How much do you sleep/night and how do you do it?

[Credit]

For the past few years I've been averaging about 6 hours a night, but it was never enough, so I recently moved up to 7-8.

I know there are people out there who get by just fine on 4 hours.

I tried to apply all my psychology knowledge to increase REM by timing cycles, taking multiple power naps, adjusting light/noise levels - I just can't do it.

How much do you guys sleep on average? Any special tricks to it or is it really all genetic?

I usually fall asleep by 11:00 pm - 12:00 am and sleep til about 6:15 am the next morning.

Have a hard time sleeping past this I guess due to my schedule.

7-8 hours a day keeps the body happy..

I get on average 4-6 hours but not by choice.

Now that school started and I have 2 kids to prepare in the morning, my sleep time is broken up. 4 hours at night, then back to sleep for another 3 in the late morning, So 7 hours total.... No real trouble falling asleep either.

If your having trouble, you may want to see your doctor.

That would be 23 1/2 hours a day...

If I'm lucky.

Working 12 hour nights I was lucky if I was getting 3-5 hours.

Once I got off of nights, it was still a screwed up schedule and only 3-5 hours.

It does not matter what time I go to sleep. I consider myself lucky to get 5 if I can.

We're all alike, sad to say. I go to bed around 1-2a with my BB next to me. I've actually waken up at 3-4a to check my emails or to see if I got that "good" email that I was waiting for. Sadly, I've even dreamt that I received the email that I wanted to receive. Sad sad..but once you have the bug, you'll always have it. My body won't let me sleep longer than 4-5 hours, I'd have to be medicated like Michael Jackson or something.

I am a night person, used to staying up till midnight, 1am. Wife is a morning person, gets up at 5:30 every morning. We are slowly killing each other.

I go to sleep at around 1 am and wake up @ 7 or 8 no matter what.even on weekends.

Ideally like 8 hrs sleep. But usually end up around 6 to 7 hours sleep. Just woke up by another doctor referring a patient as I am oncall.

I need at least 7 hours but IMO quality more important than quantity

True :yes:

I sleep about 5-6 hrs, sometimess less. I go to sleep at ~ 12:00 -01:00 AM and wake up at 06:10. On the weekends I sleep a bit more.

Actually that is the time of the day when I make the most :approve:

I sleep 8-9 hours, it is when my body regenerates, and I really need it. Keep in mind for example if you work out and don't sleep enough, it will have little to no effect. Your muscles grow when you are sleeping. You are also less likely to have cancer if you sleep enough.
