    In order to fit everything in I get between 4 - 5 hours a night. I've always survived on little sleep though I am feeling it (and seeing it - huge bags under eyes) more in recent years...

    Weekends I tend to get more because if I don't set the alarm and no-one wakes me up I sleep sleep sleep... my body catching up I guess.

    However, in recent weekends I have gotten up early and felt MUCH better for having the whole day rather than wasting half of it by sleeping in.

    Work days I get about 7.5 average -- otherwise I die waking up at 4AM and working a 12-hour shift.

    Weekends I sleep more like 10 hours, but still wake up fairly early.

    I try to get 9 hours a night; if I do, I function at my optimum level.

    Typically, I get 6-7 hours of sleep per night.

    According to the National Sleep Foundation, there is no "magic number." Not only do different age groups need different amounts of sleep, but sleep needs are also individual. Just like any other characteristics you are born with, the amount of sleep you need to function best may be different for you than for someone who is of the same age and gender. While you may be at your absolute best sleeping seven hours a night, someone else may clearly need nine hours to have a happy, productive life.

    All I know is if I get any less than 6 I am one grumpy butt the next day!!!

    On weekdays, it's about 5-6 hours as I usually get up early to workout. 6-7 on rest days and weekends.

    I would get about 8 hours a night, but I always wake up in the middle of the night, and then have trouble going back to sleep. It's very frustrating.

    Me too.As a Mom I sleep "with one ear open" So I hear everything.

    Plus,I tend to review my workday which just stresses me or forces me to get up before I forget whatever idea strikes me in the middle of the night.

    I need 8 hours of sleep, which somehow I am able to get even while at university. It's marvelous.

    5-6 hours, but not straight. My baby is still not sleeping through the night so I am usually up once or twice a night with her. I try to take a nap in the afternoon, but that doesn't always happen. Someday I will get 7-8 hours straight a night!

    Anywhere from 4-6 hours on most days. I have mild narcolepsy so I never get a full, rested nights sleep.

    During the week, 8 hours. On the weekend, as much as possible.

    Weekdays I'm lucky to log 7 hours. I would LOVE to get 8-9 one day on the weekends, but that hasn't happened in YEARS. . .thank you kiddos. What's worse, is i haven't SLEPT for 7 straight hours in, literally, years. I wake up usually 3 or 4 times a night. I think 7 straight hours would be GLORIOUS at this point in my life!!

    Usually around 7h during the week and a bit more, maybe around 8 during the weekend. Over the past decade I used to regularly stay up all night to study or work or even watch movies. I can't do that any more though, I can feel my body can't handle it any more. Even with the 7-8 hours of sleep it often doesn't feel enough.

    Never, ever enough. I should get the amount of sleep which would make me wake up not crabby, eager to clean the house wash the dishes and suck my hubby's rooster 3 times in a row in a handstand position the whole time. Unfortunately I have yet to figure out how many hours that would be. I have a feeling it would be 3 days straight during a full moon.

    Not nearly enough 3-5 maybe 6 on the weekends. I feel like I take long naps instead of getting a restful nights sleep.

    Usually 7-8 on weekdays; 8-10 is the best for me though! But that only happens on the weekends or if I take a tap :)
