Start work at 6 so up at 5, and many at work are in bed half 8 or 9 Screw that I get by on 6 or so hours tho come the weekend a lie in catches up the loss. Ideally 8 would be better but can't bring myself to go to bed any earlier.

8 would be lovely. 6 will do. The kids seem to conspire so that I get 4-5 most nights.

I do get to nap in the afternoon quite often though. Sleeping at around lunchtime is brilliant because the combination of sleep and the brain being active makes for some mental dreams.

I haven't figured it out. I aim for about 7 hours but last night I had about 5 and felt really good so fuck knows. Coffee sorts it out.

Used to think I could function on 6 hours for years. Finally realised it wasn't doing wonders for my health and now feel much better with a full 8 hours.

Everyone is different. I was hellbent on getting 8 hours but still always seemed tired so tried to sleep more. Ironically my Dr said try sleeping for less and I've found 7 hours is perfect for me and feel much more refreshed. Would appear too much sleep is as bad as not enough.

Takes me bloody ages to get to sleep regardless of what time it is or how tired I am, therefor I never know how many hours I get.
Only fall asleep straight away when shitfaced

Broken sleep is the worst feeling ever. Especially when you have young kids, or poorly kids.

6-7hrs during the week which is ample. The first hour of the day is always a chore but once I'm up and going, I don't feel tired during the day. I cash in at weekends though, especially now the cricket season has finished.

Always sleep better after a shag.
Hope Mrs Audrey doesn't find out!

I like 8 hours, but I like to think I can survive on 4-6, but not for prolonged periods of time.
I've often done weeks and weeks with 4-6 hours or so a night, more often 4 hours, and eventually I start to feel pretty fucking broken and ill. I take that as a sign I'm tired and I then sleep for 12-14 hours for 4-5 nights and I'm ready and raring again.
