6-8 on average, with a bump to 9 or so on weekends. i have found that i can go for weeks on 5 hours a night, but i prefer not to. during school i would normally do 3 nights of 2 or 3 hours, 2 nights of 5 hours, and then make it up on saturday AM by sleeping for 12 hours straight.

my record is 28 straight hours of sleep, after doing a 50-hour marathon charette in architecture school back in the day. i actually had thought i only slept for 4 hours and it was not until halfway thru the day i realized it was Sunday, not Saturday.
 
I would probably say 7-10. Lower during the week and more on the weekends. There's nothin' like a good sleep.
 
Usually 4-5 hours a night. But my body needs about 7-8 hours so I need to take naps throughout the day to make up for the lack of sleep.
 
If I don't have my full 8 hours sleep every day, I'll feel like I've been ran over by a ...

I just got 7.5 hours, it's 9:30 am right now, and I'm actually thinking about going back to bed.


I ended up eating breakfast, got back into bed at 11 am, and then my gf called and woke me up at 1:20 pm. Of course I felt like such a lazy ass after that, so I got up and went for an 11 km jog. :)
 
Beteen 7 and 8 hours is perfect for me. Any less than 5 and I'm too groggy the next day... and any more than 9 and I can't sleep the following night...

I'm a picky one! :)
 
I average about 6 hours a night, i wish i could get 8... but i can never seem to get to bed before 1 AM!! :rolleyes:
 
bout 6 hours a night, 7 if i'm lucky. its not consitent though cuz i get up at different times during the week...plus, if i take naps during the day it messes up my cycle. damn bed is too comfy

I could not do this. I mean my life is a ball of stress as it is, but I can't imagine getting enough work done to feed myself in 8 hours of being awake.


I have the advantage of being able to sleep at work... no really there is a cot set up and everything in the room just off the common lab area.
sometimes I have a couple of hours between samples at the lab and since it is a clean room lab its easier to keep the bunny suit on and go to sleep rather than go through the multiple stages and change of clothes to get out off and back into the lab.
as well my work is right at my school, literally one building over, so if I have morning classes i just overnight it in the lab or in my office. :)
 
I get 7 or 8 a night during a normal week. Probably less at the weekend.
 
Hmm. Not much. I have great difficulty sleeping. Constant waking up and struggling to fall aslepp. I uses ually get around6 hours of disturbed sleep. On weekends sometimes around 12 hours of disturbed sleep. It makes me feel like a zombie.
 
6 to 7 hours on weekdays, and 8 to 10 hours on weekends. I sleep more on weekends if I had less sleep during the week. Now why don't we have a sleepy smiley? :confused:
 
Anywhere from 6-9 hours.

I go to bed way too late on school nights sometimes, so sometimes it's probably just under 6 hours.... :eek:

But I function best w/ 6 or 7 hours of sleep I think.
 
I probably average 8 but it varies pretty wildly. I had about 5 hours the night before last, and 9 hours last night. I think the longest I've slept is about 14 hours.

I'm terrible at getting up. If something drags me from my bed then I'm up and awake, otherwise I'll lay there for hours.
