Can you function on that amount of sleep? Some people can. But if I don't get 8-9 hours, I'm in a semi-stupor all day.

Usually I try to be in bed by 9:30 and get up at 5:30 for work. On weekends, I stay up till 2 or 3 adn wake by 10. When I get 8 hours, I wake up... like clockwork.

actually i can, i am one of those on the go-go-go type of people~ if by the chance i can sleep 8-9 hrs i am in a hazy daze the rest of the day~ i was on ambien once when 1 of the babies i watch was shaken by her father (she's o.k. now) but it was so disturbing to me, i couldn't sleep at all, so my Dr gave me some ambien & i couldn't sleep on that either

~ maybe i'm one of those "i'll sleep when i die"

type people~

I dont seem to get much more than 6 hours either tho I do try

thats apparently why I wake up at 2am.........sometimes Im able to go back to sleep, but mostly I just say the heck with it and get up.

Fall is really here in my neck of the woods, the wind is really gusting and blowing all the leaves down...

Ohhhh. See, I'm very low energy. It's caused relationship problems in the past ("You never want to do anything!," etc.).

Another issue for me is that I *cannot* sleep when it's daylight outside. Even if I stay up until 3am, I will wake up whenever the sun comes up.

I'm in bed by 11pm, usually up around 7:30am. I'd love to go to bed earlier and get up around 5 or 6am, as I was raised to keep farmer's hours. But my boyfriend doesn't get off work until 8pm, so that kinda puts the kibosh on that.

Good God - if I could sleep all the time I would...

Typically I go to bed between 11 and 1am. And I get up between 9 and 11am. I LOVE that I can just hop into work anytime I want...it really allows me to get the amount of sleep I want.

Lately, though I've been trying to cap my sleep at 8 hours....

I used to be such a night owl. Worked 3p-11p for years, loved it. I'd go to bed around 2am. get up by 11am.

Over the past 5 or 6 years, I somehow switched.

Yes, I got a day job, but I don't find it tortuous to be up early anymore. Weekdays I'm usually in bed between 10pm - 11:30pm (depending on what's on TV

) I try to get up by 7am so I can work out before work, but that only actually happens about once a week. It's usually 7:30 or so.

Weekends are hit & miss. If I'm at home doing nothing, I can easily pass out by 10pm. If I'm out & about or drinking, I can easily stay up until 3am. Either way, I'm good on 7.5-8.5 hours of sleep. More or less & I feel like crap.
