I've had about six. I went to bed at 2. But woke up at 5.30 and then 7.24...I think because of the heat and I was only lay on the bed with no duvet.

Napoleon slept for 4 hours a day, and look at what he achieved. The basic rule of thumb is: (the more sleep you have the less stuff you can do)/(Level of tiredness)
Hope that little formula helps you decide your optimum sleep allowance. :smile:

8 hours is fine, but the specialists are reckoning that any more than 7 makes you die earlier! Don't ask me, just what I read! On average though, 6-8 hours per night (depending on how active your day has been) is adequate.

Wow!! I LOVE my sleep!! Depends what time I have to be up and stuff, but I usually get about 8 - 9 hours, sometimes more!! Cos I'm on study leave at the mo, Ive been going to bed around 11pm ish, and waking up about 9.30!! Although it's not normally this much, I do usually get at least 8 hours. I thought this was good?! Lol.

I sleep in 4 hour stints (this is the ideal) Or multiples of four. I can function better on 4 hours than on 6. Odd I know!! :confused:

I get anywhere from 6 to 9 hours sleep. I have the week off, so at the mo it's more like 9, but when I go back to college next week it'll slip back down again.
