    Less then 6 hrs during the week and maybe if my internal alarm doesn't wake me up 6.5 on the weekends. Coffee is my friend. My best friend.
    What he ^^ said...I dnt sleep well, I go to bed early - like 9pm sometimes earlier and I still only get a few hours bc I wake up between 6-20 times a night! Yuck! I would so love a solid 5-7 hours!

    What you said Jess! I'd go to bed about 10 and wake up 3-4 times for anywhere from 20 minutes to 3 hours at a time. Then my alarm would go off at 5:30. I had be be put on sedatives (as i also had injuries that weren't healing as a consequence) and now I get 5 1/2 hours continuous sleep. By the weekend, I'm destroyed and (w/sedatives) can get up to 10 hours.

    Not the best!

    generally need 8. usually get 6. catch up on weekends.

    now that summer's around the corner and there's more light i will need less sleep. 5-6 might do for a while.

    That's a big thing for me, too! I heal sooo slowly because of my horrible sleeping. Going to go pick up my refill for my sleeping meds today, haha. (I take muscle relaxers to sleep)

    Usually between 7-8 however I do wake up a few times it's rare that I'll sleep a full night.
    If I do not get enough sleep during the week I can feel it and on weekends I can go 10-12hrs straight to recoup!

    It's gotten better over the years but I also tend to think a lot....I use to wake up in the middle of the night fully awake thinking of a problem at work that I was resolving in my sleep! Trying to fall back asleep after that was torture thankfully this seems to only happen a couple times a year now.

    Damn, I wish I was this disciplined... I go to bed between 12:00 and 1:00 Am and wake up between 5:00 and 6:00. Get to work at around 7:00 and hit the gym afterwards at around 5

    I have a 4 year old so sleep on her schedule. If she is healthy, then I get a good night's rest (usually 6-8 hours). If not, then 3-4 up and down all night.

    6-7 during the week. I try to get to bed by 10pm so it depends whether I work out with my trainer in the AM or not.

    Weekends I try to get a solid eight but that requires filling the kids with pizza and movies on Friday nights so they will let me sleep until 7:30am!

    We have another baby on the way in a few weeks so forget everything I said starting next month.

    I usually get about 7-8 hours a night.

    A study I read says to check to see how much sleep your body needs is if you are on vacation for a week just wake up whenever your body is rested. Usually the first few days you will sleep long (like your 14 hours) until your body catches up but on days 6 and 7 you will wake up when your body is rested. That can range from 6 to 10 hours depending on the person and then you know how much sleep you need for your body.

    Not enough,5-6 hours.

    I am perpetually exhausted.

    ^^ This. I could get more but then I would have no time for my morning workouts.

    BTW 14 hours of sleep on weekend makes sense as the body can "catch up" on lost sleep.

    Later - off to get some more coffee and get back to working.

    7 hrs 15 mins is what I need according to my body's sleep patterns. As in no matter what time I go to bed and whether or not I have to get up the next morning, this is how much sleep I am allowed by my body. During the week though I average between 5 and 6.
