    I used to get 8 - 8.5 and felt it was the minimum. I had to start getting up early which has shifted me to a steady 7 each night and I feel better for it. My sleep feels more efficient now and I wake up more rested.

    7 1/12-8 1/2

    Anything less than 7 and I have significant impairment. Loss of mental focus, irritability, depression and usually my stomach doesn't feel too good.

    On average, about 6-7... I can function better on less though! (Pulling all-nighters in college helped with that)

    7 full hours a night during the week and a full 8 on the weekends. I don't mess around when it comes to my sleep. I spent my ENTIRE 20s getting by on only 4-5 hours a night, and was proud of that. It's nothing to be proud of! Not getting enough sleep affected my health, both physical and mental. It affected the quality of my life.

    and come to find out, that lack of sleep did not make me any more productive. I am much happier and saner when I get enough rest. I think clearer, and I work better and faster. You think you are saving time or making extra time by not getting enough sleep, but trust me you are not.

    I hear you. I have three kids and two jobs, so on weekdays it's just impossible to fit any more sleep hours in. But hopefully soon I can adjust my schedule and get some more sleep on a regular basis. ;)

    I try to get between 8 - 9 hours of sleep a night. For some reason, the older I get, the more sleep I need! LOL

    7.5 on work nights, 9-12 on weekends.

    If I get less than 7.5 regularly, I don't function. Less than 6 in one night and I'm a wreck.

    Lately I've been sleeping 8 to 9 hours. I don't set the alarm clock most nights. I've had insomnia for years and I value a good night's sleep! I have had some bad nights too over the years. I feel like a dead person otherwise. I keep coffee to two cups only in the morning.

    During the school year, I usually try for 7. 8 means leaving things undone in the evenings, 6 means I'm reallllly dragging in the morning. It's not an ideal balance; during the summer I get a more natural sleep cycle cause I don't have to get up to get the kiddo to school, and then I usually get 8-9 hours a night. That's about the amount at which I feel well-rested when I wake up. Yay summer! come back soon... lol

    8-9 on average.

    One night a week I only get 5 hours but that is my choice to stay up to watch a show and get up early still.

    This is after 5 years of a kid who never slept thru the night and back then I survived on 4-5 hours.
