I get 6-8 hours' sleep each night, and sometimes take a (very refreshing!) nap for 20-30 minutes or more in the afternoon.
I think that I really need maybe 9 hours' sleep, and I never want to get up in the morning! But this is how much sleep I actually get. I voted 7 hours.
No matter what time I go to bed (which is usually around midnight) I wake up at 6 am and I'm up, baby. Been like that all my life. I no longer work outside the home and so I can go to bed and wake up anytime I like and I am still a six hour sleeper. I feel great. I've never seemed to need more sleep.
My daughter on the other hand needs around 9 hours of sleep. Sheeze, I couldn't FORCE myself to sleep nine hours!
I would love to get a solid 6 hrs every night. Right now I'm averaging a little over 5 hours and it isn't enough. I take some supplements which seem to help for 2 to 3 hours. Then I'm up and I take more supplements which give me 2 to 3 more hours. I'm going to try some sublingual CBD, with a little THC and see if that helps.

8 hours, because I usually hit the hay at 9:00 PM, my clock radio pops on at 4:30 AM, but it is usually more near 5:00 AM when I actually wake up.
Between 7 and 8 hours might actually be a more truthful statement, since I don't immediately go to sleep when I go to bed, and sometimes wake up before the clock radio comes on.
My body needs 8 to 9 hrs.
I get about 5 though...
I love power naps in the afternoon.
Since I took on full time night shift I have yet to get acclamated on a set sleep schedule. On my two days off I usually crash and burn. I slept 15 hrs the one day...my body demanded it.
Not much anymore. Once i stopped smoking i don't sleep during the day and nites are not like they used to be. I have really gone down hill since i stopped smoking 4 years ago.
OP, you sound like you think your wife is lazy or something for "needing" 7 hours a night? Really? If she does and you really need only 2 hours a night (which I frankly do not believe at all), then SHE is the normal one, you aren't. But again, not really believable.
Here we go...
Your first accusation is way out there.
When did I say I only needed two hours of sleep? I usually go to bed around midnight and get up at 6-6:30. Yes, the poll might not be the greatest, I'm not a professional researcher, just someone who made a poll on an internet forum out of curiosity.
