Sleep Poll: How much sleep do you get?

[Nintendo]

Me, personally...well, I get 5 hours a day, on average.

6hours...

 

[Wally]

Nothing under 7 hours.

 

[Nintendo]

Wow, I'm jelly of you.

Your poll is biased The intervals are not consistent. 

first one is only 1 hour interval.

Second one is 2 hours interval.

third one is 2 hours interval.

fourth one is 3 hours interval

Last one is a "more than..." interval. 

You are bound to get very extreme results when designing a poll this way

Plus, sleep cycles being roughly of 90 minutes each, the interval should rather be exprimed in sleep cycles (1h30 to 3h, 3h to 4h30, 4h30 to 6h, etc...).

My thoughts exactly.

5-8 is a really big margin for me. I usually get 7-9 hours. With the most effective sleep 7.5-8.

Except on some weekends where I get ~5-6 or none at all.

I run on about 4 to 5 hours of sleep, weekends a tad bit more.

Every other day 4-6, alternatively 8-10. I´ve been like that since childhood

Two short nights in a row power me out disproportionally, so i alternate.

6hours sleep,

13hours work, midday lunch + transportation

5hours at home

I typically get about 4 hours, but it varies between say 3-5. I've always had insomniac tendancies, but with the babies around, I've almost stopped caring about sleep. Yes, I'm a mess this way

But I picked the 1-3 option, because thats what I've been getting for the last week :/  I'm hoping to get back to the 5-6 hours routine soon, can't take much more of this

edit: removed all the personal stuff

Meh, doesn't matter how much sleep I seem to get, I'm always tired these days.

I am one of these people. I require no more than 6 hours.

 

[EvilDragon]

6 hours on weekend, 3-5 hours during the week.

How do you know .. you could just be someone (like me and ED apparently who have become accustomed to low sleep, but not likely genetically predisposed to it..

You should increase granularity for the most common input range.. you did the opposite >_> Not going to be a very interesting poll..

 

[mindlord]

I've always been like that as long as I can remember. Even as a kid I'd lay awake at night well past my bedtime. As a teen it wasn't uncommon for me to get 4 hours of sleep and function just fine.

I used to think it was odd too, and tried to make myself get more sleep, but always felt worse when I did. So I stopped trying. I don't even sleep in on the weekends. My idea of sleeping in is getting 7 hours of sleep.

matriach forces me to " go to bed " at 10 . Probably falls asleep at 1:00 due to internet and books . Lately I have been listning . Weekends generally later but I will sleep in till 9:00 . Once woke up at 10:00 am , stayed up to 5:00 am playing red dead redemption , woke up at 7:00 . went to bed at 10:00 pm following night . Deer season same as normal except for getting up at 5-6 and I generally get more excercise during this time . However I only hunt ( during deer season ) on the weekends So I can go to school .

Every couple weeks I just get the urge to skip a night (or sometimes a weekend). But generally I really can't do without my 7-8 hours.

 

[crow_riot]

just cast my vote - 5 to 8 hours. i could sleep endlessly .... but well then i'd just sleep/work/sleep/work which isn't fun and babyboy demands his time, too
