How many hours of sleep do you get?

I aim for 8 but usually get 6-7.

Since I can remember, it's taken me about 2 hours every night to fall asleep. I try to go to bed by 10:30, which means I might be asleep by 12:30 and get 6 hours of actual sleep. I've tried everything- breathing, meditation, relaxing sounds, natural herbs, and finally found that generic Ambien really works for me, but I limit it to two nights a week. Good luck!

I get about 7.5-8.5, but that's what I need to finction properly throughout the day. It has been shown that women who get an average of 8 hours of sleep per night have a lower percentage of body fat (I have not heard stats for men, sorry). So, I would suggest maybe upping yours a little during the week.
And a good way to determine how much sleep your body needs to be fully functional is to go to bed earlier than normal (allow for about 9 hours). Do this for a few weeks and your body will start waking you up when it does not need anymore sleep and you will know your "sleep number".

I get about 7 hrs on a weeknight and about 8-12 hrs on the weekend depending on what I've got planned.

Around 6.5-7 hrs each night. It might be more if I didn't have to get up early to exercise before work some days!

I am the same way and I also have found that ambien is the only thing that works for me but I dont take it regularly either. It always takes me 2-3 hours to fall asleep. Ive tried melatonin and sleep md and different herbs and techniques. Ive also tried several prescription meds too but Ambien is the only thing that works. I sometimes sleepwalk and have done other things on it so I take half at a time and it works much better for me.

Hmm... I usually go to bed around 9:30 or 10:30 and get up at 6:30. That should be 8-9 hours, but I can spend anywhere from an hour to three hours trying to fall asleep. So, I don't actually know. On Saturday I usually sleep in until 9-ish.
