How many hours sleep do you get a night?

[lee-mcfc]

depends really about 9/10

sometimes go bed around 3am wake up at 1pm

I always used to get 5-6, but in the last couple of weeks I'm made a conscious effort to get 8-9 and it makes such a difference. I feel happier, more patience, less grouchy, bigger attention span, etc.

How do you make yourself get 8-9 hours ?

I barely get 5 hours and work at least a 12 hour day mon-fri but even on weekends my body clock just wakes my up at 5.30 am work time and I just cant fall back to sleep, I dont get up that early but it is shit just laying there in bed.

I need 9-10 hours really and used to get it up to about 4 years ago, since then I always wake up after a few hours and end up getting up, then go back to bed for a couple of hours so probably get about 5-6.

try to average about 7 hours a night

there was a study published about three years ago that suggested that was the optimum sleep time

I try for 7. I suppose in reality sometimes it's 6.5.

In the summer, when I'm working my guts out, I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow and I get up in the morning no problem.

In the winter, when I'm less busy with work, and I'm more lazy, find it hard to get to sleep and today I didn't get up till 9am!

Usually get 6 / 7hrs , get up at half 5 for work . Can not have lie in's so usually get up at 6 at weekend.

not enough
I like to at least have 8 hours but if i am in uni early I will end up having less.

Between 2 and 4 depending on how tired I am
