    Really depends, i have heard that you need to get 6-8 hours to be able to lose the most weight (stress=bad). i get anywhere between 4-6 hours most nights. I should probably get more but work kids ect.

    I try to sleep as much as I can. The moment I feel a bit tired I take a nap -I only get up when I wake up myself. I only have a few days a week that I have to get up before the time that I usually wake up myself. I always wake up at the same time +/- 7 minutes. But taking naps whenever I feel a bit tired is something I just started recently since I had trouble falling asleep at night ever since I started doing Turbofire.

    Not enough. I usually get around 6-7 hours. I'd be much happier w/8-10. I am ALWAYS so very tired.

    Minimum 7 hours compulsorily and maximum of 8 hours. :)

    If I sleep less then 7 hours any day then I feel restless the next day. :

    During the winter, I need a solid 9-10 hours but due to bouts of insomnia, I'm lucky if I get half that.

    I work the overnight shift so I don't get enough. I sleep about 2 1/2 to 3 hours in the morning and then I get another 1 1/2 hours before I go to work. Weekends are much better, I get 5-6 a night. I know these hours make it difficult to exercise and sometimes I am literally too tired to cook any decent meals.

    It's not always the amount, but the quality of the sleep that you get. As we get older we usually don't need as much as we did when younger.

    I don't sleep well/right -- I can sleep anywhere from 3-4 hours up to 13 hours, depending on whats going on. And am always tired because of the fact I don't have a good sleeping schedule. :ohwell:

    Really depends on the night. This weekend I've been leaving the alarm off, and getting ~7-8 hours, so that must be somewhere around what I need (complicated by the fact that I wake up as soon as it's sunny out). I usually try to be in bed around 11 (for sure by midnight), and get up around 7.

    I have no sleep schedule... sometimes I pull all-nighters (typical of student life), and the next day I'll sleep for 17 hours straight. On the off-chance I do get a regular night's sleep, I find my body wakes up naturally after around 9 or 10 hours.

    as long as I'm not needing to take anything to help me get to sleep (i fall into cycles of insomnia, especially up here in AK and we are in our dark months with not as much light), then i'll wake up naturally refreshed after about 7-8 hours (I almost always sleep very sound and deeply, often dreaming).

    I also find that if I do at least 10 minutes of relaxing yoga, mostly involving breathing techniques, it helps to calm me down and get to sleep faster and sleep better. If I don't do yoga for a while at night, I start having more insomnia issues.
