Board 8 > Do you usually get more or less than the recommended 8 hrs of sleep a night?

(+) Yeah! (+)

do you

Like 6-7 with the last hour typically being alarm sleep because I lie to myself about how early I can get up

Isn't 8 higher than the recommended adult amount?

I tend to get around 7-7.5 and I think that is on the high end of people I talk to

Who in their right mind has enough time to get MORE than 8 hours of sleep usually?

health hasn't allowed me to get more than 7 hrs asleep.

I usually get 3-6, tops.

6-7 most nights. Then I just have those days where I go to sleep like 3 hours early because I'm so worn out.

Yeah, 7 hours is the recommendation for adults now. And that's about what I get.

The recommended amount is 7-9.

A lot less. I range from 4-6 and call it an early day on Friday and sleep for about 12 hours then nap on Sat afternoon for about 3 as well.

Around 8

I'm in bed by 11, asleep (hopefully) by 11:30, then I wake up around 7:45.

What kills me is I usually wake up somewhere between 4 and 7. Getting back to sleep is a bitch.

If I get more than 5 hours I consider myself lucky

I get about 6-7, even on the weekends. I usually don't need my alarm.

I average around 8.

I'm pretty consistently in the 7 to 8 range (Usually closer to 7 than 8), and if I get less than that I can usually really feel it the next day.

Usually 6.5 - 7

used to be 5-6

trending now into the 4-5 range these days and maybe a nap once or twice a week depending on my schedule

Less. A lot less. Largely because I struggle to sleep for more than 1-2 hours at a time so I wake up 3-4 times a night on a good night.

Sleep apnea? If it is, I strongly urge you to get a CPAP device. It's made a night and day difference in my life.

Usually around 7.5 hours. I try to get 8 but it's tough. Less than 7 and I'm tired all day.

9 to 12 for me.

Around 6. Spend too much time on my phone at night

4-5 usually. Maybe 7-8 hours once a week.

varies like im up now when im usually sleeping

I get 7 typically.

Have a 5 month old and she has been keeping me from that the past 5 months or so.

Between work, wife, social committments and my 2 kids, basically the only time of day I have to myself to unwind is after midnight, meaning its after 2am usually before I'm ready for bed, and then kids wake us up between 7:30 and 8, so I probably average around 5 hours a night.

Usually around 7. But if I don't set an alarm, I average 10 or more. My sister and I are the exact same in this way. Our bodies just seem to sleep forever if allowed.

3-5 on a weekday. 4-8 on weekends. If I am lucky.

I feel like it's usually less, but then I'll also have 10-12 hour sessions if allowed and I'm feeling deprived, which I usually will if I only get 5-6 hours for several days in a row. So maybe that evens out to an average 8 or 9

Noooooooooooo.

On weekends maybe. Weekdays I have to get up at around 5:45 and just don't respect that at all, so routinely go to bed after 1am. It's dumb as fuck.

But even on the rare good night, I'm never in bed before 11. If I went at 10 with the intention of getting the full 8 hours (or near enough) then I would just wake up at 2 or 3am anyway.

Can't remember the last time I got 8, but I do usually get 6-7

Usually around 7.
