During the holidays I'll sleep for 12 hours or so but on school days I'll get around 7-8 hours of sleep.
Poll: So, how much sleep do you actually get per night?

When I don't have school in the morning, I go to sleep like at 3am and I wake up like at 11am but only because I realize I must get up eventually. But I could keep going. So that's 8 hours.
During school days, I go to sleep like at 1 or 2am and I wake up like at 8am, so that's 6 hours, more or less. But I've always believed that a good night sleep (for me) consists of 10 hours of sleep.
I guess I'm a wuss at staying up that late. I've gone like two or three days without sleep but at that point, I enter my "drunk-like" state where I start hallucinating and everything's spinning and nothing makes sense. That can also happen when I'm really tired and I just won't go to sleep.

Dat Bell Curve!
OT: I get very little sleep an average of 5. Mostly because I hate sleeping as my dreams are either incredibly boring or nightmares

My sleeping schedule is basically whenever I can/need to. That generally means about 5 hours per night, going to sleep at 1:30am and waking up at 6:30am, however if I am particularly tired and free that night I'll take a nap from 4-7pm and go to bed around 2am, totalling around 7 hours of sleep. On weekends and holidays I'll go to sleep anywhere from 1-4am, and wake up any time from 10am to 3pm, so I make up most of my sleep there.
Is it healthy? God no, but I'd miss out on doing too much stuff if I let that get in the way of a good time.

Aye, that does indeed work like a charm.Starik20X6 said:

Also, daylight saving time messes us up more than most people would believe.
I regulate my sleep on week days to 6 hours. That is all I need for maximum concentration in the working days... I don't have a limit on weekends, and will usually stay up until about 3-4 and then get up about 10... so strangly still getting 6 hours... :/ And I have only just realised that as I typed!
0100 is my bed time on a work night, as I get up at 0700!

at night? 0... working third shift will do that... durirng the day (which acts as my night...) my goal is 7 becuase its far too easy to be tired while driving

YEah I'm about the same, trying to stop that though.
I always understood that what you really NEED is 6 hours. anything between 6 and 8 is fine. Longer then that your just getting used to sleeping longer then your really need. people claiming they need 9 hours or more have just grown accustumed to it. If you force yourself to wake up after 6 or 7 hours each night you will eventually feel just as chirpy as you would sleeping 10.
I flip-flop from 8 hour sleep schedules to 3-4 hour. Not consciously, just sometimes I can't sleep very long.
And I usually feel like crap all day though.
Though if my 3-4 hour sleep stint goes on for about two weeks or so I usually sleep for about 13-14 hours and reset back to 8 hours again somehow.

Me too. 8 hours during the night, 2 hours during the day.
This has become a cycle for me and I am more mentally and physically stable, so i wills tick to this cycle.
Whenever i see magazine articles about successful people being short sleepers, having power breakfasts and breakfast meetings, jogging from 4 in the morning, I think, "Nup. Not me".
I tried it many many time, then realised it was not realistic.
