Sleep

[Josquius]

I`m finding it rather hard to get all the sleep I need. I`m just not used to this working a full time job thing, to get a full 8 hours I should be going to bed at 11 but that still seems horribly early to me...especially considering on weekends thats pretty much when stuff starts happening.
I often find myself napping for 2 or 3 hours on the evening even. Which is...weird.
How much sleep do you get? How do you manage it?

[Razgovory]

I have no idea.  I'm not sure if I'm asleep now or awake.  Or both.  Or neither.

[Sophie Scholl]

I'd say I average about 5 hours.  Sometimes a bit more, sometimes a lot less.  My sleep schedule is seriously broken and needs to be fixed at some point for my own health and well being.  Alas, but current job situation doesn't allow for it.

[KRonn]

Six to seven hours. I try to get at least seven or more but that's not so often. I seem to wake up early anyway, or be keyed up and wake early.

[Sheilbh]

Seven or eight normally.  Before I quit smoking I used to need about ten.  This is one of the best features of the non-smoking.

[Ideologue]

Ninish.  I actually need less.

I prefer 8, but I usually get 6-7. Voted 7

[Grey Fox]

Something between 7 and 8, well in theory. I try to go to bed between 10 & 11, waking up at 6 but my daughter wakes up atleast once between 2 to 4 am so that kills my night.

If I get less then 7, I start falling asleep at my work computer. Once in a while I try to go sleep before 9.

Tyr, eventually you'll just be tired enough to do it. Sure every weekend fucks up the schedule but it's either that or becoming a zombie.

Once

[HisMajestyBOB]

About 7 usually.
The last few weeks though I've had trouble sleeping, often staying up until 4-5am and sleeping until noon.

[Habbaku]

7-8, normally, occasionally more and rarely ~6 or so when I just forget to go to sleep on time.

If you're having problems getting to sleep, Tyr, you need to get more exercise during the day and avoid naps entirely.  Try to establish a consistent sleep schedule as well, even if you obliterate it on weekends.

I have a baby so...between five and six on average.

Same, almost to a word.

[Richard Hakluyt]

Hard to say, between 4 and 7 per night, but there are also top-up naps. I put 7 but, in general, would prefer to have slightly more.

[The Larch]

During the week, on a bad night 5 and on a good night 7, with 6 as an average (which is what I voted). During the weekend I compensate and get 8-10 hours per night.
I'm recently trying to get more sleep during the week, and have had some moderate success about it, but if I get careless I tend to undersleep severely.

This. Getting just 6 hours of sleep kinda' grows on me though. Like this week. Getting more and more tired. Expect grumpy posting today.
