how many hours sleep would you say you have a night (or in any 24hour period for those of you who sleep in the day and stay up all night)?

I probably have around 7 hours at the most during the week..I think I need more though.

    Probably about 3 and a bit, then another 3 or so, I very rarely sleep more than 3 or 4 hours in a stretch.

    Anywhere between 5 and 7. I always aim for 8, but never do.

    I need more sleep, I'm tired. Although the commuting I do probably doesn't help.

    Unless I am on nightshift I find it impossible to sleep after 10am - no matter how tired I am. I had a friend that went to sleep at 1am and never got up til 4pm! 15 hours sleep!!

    I am terrible - I wake up feeling tired - later on in the evening I go to sleep fot a couple of hours - thereby I dont fall asleep till 3 in the morn and then have to get up early feeling tired... and the vicious circle continues.

    3-12 hours....i'm a seriously speradic sleeper, and i suffer from really bad nightmares too so that does help, and i'm prone to over sleeping when i do sleep.

    I'm exactly the same, unless nightshift is a factor then I always get up around 8am, regardless of what time I went to sleep. Usually I'm still tired but I like to keep myself in the routine, and just make up for it the following night by going to bed earlier.

    Usually I get about 7-8 hours sleep a night, it seems to do the trick!

    Recently it has been around 9-10 hours. I find that sleeping is a good way to pass the time-the longer I sleep, the less waking hours there are in the day.

    I had to get up early recently though, but found it hard to get to sleep at night, so it ended up at about 4-5 hours for those days.

    I don't know about average which let's face it is a crap measurement because about the guess is going to be wrong for about 98% of the time.

    What I can say, with 100% confidence is that no matter how long I sleep, it's never enough. :)

    about 8 - 12 hours. Although no matter what time I've gone to bed, and no matter how long I've slept, I'm always more tired if I get up at 11 than I am if I get up at 6/7. Suckeh.

    7 and a half hours the last week. I have been redusing it from 8 and a half slowly over the past 7 months, I am seeing if I can't sleep less (to have more waking hours). My goal is to see how many hours I can sleep, while still felling ok. A freak experiment, I guess.

    Usually about 6 hours. It can go up to 10 if I'm really tired or down to 2 or 3 if I stayed up too late and I have to wake up early.

    i'm messed up in that regard

    a bit like bong, i'd get a few hours sleep at a time, it's weird for me because when i wake up after a few hours i never feel tired, i have to force myself to sleep, so mentally i'm always awake but physically wrecked, then some days i'll just sleep for 10-15 hours...it's weird like
