how much sleep do y'all get?

[some_random_wusky]

pretty basic question.

i usually get about 6 hours of sleep. sometimes more or less based on my needs at the time.

I'll go to bed about 10:30 or 11pm, but due to the people who live in the apt. above me and their 4 year old kid that they leave stay up till about midnight or 1am, I can never fall asleep till 1am in the morning.    I try to listen to the radio to help me sleep, but it doesn't help much. Average time I get up is 8:30 or 9am. So.........on average, I get about 6-7 hours of sleep.

It depends, usually in the winter I'll sleep in later just because it's darker out. In the summer on a clearer day I'll easily wake up at 6 in the morning. I try to go to bed by 11 myself.

I have a huge problem with sleep; meaning I alter between not needing it and not able to get it. "Normal" sleeping I doubt exists for me, but if it does it is short lived. I've slept 10+ hours a night before. Other weeks I'm around 2 or 3 hours. Right now I'm averaging around 4.5 (I keep a log).

6-7 hours if I'm lucky, I sometimes stay up thinking about things in life.

[Dusty]

I usually aim for ~5 hours.

About 6-7 hours usually, but with the new cub arriving soon, probably about 3-4!

I usually can't fall asleep at all unless I have 10+ hours of time allocated for sleep, but I usually only spend about 8.5hrs sleeping.  Otherwise, I just lay in bed all night worrying about not sleeping.

I highly recommend a big box fan.  The constant droning noise of the fan creates enough background that voices and shuffling sounds are dulled out, but it's less sharp than radio static or media.  It also circulates the air and keeps everything cool.

Talk to the kids parents if that don't work talk to the landlord

Ditto to both of these. I make a concerted effort to sit in complete darkness for at least nine hours, even if I don't sleep.

And the fan is a must. I've worked nights before in a house full of day walkers and I currently live on campus (ugh) and the fan really helps drown out a lot of the noise without keeping me awake.

Or you could always aim your speakers at the ceiling and blast Godsmack or Disturbed or the like when you get up for work. -Or talk to the landlord.

i get that. i have to have a fan on while im sleeping. i cant sleep without some kinda background noise.

I tried that before. It didn't work.

I guess it's music then. I'm sure they'll love waking up to "Let the Bodies Hit the Floor" by Drowning Pool at 5 A.M.

 XD ...or record the sounds that keep you up at night, and play it back at them.  Maybe they'll be so tired from waking up at 5am everyday that they'll start going to bed earlier.
But in all seriousness, you might want to have a cordial conversation with them first.  I've watched those type of situations play out before, and when you jump straight to offense, people tend to get really aggressive and unreasonable.

I try to go to bed consistently at 11 every weeknight, and I wake up at 7 Mon-Wed and 5:30 Thurs-Fri.  Thursday I have to go to school early to help for lights for worship team, and on Friday I go working out before school with my dad. So about 7-8 hours each night.

On weekends, I go to bed between 12-2am and almost always wake up at around 10am, so about 8-10 hours.

[Rocco]

I'm a college student, it varies.

[HazardJackal]

If i sleep more than 10 hours, i'll be groggy the rest of the day.  If i get less than 6, you better hope you aren't waking me up the next morning.  Anything within that range is workable though, what really matters is the times i'm going to sleep and waking up, not the hours inbetween.  I aim for falling asleep no later than 1am, or 3 on weekends, and never getting up past 12 (aiming for 10 or 11 usually.)

And as the more keen-eyed of you may have noticed, yes, according to those guidelines i'm supposed to be asleep right now.  Goodnight. 

[Old Rabbit]

Usually between 7 and 8 hours if I don't wake up too early.  Or drink too much
caffeine before hitting the sack.

I sleep very inconsistently, but I usually get about 9 hours in every 24.

[EuthanasiaWaltz]

Usually I'll sleep at around 3 or 4 in the moring and wake up at about 10 or so. But on weekends, if I get the chance, I'll try an all-nighter. Which results in me falling asleep at 6 and waking up 2-4 in the afternoon.

[Hashira]

I can never seem to fall asleep before 3 AM, but at least I can sleep for as long as I want because I have nothing to do. Waking up around as late as 3 sometimes kinda sucks because the day is over before you know it. When school starts up again I'm going to have to wake up around 6 AM everyday, so considering that I still wont be able to fall asleep before 3 AM in the school year I'm going to go from having 10+ hours of sleep on average to less than 3 !
