    If I am lucky I can get 4 straight. I've been retired since 2009 so I guess it doesn't matter since I can take a nap any darn time I want to. woo hooo! sometimes I don't even go to sleep till the sun rises. This doesn't bother my workouts since I would be going to gym by 5:30 pm. and goodness no it doesnt affect my appetite

    Not enough. I go to bed at 9 and wake up at 4, but I typically don't fall asleep until 10, wake up multiple times throughout the night, and always wake up 10-15 minutes before my alarm clock goes off. I'd say I get about 5 hours of actual sleep on a good night.

    Appetite? I haven't noticed that it has any effect on my appetite. I'm always hungry no matter how many hours of sleep I get or what my calorie goal might be. My reality. Training/recovery? Detrimental. My workouts are fine, but they would be better if I got more sleep. I recently started having some joint pain, which I'm sure is caused by several factors, but lack of sleep is probably one of them. I'm not allowing my body to recover in the way it needs to. On weekends I sleep about 7 hours, so I don't even make up for it on my actual rest days.

    5 or 6 usually. when i get the low end of sleep it affects my attitude more than it affects my workout itself. I can't remember the last time i got over 8 hours of sleep. When i try to sleep more than 6, my body automatically wakes up

    Usually 7 hours or so. I tend to eat more sugary / fatty foods if I'm tired so I would like to get more.

    When I was working I only slept 3-4 hours a night and often not at all. I couldn't turn my brain off due to stress and I was overweight and very uncomfortable. Now that I'm retired I'm sleeping much better; 6-7hrs per night. Occasionally I'll even hit the 8 -8 1/2 hour mark. I had to take sleeping pills to function when I was working and it was getting pretty bad. Now no pills and sleeping naturally every night. I'm at a normal weight now and have much less stress so that's helped a great deal.

    I feel for everyone struggling from lack of sleep; it's the worst thing possible for your health.

    Some nights I will get nearly 10 hours, another will be closer to 6, but in actuality I'm a terrible sleeper.
    My 4 year old sleeps like a log and has since she was a tiny baby, yet I wake up several times each night. :D

    A lot... seriously. 8-10 most nights... occasionally once or twice a week I get little to no sleep though.
