I have been under a lot of stress lately and it has affected my sleep. I was getting upset when I didn't get 8 hours of sleep at night. After a few weeks of this, I realized that I hadn't been getting 8 hours of sleep for years, and I function just fine. Actually, I am fine with 7 hours and occasionally less. How much do you sleep, and do you think you get enough? FYI, I am 38.

I am 32 and I get an average of 6 hours per night. I'm fine with that. I'm an early riser, no matter what time I go to bed. I've never been one who can sleep past 7am. I usually get up on my own about 5:45am.

6-7 hours, generally.

34 here, and I sleep about 8 hours a night. I can do with less but seem to function alot better closer to 8. Too much sleep isn't great for me either it can just make me lazy all day.

I used to get 8 hours a night, but since my youngest was born and my wife's work hours changed I am now down to 6 a night whice is not ideal but enough to function on.

I know I need my 8 hours of sleep. During the week it's 7 so I make up for it on the weekend. I'm 44, going on 45.

I need at least 8 hrs if not more, sort of like Steph I catch up on the weekends. I'm 55

Generally around 6 1/2 hours.

7 hours minimally. Up to 9 sometimes. *BLISS*

Im getting 8 hours now, I was getting only 4 hours or less during school.

Between 7 and 8 hours a night. Anything less and I feel crappy all day.

Seven hours typically, but can function ok on as little as six for extended periods of time before crashing and burning. I agree with O Town about getting too much sleep. Anything over about eight hours, and I'm sluggist the next day. I'll be 46 in September.

I'm 17. I average 5-7 on weeknights and 7-12 on weekends.

I get 7-8 hrs of sleep on the weeknights, on the weekend nights I only get about 3-4 hours.

The ideal amount of sleep for me is 8 hours but 7 hours is fine and anything less I feel tired but can still function.

bout 7 on the weeknights...get up around 5:30 for work...and about 3 hours if I go to the clubs

45 going on 46, 2-3 hours a night, working 2 full time jobs no time to sleep

not much lately

These past 2 weeks I've been getting between 2 and 4 hours/per night. I'm working nights right now and I just can't sleep during the day.

I get between 4 and 5 hours while I'm in bed. More than that kills my back. However, thoughout the day I might have a couple of 10-15 minute catnaps. At 67 I don't need much sleep. In fact, If I start slleping a lot I know I have an illness coming on and don't fight the need.
