[Tech_Dreamer]

Wanted to create a poll, but i think individual thoughts/comments seems good, so post away..

Post Weekdays & weekends split,

 

Also what do you think is the preferred sleep duration that is required by a normal person?

[Excon]

I get about 4 hours a night on weekdays and 8 on weekends. I manage just fine on this and have been doing it for over a year now

[SAV1OUR]

during school weeks 6 and weekends 9+

[SeriouslyMikey]

About five to seven. 

[loccilucas]

about 6-7 weekdays and weekends.

[eLucid]

Five hours is plenty for myself. I feel groggy if I get more than 5 hours of sleep.

[Thorium19]

During the week, I get about 7 hours sleep, then at the weekends I get anywhere between 6-10 hours sleep, depending on the events of the day and whether I just want to stay up watching the TV.

[NUFCThomas]

7 hours at the most on weekdays because of school, weekends 10-11

[GhostWindGamer]

On school days between 6 and 8 hours and on weekends I usually don't sleep

[Marvzl1357]

I don't sleep, when my brain needs rest, half of it shuts down while the other one stays awake, they alternate like this for about 2-3 hours per side. Pretty much like dolphins. Gotta stay alert, you never know what might happen. 

 

Jk. Porbably about 8 ish hours depending on the workload at school. (usually sleep at 11, get up at 7). If the workload is real, then I work until 12 to 1 ish

Three to seven hours on average... Minimum of three hours of sleep to maintain SAN points during daytime...

Not enough lately..... Monday - Thursday I usually get 3-4 hours of sleep and then I completely crash on friday and sleep for 12 - 15 hours straight. The weekend is fine again, with 8 or so hours of sleep. Anything from 7 - 9 hours seems ideal for me, I think that would be a healthy amount especially if it was consistent.

7-8 hours. My mom thinks I need more

[DarrenP]

Like 14+ a day... That's going to change when i start work next week. 

[HippY]

6-7 7 days a week

I took Monday off from Work, as 10 hours of HC studying and no sleep mixed with stressed out work does not blend well

At least I do not have social life next to it lol

[WereCat]

Depends.. if I have morning shift I sleep under 4 hours.

Night shift I sleep around 6-7 hours.

Day shift around 6-8 hours.

Weekends 11-13 hours.

[Ialyrn]

[KirbyTech]

2-6 and about once a month I'll crash for 12 hours or so. 

[Jumper118]

[ObeseWalrus]

7 or 8 on weekdays and like 12 on weekends.

[JR1911]

Weekdays about 7h, weekends about 8-9h.

There is no preferred sleep duration because sleep requirements for humans is dependent on a lot of factors (some you control, some you don't).

 

That being said the ideal sleep duration appears to be 7-8 hours for most people, with some folks fine with 6ish hours and a smaller genetic lottery group that gets by fine on 4-5 hours.  And of course there's the other end of the spectrum, people that can get by on 7-8 but prefer 9-12.

 

For myself, I'm just about perfect with 7.5 hours but I usually get 8 to 8.5.  Sleep is amazing.  I can make do with much less with regularity but the performance difference is palpable, not to mention skipping sleep is just bad for you short, medium, and long term.  I maintain a sleep schedule and don't deviate unless it's an emergency, 7.5-8.5 every single night.
