The average adult should get 7-8 hours of sleep, teens need around 9.5 hours, and preteens are supposed to sleep for about 10 hours a night. But how much sleep do you get, really?

I get about 6.5 hours during the week and about 10 on the weekends. It averages out to be enough sleep, I suppose.

I try to get 8 hours on weekday nights, but I usually only managed 6 - 7. On the weekend nights I get about 11 hours though because I sleep in, so that's good

Is it true that people that get less than average amount of sleep, live longer? Or is QI telling lies?

I wonder how that would work...

(Slightly off topic, but thank you for reminding me that QI was on tonight! Lol I just had a bit of a panic thinking I'd missed HIGNFY )

Huh, that's interesting. I googled, and this article tries to explain why short sleepers live longer. It seems that people who naturally only need 6 or so hours of sleep live longer. The rest of us still need to get 8 or so hours.

=O QI would never lie to us! Don't even suggest such a thing, you will ruin my perception of the world!

Erm, anyway, I haven't been sleeping well lately...probably about 6 hours lately. I try for 8, though, usually...I just don't tend to get it. =P

Being a college student, I find it VERY important to sleep well. Of course that means I have to be organized to avoid the need for all nighters. :-/

Usually about 6 to seven hours. Hardly enough.

I would say for the most part, 8-10. Considering the fact that half of my classes start at 12:00PM.

I get 4-6 most of the time. Some nights I'll get 1-2 hours. On weekends I sleep a little more then usual. so i voted 4-6.

Last year, I got (at most) 7 1/2 hours of sleep a night.
This year, it's 8 1/2. Yay for switching schools!
It's still not enough. Not even close.
I always fall asleep on the bus to school.
Last year, I used to fall asleep in class. Now I don't.
If I didn't take medications, I probably couldn't sleep at all.

Usually on weekdays about 8 hours, and on weekends about 7 hours. I never sleep in. On weekends I go to sleep at 10 or 10:30 and wake up at about 5 or 5:30, I like to wake up early (at least early for me).

4-6 hours on weekdays, usually. Though on Fridays and Saturdays I get like, 10-12 hours of sleep....

I usually get about 7 hours of sleep....I'm homeschooled (blah T_T) so I don't have to get up until about 10:30 anyway, but I stay up really late drawing and stuff.

Oh, and Saturday is my RP night, so I normally don't get any sleep then

4-6 on weekdays, lots and lots on weekends! =D
