How many hours do you sleep a night (avg)?

[Xavior]

Watched a 60 Minutes report on sleep deprivation.

Test subjects which slept around 4-5 hours per day for a week had a very high risk of type-2 diabetes. Sleep deprivation is also being linked to obesity, as the hormone which tells you that you are hungry gets produced more (even when you just ate). Sleep refreshes your memory, as subjects could remember more the next day when having slept the night as opposed to studying all night. Subjects which were sleep deprived reacted stronger to negative comments and were more easily angered. Subjects which were impaired still thought they could drive a car even when they obviously were in no shape to do so. And mice which were starved of sleep started dying 5 days into the test (take that however you wish).

Just a few things i thought i would share :)

I'm lucky if I can get 4 hours a night...its pretty much worthless to even try before like 2 or 3 in the morning anymore....

So that's why I'm a complete ******* to everyone at work....go figure

[Max Logan]

mostly 5-6 or less

work, work, work! pffft

anywhere between 2 and 10 horus is common for me.
sometimes theres 5 days in a row wher i don't get more than 12 hours sleep in total.

I have these 4 hour nights, like the one i just woke up from and then usually sometime during the week I get a better nights sleep. So I'd say I average 6 hours.

[Crimson Shadow]

Didn't we already have this poll once?

Anyways I usually get about 6-7 hours.

[Disorder]

For some unknown reason, the older I get, the earlier I wake, no matter how late or how much I might drink the night before.. ugh!!:mad:

[Mike Hunt]

i sleep like all the time even when i'm not like sleeping and stuff i feel like i'm sleeping so i dont know if i'm really sleeping or if i'm like just not sleeping so i would have to say on like a scale from one to ten how many hours i like sleep everyday it would be around like 12 or something because like i never know if i'm sleeping or not

[Mahdi]
