How much sleep do you get a night on average?

Is eight hours sleep too much?

I usually get my good 7 to 8 hours sleep and doing that for many years I feel good

Everyone is different ,some need even more sleep,some need less

7-8 at night, 1-2 in the afternoon. Like James Brown sez "I feel good".

8 hrs. on average.
It varies with season/time of year-as well as depending on the particular occasion,
such as if I can't fall asleep early enough but also have to wake up sooner than I'd like.
Less sleep in summer (when it's warm & bright), more sleep in winter (when it's dark & cold).
I go with the empirical feedback my body gives me-if I feel sick with weariness, then I need more sleep than I've gotten.

5-6 hours Monday through Friday. Rarely more than that.

Between 6.5 - 8 on the weekends (usually the lower end) including going back to sleep/nap.

Sept. through June, between 7 and 8 hours. July and August about 9 hours, maybe a little less.

I sleep about 8-9 hours a night, sometimes more on the weekends. My wife thinks I sleep too much, but if I sleep any less, I just don't feel awake and alert. I also exercise pretty heavily - when I only do light workouts, I tend not to sleep as much.
I think need for sleep may be hereditary. My wife's family are generally fairly short sleepers (they only sleep 5-6 hours a night, and my wife's brother's four year old kid only sleeps like 10 hours a night, not a lot for a kid), but people in my family sleep about 8 a night, a little less on my mom's side of the family. My sister, brother, and myself all are pretty heavy sleepers, and always have been.

Around 7 hours is typical.

SophieLL · 08-02-2014, 07:10 AM

around 5-7 hours, usually 5 in week days, 6 or 7 in weekends.

I usually get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each night. But unfortunately, tonight is one of those nights, where I can't get to bed.
