I only get about 4 hours. I’m somehow both a night owl and an early bird. I know it’s not great, but I’m 21 and there’s just so much I want to experience.
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…
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.
7-9
if you get less than 6 hours of sleep on a regular basis you are doing damage to your body.
There is apparently a very small percentage of the gene pool that only need 4-5 hours. I’m 6-8. It’s never consistent. Some nights I feel more tired and sleep earlier and some mornings I wake up earlier than I should but on average about 7 hours for me.
8-9. Used to be a lot less but I’ve got a good routine now and feel well rested each night.
I feel like I’m too old for this answer for two reasons, but:
I get 6-7!!! 🤷🏻♂️
- Used to be 6-7 hours, but I found getting enough sleep really helped with weightloss of all things. Had more energy all day, so I didn’t feel the need to snack after work. And the obvious, if I’m awake less, there’s just less time for me to be eating.
7-8 unless perimenopause is acting out
I get about 10-11 hours now. I don’t work, so I just sleep whenever i feel like it. I usually go to sleep around 9-10, and usually wake up around 7-8-9.
When I was a teen and into my 20s, I was sleeping 6-7 hours a WEEK, so to sleep so much now is a blessing. I’m on sleeping meds now, so it’s fine. Without my meds, I practically don’t sleep at all, or close to it.
I used to sleep well but in the past couple years, as my life has started falling apart, i can’t seem to sleep well anymore. I think i average around 5, but I’m guessing. I know many nights are less and some nights are more.
6-7 hours. 8+ hours during the weekend.
4 hours is unhealthy for most humans. If you consume caffeine (coffee, energy drinks, etc.) it can affect your sleep.
I probably get 6-7 on average. Up to 10 or so on weekends. Rarely as little as 3-4.
I’m tech lead for two off-shore teams who work 3-11AM my time, plus lots of daytime meetings and planning. So when I wake up in the middle of the night as I often do, I check to see if there are any issues that need my attention. And then I go back to sleep or sometimes I can’t. Today I probably fell asleep around 10. Woke up at 4 and had to send a message and await a response. Got on here while I wait. Got the issue resolved. But now I’m up because in a few hours I fly to vacation.
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.
4-6 hours, because of kids. It’s not ideal, but I’ve gotten used to it.
As long as you feel well, I wouldn’t worry about it too much. Everyone is built differently.
