I can answer this with as many as I can get.., Realistically I get about 6. When I had an off-line job I was lucky to sleep 4 -6 hours per night. My body was always so tired that I felt drained all the time. I suppose it has gotten use that routine as I cannot sleep past 6 hours.

I have tried sleeping longer hours but somehow my body has a built in alarm clock that 6 hours is all it wants to take. Once these eyes open I find it difficult to get back to sleep.

I need like 8 or 9 as well, but I rarely get that much sleep, only during weekends and holidays, really.

I am a very busy mom. I sleep 11 pm at night and wake up at 4 am... so that's 5 hours of straight sleep. and in the after noon, sometimes i join my son during his nap time at 1 pm to 4 pm... so that's 3 hours. so there, sometimes I complete the 8 hours of sleep (but not straight) and sometimes i only got 5 hours of sleep. I do tend to sleep 12 hours straight when I was still single though... I miss those times! lol!

Maybe about 6 hours. But when i was really i can sleep about 10 hours. People always said that human need 8 hours to sleep. But i think we need more than 8 hours. 8 is not enough .

I get 5-6 hours of sleep, sometimes max 7-8 hours. It depends if I have that ability to sleep a lot but I some what believe sleeping too much wastes a lot of your life so I try to not over sleep :)

I need a full 8 hours sleep the most to get me really going through the day especially that I have a medical condition. Sleep is something that I require to get me through the day. Before I had this medical condition I was only getting 3 hours the most of sleep during my college days and that was not everyday. Four days in a row I go without sleep just a 30 mins shut eye was all I could manage.

I need 8 hours. If I don't get my eight hours then my whole day will be ruined. I don't like my sleep patterns to be disturbed because it takes me weeks to get back on track.
