I don't except for the weekends. On school days sadly I mostly get 6 hrs in. But i'm starting to try to get 8 hrs in.

I only get about 6-7 hours on school days.

I try to get in at least 7 hours a night during the work week.

For years and years I've had problems with insomia. If I get 5 hrs I consider myself lucky. I may bring this up next time I go to the doctor. It's not fun. :(

I'm a mental mess on under seven hours of sleep, and eight is the best. I sleep pretty good at night. I rarely have a problem falling asleep, but sometimes I wake up too early and can't fall back to sleep. I hate when that happens, especially if I have a full day planned.

Sometimes it can take me ages to fall asleep. One night last week, I didn't get to sleep until about 4:30 a.m. (Although I had a cold, which didn't make things worse.)

Other times, I'm asleep within half an hour. I probably don't get enough sleep on weekdays, but I do on weekends. Sometimes on weekdays, I only get 5-6 hours' sleep.

For people who consistently can't get enoug sleep and asa result are excessively sleepy during the day, there's a relatively new drug called Provigil (modafinil) that can keep you alert and active with minimal sleep. (www.provigil.com (http://www.provigil.com))

As for me, with my sleep disorder (how I know about such things as Provigil), I need at least 10 hours a day to be reasonably coherant.

I usually get about 5 hours. I'm fortunate that I can function reasonably well without alot of sleep.

I definitely don't get enough sleep and sometimes I feel it taking its toll on my body. I usually get about 6 hours on weekdays, which definitely isn't enough (I need about 8-9 hours to function normally).

Weekends are a little bit better since I can sleep in :)

What is sleep?

I'm a mental mess on under seven hours of sleep, and eight is the best. I sleep pretty good at night. I rarely have a problem falling asleep, but sometimes I wake up too early and can't fall back to sleep. I hate when that happens, especially if I have a full day planned.
Again, we have something in common. I was going to make a thread abt this very subject. I couldn't get to sleep the other night and was thinking of topics for S.O.

It never fails, when I wake up in the middle of the night, it takes me forever to go back to sleep. I have to take Benadryl to help me fall asleep for the night. Then, if I have to get up to go to the bathroom or get something to drink, I am screwed. I will be ALERT! I will either take some more Benadryl and go to bed or go to the couch and watch television.

Funny, I wake up in the middle of the night and I am ALERT, YET!!!! when I need to get up early for some reason, I am so damn tired and can't wake up with that same alertness. That pisses me off.

I require 10-12 hours a night, so no way. I average 5-6 a night during the week.

I get about 5 hrs of sleep a night, mainly because I'm working or doing laundry. The other night my little girl woke up in the middle of the night because she wanted me to read her a book. If it’s not a book it because she wants to go potty, or she wants juice.

I have sleep apnea so a good night's sleep is a rarity for me. I can sleep 8 hours or more but I always feel like I haven't had a wink after waking up.

I get about seven hours of sleep on weekdays... school and stuff. Sometimes less than that too, but on weekends I get a lot. :)

When you have two kids under the age of five, there is no such thing as enough sleep...:lol:

Besides, I've hadn't had a decent nigh of sleep in almost 20 years, i've tried, but sometimes even I, almost 30, would act like my three year old. Scared.

Sleep is a big deal to me. I get very cranky on less than 8 hours.
