How Many Hours Sleep Do You Normally Get Per Night?

And is THAT why you're in such a foul mood today? :hi:

1. On average about 6 hours...

... even on the weekends.

I love to get up early before the sun does. It's the best part of the day. Just me and a fresh brewed cup of coffee.

2. Just enough!

I get just enough to keep me happy and healthy - and never grouchy. ;-)

3. When I was young I could get by with three or four hours of sleep. Now

that I'm getting to be a geezette, I need more sleep but I find my life-style is still going to bed at midnight to one, and getting up between 5:15 and 5:30. And some days, like today, I'm a snarly creature.

I've always liked nights better than days, I just can't support myself that way.

5. I prefer 8 hours but usually stay up too late

I 'm not really a morning person, but need to be at work at 6:30 a.m. If I don't get 8 hours of sleep, I am tired for a couple of hours. If I get less than 6 hours of sleep, getting up at this time, I am zombie like until I get a second wind in the late afternoon. If I get up after 8 or 9 a.m. on the weekend though, I am fine with 6 hours of sleep.

6. I work 12 hour night shifts 2-3 times a week 5p-5:30a

so I'm on a night schedule alot and I'm a night person so I usually go to sleep about 2-3am and get up around 11-12 unless I have something to make me get up which doesn't bother me every now and then!!!! lol i got tired of flip-flopping around from a night schedule to a day schedule so I just keep it even so my body doesn't throw a fit! I also think night workers need more sleep than the day person because the body feels the need to make up for it.

8. I think it has to do with naturual sleep rhythms

Staying up all night is contrary to most people's sleep rhythms. As a result, they won't get as productive of a sleep and are more tired. I think that getting up in the early morning is contrary to my natural sleep rhythm, which is why I am better rested on less sleep getting up 3 hours later than on work days. I am better now than I had been. I used to feel like I had been hit by a truck when my alarm went off even with more thean 8 hours. To my body, it was like being woken up in the middle of the night.

9. I felt the same when I worked days and had to

get up 5am. It was like I was getting up in the middle of my deepest sleep and I felt like crap all day. Actually, I prefer working evening shift 3-11 but I don't have the option. That is when I operate to my full energetic potential! I wake up naturally but don't need as much sleep.
