Of sleeping??


I average between 5 and 7. 5 on nights I have my kids, 7 on nights I do not.


12 hours of sleep and I'm tap dancing all day!!

    7 or 8 usually. Asleep pretty much as soon as my head hits the pillow, and wide awake as soon as I wake.

    During the week, usually 7 hours. If I'm having insomnia, usually around 4 hours.
    On the weekends, I get between 10-12 hours....and it's AHHHHHHHHHmazing!

    I don't generally sleep well so between 4-6 if I'm lucky. Yes, I pay for it later when I eventually crash, but I also nap sometimes too.

    8-9. I used to need at least 10 when I was a teenager so it's decreased a bit.

    7 during the work week, a little longer on weekends. I'm no good without at least 6 hours.

    I average about 7 but I could probably do with 8.
    I'm an early morning person & should be going to bed earlier at night :ohwell:

    If I don't get 9 hours, I'm a total b*tch. Unfortunately, I usually average about 8.

    Lately... I would say about 7-10 hours. Especially now that I am working out, I am sleeping better and longer. It's hard though, cause... I love staying up late... But I love getting up early! *sigh**

    5 or 6 during the week, if I'm lucky. Weekends, sometimes a little more.

    I get like 7.5 hours a night. I'm in bed at 11 and up at 7AM M-F then the same bed time or midnight on the weekend and up at 8-8:30AM. I don't remember the last time I slept in past 10. :P Works great for me. I just need coffee.

    I have gotten by on less than 6 for years, but then again I need this site. Since I started working out more, it is easier to go to bed earlier (even with three children 7, 5, and 1.) I find that I am in a better mood at work and have fewer temptations with comfort food when I get 8 hours.

    Maybe 6 if Im lucky but not in a row, my little one is still breastfeeding at 14 months so she is up every 2 hours to eat. Its exhausting and has been for the last 14 months!

    Maybe 3 to 4, if I'm lucky. Wish I could sleep; nighttimes are miserable! I'm so tired but I just cannot sleep. Last night I took 6 Benedryl and slept one hour, was up for 3, then back to sleep for 4 hours. About 5 hours is amazing!

    Not enough at the moment. I think I'm drinking too much iced tea during the day. :ohwell:

    I try pretty hard to get 8, but it's usually 6-7.

    Lately I've been tryin to get to bed by 11 or 12, get up at a decent hour, workout and head to work at night.

    4 or less if I'm out on the weekend and work mornings the next day.

    Sometimes you gotta get a little naughty.

    About 5 or 5.5 hours a night.... I pay for it but working long days, playing sports, and getting up to workout doesnt help
