How many hours of sleep do you get?

stormieweather · March 2011

I'm in bed from between 6 and 7 hours per night. But my FitBit says my deep sleep is only about 4 hours per night. The rest is very light, restless sleep.

Six-ish, never uninterrupted, though. My husband has sleep apnea and restless legs, and his snoring and fidgeting wake me up pretty often.

I work about 50 hours a week so I've just started sleeping whenever I feel like sleeping. I use to force myself to go to bed at 11 but then I just play on my phone for an hour. I use to force myself to stay awake some times to just to watch a tv show, but hey thats what DVR is for!! I get about 6 hours during the week, but sometimes I pass out in my chair after I get home from work for about an hour so. On the weekends it always early to bed on Friday and sleep for about 12 hours! If your body needs it, it will let you know. Don't ignore it, just go with it.

Unfortunately, I only get about 4.5 - 5.5 hours a night. 6 would feel like oversleeping at this point. I'd like to get more, but my natural circadian rhythm has me at 5/night on average. Even if I drink =T

6 week round. But I usually try for a nap on Saturday's and I almost always get a nap on Sundays after my long run. I've actually named it my "long run nap". I think it is the only way I survive since 6 is not enough for me, but it's really my only choice. :yawn:

7 to 8 hours

I try to get at least 4-5 hours but my sleep is split into two naps..I work overnight & I have things to do during the day..so I lay down & go to sleep for maybe 3 hours then I get up to do errands or other things that need to be taken care of..then at night I take a short hour sometimes 2 hr nap before I have to go to work...on my nights off I get 5-6 hours of sleep & sometimes I feel like I overslept ..I'm aware that in order to lose weight sleep plays a big factor on that but it's hard sometimes

I aim for 8 but usually get 6-7.

Since I can remember, it's taken me about 2 hours every night to fall asleep. I try to go to bed by 10:30, which means I might be asleep by 12:30 and get 6 hours of actual sleep. I've tried everything- breathing, meditation, relaxing sounds, natural herbs, and finally found that generic Ambien really works for me, but I limit it to two nights a week. Good luck!

I get about 7.5-8.5, but that's what I need to finction properly throughout the day. It has been shown that women who get an average of 8 hours of sleep per night have a lower percentage of body fat (I have not heard stats for men, sorry). So, I would suggest maybe upping yours a little during the week.
And a good way to determine how much sleep your body needs to be fully functional is to go to bed earlier than normal (allow for about 9 hours). Do this for a few weeks and your body will start waking you up when it does not need anymore sleep and you will know your "sleep number".
