    I always try to get 8 hours, end up being too awake, fapping, getting annoyed it takes so long, have to turn on the light to get the right thought, It takes 45 mins, I go to bed annoyed with myself, 7 hours sleep.

    Rinse repeat.

    On a weeknight, I'll usually get between 6 and 7. On a weekend night when I don't go out, I'll get a good long sleep, anything up to 12 hours (I love my sleep!)

    I'd rather 8, but it's usually around 7. I can catch up with a few hours during the week sometimes.

    Weekdays, usually about 6 hours.

    Although I've been having vicious bouts of insomnia recently.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,456 ✭✭✭Jev/N


    Not working at the moment, so it's usually well over 8 hours a night!

    When I'm working, anywhere between 5 and 7 on average


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,854 ✭✭✭zuutroy


    Can't function on less than 8. Need 9 hours in bed to factor in falling asleep and snooze tennis. Wish I could be one of those weirdos that can survive on 6hrs!

    4-6 hours during the week, catch up on Friday and Saturday. I've been known to KO for 15 hours on weekends.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 642 ✭✭✭Contessa Raven


    I'm unemployed atm so about 11 hours a night! And I'm usually wrecked again by 6pm! :(

    I'd say my average is 7 - theres nights where if I've to get up for work/college I'll only get 4 or 5, but then if I've a free day the next day I'll sleep for 10.

    5 at the very most. I hate sleeping, I'd rather be up and about exercising or something else useful. Every once in a while I sleep in for an extra hour or so.

    Anything less than 7 hours and I feel rough.

    I used to be able to cope with 4 or 5, once I caught up at the weekend, but as I get older (mid 30's) I find I can't function if I don't get at least 8 every second night at a bare minimum.
    I used to view my bed as admitting defeat (unless there was some loving going on of course), but these days I view it more as my best friend. I love it:D

    Between 5 and 6.

    Its usually 5, end up going to bed about 1 and have my alarm set for 7 to be in work for 8.

    In bed at 11, 15 minutes reading time, 15 minutes fapping time, 10 minutes of tossing and turning, 20 minutes trying to sleep, wake up at 8 which is always just before the best part of my dream (penelope cruz and salma hayek just about to kiss and fondle each other's breasts) - total time 8 hours


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    During the summer - 10- 12 hours most nights - when i go back to college next week... about 5 :(

    I get 7 hours every night with maybe 9 on sat/sun. I used to sleep for 12'hours on the weekend before I started in the gym. I sleep way deeper now and need less sleep.

    The sleep cycle app for the iphone is great at wakingyou up slowly.

    I nearly fell asleep reading this thread & it's not even 2 pages long yet.

    I get 10 hours a day in summer but in the school year I'm lucky to get 7.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,659 ✭✭✭CrazyRabbit

    4 hours at night, then another 1 hour 'nap' when I get home from work, when needed.

    You get the most benefit from the first 1-2 hours of sleep.

    Sleeping is a waste of time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,349 ✭✭✭✭starlit


    I tend to sleep for about 9-10 hours on average most days, sometimes more like 11 to 12 hours maybe. The lowest amount I'd sleep in a given day might be 6-8 hours. I'd often sleep without waking until the next morning! I'm a very heavy sleeper so would take a lot to wake me! Wouldn't even hear thunder! I hate napping during day as I'd never feel fully awake or functional. I'd rather sleep for as long as I can and sleep in and be refreshed throughout the day for as long as possible.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,148 ✭✭✭✭KnifeWRENCH


    During the summer and at weekends, anything from 10 upwards.

    During college, only around 6 or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 363 ✭✭Rockn


    About 12 hours. I wish I could get by on 6 hours a night. On the rare occasion I do, I more than make up for it the next night.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭Cerocco


    I love my sleep, my old dad used to say the 2 hardest jobs of the day were going to bed and getting up. I totally agree, Once i'm in bed i nod off within 10 mins and thats me till the alarm. Usually 8-9 hrs later then I have to snooze for at least 40mins. Find it really hard to get outta the bed :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,762 ✭✭✭✭stupidusername


    I usually aim for about 9 - 9.5 hours sleep. Though then I wake up and feel like I need more. plus it usually takes a bit too long to go asleep, especially lately.

    I hate people saying you only need 7-8 hours, I know I need more than that.

    It keeps getting shorter and shorter.

    When I was in college I'd feel hungover if I got less than 8 hours.

    Got a job where I had to be in work for 8:15am. Which meant getting up earlier. So then I was down to 7.

    For the last while though I've been going to bed at 1am. So that's 6 hours. And to tell you the truth, that 1 extra hour really does make a difference. I totally KO on Saturday.
