How many hours do you sleep on average

WellyJ

Reading through a Dream thread here suprised me in that i notice a lot of people get 10+ hours sleep each night, whereas i usually get 5 at the most. Am i in a minority with this?? Wouldnt have thought so until reading that other thread

So people, how long do you sleep each night?

garthv

between 7 or 8 for me but when the weekend comes along its about 10/11

Oriel

There has aleady been a poll on this btw.

kaimera

not enough

overly tired this week already.

zAbbo

sleep around 8 a night, but on i dont sleep at all on either friday or saturday.

People sleep too much

Citizen_Erased

Between 8/9 constantly over the holidays.

petes

Really need 8. But if something on I want to watch at 2 in the morning Ill stay up for it.

Sleipnir

Six. I don't know why but no matter what I've been doing or how much I've had to drink I am up six hours after I go to sleep.

Civilian_Target

I generally sleep 7 when I'm in Ireland. Here in Macedonia I sleep about 6 at night and generally a 4 hour siesta between about 3 and 7 o'clock, between the end of work and the start of the nightlife.

Boggle

About 4-6 hours a night generally. Have serious trouble falling asleep (especially if I've anything on my mind)...

thelordofcheese

About 4 or 5 hours a night, 4 years of being a night owl student means i can't get to sleep before 3am, but my current job means i have to be up for about half 7.
try to make up for it on the weekends, but end up playing BF2 instead

Winters

For the past month or so I've had on average about 6 hours sleep a night at most.

Its really starting to kill me right now. I need to start going to bed early.

dudara

about 6 hours. Go to bed at 2 and up around 8. I tend to get 8 at the weekend, which is a big sleep in for me

Praetorian

I try and get 7 1/2 to 8 during the week, I really struggle through the day if I have any less than that (like today). I usually have one lie on every week on Saturday or Sunday.

shellby

about six hours never much more i end up more tired the next morning

MooShop

usually 7-8 hours

lacuna

For the past week I've been getting about 10 hours.

Must look for job today...

TerrorFirmer

I get about 5 1/2 hours a day, and the last few weekends have been the same - this weekend, I promise myself, lie in time!

-oRnein9-

6 to 7 hours max, less to none at the weekend depending on the situation.

drdre

i sleep about 7-8 every night. i am usually up at 7am everyday.i donot know why:D

YeatsCounty

Around 6 - 7 hours a night. I need a lot more though.

Mossy Monk

nowhere near enough

its midday and i am already in bits

azezil

Varies, anywhere from 3 - 12 (last night heh, OD'd on pain killers tehe)

Raiser

I usually get about 8, but will wake feeling catatonic and wary of the world.

10 - 12 makes me recharged and happy - but guilty over missing so much of my day.... :eek:

Albert Einstein used to recommend that people got at least 12 hours sleep!!!!

seo-ireland

8-9 hours average, last night 11 hours (too much)

ixoy

6-6.5 I guess. I'm yawning right now so obviously I need more but if my brain won't let me sleep then obviously it disagrees. I try and catch up at the weekend.

Ishmael

about 5-6 hours mon-fri and maybe 12 or so at the weekend.

da_deadman

Usually between 7 and 8 hours a night. And, for me, that's enough. A good solid 8 hours will have me totally refreshed and ready to face the big bad world. However, it's rare to get that because I usually can't get to sleep for a while and then I will probably wake up early and go back asleep.... btw I HATE magpies

Dave

6 during the week, 10+ at the weekends.

NotMe

4-6 hours. I CAN'T go to sleep early and I HAVE to get up early. 10+ hours on the weekend. I love switching off my alarm clock on Friday night.

Feenikusu

About 7 hours.

Ditto!

At the weekends, I always intend getting a sleep on, but end up waking up @ 9am anyway [suppose it is a sleep in ... it usually means 8 hours kip instead of 5.5 hours]

Kiera

I'd say i sleep about 6-7 hours a night. I tend to wake quite alot too

Chong

As regular as clockwork with me, I am generally asleep by 23:00 and get up around 7 everyday weekday\weekend straight also sleep very well. Never really tired I suppose, I also hate these people who stay in bed till all hours.

Wertz

~7 hrs both w/e and during the week. I used to be able to sleep in of a w/e but for some reason I wake as if it were midweek nowadays

Chinafoot

Same as LGM, I try to sleep in at the w/ends, but still usually up for nine bells.... :mad:

byte

Usually seven hours or so, maybe eight or nine at weekends if I'm lucky.

grimloch

For me I'm generally located here come 12 o' clock and I rarely will be asleep beofore 1 and I get up at 7.45 for work. On weekends I'll get maybe 8 or 9 hours with luck.

rainbow kirby

Nope i also get 5 hours, if that, every night. I work 7am to 7pm Mon to Fri so when i get home i would rather stay up late than go to bed at 10pm or something like that and get like 3 hours home time! I don't think so...

But i do make up for it at the weekends when i would get 12+ hours sleep

goin'_to_the_PS

when school was on, about 7/8 hours. But now its the holidays around 11/12 hours

Sleepy

Usually between 5 and 7 during the week and then at the weekends I tend to sleep for 8/9 hours. Permanently tired though so it's probably not to be recommended. Setting myself up to be able to surf the web from bed (laptop and wireless) was probably the dumbest move I ever made where my sleep cycles are concerned!

crazymonkey

6 to 7 hours usually, little more on weekends,

FX Meister

Hmmm, about 6-7 hours a night. I find that instead of getting used to having that much sleep I'm getting used to the feeling of not having enough sleep throughout the day.
