Just curious ...

I selected 6 even though it's more like 5 1/2 about 50% of the time.

The reason I skimp on sleep is not because I'm not tired...it's because there isn't enough hours in the day. I work long shifts often, anywhere from 11-15 hours and in May I worked 35 days straight without a day off.

I just can't come home from work and go right to sleep only so I can wake up in the a.m. and do it all over again. I need a little "me" time to de-compress a bit and spend some awake time at home. My only option is to cut in on my sleep time.

That's the American way I guess. The days of 8-8-8 (8 hours work, 8 hours play & 8 hours sleep) are long gone for most of us trying to make it.

When in Shanghai I need at least one - one and a half hour more sleep than when back in the Netherlands. Probably because Shanghai is always so busy, tiring, and noisy - even at night.

around 4 if i'm lucky.

the number of things needed to be crammed into a day seems to multiply when you live in tokyo. sleep becomes a low priority. blah.

7 hours. 6 is still OK. 8 would be great.

5 if I am lucky.

5 if I'm lucky too.

Bed around 10am up by 4pm at work around 10pm

i aim for about 6-7 hours, sometimes get more, sometimes get less.

Around 6 usually. Found out the problem is not how many hours I got, but more about when I go to sleep. I wish I'd have time to go to bed before midnight every day.

Ok, who's the 10 hour guy?

Depends on the work I am doing at the time.

Aim for bed at 10pm, normally get in at around 11pm. Wake up at just gone 7 in the morning or earlier if I can be bothered to shave.

When I am working on my own stuff I'll often work still I sleep. This is only for a few days / weeks though.

I've been known to fall asleep at midnight, if I am still awake i become less and less coherent.

A solid six hour and I am good to go,
Any less I am at reduced capacity for most of the day
I used to work shifts if I got four hours I was doing well, the end result was me falling asleep behind the wheel of my car
After a sixteen hour day. I hit a wall the car rolled a couple of times multiple injuries I was out of work for over a year
I have never really recovered from it. so my advice for what is worth make sure you get enough sleep.

Matt Wagner!

Matt Wagner does not sleep... he meditates for 8 hours per night!

On average I sleep about 6 hours per night during the weekdays but that's due to my persosnl choice. I could go to sleep earlier but I don't.

Same here, so I selected 5 hours making my selection and yours a correct average of 5.5 hours

I've got two kids under 4.

What's this sleep thing?

Bed at bewteen 24:00 and 00:30, up at 07:15-07:30 for the last 20 odd years. Before that (when on construction sites) up at 06:30

In theory, I could get at least 7 hours. Current nighttime temperatures combined with the idiosyncrasies in my apartment's architecture (= sauna) give me a about 4-5 hours of restless sleep.

Let me guess, no A/C unit in your building/house?
