How many hours do you sleep at night?

[Sanjeev]

I sleep at least 7-8 hours at night; otherwise, I feel drowsy, lazy, and ill in the morning at work. I hate when I have to stay awake late at night. I have seen people who take a sleep of 1-2 hours at night but feel fresh in the morning. I don't know how they manage. Maybe their body doesn't require sleep and is full of energy.

I make sure that I sleep for 7 hours on a daily basis, anything less than that I would not be able to function properly. There are times when I have one hour to spare during the to sleep a little as well, and I make good use of it.

In theory or in actuality?

I have to be up a bit before 6am so I try to go to bed around 10:00pm / 10:30ish. I usually aim for at least 7 hours. Somedays I come way too tired from work and I might head to bed a lot earlier. I've skipped dinner on particularly bad days and falled sleep as soonas I change out of the uniform. Not that my job is demanding, but my stamina definitely is not what it used to.

It varies for me depending on how long it takes me to fall asleep and how long I stay asleep for. I aim for around 7 - 8 hours a night if I can, but will admit some nights I only get a few hours, sometimes only 3 - 4 hours.

Unfortunately i do not have a specific amount of hours i use in sleeping. There are times where i sleep less than five hours and then there are times i sleep more.

I try and get about 6-7 hours sometimes more. I wake up a couple of times during the night so I get broken sleep but I try to have a nap during the day if I'm tired or I get grumpy.

I used to get some really bad nightmares because of past trauma but it doesn't happen anymore.

It depends, I try for 6-8, don't always get it. I seem to fall somewhere around the 6-7 hour mark.

Sleeping very well at night is something I put serious effort into because I know that if I don't sleep well, I will find it very difficult to function properly during the day. I sleep for about seven to eight hours every night.

These days I sleep 3 to 4 hours max. Sometimes less. Work and late-night thoughts didn't let me rest well. But I try to catch up during weekends. I remember when I used to sleep 8 hours easily, now it is like luxury. That's what adulthood throws at you.

I try to get at least 7 hours of sleep at night (a bit more at weekends). Doesn't always happen, though!

Last night I slept around 8 hours but I was on and off all night.

I slept for 7 hours today but still feel tired because I woke up twice at night. My legs are in pain; it may be because of the diabetes or may be because of the mental stress I have at work these days.

Sorry about your legs, health issues can be very overwhelming. You need to take enough rest. And yeah, I get you, even if you have enough sleep, the body sometimes still feels tired. Stress can do wonders on someone. Maybe try light stretching before bed or taking a warm tea. It helps me relax sometimes, especially when my head is too full.

I probably get around 6 hours or so every night. I try for longer, 7 or 8 hours if I can. But there are some mornings I can't get back to sleep so I end up just staying up. I wish I could sleep in like I used to.

Sleep of 6 hours is fine, but it is recommended to have it for 7-8 hours so that our body and mind may get a proper rest. Yes, sometimes it is hard to get back to sleep once awake. But that's not an issue with me; still, continuous sleep is always helpful.

I am mostly getting 7 hours of sleep and if not then I may feel sleepy throughout the day.
