I know sleep helps with weight loss so how much shut eye do you get? I have bouts of insomnia so sometimes I get only a few hours.. but I have been slowly changing my bedtime earlier.. average now is about 6.5 hours.

    I have really bad insomnia as well, try taking melitonin. On a good night I get 6.5 hours and on a bad night about 2 hours.
    But fridays is my day to make it all up(I'm off work then) and I get around 9 or 10 hours, it helps me gt throught the rest o f the week knowing I'll get a good nights sleep at lest one night!

    They say you should get at least 8 hours a night. But most people dont get that much.
    You are working at getting more so thats good. Keep trying.

    Probably 7 on a good night. And yes it is important to your overall wellbeing!

    Between 6 and 8, depends. Frequently interupted, have hubby with sleep issues that roams the house at night and a cat that sometimes just wants to purr in my ear. LoL

    I usually get 6 to 7 hours, but am trying to get more. I've started going to bed earlier.

    6.5-8 depending on how much my husband's snoring wakes me up or how often one of my kids end up in my room.

    I am learning the art of sleep thanks to my boyfriend who is an expert at it. I now get anywhere between 7 and 9 hours a night, whereas i used to get 6-7 before. I find if I have had enough sleep I am much less hungry in the day. Last night i giot less than 7 and have been STARVING all day. Sleep: I can't believe I underrated it so badly!

    Anywhere from 7-9, during the week, though usually over 8 at least. Of course I have no kids and no pets and a job that doesn't start super early. But I worry that I get too much sleep, since I never feel particularly energized, no matter how healthy my diet is and how much exercise I get. Actually seeing the doctor about it today.

    Can you be tired from too much sleep?

    I need 9 to feel good and alert all day. And I am generally in bed for that long each night. Lack of sleep is a big trigger for me. I soothe with food when I sleep deprived. but, since my daughter has not slept through the night in about 3 months, now (and I am easily awakened and prone to insomnia bouts also), I probably get around 6.5 highly interrupted hours of sleep every night.

    Usually a good night is about 5.5 hours (11pm-5:30am) but I have children and a dog and mild insomnia so it is usually less that that most nights. On weekends I might get 7 hours because I don't have to get the kids up for school so early :tongue:

    8 most every night, and still sleep 10-12 hours on the weekend!
