I'm peachy with 7 or 8 hours. If I sleep 9, I wake up feeling tired. If I sleep 10+ (rare) I usually wake up with a nasty headache.

I need about 8-9 hours, and if I go 2 sleep after midnight then I feel kind of tired.

I can live on about 4 hours of sleep. I can of course sleep more than that, but it doesn't happen very often, except on some occasional weekends. Although I can live on a short amount of sleep, it contributes to my never-ending headache that is made up of stress, tension, and everything else possible

Between 8-10 hours...any less and I'm all blah. I never sleep anymore than that, though.

6 at the most. Its weird, if I go to bed early(like 12) I sleep really late the next day. If i go to bed later(like 2am), i'll be up at 8am. Weird.

I can never get to sleep before 1 in the morning, but there are times when I'm lucky enough to have my full 8 hours.. which is what usually works best for me. Sleeping any later than that, and I'm either cranky or very sleepy for the rest of the day.

The more the better. If I didnt set an alarm, I could sleep 14 hours, easily. But thats because I stay up so late and then wake up so early for work, so Im always drained. But if I can sleep in the next day, I like about 8 hours sleep.

:lol: Same with me. Some night's I won't go to bed until around 4:00AM, and the next day I will wake up around 2:00PM...I am a night owl, and when school starts back, it will prolly take me a month to get used to going to bed at a reasonable time (around 9:30) and getting up at 6:30. I am weird. I mean, I get the same amount of sleep almost it just doesn't feel like I do...weird!:eek:

That's what my friend does, but I can't sleep that late...lately just from like 1-2, to like 10 or 11.

I'm REALLY weird when it comes to sleeping. Now, I'm a pain when I wake up, and it's hard to wake me up...and it usually takes me about an hour to stop feeling tired...but after that I'm pretty much set for the day. I loooooove sleeping in late. My mom wakes me up at 12 every day and since I go to bed at different times every night, that means less sleep. However, a week ago I hadta get up at 6:30 to drive my friend halfway home from the beach and I went to bed at like 3. After that first hour in the morning, I was fine...not tired or grouchy at all the rest of the day. During the school year I only get like 5-6 hours of sleep a night and I'm fine. I think that as long as I have a few days of 10-11 hour sleep, I'm good for a while. I'm sure that was kinda confusing...but that's how I am. Yupperdoo...

I can sleep for a long time, about 10 hours. But dosent usually happen. I can go all day with only 4 hours though.

Eight hours of sleep is perfect for me, 7 is decent. When it starts dipping below 7, I'm in trouble, and a total mess at 6 hours or under.
Sleep affects everything about me--my appearance, my mood, my attitude and energy level.
Lack of sleep makes me feel very weird, and I think too negative about everything.
On a solid night's sleep, I'm in the best mood and feel I can conquer anything.

I used to need about 8 or 9, but I've operated on 5-7 hours this whole summer. I don't know if I'll ever adjust again.

6-7 hours is enough for me. Very rarely do I sleep past 8 hours. :)

I'm up almost every night talking to Leah_2oo6 over AIM, and I can vouch for the both of us being up past 4AM. Most of the time, I get up between 11 to 11:30 in the morning...I LOVE getting the mail, and I don't want my mom to get it while I'm at home...Which is fine, because she doesn't want to get it anyway. I love going outside to get it. :D

The only difference would be that I don't go to bed that late and if I do then I don't sleep as much, I'll normally wake up around noon. But if I got to bed at midnight I can easily sleep until noon the next day. Weird, I know.
