I normally sleep around 6 hours.
---

I'm sad to say yes.

I go to bed around 2:30
---

I, too, have just listened to that podcast.
---

I usually get seven and a half hours a night.
---

Usually 4-6. Travel a lot for work and the job is extremely demanding.

you don't have problems with this small amount?

I have a 2 year old, unless I go to bed fairly early I won't get 8 hours. She has me awake by 7am every morning.
---

I'll get 6 if I'm lucky. Sleep problems.

It's better since I replaced my bed with a memory foam one, but I can still expect to lie there for an hour minimum before crashing - used to be closer to two guaranteed. Some nights I'll end getting less. Couple years ago I was routinely getting zero thanks to a ton of stress I was dealing with. :D

I've gotten use to it and make it a point to eat healthy and workout which goes a long way towards recovering energy quickly. Moneys also a good incentive.

7 Is a luxury but typically I sleep 5 1/2 to 6 1/2. I also have maintenance insomnia so if I wake up Im almost always fucked about going back to sleep.

Nope, I'm often in bed for longer than that when I can get away with it but it takes me an eternity to fall asleep, and if anything wakes me up (which happens very easily) it takes a long time to get back to sleep. I probably get average around 5 hours, broken up into multiple parts. Hard to tell for sure since I don't keep an alarm clock in sight anymore after watching the minutes tick along for hours on end got to be too depressing for me.

Less than 4 per day

on average about 7. i can fill the void with a nap if i'm feeling tired in the afternoon though i hate to do that sure does recharge me.

Oh God I wish

Oh God I wish

i wish that soda was on sale :(. maybe tuesday i'll have better luck
---

I get around 7.
---

6 or less for me every day.
---

Yes, I get the full eight. I am an early bird, meaning I am in bed by around 10pm, sometimes 11pm. It allows me to get up early for work and still get my required sleep.

What's amazing is I even managed this with the three kids I fostered for a while. They were surprisingly good at staying asleep all night.
---

Nah, 8 hours is too much

I get like 5 to 7

If I sleep more than that I just stay up later, which gives me less sleep for the next day

And I've never been more productive on 8 hours of sleep. If anything I'm lazier because my mind is clear and I start day dreaming instead of working
---

I avg 4 to 6. Anything more or less tends to suck.
---

Almost always 8 or more for a long time now.
---

I think i average closer to 10 hours... but im not normal...
---

On the weekends. On weekdays... it's really bad and I really need to fix it.
---

Between 6 and 7

5-7 hour sleep at night, 1-2 hours nap in the afternoon. so yes, i think?
---

I used to but more recently I haven't been able to sleep more than 6
