I've found out that one can stand man deprivations in life, but not sleeplessness.

Usually get around 7 hours during the weeknights, and an extra hour during the weekend. Anything more than that and I feel as if I wasted a good part of the day.

8-10hours usually. If I sleep longer than that, waking up the next morning is such a hard task.

between 5 and 6 on weekdays and 8-12 on weekends

on weekdays, I get 6-7 hours sleep. I'm a night owl and am usually up past midnight, but I'm on morning dog walk duty, which means I'm either up or woken up by the dog no later than 7-7:30. The dog's actually been known to head butt the side of the bed and jump on top of me if I don't get up in time!

On weekends, the husband takes over the morning dog duty, so I get to sleep in a little and get 7-9 hours sleep. Ahhhh, weekends...

In the 'old days' (high school & college), I routinely got 3-5 hours of sleep. I've never been a good sleeper and have always had trouble falling asleep, ever since I was a kid.

Wow how do you guys function off so little sleep. If I get any less than 8 I drag ass all day long. I usually get around 9 hours if I work the next day and on week-ends around 10.

I also can't stand caffeine so maybe that's why.

Thankfully I have more days off than on (12hr shifts)

The joys of working in a NOC? I had an offer for a NOC position with 5 days on, 5 days off. 11-hour shifts. There's no way I could handle that.

right now, about 7-8 hrs per night. That said, I'm about to have my world rocked by a baby girl mid-december so I'm guessing at minimum, I'll cut my current number in half. I'll be lucky to get 4 hours lol.

As many as possible every night. That usually comes out to about 6 on weekdays and 8 on the weekends like most.

On weekdays I go to bed around 1-2 am and get up around 7 and on weekends I get up around 10. I am more nocturnal than a morning person.

I'm in bed by midnight and get up at 8AM. But I really don't sleep more than 6 hours. The rest of the time, I'm tossing and turning and thinking. My mind just keeps going......

What's sleep?

Seriously, I've always been an insomniac, my mother was too. When I got into IT, and then into college, I slept even less. There are nights I get as much as 5 or 6 hours, but I tend to average anywhere from 2 to 4, depending on the time of year.

I sleep from 900 - 445 every day. At least I wake up at the same time, even if I fall asleep at 2200

That's about 7h 30min daily.

Then some more sleep while commuting, occasionally.
