    Question How much sleep do you need?

    Alright all ,

    One of my New Years resolutions is to make sure I get a bit more sleep throughout the week, Im shit at making myself go to bed and as a result I am usually knackered at work. Usually 8 hours is perfect for me but I rarely get this, just wondered how much everyone else needs to function properly the next day ?

    "I need about 8 hours a day. And 10 at night."

    But i tend to get by on about 6 hours

    Through the winter I normally function on about 3 - 4 hours. tonight/this morning's an exception though, as I've been up since 7 yesterday and having worked all day and through the night, I'm just going to bed now, to be up again in...90 minutes time

    Between 4 and 5 hours does fine when i'm working day shifts. Sleeping by 00:00 - 01:00, up 5ish. Nightshifts and days off are different and i sleep longer, probably never really more than 8 hours or so though.

    Mine doesn't seem to be the amount I need, more the time I have to get up. 7/8 is good but I could manage on 5 if I was getting up at 9am, but only 5 if getting up at 6am leaves me fucked.

    Would like 10-12, but was finding most weeks I would get more like 3-4 hrs per weeknight which was always followed up by spending a good 12-14 hours in bed each night on weekends.

    While I've been on holiday it's been more like 12 hrs a day, just getting used to waking up earlier now

    I get by on 6 hours but usually have between 7-8 which suits me fine and at weekends about 9-10 if I'm lucky and the kids listen to "mum and dad are having a lie in so don't come in!"

    bloody hell how do you people operate on less than 5hours sleep. I get worried that i'm not going to get enough sleep if its less than 6. Normally I can get on okay with about 6-8 on a week night. Last night was in bed for 1am but took me a while to fall asleep so probably more like 2am and then up at 8am. I feel pretty tired today!
