    7-8. What makes me feel most rested is waking up naturally (without alarm clock or being woken up) and that only happens when I keep a tight schedule, waking up at the same time for a few months in a row.

    Not enough, but 50% more than three months ago, so I'm not complaining.

    Mostly about 6 hours. I feel best on 7 to 8 hours but I can function easily on 6. Any less than 5 hours for a few days in a row and I get a little cranky.

    Not enough. I always plan to go to bed early but it never works out that way. I usually get 5 hours.

    I have my little contigo travel mug that I drink on my commute...that's generally it for me.

    nutritional actually goes a long way here...IMO, much more than the caffeine band aid.

    6-7 hours on a good night. But I would love 8-9 as I feel more rested.
    I don't know how some of you function on less than 5...I would be very cranky!

    Last night 5.5. Not enough. Usually more. I'd really like more right now.

    Not enough by a long shot.. The last week I've averaged 3 hours of sleep a night... (Last night was 1 and a 1/2 though) Starting to feel the effects. Normally I average around 4-5... Which isn't much better.

    I average around 4, but I try to get 5-6 hrs in. I hate sleep.

    I work the nightshift, so I'm lucky to get about 5-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

    Typically 6-7 hours, any more and I feel groggy. I also wake a lot in the night though.

    That said, I'm sleeping a lot more right now (more like 8-10 hours) - it's been a stressful few months, which has left me pretty much constantly tired!

    5 to 6 hours. I'm a light sleeper so I do not actually hit that REM sleep.

    Usually a doubleshot in the morning and then a few cups of green tea during the day. I'll only have another if I'm reaaaally struggling. I used to drink way to much coffee and I don't want to go back there!

    I actually don't drink coffee - I just don't need very much sleep
