"A Human needs at least 8 hours sleep right...."

I really feel wrecked after having just about 6 hours sleep last night. Throat is irritating so can't talk properly and head feels heavy. I wonder if anyone can has less then 8 hours sleep.
How much sleep do you people get?

7 hours weeknights.

10/11 weekends.

Mine varies a lot...

No matter how early, or how late I go to bed, it usually takes me a good hour-or-two to actually get comfortable, and go to sleep.

And even then I tend to wake up once-or-twice at 4 in the morning!

I always wake-up early though - I'm not really one for sleeping-in.
I just can't sleep-in - it's too hard for me -- I always wake-up wanting to do something! I can barely even lie-in 'till later on, either.

If I wake up at 6, and can't get back to sleep, I'll usually get up, then.


I don't think I ever get the full-8-hours sleep...
Maybe 7 - at the most - though.

Sniper's talking about the average human.

Agreed, which is stupid because I go to bed about midnight. Even on weeknights I only get about 6 hours a night, which probably explains why I'm tired all the time...

I average about 5 at the most. Although past week it has been 4. Can go for sleep quite easily for 4 days. No side effects, no crabbitness (well no more than the days when I used to get 8 or 9).

About 5, maybe 6 hours some days. Who wants to sleep when there is so much to do ? Admittedly sometimes feel a bit wrecked but a coffee or something usually does the job.

Were you drinking the night before?

I spleep for about 7 hours on a school night and about 10 hours on a weekend night.

Wasn't it rumoured that Margaret Thatcher only splept for 3 hours a night or something when she ran the country?

Think so, don't know an actual source for it but I know I've read it somewhere.

I broke down her door and asked her

She said yes
