I sleep 6 or 7. I used to sleep more 9-10 and it would drive my partners nuts. But as I’ve gotten older I find I tend to get up between 5 and 6 no matter what time I got to bed. Kind of sucks because I like to stay up late, but can no longer sleep in.

6-7 at night and a 30 minute nap in a chair

Lack of sleep leads to permanent brain damage. Don’t brag about it

7-9

if you get less than 6 hours of sleep on a regular basis you are doing damage to your body.

Usually about 6-6.5. I generally go to bed around 930, fall asleep fast, and wake up around 4 energized and ready to go!

Then I hit a small crash midday, but can’t usually get away for a nap…

Sometimes 15 hours, sometimes 5 hours… 🤷‍♂️

Between 7 and 7.5 hours of actual sleep on average. I get in early and wake up early.

My sleep habits got messed up as a teenager and I’ve struggled a lot to fix it over the years, without success. I want to aim to get 7 hours. I end up with an average of 6:30. This doesn’t sound too bad, but it is. At the end of every 2 weeks the sleep deficit is a full night’s missed sleep. Over the past year I have a 90 hour deficit (as if I’ve completely missed almost 13 nights sleep).

I used to live off 4 to 5 hours after my first kid. It’s no way to live. It’s like being on drugs, you might not realise what a bad hole you’re in till you come out of it. It’s one of the biggest determinants to good health. Once you start sleeping well consistently, your experience of everything on life will be so much better when your brain doesn’t have a constant fatigue haze. This takes weeks of good sleep to recover from (not 2 nights of good sleep after months of terrible sleep).

Usually 7.5 hours, ±20 minutes. I literally can’t properly function at my day job if I do less. On rare occasions when I do sleep less I usually end up making up for it over the weekend so

During college I also did way less, only 4-6 hrs/day… but then I’d fall asleep during classes

7:45 last night. Average sleep duration over the last year is apparently 8:24!

I can get away with 6 hours for a couple of nights, any more than that and I’m miserable and useless.

avg 8-10, but lately waking up 1-2pm due to work previous day.

Between 5 and 7, depending on when the kid wakes up. I’m a night owl and struggle to go to bed on time.

8-9 hours

I recently read “Why we sleep” by Matthew Walker (a sleep scientist) and he advises to aim for at least 7.5 to 8.5 hours of sleep, as getting consistently less will lead to all kinds of detrimental effects on your health, as some others have already pointed out.

I am at at least 8 hours every night. I usually fall asleep between 11 and 12 PM and wake up between 7:30 and 8:00 AM.

It happens more often in the last years that I am already awake between 6 and 7 AM though, because I am getting old.
