How much do you sleep? And is it enough?

Has any one ever considered how your sleep effects you? I did an article on this for my school newspaper and a lot of people liked it. I was wondering though does everyone sleep as poorly? In the research I did it said that the amount of sleep you SHOULD get is 9 to 10 hours daily..... Most of the people I interveiwed said around six hours.... I don't know, but I think it's starting to get to a point where people are getting stereotypical on young children and teenagers' sleeping habits. Not that I'm doing anything to stop it because I slept less than all of them. I sleep around five hours a night. So how long do you sleep?

This isn't for any project or anything, I just want to know if eveyone in the world is like this. I don't like to be stereotyped. (Even if it is true in my case).

I sleep a good 8-9 hours a day. I have good sleeping habits, you'll usually find me in bed by 10 or 11pm, usually around 10. A lot of people don't like this about me; they think it's childish and that I should be staying up later - however, if it gets me up early in the morning, I'm not complaining when they're struggling to wake up at NOON.

That is actually true.... I am struggling to wake up at noon. Of course I go to sleep at roughly 1 or 2 in the morning......

I have one up on you. I can get to bed at two and have enough sleep until the next time it is 2AM. I just pwn that much

So yeah, I average 4-5 hours a night. 5-6 on school nights.

During most semesters, probably around 7-8 hours a day. However, my January class this year starts at 12:30 PM, so I'm getting considerably more sleep (9+ hours). Although lately I've been having a bit of trouble sleeping. I try to go to bed at midnight, but my body's having trouble adjusting, since I regularly stayed up until 2 AM during holiday break.

In short, I do think I'm getting enough sleep currently, but that doesn't stop me from feeling tired in the morning...

I get around 7-9 hours of sleep most of the time. I think that's about enough sleep for me. I wouldn't be able to sleep for like 10 hours straight though. I feel all groggy if I sleep for too long. I'll fall asleep at around 11:00 PM - 12:00 AM on school nights and wake up between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM. On weekends, I'll fall asleep at some random time that is between 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM, and I'll wake up some time between 7:00 AM and 11:00 AM. =P

Sleep... hmmm...

I go to sleep at... 2:38 - 4:59
Me wakes at well... 7:13 - 8:52

so i get about 5 hours usually, I need to get more sleeppppppppppppppp...

On weeknights I go to bed around 11:30 and on weekends I usually go to bed around 2-3:30 am. This leaves me pretty tired during the week, but nothing I can't handle. But on weekends I am one of those people who sleep until 12 in the afternoon. I might sleep my life away, but it is worth it.

4:20 and I'm already tired. My mom won't let me go to sleep, either. This thread really helps. doesn't it? :mad: Well, I just got back from India, so jet lag is an inevitability. I usually sleep 7-9 hours a day.

I get around... 7 or 8 hours. I have heard somewhere that 7 hours is enough.
Normally on a work night Im in bed for 11:30pm, And have to have get up at about 8am.
So thats about 9hours in bed and 8 hours sleep =P

Let see, I stay up till 11 and wake up at...6:30. I do need more sleep, but I'm fine.

wanna hear something funny? i sleep nine hours everynight, and i'm still tired. i slept for 12 hours one day last week, and when i woke up, i looked like i haven't slept in a week, so i've gone to the doctor for that, and i have to go again tomorrow... but i'm just tired all the time, and my mom has more energy then i do. it's really sad.

I usually get around five or six hours of sleep, depending on what time I actually fall asleep. But then again, I only really need about four hours of sleep to make it through the day without getting tired. Yeah, I'm weird. Get over it.

Sleep?! Sleep?! What IS that?!

I get about 2-0 hours of sleep, mainly because I have insomnia and I'm an insomniac. But strangely enough, I'm never tired (Although I DO wake up at noon so...)

On wekends i go to sleep at around 2 and wake up around 1. on school days i go to bed at 10-10:30.

Schooldays, I usually go to bed at around 10:30 and wake up at 6. Weekends, I'd say 11:00 to 8:00. 7-8 hours. I'd say that's enough, and it actually helps me if I go a little late. I'm more energized when I go late. I dunno why...

It depends. If I have something occupying like a GBA game, a book, or a CD, I don't get to sleep until past midnight. If I have a really entertaining GBA game, sometimes I'll get to sleep at 5:00 AM, just in time to get an hour of sleep before getting up for school.
Other times, I get to bed around 10:00. So, I get 8 - 1 hours of sleep a night, and it's never enough. I'm always sleepy, so I sleep in my really boring classes at school, where no one will notice me because they're all terminally bored too.
