug

3 to 5 hours lately, I feel fine but I'm being sent to a sleep hygienist, whatever that is

Richard Hillman

About 7-8 lately but up until recently I used to work off 5-6. I notice I find it a lot harder to get up after 7-8 but am up sprightly after 5 hours.

osarusan

6-7 hours on average.

Bio Mech

Usually around 7 or 8 but it's very broken with kids waking me up. Have a three year old and an 11 month old who like to tag team their wake ups. So if I get 4 hours straight through I am doing well. Hardest thing about parenting I have found so far . The tiredness.

You're probably coming out of sleep before you hit the REM cycle. Not quite waking up but never getting fully into restorative sleep.

Penny Tration

About 6 hours usually. I could really do with more, I'm exhausted unless I get 7 hours of sleep, but I can't stomach the thought of being asleep by 10pm just to get up at 5am for work, so I'm usually asleep by 11-11.30pm.

NIMAN

Not enough.

lawlolawl

Maybe six hours and I'll wake up 2 or 3 times a night and just lie there having an existential crisis for a few minutes.

Rubberlegs

Usually sleep from about 11.30 till 3 or 4 if I'm lucky. Then doze on and off,toss and turn and torment myself worrying till the youngest is up at 7ish. I spend my life in a shattered daze

Sleeping too long makes you more tired than not getting enough sleep.

Sleep is a poor substitute for caffeine.

jester77

Around 5 hours on a good night.

My typical day starts at 7 if the kids don't wake me earlier. Get them ready, get breakfast into them, off to the creche, then to work, home at 7:30, help get kids into bed. All that is done by 8:30, then start dinner, finished cooking and eating by 9:30. Clean up the house, odd jobs, done by 10:30. Then hit the gym for an hour or so. Get to sit on the couch around midnight, relax and watch a bit of TV until 2 and go to bed. Rinse and repeat.

Sometimes as little as 3 hours. Sleeping pills help but make me feel very groggy the next day. I don't drink coffee or anything with caffeine and take plenty of exercise but nothing works. I'd give anything for a good night's sleep and to wake up feeling refreshed.

Try psychotherapy.

beks101

About 5 during the working week when i have to get up at 5.30am, about 9 on weekends when I'll lie in until 9 or 10.

Total night owl though. Love my bed but it's taken me about ten years to train myself to be in it before midnight.

TerrorFirmer

About 6 to 7 hours on average, sometimes an hour extra on weekends, but I think 6 to 7 is just what's ideal for my body as I always wake up after that time. As long as I get over 4 I'm OK the next day really (but wouldn't fancy it on an ongoing basis). My dad only sleeps around 4 hours a night and has done since I was young, not sure how he copes with that.

Rum Ham!

Usually 8 hours. I used to stay up quite late and get less but I've started going to bed earlier the last year or so. Was hard to get to sleep for a long time when I started going to bed earlier

midnight city

7 hours but id usually be up 2 or 3 times to the toilet.

LordSutch

6.

Cupcake_Crisis

I like at least 7. I rarely sleep all the way through, so an hour od that is taken up by tossing and turning or needing to use the loo. If I set my alarm and it says 'alarm set for 6 hours and....' I get very agitated.

I can function on a lot less if I need to, but for no more than 2 or 3 days. I love my sleep.

whoopsadoodles

Usually between 6-7 depending on what's on. Tend to wake a couple if times during the night.

Last night alarm was set for 5:50am and got to sleep about 11:30pm.

Didn't wake at all during the night and so got a shock when the alarm went off.

Tired now :rolleyes:

Shannon757

I slept from 12:30 to 5:30 and I'm not tired in the slightest. No caffeine either, just water.

notsoyoungwan

5-6 hours. Would love to be able to sleep-in but I always wake around 5.15/5.30am , on weekdays and weekends.

_Brian

About 6 when things are good. Bit of Insomnia creeping back in at the moment and it's 3-4 in recent days.

Riddle101

Between 6 - 8 hours. But it varies from time to time. Sometimes I end up sleeping well past my usual times on days when I'm not in work, and sometimes I can't sleep at night and would only get a few hours sleep. Sometimes only an hour.
