How many hours sleep do you get a night?

Between 8 and 10, then a 4 hour period after getting up of zombified state, before beginning to wake up over the next 6 hours or so, being fully awake for about 4 hours, then back to sleep.
 
Glad that many are like me and struggle to get more than 8 hours! 8 hours is also my aim and to be fair, I'd prefer more to be honest as I'm an absolute arse in the morning. Any tips?

Sleep cycles work in 90 minutes bursts, you can actually have 3 hours of sleep and feel pretty refreshed. I don't sleep that in one hit, I'll have a couple of hours during the day then a couple of hours during the night. Seems to work alright for me.

Can't explain it really, just one of those weird things. Gives me lots of spare time though, at nights when everyone is asleep is when I tend to do those little extra things that I enjoy such as fixing the server, or reading up on the latest scientific news.

I do 'crash' sometimes, which means that I have a few days of needing 18 hour sleeps every few months, but after that, I'm back to normal.

You see, if I did that, I'd be dead in a week. I have to have a long (more than 5 hours) sleep wherever I am, because I will feel like shit the next day, be short with everyone and manage to alienate my friends.

I have no idea how sleep works. All I know is that I lie down, have a crazy dream, and wake up. I don't know or care what happens in between because I know that somehow, for some reason, it has been beneficial to me. How amazing is that? Sleep is the best thing ever. You don't move, and you get healthier. How great is that? It's ideal for a lazy teenager like me. But, this is definitely an "each to their own thing". If I had two hours a day and two hours a night my sleeping patteren would be well and truly screwed. I'd never be awake... ever.

I go to bed at 00:30 and get up at 08:00 on weekdays, and I go to bed at 03:00 and get up at 12:00 on weekends. I couldn't come home from college and sleep. Then get up, eat, and go to bed for two hours again before waking up at 3am and waiting another 14 hours before I slept again. You're losing the beauty that is sleep, Damo!

wish i could do that, but need longer.
It can be quite an effort to get out of bed if i have not slept for long.
