Default How much sleep do you need?

How much sleep do you personally need so that you function alright and don't feel all tired and sluggish?

Most nights I only sleep for about 4/5 hours and I feel fine with that, sometimes I do go for a little sleep after dinner though.

9 hours is ideal but I could scrape by on 8, anything less than that and I feel wrong all day

I don't think I've had a sleep that's left me feeling great for a long while. I either go to bed way too late and get up early leaving me knackered or go to bed early, get up late and feel crap. I can't win. Really need to sort my sleeping pattern out this summer.

Normally at least 6 hours, preferably 8 or 9, can be alright after only about 4 hours but normally end up nodding off later in the day

Erm, I can function on a few hours (or none sometimes ) but I tend to be really grumpy when I do that. About 8 hours sorts me out properly...but I need about 10 hours to feel totally refreshed

I nearly did today, went to bed at midnight and got up around 12-ish properly.

I also like to set my alarm for an hour or so before I have to be up, and snooze it for the entire hour. The dreams I get inbetween alarms are so vivid and I always remember them. Can usually control what goes on in them too, where thats really hard to do during normal sleep

I hate that semi-sleep just before you wake up, stresses me out I don't know why. Just the fading in an out of sleep makes me feel exhausted.

9/8 hours is the ideal amount. I can function on 6/7 hours sleep though, but I yawn a lot when I have to do that.

Hardly ever get any. I'm always on the internet, doing work or some other shizz. I do binge sleep the weekends, though. Made an 'abit of it.

School nights I usually get about 4 hours in but nap in the afternoon when I get home for anywhere between 1-4 hours.

Weekends I sleep in until about 1pm usually and get 7-9 hours.
