I get about 5-6 hours on the weekdays and 8-12 on the weekends. I know, I'm working on getting more sleep during the weekdays. :yawn: Hbu?

    As a college student, my sleep schedule, along with my work and class schedule, stays pretty consistent on week nights, 6-7 hours every night. On the weekends, well... I usually get more sleep, 9-11 hours, but lots of times I stay out and party until 5 am, with light beer and fruit if course... and sleep til like 2 or 3 the next day.

    Speaking of this, how important is regularity in sleep schedule for weight loss? Should we try to keep it consistent all 7 days?? My behavioral neuroscience professor says sleep is one of the most influential things to a body, all over! Weird!

    About 5-6 on worknights, generally crashing about midnight and up again judt after 0500.

    At weekends I'll get up about 0700, naturally, so a couple of extra hours.

    Occasionally my body will go through to 0900 naturally on a weekend which is a good indicator that I'm needing an easy day or two.

    Recently hardly any :( Not sure why .. I've even cut coffee down to 1 cup a day first thing in the morning to see if that helps.

    I work nights and sleep is very important for me. During my work week I get about 6-7. On my days off I'll get 8-9.

    Sleep deprivation has profound effect on human performance, one of the reasons that it's used extensively in military training. Reducing sleep puts the system under pressure, ramping up stress. It's also banned under the Geneva Conventions for the treatment of prisoners or subjects of detailed interviewing.

    About 7 each night, and I have afternoon naps at the weekend! I am constantly tired, and function best on 9-10 hours a night, but life doesn't let that happen!

    Average 6.5 during the week and 7 on weekends.
    Averaged 7.5 over the last two weeks and I've felt like a whole new man...too bad that ends when it's time to hit the office again.

    I'm a little obsessive about getting 8 hours per night. I usually get 7.5 at minimum, although rarely more than 8 during the work week.

    On Sunday mornings my husband and I both tend to sleep in, so I get anywhere from 8-12 hours on Saturday nights :-)

    I have generalized anxiety disorder and I notice drastically reduced problems with anxiety when I sleep 8 hours per night. I am also an extremely high-energy person and I think my sleep habits help me to remain that way (even at age 37, even when I weighed 300 lb, etc)

    At least 8, in the winter around 9. Sleep is not a luxury; it's a priority.
    Of course, I am pregnant and know this will change dramatically very soon. :)

    I'm neurotic about getting a solid 8 hours per night. Depriving myself of sleep would be a disservice to the hard work I do in the gym and the kitchen!
