Friends, let's share. How many hours do you need to sleep every day? I will need at least 8 hours. If I must sleep less than 8 hours, so I will have headache all day. How about you? Have a good weekend. Best wishes,

I sleep for about five to six hours per day. Six hours is my maximum during working days. That's good enough for me, otherwise I'll be cranky for the rest of the day. During rest days, I try to get as much sleep as possible. I try to exceed my six-hour routine as a reward for myself.

For working parents like me and my wife, a nights sleep is already very good if we had it for 4-5 hours. We usually sleep around 11pm at night and wake-up around 3-4am the next day. Its because, we parents had to prepare for our children breakfast and snack for school. We don't have a maid so the burden and sacrifice is on us. But despite all of this sacrifices, we are still happy knowing that we are doing our part as a good parents to our children. We are used to this kind of routine and will still be doing this for many years to come.

I know I need at least 9 hours of sleep daily, but I only manage to get about 6 to 7 hours of sleep on weekdays. I am more of a night-person, and I guess I function better at night than in the day. So what I usually do at that time is reading, or working on my software program which I got stuck trying to compile it during the day, or doing some journal writing. I usually stay till 1am or so, then I will force myself to go to sleep, becuase I got to be up by 7am to prepare for work the next day. Therefore weekends are always looked forward to, because it's the time for me to pay back my sleep debts!

I've had insomnia for over 10 years - nothing I've tried has ever helped for long. I do good if I can get about 4 hours a night uninterrupted sleep a night. Have tried to over the counter sleeping pills as well as the natural ones like Melatonin - none help much. Heck I even tried drinking myself to sleep - and all that did was give me a hangover the next day lol. I remember when my kid was little we used to sleep in til noon - oh those were the days lol.

I sleep 6 - 7 hours a day, that's in the night. But, some times, when I get back home from work very late, then I only get to sleep about 4 hours and have to start back to work. That's when I get headaches too, and dizzy all day long. I enjoy weekends ! That's when I often sleep about ten hours, some times at a stretch, some times with breaks.

At times, I'm lucky if I get 6-7 hours a night. However, there are times when I get 5-6. It just depends on how late I go to bed. I work late hours, and sometimes it takes me some time to wind down.

I get at least 8 hours a night. I have scheduled my life in a way that allows me to get all the sleep I need.

I sleep somewhere around 5-6 hours a day. I go to sleep at around mid night and get up at 5. So that is about 5 hours of sleep for me. I do not sleep for the rest of the day because I do not need to. Sometimes I do go through insomnia and that is a pretty hard time for me. I just cannot go to sleep and I slowly start feeling tired and exhausted.
