I aim for ten hours of sleep every night, usually get about nine. After chatting with some folks, it appears I may be something of an outlier.

How many hours do you sleep each night?

6-7 hours every day but then I oversleep (10h) one morning every two weeks or so.

10-14 hours, depends on how long I've been awake. Sometimes I stay up for 24+ hours and I end up sleeping for around 18 hours.

Around 6h or less on weekdays, during the weekend it varies. Either 2-3h more, or less than 6 and in some cases, close to none.

My clock inside me says: 10 hours of sleep to feel good in the morning (and the "morning" cannot start before 9 a.m.) and to cheerfully turn off the alarm without touching the sneeze button :3
6 hours is the minimum for me to survive the day without any additional naps, though. And last insomnia episode taught me that I can indeed function with 2 hours of sleep daily. But that's not life, more like hell then.

It often ends in ~4 hours of sleep anyway, there are so many things to do before going to bed! ;_;

Also this is the Sleep I thought you were referring to.

Fookin' shoegaze classic, nice:) Kevin Shields was a visionary. I really like the trend of black metal bands incorporating shoegaze into their overall aural aesthetic.

I have had a sunrise alarm for the past 5 years, it's absolutely amazing. It feels like waking up naturally. The light has only failed to wake me up a couple times (which is why a backup audio alarm is always a good idea). Also, the "sunset" function is really helpful in getting to sleep in the first place. Now that I think of it, I don't think I have ever had to change the light bulb either.

In short, I highly recommend getting one!

Thanks for the reply, sounds like it should definitely get one of those with good ratings.

4h on a really good day/night, but it's usually around 2h-- I've suffered from PTSD, chronic depression and chronic insomnia since early 2000, so yeah... that doesn't help.

I usually sleep less than 6 hours or less during week days... It is too much work for little time available... :T
In weekends (without parties) I usually sleep what I didn't during week. :P
I can say that my sleep is always late, as much as my schedule to sleep.

Used to sleep 2-4 hours a day and then 12 hours one day a week, but I've been doing better and sleep 4-6 hours a day now.

8? 9? It depends, sometimes I get up early for a while, and sometimes I go to bed early for a while. These days, unless I have work, I go to bed at 3am, sometimes 4am, and wake up around eleven.

When I was younger, I slept 4.5 - 6 hours per night but since a surgery in my early 30's, I can no longer function well on less than 6 hours and function best only with 7.5 - 9 hours per night.

5.5-6.5 hours. Around 7-8 hours on when I don't work since there's no alarm (though I wish I'd just get up earlier on my own).

Wow, can't imagine getting 10 hours anymore. Work days are typically 4-5 hours, with weekends I can sometimes sleep in for about 6 hours before the kids wake me up. Once I lay down I'm out and sleep like the dead until I get up.
