    I average about 4 hours....and I LOVE naps, but I don't get them very often.
    3-5 here.

    I will sleep when I die.

    I would like to get 7... but usually get 5/6. Got a BMF so I'm tracking it these days. I wake up frequently!

    I was getting 7 but my body was just dragging all week. Since Friday I have been getting 7.5-8 and feel so much better. Like I don't need the coffee, I just get to enjoy drinking it. :laugh:

    Most adults need 7-8 hours of sleep every night. If you're not getting that, here are a few simple tips:

    - Cut the caffeine in the afternoons. That includes soft drinks, energy drinks, coffee, tea, etc.
    - Turn off any electronic screens (TV, phone, tablet, etc.) one hour before bedtime.
    - Exercise, but not any later than two hours before bedtime.
    - Try to go to sleep and get up around the same time every day, including weekends. Taking extra-long naps or sleeping in on the weekends will throw off your clock.
    - Stick with it! Just like the other things we do to lose weight, getting on a regular sleep schedule takes discipline and patience.

    I get anywhere from 4-7 at night during the week but I'm a big napper. If I can, I will sneak in a 20 minute cat-nap somewhere. I usually get more on the weekends but that depends on who is awake when I'm trying to sleep or if I have a paper due for school.

    Actually I feel like I need 24+ hrs sleep. But I function best on 7. Oddly enough.

    I don't remember the last time I had 8 hrs of sleep. Let alone solid sleep. I usually get 4-5 hrs :/ Not good but can't be helped.

    Usually I get about 5-6 hours a night. But, if the alarm didn't go off, I could easily sleep for 10.

    Need 8, usually get 7-8. Altho not always blissful! I tend to roll around like a rotisserie chicken all night long.

    I need 8-9 which is really annoying.

    I usually get 7-8. And need lots of coffee.

    6-7 most nights, and I really don't need anymore. Although I have a 2 year old, so that can very.
