Poll: How much sleep do you need?

[Raven's Nest]

I'm 22 and about ten hours is an ideal amount for me. I'm able to function on much less but I'm not usually happy about it. I've noticed by body definately needs more sleep now that I'm not a teenager anymore.

If I'm in extreme circumstances I can easy go without sleep for about 40 hours before I start craving sleep.

I'd say I need 6 hours minimum.

 

[Danielsmells]

I'm odd, I can go on about 2-5 hours a night fine, and am good on 9+ hours a night, but give me anything in between and I'll be exhausted all day.

I generaly need about 8 - 9 hours of sleep a night. As someone who can't sleep during the day, I have to get it all in one big block.

And so, off to bed I go. It's past midnight where I am, and I'm shleepy.

 

[ioxles]

About 8 hours a day.

And 10 a night.

Really I'm in the same boat as Monkfish...

I can operate a whole operational day on five minutes. Afterward, ten hours to make up for time.

On normal occasion, six hours is sufficient.

I can pretty much survive on 2 hours sleep if I need to. I don't really sleep that much and I sleep pretty late too.

And unfortunately, you likely don't sleep with one eye open.

I've functioned perfectly fine on 3 hours of sleep for about a week or so, but I still prefer to have 8 or 9, possibly more. On average when I have stuff to do I get about 5 or 6 hours per night.

I can last more than 2 days without sleep, providing I have a lot of coffee at my disposal. But I will usually get about 5 hours of sleep a day. Unless I have been looking at any of the scary threads on the escapists like I was a second ago. Now I won't sleep at all...

I've gone multiple nights in a row with only 2-3 hours of sleep, it's not how much I'd like to get, but if I have to, I can work on that easily.

im a slacker, i had to get up early this morning, i felt like crap all day, tommorow morning ill have to have cycled about 10 miles by 2PM, ill probably just fall into a hedge and sleep for 24 hours on the way back

I don't really "sleep." I kind of "pass out." I get attacked by paralyzing exhaustion, and HAVE to sleep for about ten minutes. After that, I'm usually good to go. So I just kind of keep going until my body says, "you're done," and I collapse. Sometimes recovering from a nap attack will leave me energized, and I'll only need four hours of sleep that night. Other times it causes me to pass out around 10PM, and I don't wake up until 8AM.

 

[Life_Is_A_Mess]

A lot. But when I need to, a small amount.

Since I just saw the "The creepiest thing you've seen" thread, I'm not going to sleep.

...that was soooo creepy...

 

[Draithx]

I prefer to sleep around 10 hours a night.
I only need like 5 or 6 hours though, as I don't sleep more then that during school days.

 

[MrMixelPixel]

Normally I get only about 4-6 on weekdays. I like to stay up late... :/

However on weekends... I'm a totally nocturnal. I try get as much sleep as possible. Going to bed about the time I would wake up for school. Then waking up about 12 hours later.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Need at leat 4.
Want at least 8-9.
Have about 12 (unless I have to be woken up)

That's mine. I actually want quite a lot of sleep.

 

[Enemy Of The State]

More than I get, that's for sure. I just can't sleep at all...

 

[Baldry]

I usually get 7-9 hours. But when I was going to school it was about 6-7 hours

 

[The_ModeRazor]

I do not sleep.
I wait.

 

[Kiju]

12 hours. :\
