Hi, How many hours of sleep do you get? And how many hours are recommended? Do you feel tired during the day after a short night? Or can you sleep 3 hours and feel great? I personally sleep around 8 hours a night and feel good.

I can never feel great if i don't get enough sleep.., I always see to it that I get enough sleep which is 6-8 hours at night for me to be able to function at my optimal level the next day..=)

At my age it's recommended that I get 8-10 hours of sleep every night. I usually get around 7... if I'm lucky. With all the stress at college, I've been having problems with insomnia. It's been better these last few weeks but I've still had loads of trouble sleeping. I think I need to be getting around 10 hours of sleep because I usually feel tired if I don't.

I usually try to get 7 hours worth of sleep. Sometimes, I'll get a little less than that, but I try to make up for it the following night or with a nap or something like that.

I was just complaining to an online friend this morning that I don't get enough sleep, usually about 4 or 5 hours. But then, when I do, I sleep poorly! Like last night, I was tired so I went to bed at 11 and as much as I wanted to sleep later I could not stay asleep, so I was up by 6. OK, that was 7 hours at least, but I spent the last hour tossing and turning, trying to sleep. Now, I'm wide awake and so tired I want to go back to sleep! :(
