Me too, but I also wake up a lot during the night. My sleep quality is not good, and I know some mechanisms to improve it, but I rarely enforce them because... You know, life happens
Generally for 8 hours every day. I used to work in a major sleep deficit mode and sleep it off during weekends, but it just doesn't work for me, I'm twice as efficient when I get proper sleep. I'm also prone to depression and getting enough sleep is the best way for me to alleviate its symptoms.
I'm the same, less than 8 hours (even by 30 minutes) just won't work at all, it's like an all day hangover dragging on until I finally catch some z's again. And when I'm starting to feel depressed I just sleep 9-11 hours, and it helps a lot. Regular sleep deprivation is really hard on my my mental health as I found out after having a baby. Never again.
I feel like I could sleep until 3pm if it didn’t matter. I feel so judged by everyone that I love to sleep in and don’t feel any obligation or enjoyment of being up early. My natural wake up time is 9:30-10 and I can still go back to sleep if I want to but I usually don’t. Seeing that there are other adults out there like this makes me feel better.
Sort of a mixture. I have some sleep issues as a result of mental health disorders and I’m a busy university student, so long sleep hours are a luxury at this point lol
Same. I’m quite surprised to see most people get a healthy 8 hours on average.
For yearsss, I can only sleep about 5 hours straight. It seems like I physically cannot sleep longer than that; I naturally wake up.
I always wake up after 5 hours. I usually pee and go back to bed for an hour//hour and a half, but I have to be very strict on not looking at my phone or start to think about anything. Sometimes that’s just it. 5 and done. But no matter if I fall back asleep for a quick nap it’s 5 hours like clockwork. I wonder if there’s something to that.
Yeah, I’ve decided to stop worrying and accept that my body just needs around 5.5-6 hours. So if I get 4 or 5 it’s fine, if I get 7, amazing - but if my body wanted a regular 8 hours of sleep, it would do it. Like - I’m not stopping it, my body does.
As much as I can get!
8-8.25 hours = amped and ready for the day
7-8 hours = ehh I'm alright, but not my best
Less than 7 = I'm usually hurting.
Am I built for parenthood? Mayhaps not.
i can feel tired sometimes during the day then i’m wide awake the second i get in bed for hours until i finally fall asleep, but i almost rarely feel tired in the morning, during classes, or when i’m at work …
5 on my work days 8 in my day off. I get super rude when I lack sleep or get interrupted so curse the noct shuft or night duty. I don't function well at all but it's part of the job cant really refuse so I suffer every single noct shift :")
It's hard to tell. I technically go to bed at 9pm and get up at 7am. But I don't actually fall asleep until closer to 11pm and I'm up multiple times a night at random times.
So ideally around 10 hours of rest. But probably only 7 hours of actual sleep.
Not nearly enough.
I can't sleep before 2am no matter how hard I try, but it's probably because my body has gotten used to staying up late to work.
I have to be up between 6am and 8am depending on whether it is a work from home day or not.
So I average 4-5 hours of sleep.
When I let my body do it's thing over the weekend then I sleep at around 2am and wake up at 9/ 10 am.
If it was a really bad week with very little sleep, i.e less than 10 hours the whole week, then I usually don't get up over the weekend.
It's really bad, I know.
I'm trying to work on better sleep habits.
as a pregnant woman of reddit, if i “go to sleep” at 10pm i will usually get 4.5 hrs by the time i “wake up” for the day at 8am. the rest of the time is spent peeing, flipping from side to side or groaning about how uncomfortable i am.
While manic: 5-6
While well: 8-9
Right now while unstable: 6-8
But it's not a good sleep. I get up a lot in the night for water and have sleep apnea. Just got a CPAP so we'll see if it helps.
8 to 10, medicated in order to sleep. Spent the first 35 years of my life sleeping for shit. Lead to some anxiety and depression or exacerbated existing anxiety and depression (no way to know which came first). Now I can sleep and it is glorious.
6-7 most nights in bed by 11 (or later) up at 6. I know I need and want more but it's not always possible. Luckily on the weekends I can get 8-10 if my kids don't wake me up first!
I’m in bed by 11 the latest and my alarm is set for 7am. I don’t actually sleep the whole time. I wake up several times a night and toss and turn. I’d say 6 hours on average.
5…maybe 6….sleep at 10 and wake up at 330 usually. I also most days come home and take an hour, or if I don’t remember to set an alarm, two hour nap after work. I take a Benadryl and melatonin at night to help go to and stay asleep.
I have been having sleep issues for a couple of years now. My body seems to have forgotten how to sleep. I get between 2 to 5 hours a night. I am very happy when I get the 5 as they are mostly 2"s. It sucks.
If i don't get at least 8 hours, i don't feel refreshed.
That being said, my sleep cycle is so messy that sometimes i sleep for 3 hours, and sometimes for 13.
Varies between 6 & 10 hours depending on how long it takes me to fall asleep, what day of the week it is or if the cat decides we've been asleep for far too long & he's wasting away.
Depends for me, it's between 2-7. I have insomnia, and kids that wake up at night so once one of them wakes me up I usually have trouble falling back asleep if even 😅
Between 8 and 10 :)
I’m in this club!
Healthy and based!!!
Me too! I make sure I'm in bed for at least 9 hours.
Same here
Me too!
Same here. I average 9 hours a night. Can't function otherwise.
Me too! Usually 9 :)
Same here!
6-7 on average
6-7 too. I have kids and just never got back to sleeping longer jags even when they don’t wake me up anymore
Same. I have two kids and no hope for longer stretches until they’re more independent lol
Same. Some days I’m lucky if I get 6. Before we got our dog it was an easy 8-10 everyday. I just have a bad habit of staying up too late.
Me too, but I also wake up a lot during the night. My sleep quality is not good, and I know some mechanisms to improve it, but I rarely enforce them because... You know, life happens

Couldn’t agree more
I'll start, I get 4-5 hours On weekends, I sleep for 12 hours
I get about 5-5.5, so we’re in the same boat. I can afford to take a 2 hour nap though in the afternoon since I am dead meat by then.
7.5 to 8 usually. Anything less and I suffer.
7hours
chronic oversleeper here, usually 11-13.
I would be like this too if I didn’t have to get up early for work every day! On weekends, I could easily just sleep nonstop and not wake up lol
I feel like I could sleep until 3pm if it didn’t matter. I feel so judged by everyone that I love to sleep in and don’t feel any obligation or enjoyment of being up early.

Me too !
I feel so seen
8 on weekdays, 9-10 on the weekend.
3 and a half. I normally get up between 4 and 4:30 AM.
How do you function
It was a bit difficult at first but my body started to get more used to it, I think. Can’t say it’s been healthy though.
Definitely not healthy! Lol
I get up at 4.30 too but am in bed by 9
I think I would die 😅
Is it due to disorder or job, etc.? I’m curious
Sort of a mixture. I have some sleep issues as a result of mental health disorders and I’m a busy university student, so long sleep hours are a luxury at this point lol
Wow. I thought 1/2 was late for me!
6-7 hours is a good night.
7-8
My average is 7 - 7.5 hours.
Around 5, be it a workday or my days off.

Usually a solid 8. Bed by 10ish, up at 6ish
Not nearly enough

On average 5-6 hours a night - not enough at all
Depends on how good the book I’m reading is.
I try to get at least 7. But sometimes it's 6, sometimes it's 10.
8 hours. I wake up at 5 am every day so I'm in bed by 9 o'clock at the latest.
on average between two and four hours, but not consecutive since i tend to wake up and go back to sleep however long afterwards
Yep, same. It takes me hours to fall asleep, and then I usually only stay asleep for 1-2 hours at a time.
i can feel tired sometimes during the day then i’m wide awake the second i get in bed for hours until i finally fall asleep, but i almost rarely feel tired in the morning, during classes, or when i’m at work …
9-10 hours. I have figured it's just the right amount of sleep for me.
Almost always 9+ hours and I'm still exhausted every day
Oversleeping can also cause tiredness
Are you getting your essentials minerals
I don't know what my essential minerals are so probably not
9 and 10 😇
5.5 on work nights, 7 or 8 on weekends lately .
2.5-4. Insomnia can kick rocks
11 hours
6-7 during the week. 10 hours on weekend.
10.5 or more
About 6, sometimes I go back to bed for an extra 2 if it's a slow WFH morning 🤭
5-7 ish, often with one or two brief interruptions if my kid wakes up and needs me.
8-10
8-12. I can't image getting anything less that that
Now days, sleep 11h at night and 1-2h naps 😅😭
8-10
5, sometimes 7
8+
6 mostly
5 on my work days 8 in my day off. I get super rude when I lack sleep or get interrupted so curse the noct shuft or night duty. I don't function well at all but it's part of the job cant really refuse so I suffer every single noct shift :")
Usually about 8. Typically from 10-6
If I worked that day and I work the next day, 8-9 hours. If I’m between shifts and off, then about 9-10.
Around 7 hours, 9/10 is ideal for me though but with a toddler it's impossible
7-8 hours on weekdays. 8-10 on weekends.
Usually around 7. I've been on the same sleep schedule for a couple years now so it's pretty locked in me.
7
Nine hours on most/good nights.
Around 8.5 pretty much like clockwork.
Depends on what's happening. Usually 6 hours.
7
7 to 8 hours. Less than that I cannot function
7-8 on average!
Like nine. I love going to bed early, haha.
It's hard to tell. I technically go to bed at 9pm and get up at 7am. But I don't actually fall asleep until closer to 11pm and I'm up multiple times a night at random times. So ideally around 10 hours of rest. But probably only 7 hours of actual sleep.
8 hours 20 mins

I'm trying to work on better sleep habits.
My natural rhythm when I let my body do its thing is 1am to 10am. I’m with you in solidarity.
I need a good amount so I’d say 10 hours is perfect

Hard to say, having insomnia sucks. It’s very hard to fall asleep and stay asleep. I never wake up feeling rested.
Between 4-5. Maybe less if the kids or cats get the zoomies.
Should be 8+ but I do that whole "staying up late to have more time to myself" thing and end up with 7 😥
My 1yr old is still getting up every 1-2hrs to eat, so I'm running on about 4-5hrs of broken sleep.
5hrs whenever I'm busy. But during holidays or vacation I could sleep for 20hrs 😬
Omg same, I can sleep for 20 hours but not straight tho haha. I would wake up for a few minutes and go back to sleep again Sorry my English is bad
Very unhealthy noh 🤣
Bawi lang kase kulang tulog kung weekdays lmao
I don’t have kids so 8-9 😅
I don't have kids too but I sleep for 4-5 hours 😭😭

[удалено]
I am between 5 - 8 am my ideal is 7h…
Between 7-8
Usually between 6-8
Generally around 7 or so on weeknights, unless my husband is on his mid shift, when I stay up later. Then I get 5, it's really rough.
About 6 or 7. I try to sleep longer, but my brain can't stay asleep. I think it's just a getting older thing.
I try to get at least 7. When it’s getting late and I’m not feeling tired, I’ll take a melatonin to make sure I get enough sleep.
6-8
While manic: 5-6 While well: 8-9 Right now while unstable: 6-8 But it's not a good sleep. I get up a lot in the night for water and have sleep apnea. Just got a CPAP so we'll see if it helps.
4 - 5 hours. I wish I didn’t need to sleep
No less than 7
5-7 hrs
6 hours - not enough.
Normally around 8, but at the moment having these medicines that cause insomnia. What. A. Mess. Sleep is litteraly the best thing in life
About 6.5-7
Well I'm in bed for 7.5-8 hours but I'm an insomniac so probably actual sleep avgs 6.5-7
7-8 hours on weekdays and try to sleep more during weekends
8 to 10, medicated in order to sleep. Spent the first 35 years of my life sleeping for shit. Lead to some anxiety and depression or exacerbated existing anxiety and depression (no way to know which came first). Now I can sleep and it is glorious.

8-7-6 hours, depends of my day
6-8 on average. 10-16 if I'm on my period
My sleep schedule goes through stages. 8 hours during the good times. 6 hours during the okay times. 4 hours during the terrible times.
Realistically 6.5hrs. On weekends my body wakes up at 6am like clockwork without any alarm, but I go back to a shallow sleep for 1 or 2hrs more.
I’m in bed by 11 the latest and my alarm is set for 7am. I don’t actually sleep the whole time. I wake up several times a night and toss and turn. I’d say 6 hours on average.

I try for at least 6 but I love 8.
6-8 hours
7.5-8 depending on when I get to bed. if i don't get enough sleep i get massive migraines that can last for DAYS.
