    how many hours sleep do you need? POLL
    Just wondered how many hours sleep everyone gets?

    I have this stupid thing where i cant go to bed at night until about 4am or something ridiculous. Its like im scared to sleep.

    But i need at least 12 hours sleep. I also cant remember the last time i woke up feeling refreshed.

    Anyone else get this?

    Hey it depends on my schedule for the week, if its hardcore (exam revision) then maybe 5-6 hrs per night for about 1 week. If i need to focus during the day then I will give myself about 9 hrs of sleep per night.

    So on average about 7-8 hrs of sleep.

    I am either an insomniac or exhausted constantly.... OR I'm doing what I'm doing to myself tonight which is continuing to pull all nighters before deadlines even though I'm no longer in uni and meant to be a grown up...

    Think everyone ebbs and flows and changes as you get older... it changes with your mood too - depression's a big one as well - completely messes with your sleeping patterns.

    I'm a person who sleeps less, no more than 6 hours. On weekends, eight.

    Sounds like you might have insomnia. There's plenty of help out there, and trust me, if you can, get some drugs from your doctor. Sleeping pills are goooood....

    If you are sleeping 12 hours and still don't wake up refreshed...you could have sleep disorder...

    I usually need 6-7 hours, but I voted for 7-8 hours in the poll. When I get less than 6 hours I feel like **** in the morning.

    Which reminds me, I have to be up for uni in five hours... I should possiby go to bed. Oops.

    I tend to sleep for about 9-10 hours, but I have been known to sleep longer than that when really tired. It also doesn't matter how long I'm asleep for as it always takes me a couple of hours before I start feeling 'awake'.

    My sleeping pattern gets completely messed up because of it. >.<

    It depends upon how much sleep I got the night before, and if I'm home, if I napped during the day on my luxury sofa

    If I get less than 6 hours sleep, you can bet I will need 8 or 9 the next night, OR I will oversleep :/
