How much sleep do you need and get?

The average teenager should have at least nine-point-something hours of sleep. XD

I tend to get anywhere between three to twelve hours of sleep. However, if I sleep longer than nine hours my body aches and becomes quite restless. I'm use to operating on very little sleep because I'm just...use to having to force myself to do things. Sometimes I can't even tell the difference between being tired or being just peachy fine.

I love sleep!

I usually get about 7 or 8 hours on school nights and anything up to 12 on weekends depending what I'm doing on the night.

I don't know how much I need really. I've functioned ok with none before, but I did have a headache.

I get on average 7 hours a night. Although car journeys make me sleep.

I have been great about sleep for the past few nights! I love it. I feel much better. Like 8-10 hours

I actually find that I need barely any, which is odd! I usually get around 6 on average, but could manage with a lot less!

JCpatriots · 04-20-2008, 10:22 AM

School nights I get 5-6 hours, and weekends I get 8-12. Very screwed up sleep schedule for me sometimes, too. Some nights I fall asleep really early, other nights it takes hours.

On average I get about 6 hours sleep, weekdays, and normally weekends too, sometimes less on weekends even. Although lately I have been getting about 6-8 hours on weekends, but i prefer to maintain it at 6 hours. I have never needed much sleep to function well.

In my own opinion, the amount of sleep you need should depend on your stress lvl, activity lvl, and the actual stress you put on your body.

(I run 3-4 miles twice a day for cross country and demand exelence in everything i am associated with... so i try not to get a set amount of sleep, but as much as i possibly can get after homework and cross country)

vulpix · 10-19-2008, 06:27 AM

I sleep 8 hours.

BrainGooNeedingToSpill · 10-19-2008, 06:29 AM

Weekdays - About 8-9

Weekends - 10-12

Even on weekends and during holidays, I can never get any more than 9 hours sleep.
I usually have about 7-8 hours sleep, but I can last on less than 5 hours if I have to.
