I love to sleep ever since I was a kid. I'm 22 years old now and I still need around 9 hours of sleep every night. Whenever I tried sleeping for 7 or 8 hours because of homeworks or something, I get sleepy the next day and I even have to take my afternoon nap. Like a kid, huh? How about you? How many hours of sleep do you get daily? I believe that sleep is also good for the health :)

I sleep 8 hours a day but I still feel like I still need more sleep every time I wake up. I think it is because my brain is so exhausted will all the work that I have to do during the day. It would be great to be able to have naps in the afternoon even if its only for 30mins. They say that the older you get, the less sleep you will need. I am not sure how true that is. Because I feel like I am needing more sleep than my little boys who are so energetic

I think that's true.. I don't know. My mom and dad wakes up early. My dad is a lot older than my mom and he wakes up around 6am in the morning for no reason at all. It's like he already got used to it.

I like sleep, but the more I get the more tired I am. I usually run pretty decent on around 6 to 7 hours, during the week. If I don't get up right away and move though I will either fall back asleep right away or when I do finally decide to get up then I am all groggy and tired for a while. I like to stay up late at night so I usually don't get 6 hours so Its hard for me to get up in the morning. Even when I do get the usual 6 to 7 hours by 3 PM or so I am usually tired and ready to take a nap. The sad part is I am only 24, and I am already wanting to take a nap lol, by the time I'm 48 I'll be sleeping all day.

hahaha! I think napping is part of some people's lives. I'm only 22 and I ALWAYS take a nap. Not everyday but I do whenever I can. I remember, when I was still in high school, I take a nap every day. That is worse haha! I just want to enjoy my sleep while I still can.

I can only sleep hours a day everyday. During weekends I can sleep late and even wake up late. My mother do not care. I love sleeping to. It is a form of relaxation to me. For me sleeping is more important than eating, which is wrong. Sometimes when i sleep it is so sounded that I do not notice even a single scream. That usually happened when I am so tired. We need atleast 6 to 8 hours of sleep a day to have an energy after a day and it is good for our health if complete hours of sleep is what we do.

I think sleeping is indeed more important than eating.. well at least for me lol! See the kids in the street. They'd rather sleep than be hungry. They sleep to forget their hunger and it works for a while. But yeah, that would be very unhealthy. I sleep like you! I don't hear anything while I'm asleep.

Around 5 to 6 hours a night. I'm a light sleeper so I easily wake up if I heard some unusual sounds around me. Much as I want to sleep a little longer, I cannot because I have to wake up early to prepare my husband children for work and school. And at night, I am the last to go to bed, you know, as a mother, I have to make sure that all of my children are safely home. During the day, instead of taking a nap, I work on mylot for extra earnings.

Your family must be really lucky to have you. Yes, being a mother is really hard. You have to be the last one to sleep and the first one to wake up as you have to be there when your husband and kids are preparing. Keep up the good work junrapmian :)

3-4 hrs of sleep for me. I have work in the morning so I can only check my online world at night, well I'm used to it and I am only sleepy during 1pm-2pm I don't know why, maybe that time of the day is the time where fairies are sprinkling sleeping powder in our atmosphere! Hey were both 22 :)

3-4 hours? Wow, you make me feel like a baby! lol. I wonder how you do that since I really can't keep myself awake once I have less than 9 hours of sleep. Maybe you become sleepy at 1-2pm because eating makes you sleepy. There are some stuff in our food that makes us sleepy :)

When I was kid, I use to sleep from 8 to 9 hours... but, as my age is growing up, my responsibility is also growing up so I am sacrificing my sleep...now, I am sleeping for about 6 to 7 hours only... what a bad situation...

I too enjoy sleeping a lot.I sleep for about 8-9 hours a day. sleep is definitely good for health and good sleep will help for a better day after work.Our efficiency increases. but when there is a lot of work to be done I sleep for only 5-6 hours.
