Poll: How much sleep do you need?

[Sinclair Solutions]

I can go a whole day on about 4 hours. I will be tired and a bit irritable, but I will be fine.

When I can sleep as much as I want, the time varies. Usually about 9 hours.

I have a very inconsistent schedule, that can be working till 3am one night, the woman wanting to do something the next morning, and my friends pestering me to do something else that evening. I really just sleep when I can, which is really very little, but I function pretty well, and as far as I can tell, I'm not even a very irritable person.

 

[Argtee]

I need about 8-10 hours of sleep.

I rarely ever get that much sleep when I have to go to school, which is why I'm ALWAYS tired.

 

[voetballeeuw]

I need more sleep than I get now. All kidding aside, I probably require between 8-10 hours a night but I rarely sleep that much.

 

[dietpeachsnapple]

If I am on a coffee drip, and I am staying active, 3 hours a night can do it.

If I am relaxing, and am doing everything right, I prefer about 9.

 

[Thrashgrinder]

7 to 8 hours is enough for me

 

[BlumiereBleck]

A lot. Like 12-14 hours.

 

[Jack_Uzi]

About 8 hours a day.

And 10 a night.

Haha! I know that quote! It's from Bill Hicks (R.I.P.), if I am correct. Still remains one of my all time favorite comedians! Never seen a person with so much love and loathing for humans as this guy!

For me, depends on what task lies ahead of me the next day. I can go on 3 hours or none at all if need be, but I'll probably make some small mistakes during the day.
I love sleep and will take 10 to 11 hours if I can.
A long time without enough sleep just gets me edgy and annoyed very quickly. Around that time I just ask everyone to stay away from me.

6-7 does me good
if i go more then 10 i get some form of paralysis

 

[Instinct Blues]

I always try to get at least 8 hrs but I can function on less though I really like getting 12 hrs if possible.

 

[Ophiuchus]

I can get by on 2-3 hours if need be, but I'll usually try to get at least 6 hours for the right balance of 'having time to get stuff done during the evening' and 'getting enough sleep to actually not be tired'.

If I didn't have to get up, go to work, get stuff done and generally be a responsible functional adult, I'd sleep as much as possible. I like to aim for at least 10 hours a night during weekends and holidays, 12 hours is preferable. My personal record is 17.5 hours, which would've been much more but a certain person came in to wake me up on the grounds that I (apparently) needed to eat.

 

[Anchupom]

I function on about 6 or 7 hours normally, but my parents think I work on 9 or 10 as they sleep before I do.

 

[child of lileth]

Minimum of 2. I won't be very functional though. I'll be really slow to respond and react. At max, I sleep 10 hours sometimes.

 

[HerrBobo]

I can get by of 4 or 5, but I like 12.

 

[HighHoax]

I never really feel like I need sleep, I get a boundless amount of energy (and poorly used mind you) out of no-where. But when I do sleep it turns out I exhaust myself. (^0^)/

So yeah, I push my body without realizing it.

 

[Betancore]

When I get to sleep uninterrupted, I can sleep up to 14 hours. So I guess I need more than 10. But usually I only get around 4-5 hours of sleep. I can survive on no sleep though, for at least a few days.

 

[TheLaofKazi]

It varies. Sometimes I can function for a few days on less then 5 hours of sleep per night, but then that can catch up to me later on, or even soon, it depends on a lot of factors.

 

[TheTaco007]

Somewhere between normal amount and a little.

 

[Daestar]

I sleep for about 9 hours but I'm still yawning through the day, but really, I blame my sinus(es? is it E-S?) because I don't ever feel low on energy, and I'm never tired except about 45 seconds after a yawn.
