How Much Sleep Do You Need?

[BlackCat]

I'm good with 6-8 hours. If I get any less I'm tired the next day, if I get any more then I just wanna sit around all the next day.

 

[lunalum]

I need about 10 hours of sleep each night. If I go for about a week without at least one 10 hour night I cannot think, and the world takes on a dreamlike quality where nothing makes sense and I could be amidst an alien invasion and my response would be "Oh, whatever" as I stumble along like a drunken zombie....

Anyway... I just really need my sleep, okay?

 

[Lexicon]

I'm best betwee 5 & 7 hours of sleep.
I'd rather go with less than more if I had to choose 4 or 8. I used to go 4hrs a night for awhile, and it wasn't too pleasant sometimes, but I'd wake up and feel fine up until bedtime. 8 hours or more, I feel lethargic and want to sleep 14hrs..
Damn weird circadian rhythm..

 

[Kyrielle]

Left unattended, I'll sleep for 10-12 hours. But I can handle sleeping 5-6 hours for a few nights. I know I need that 10-12 at some point, usually I catch up in the form of naps. The 2-3 hours that I got last night is definitely not enough... (everything is a little...floaty right now...very unsettling)

 

[INTJMom]

I have always needed 9 hours.
If I only get 6 hours for about 3 days in a row,
I will be exhausted and need to catch up on lost sleep.

 

[wolfy]

7 hours is perfect for me.

 

[Falcarius]

Around seven hours or Falcarius becomes a rather miserable so and so. Having said that, he has to confess he only just got up after ten hours sleep today; it is a rather hard life being a dinosaur you see.

 

[Gingerale-san]

I love to sleep and rarely let myself get less than 6 hours. I've never pulled an all-nighter when I had to do something the next day. I usually shoot for at least 8, but left unaccountable, I could sleep 14 hours easily.

 

[Thursday]

6 or 5

 

[NewEra]

About 7-8 hours. I realize when I get too much sleep, I feel sluggish and lethargic the next day.

 

[Tiltyred]

8 is perfect. Sometimes I'll sleep 9, but the last hour is lucid dreaming, where I could get out of bed but I don't want to because I'm enjoying my dreams. That 9 solid hours with morning dreams is the best sleep. I can do a lot with that.

Less than 8 is not going to be a good day.

 

[Sniffles]

I usually do fine with just 6 hours. Oddly if I sleep longer I usually feel worse throughout the day.

 

[Athenian200]

When I was younger, I developed a phobia of falling asleep because I was afraid I might miss something. Back in that time, I would usually stay awake for three days straight, fall asleep for about 30 minutes to 2 hours, and then wake up freaked out and stay up for another three days.

These days I can't seem to get by on less than 4 to 6, although I prefer 7-8. I can break up my sleep to happen during different parts of the day if necessary instead of sleeping all at once, though.

 

[alcea rosea]

8,5 hours would be the best but these days I "survive" with 7 - 7,5 hours per night.

 

[Darjur]

7.5 normally,
After a training session, 8-9, depends on how hard I go on myself.

 

[The Outsider]

I have quite irregular sleep patterns. During school days I usually get about 4-7 hours, otherwise it's anything from 5-12 hours.
I don't mind sleeping less though, I kind of like the feeling of being tired, except when I feel like crap of course.

 

[briochick]

I have to get at least six, I need seven to eight, and eight to nine is good. I only need over nine if I'm sick, *seriously* warn out, or majorly depressed.

 

[briochick]

8 is perfect. Sometimes I'll sleep 9, but the last hour is lucid dreaming, where I could get out of bed but I don't want to because I'm enjoying my dreams. That 9 solid hours with morning dreams is the best sleep. I can do a lot with that.

ditto.

 

[violaine]

Nine hours a night is perfect. Most of the time I get by on much less.

 

[Samuel De Mazarin]

I can go without sleep for up to four days at a time, three or four times a month, provided that I am hopped up on copious amounts of drugs.

It's a good life.
