    9-10 hours feel amazing, but I can function on 6 for quite a while if I have good weekend sleep. I'm 29 and have always been this way.

    27 and it's probably like 23.5 hours. I never feel rested anymore, even with 9.5 hours.

    My goal is never less than 7, I usually get that plus a little on work nights. Perfect for me to be rested, energized AND LOSE WEIGHT, I need no less than 9. Yes lack of "your perfect sleep number" causes you to put on weight and make it extra difficult to drop the weight. On work days I work 12 hours shifts plus travel time.....just not enough hours in the day to pull 9 hours sleep on those days.

    I am 56 and have hypothyroid disease....which requires more sleep as well. Maybe if I could sleep like Rip Van Winkle for 7 years I would wake up healthy and skinny!!! Wouldn't that be nice!

    Ooo melatonin = creepy sleepy. Gives me the most effed up dreams.

    I'm really lucky if I get 5 hours.

    I am 48. I get into bed by 8:30pm most nights (cue the partying!!) and I am awake and ready to hit the gym at 5am. So, typically I get 8 hours a night, but if I can get more, I am happier :)

    7-8 hours is ideal but many days I do just fine on 6

    5-6 hours is perfect. Anymore and I feel groggy and 'off' the entire day.

    I'm 19, but diagnosed with insomnia so you might want to ignore my results, I can function well on 3-4 hours sleep :') although I prefer 6+

    I'm 66 and now sleep 7 to 7 1/2 hours, sometimes even 8. I suffered from insomnia for years often not sleeping more than 3 - 4 hours a night, sometimes not at all. Retirement, reducing stress, losing weight, and increasing physical activity are what helped me to resume normal sleep patterns. I finally feel fully rested.

    I'm 28 and I'd say about 7 hours, it depends on how hard I've trained and what I've ate etc. That's assuming I get uninterrupted sleep too
