How much sleep do you get?

I generally manage to be in bed around 7 hours. I have so many aches and pains that I wake up and toss a lot. The last week or so I have been taking a couple of ibuprofen about 30 min before bed and I am finding that my quality of sleep is better. I do not know how anyone makes it on 3-4 hours of sleep a night. I would fall asleep at work
Not to sound like a commercial, but I used to toss and turn ALL night long - drove my hubby crazy. We had a crappy old spring mattress when we first got married. Got a Tempurpedic bed and almost immediately my sleep improved like you wouldn't believe. I didn't even realize how badly I was sleeping until I actually was able to sleep through the night (or mostly - still have to get up to pee sometimes). Now I no longer ache in the morning from pressure points, and I don't wake up every time he moves or comes to bed.
Just a thought. It made a huge difference for us.0 -
When I was younger I could go without any sleep and go to work and school the next day. Now working double shifts and training is taking a toll on me.
I envy those getting 6 or more hours of sleep per night. I often wonder how much greater my training results would be if I slept more.0 -
I read somewhere that we need 6-10 hours of uninterrupted sleep to refuel so I stopped drinking water after 9 pm so I wouldn't have to use the bathroom during the night and it helps! I try to go to bed around the same time every night and I end up waking up the same time in the morning feeling refreshed for the most part - sometimes a half hour before my alarm! I'm super busy (2 jobs, school, workouts, other school activities, etc.) and I know that skipping sleep will only make things worse so that's something I take seriously.0

Big ditto to this! I'm almost always in bed by 10pm and I need a full 7-8 hours to function well. 6.5 or less and I need a nap during the day!!!0 -

I'm usually in bed by 10pm at the latest, but I won't fall asleep right away.0 -

Sheila, I actually have a Sleep Number bed and pillows. It is much better than a regular box springs and mattress. Just think age and Uncle Arthur is causing issues. Doesn't help when the SO snores! :-)0 -
I aim for 8 hours but normally end up with about 6 as we have four kids and the youngest still wont sleep a full night in her bed.0

Usually I try within 7.5-8 on weekdays and 11-12 on weekends. Yesterday I slept 13. I go hard all week. When I'm insomniac, I get maybe 2 hours:noway:0

I actually have no idea. It varies some with my hormone levels, I've noticed. Yesterday (Sat.) I slept 8 hours, but I had previously been awake since 12pm the previous Friday. I think 5-6? I don't sleep every night (or always at night) so really idk. My sleep is generally uninterrupted though.0

I usually get about 7-8 hours of sleep, but lately I've been waking up at around 2-3am because of the sun shining in.. oh, how I'm looking forward to the midnight sun.0

I was reallly good at one point and was getting a good 8 hours of sleep a night.. now it is around 5-6 and I find myself waking up a few times which sucks! I too am starting to feel it in training0

I'm typically in bed from 10pm to 4:30am on weeknights, how much sleep I get varies wildly, as I almost always get up at least once during the night and for the past month it's been 4-5 times a night.
On weekends I usually get to bed between 12am and 2am, and if I am lucky my dog won't wake me up until 6:15am, and after taking her out I go back to bed to 8-8:30am.0
