I don't sleep much in the day. Occasionally. Once very recently I did fall asleep in the afternoon and the phone really shocked me into wakefulness! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) But I had been up from 5am till 11pm the night before.

But maybe 5-6 hours a night will do.

I enjoy running around naked on hills too much at night to allow myself to sleep all that much!

I average about 5 hours.

Well I used to sleep about 6 hours a night but lately my sleep has been disturbed by this weird guy running around naked on top of the hills screaming at the top of his head "I might not have my grade 5 piano but I've got Ad-lib and I'm in love"!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)


The cheek of it, I'm impressed I can be heard in London, maybe if I shout a little louder I'll be heard in Loch Ness!

Too few....... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ....and junior isn't to blame either - it's just my lack of self-discipline and my love of reading!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) (Or should that be another (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) ?)

During the week, if i'm at school/work, i generaly get between 8 and 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep. At the weekend i can easily sleep for 12 hours. Although I tend to be more tired after waking up from 12 hours sleep than after 8 hours ...

I need at least 8. Have needed more since I went deaf (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Go figure. Only thing I can think of is that I have to concentrate a great deal to hear conversation, and get tired.
Was absolutely awful when the girls were babies, could barely string a sentence together.

Around 8 is good for me. My natural body clock is set at going to bed between 12 and 1 and getting up between 8 and 9. Unfortunately, even if I have to get up at 5.30 or 6 (which I do two days a week), I find I can't go to bed earlier than normal - so I end up feeling shattered all day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) .

When I was diagnosed with severe exhaustion a few years ago, I think I didn't do much else other than sleep for the first month...sometimes I would feel as if I'd just walked into a wall and had to go to sleep there and then - quite often I couldn't even get up the stairs or undress or anything, I just had to SLEEP.

So I am pretty jealous of all these people who can survive on 3-6 hours a night!

If they gave out Olympic medals for sleeping, I guess I'd be in with a pretty good chance of gold... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Before I hurt my back, I used to need 7-8 hours. Any less than 6 and I was hopeless all day.

Now I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 hours, and find myself sleeping during the day (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)

Same here. As I teach quite often until 9pm, I need time to 'wind down' afterwards, so often don't get to bed before 12. People think I'm dreadful for getting up often at 9am, but then they don't finish work at 9pm the night before.


My problem is the day when I teach til 9, sometimes it's a bit later if a student wants to talk afterwards - takes me ages to wind down, I never get to bed until 12 at the earliest, then I'm up at 6am, teaching 7 classes, choir and hymn practice plus my own choir in the evening - so I'm BUSHED the day after (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) !

Usually around 7 or 8 hours (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But I LOVE having a good proper long sleep!
I have survived without sleep for 37 hours though. I think that's pretty impressive!

Over the holidays, i've been getting about 12-14 hours sleep! but on school days, i get about 7, and its torture! i go to bed at about 11, and have to be up at six, so at the weekend, i have a lie in and get 12 hours, but from september, i dont get that any more, seeing as i have to take an early bus for my piano lessons and choir rehersals/new organist job.
