How much sleep do you need?

[kenobi65]

For me I feel like I need at last 10 hours to feel rested. 15 hours for me to want to actually get out of bed.

Holy cow, Galeros, what are you, a marmot or something?

I need 6. Any less than that, and I'm just not functioning on all cylinders. 7 or 8 is even better.

I used to be famous for sleeping in massively on the weekends (10 hours or more, sleeping until noon or so). Now that I'm diabetic, my body won't let me do that -- by 8am, my stomach's roaring at me to eat.

Much more than I ever get...

In all honesty...I only need about 4. Sometimes even 3, if I sleep really well. Of course, I like to get 8-9 hours. That happens very, very rarely anymore, though.

need?

Generally I sleep 3-4 for a few nights then a whopping 6. Sucks to work 70 hour weeks and do family / kid stuff.

Sleep 8+ and I am fighting illness.

Sleep 12+ I am sick or just returned from a gaming convention.

Sleep 12+ and my back goes out.

3.5-5 hours. More than 5, and I'm useless the next day. Less than three, and I'm tired and grumpy.

How much sleep do yo uneed on average to feel rested?

I'll let you know if I ever wake up feeling rested. :\

 

[Dannyalcatraz]

Average nightly sleep I have gotten over 37 years @ 5.5 hours.

I'll go for months at 4, but prefer 6.

I prefer 8 hours of sleep, but often get 5 or 6 and function okay.

... A lot. I often wake up groggy. Most nights I get ~8 hours sleep (bed by 11 or so, get up at 7:30). Weekends it's closer to ~10 hours (12:00 pm to 10 am). I hardly nap in the afternoon, usually 15 minutes "power nap".

Am I the only one that wakes up with their limbs immobile ("asleep")? My right arm has fallen asleep almost every morning this week.

Well, last night I slept 14 hours. I normally do not need that much sleep. 8 hours is usually enough, though some days I feel content to just sleep an additional two hours.
