How many hours of sleep do you get, average?

I usually NEED at least 7-8 hours of sleep but I don't always get it. And if I'm short a total of 5 1/2 hours during the week, I make up just about exactly 5 1/2 hours on the weekend when I don't need to get up for classes.

I average ten, but I can still nap during the day. Yet even if I only sleep five hours and don't grab a nap during the day, I still can't fall asleep early that night.

6-7 hours. Which is, like, supposed to be the minimum. I think? 😕

7-8hrs. There have been studies that show that 6-7hrs are the optimal sleeping hrs in order to be at your full potential all day long. I can't vouch for it, but I know that when I sleep too much like 9-10hrs, I feel like a vegetable and lazy for the rest of the day.

I don't have to feel bad now! Yay! But, that's interesting. Most of the time, I conk out midday. I guess it just depends on the individual person as to their target optimal sleep hours.

Oh, so that's why I nap! But I'm such a pain to wake up, everyone just prefers to leave me sleeping...

8, 10, 12 hours of sleep? 😲
I need 4 or 5 and i never have naps, i'm not a cat. I like sleeping, but when i worked and studied i didn't have time...so now i got used to it...and i try not to be online till 3am pretending to study so much 🤢
Even when i was a kiddo i needed 5h (hm, maybe that's the reason i never reached those 190cm male average in my family) 😐

I make sure to get around 7 hours of sleep every night, if I don't I don't function very well. I get in a state of not being able to function fully physical nor fully mental, which obviously is bad and can really kill my mood.
Do you know what people did in the old days when they had secrets they didn't want to share?
They'd climb a mountain, find a tree, carve a hole in it, whisper the secret into the hole and cover it up with mud. That way, nobody else would ever learn the secret...

I went to bed at five am, woke up at noon, cuddled back up with a dog and slept for another two hours. I feel pretty good right now, but I think I want some mocha.

6 and a half hours usually.
I sleep 6 hours at night and I wake up automatically after those said hours. In the afternoon, I'd take an half hour nap.
