about the same.

Sometimes I can get away with less, but usually need about 6hrs a night

**CurrentlySober** · 11-11-2016, 01:48 AM

Good question but very hard for me to answer... You see, Due to my extreme drinking, I randomly pass in and out of consciousness at different times of the day. Sometimes after breakfast, sometimes after lunch, sometimes while driving the car etc... Because of this I don't really have a fixed 'nighttime' to sleep. I just think of night as the 'dark hours' when the liquor stores are closed...

**Scott McD** · 11-11-2016, 01:49 AM

Need about 6hrs at least usually. Or it's zombie mode for me aswell...

It's never enough!

**Nicky** · 11-11-2016, 02:58 AM

~8 hours is optimal

**Matyko** · 11-11-2016, 03:10 AM

If I sleep less than 6 hours I am unusable for the first half of the day..
7 hours is OK, and as a parent I can't afford to dedicate more time to this.

**Denny** · 11-11-2016, 03:22 AM

0 if it's a night booze.

Otherwise 5-7h.

**Aleksandra BongaCash** · 11-11-2016, 03:37 AM

6-7 hours

**Look Chang** · 11-11-2016, 03:44 AM

6-8 hours

**Paul&John** · 11-11-2016, 03:48 AM

At least 6! but usually 7-8

**Darina_BongaCash** · 11-11-2016, 04:01 AM

8 hours is perfect!

**yuu.design** · 11-11-2016, 05:28 AM

4 to 6 is enough to me

**Caitlin BongaCash** · 11-11-2016, 06:05 AM

I sleep about 6-7 hours, but sometimes on weekends I can sleep up to 10

This right here is the correct answer.

**Andreweb** · 11-11-2016, 06:10 AM

8 up to 10 hours at day ! I know I'm a lazy ass !

same 4-6, probably be better to make it more like 5-7 but haven't gotten there yet.

**Jane BongaCash** · 11-11-2016, 06:46 AM

sometimes 5-6 is ok for me

**Adnium_Ivana** · 11-11-2016, 06:48 AM

7-8 is my ideal. Anything less than 7: Don't expect anything productive from me

**Tom-LifeSelector** · 11-11-2016, 07:03 AM

8 hours otherwise I'm useless

**Evil Chris** · 11-11-2016, 07:04 AM

I usually give myself 7 hours per night. More on the weekends.

**Dolor** · 11-11-2016, 07:31 AM

7-8 hours... When I sleep less I look like uncle fester from the Addams family

most of the time yes ...

**Rochard** · 11-11-2016, 08:19 AM

Usually five or six hours. I tend to stay up until nearly midnight and then get up at 5:30 am. This is every morning; I am not a sleep in type of person.

**mineistaken** · 11-11-2016, 08:32 AM

8-9. If I sleep 4, next night I can sleep 12 easily.

However I can sleep 0 and not be a zombie next day, be pretty much ok, feeling a bit tired, but still at 90% of energy.
But in that case, next night will be 12 hours sleep for sure.

**Hannes** · 11-11-2016, 08:33 AM

i find it doesn't really matter how much i sleep, Im always tired

**PR_Glen** · 11-11-2016, 09:23 AM

you basically need less sleep as you get older. teenagers need as much as 10 plus hours where someone in their 40's can get away with 6 easily. But if you sleep a lot and are still always tired? you probably have a sleep disorder and should probably get checked for it, those things can kill you.

I used to need at least 8 even in my late 20's and still would be a zombie. I have horrible sleep apnea though so using a cpap fixes everything. This can happen to anyone btw, not just overweight people. My dad has a horrible case of it and he has been a relatively lean 150 for the last 50 years.

**Spunky** · 11-11-2016, 09:25 AM

Im lucky if I get 5

**bronco67** · 11-11-2016, 10:07 AM

There's the amount you think you need, then the amount you really need. Every other dickhead thinks he's special and only needs 4 hours. You weren't given some special biological gift which allows you to stay up longer than everyone else while not killing yourself slowly.

**CaptainHowdy** · 11-11-2016, 11:45 AM

7 hours of sleep (circadian style) ...

**Screwed Up** · 11-11-2016, 01:05 PM

On the keto diet:5-6h and I wake up super focused and alert. Weird.

Without keto: 7-8h on the regular. 9h is the Valhalla.

**j3rkules** · 11-11-2016, 02:29 PM

Usually about 8-9 hours.

**HomerSimpson** · 11-12-2016, 05:17 AM

I recommend 8-10 hours of sleep if you want to do anything mentally or physically challenging during the day.

**RachelBlackG** · 11-12-2016, 08:01 AM

depends...sometimes 4 is enough...but usually I need 8-10

**Feng-PD** · 11-30-2016, 10:03 AM

8-10 hours needed!

**Bladewire** · 11-30-2016, 10:05 AM

4 usually. Once a month or so I'll get 6.

If true, talk to a doctor. Something in your life is out of whack and there may be a very easy fix. Look at your diet first.

I'm good with 6. More or less than that and I'm not operating properly.

**2MuchMark** · 11-30-2016, 10:35 AM

6-7. If I sleep more than that it I seem to be tired for the entire day.

**mineistaken** · 11-30-2016, 10:44 AM

Checked random sleep apps on andorid, according to reviews - absolutely unreliable. And how could it be? I mean they are talking about counting deep sleep, medium sleep, light sleep cycles etc. It is not possible for the phone to do that reliably.
Mostly for fun.

**brassmonkey** · 11-30-2016, 10:45 AM

4 to 6 here

**Barry-xlovecam** · 11-30-2016, 11:00 AM

2 to 5 hours continuous/ 7 hrs in a 24 hr period.

**HomerSimpson** · 11-30-2016, 11:06 AM

8-10 - if I need to be able to work entire day
6-8 - if no work is involved

**davidCRM** · 11-30-2016, 11:06 PM

between 6-7h

**Caldo** · 12-01-2016, 12:22 AM

I'm fine with 6-7 hours
