How much do you sleep at night?

[Unspeaked]

Simple question: how much do you sleep at night, on average?

 

[themoonisdown09]

On weekdays, I go to bed around 11pm and wake up and 6:34am, so that's around 6.5 hours. On the weekends, I go to bed closer to midnight and wake up around 9am. So that's around 9 hours.

Depends when I go to sleep. I always wake up at 10:30am no matter if I go to sleep at 1 or 4am.
On Sundays I just get up when I feel like it. Can rarely manage more than 8 hours though - I'll just have a headache all day then.

After years of awful insomnia where I got about 1-3 hours per night if I was lucky, now I get about 7-8 on average. On the weekends sometimes 9-10. I think I'm making up for it now or something.

 

[PlaceofDis]

recently i'm lucky if i can get 4 to 6 hours of sleep.

 

[Hierotochan]

I get about 5 if I'm lucky, but I'm fully nocturnal now.
Can't sleep until 10/11am, then up when my girlfriend comes home from work.

 

[Jaffa Cake]

About six-and-a-half hours on average, I reckon.

 

[Keebler]

i get about 6.5 to 7 hours. if i get any less, it hurts and if I get more than 8 hours, it really, really hurts - it's like my body overloads and combusts.

 

[EmperorDarius]

I sleep from 10-11 pm and get up at 5:30-6 am

Hmm, no one at the extreme ends of the poll yet?

I thought it unlikely that someone would sleep less than 3 hours (I think you'd have a hard time functioning) but figured some lazy MacRumors member out there sleeps for 10 hours a night!

during the week for school i go to bed around 10pm and wake up at 6am, so that's 8 hours.
weekends i usually go to bed around midnight or an hour before/after, and wake up abouttt 9am, so that's usually about 9 hours.

 

[heehee]

I usually sleep around midnight on weekdays and get up at 6:30, that's around 6.5 hours of sleep. On weekends, I get about 9 hours of sleep.

 

[No1451]

Between 7 and 8 hours of sleep. Any more and I have headaches and balance issues, any less and I have horrible headaches and burning eye pain.

I wake up at 7 most mornings and go to sleep between 11-12


Edit: Not me but, my grandmother sleeps 4 hours tops and has been doing so for years.

 

[bassproguy07]

usually dont sleep at night, i'll fall asleep at 12am for maybe 2 3 hours then I am up till around 8am then go back to sleep.....glad i Dont have anything to do during the day haha this will change come tuesday, Marines control my sleep haha and there will be days, 52 hours to be exact, where I get only 8 hours spread out in a 52 hour perios haha.

 

[Melrose]

I'd say about 8. I usually sleep pretty well.. actually it kind of comes and goes. I'll go weeks sleeping well and then a week or so not getting back at all. I'm a morning person and do better being in bed before 10 and up before 7.. doesn't always work like that, but eh.

I hate those nights where you don't get into a deep sleep, you just 'sleep' to pass time and don't wake up feeling any less tired.

 

[Legolamb]

Between 5-7 hours, but only if I take a sleeping pill. If not, usually 4 hours I generally have no problem falling asleep, but I wake after a few hours, brood about the fact that I'm awake, yet again, and then drift off for an hour or so once I see sunrise.

 

[Antares]

The poll is kind of flawed for me since I typically get 7 to 8 hours of sleep....which overlaps two of the options.

If I get less than 7 hours of sleep, I feel like my brain doesn't function properly. I can't think as clearly and as well. 8 is ideal as I feel normal and rested with that. If I slept more than 10 hours, I would feel groggy.

Monday through Friday, I get at least 7 hours of sleep. Sometimes less if I'm working on stuff and have no choice but to stay up later. On the weekend, I almost always get at least 8 hours. If I stay up really late, I'll just sleep later to get the full 8 hours. Unlike many other people, I thankfully wake up based on when I get my full 8 hours of sleep, not the time of day.

 

[Wowzera]

Actually I sleep from 1-2 A.M. until 7:00 A.M., but, always sleep at the afternoon (2-3 hours tough).

 

[99MustangGTman]

I have chronic insomnia so sometimes I get 3 hours or maybe even an hour, and sometimes I get a full nights rest around 8+ hours, but thats only when I take my sleeping pills or take my "herbal" supplement to help me sleep.

 

[bartelby]

I'll sleep between 9 and 10 hours a night. Plus 2 or so hours when I get home from work, sometimes. Weekends I can sleep 18 - 20 hours a day depending upon how I feel.

So by my calculations... between sleeping... and posting on MacRumors... when do you find time to eat?

 

[atszyman]

Currently from 5-7 hours. Go to sleep usually between 11:30-12:30, get up around 6.

That's about to change with the impending arrival of our third daughter. The other kids are up by 7:30 at the latest (usually) even on weekends but at least on weekends I can sleep until they come into our room. so I might get a full 7 hours on a weekend day.

Coffee is my faithful morning companion.

 

[northy124]

I get 2 hours, I go to bed around 3 get up at 5. I like to read books (don't tell anyone ) and write my papers (I find I am more able to concentrate late at night than I am in the day)

 

[me_94501]

Right around 7 hours on weekdays. I'm usually in bed by midnight and up a little after 7 AM.

 

[és:]

It depends on a few factors. On a normal day I get about 7-8 hours (1am 'till about 7:30 - 8am). If I'm writing then it might be something like 4am 'till 8am. If I've got a lot of work on then I might pull an all nighter.

Norm is 7-8, though.
