Default How much would you get if you could?

How much sleep would you get everyday if you could?

I have great dreams at times, better than TV. So went with 10-12.

I get between 8 and 10 hours daily

I NEED my sleep and am a raging terror when I don't get enough. I have never one who gets by on 4, 5 or 6 hours, I need at LEAST 8, 9 is optimal, sometimes if I've had a stressful day or feel ****ty it's 10.

I'm lucky to have a job that allows me to go in late...and no one really polices when I go in, as long as I work 8 hours a day and do my job it's all good.

I haven't used an alarm clock in 6 months and my life is all the better for it...

I LOVE sleep.

I never seem to get enough sleep. Before I had kids I used to sleep through anything.

I was thinking that this poll was about something different...

Oh, nevermind.

Do you sleep during the day to make up for it? I can't believe a person could function on that little amount of sleep for a long period of time.

I usually get 6-7 a night (hours, that is). I would love to always have 8 hours a night; more than that and my mind makes me get up.

if I have a major major headache I will take a nap (Between 1-2 hours long), otherwise I am up all day long.

I've been a night-owl all my life (Never could sleep at night as an infant/child/teenager), yesterday I drove to pay bills, shop for house & pet supplies & constructed an over-the-toilet shelf while only with 2-3 hours sleep.

I had a burning sensation start behind my ear, go up my right cheek across to my nose, and back down my neck so I was in major pain late Thursday/early Friday til the meds knocked me out for 2-3 hours - Ah brain caused nerve damage, aint it great? Just think in the near future I could end up paralized and/or dead from this (I noticed that I am now walking into stuff because my balance is FUBAR'd - Fun **** to walk into a display at a music retailer )

I need at least 8-9 hours of sleep. I don't get that much sleep if hubby is home. He's an early bird and I am more of a night owl now that I am older.
