Different people need different amounts of sleep. Margret Thatcher only used to sleep for 3 hours a night IIRC. Then again she was a robot. ;)

7.5~8 hours is usually enough for me. Much more and I start to feel tired.

far more than i usually get!

being more serious, i 'need' about 6 hrs. i can get away with 5 hrs for a while, but find it catches up and once in a while a longer sleep is required.
the most i ever slept was 3pm one afternoon, right through till 7 the following morning: 16 hrs!!!. Had stayed up off nights the couple of days before though.

It would appear i need roughly 7/8 hours sleep a night. Though sometimes i can do with a bit extra.

When i was first working and up out of bed at 4.30am then about 4 hours sleep was fine as long as i had 2 in the afternoon. Dont recommend that though!!

7 or 8 hours is sufficient for me, anymore then I tend to feel like poo.

I try and get approximately 8/9 hours a night... Last night though I was in the chat room till nearly midnight so I only got about 7 and half, as I have to be up at 8 to get ready and go to my computer course at The Source near Meadowhall.

I can manage on around 8 hours but if I get chance I have a lot more - 10-12 is about right for me. I can easily sleep 16hrs if i'm left alone - OH doesn't often do that though :(

During the week I have between 7 - 8 hours, but im always tired.

10 is ideal for me, but I only get that at weekends

I could easily sleep for 10 hours a night if I had the time! I only got 5 hours last night cos I was studying and I felt So Bad at uni today!

How much do I need..? More than I get! :hihi:

I typically function on six hours a night during the week.. but ideally I need eight or nine to not feel tired by mid afternoon/teatime. :)
