How much sleep do you get?

[yelofox]

I normaly sleep for around 4-5 hours.

I feel its all I need, yet my friend at work sleeps for 8 plus hours a night.

So im interested in finding out the average time people sleep for.

Thanks in advance

Wow so many of you took the time to reply - Thankyou x

I do try to catch some extra sleep on monday my day offf.

If I know I have nothing to do and dont have work I can sleep for 12 given the chance.

If I get a clear 8 hours sleep, I find I wake up without the need of an alarm clock. Less than that, even by half an hour, I need the alarm. Anything less than 6 hours I'm like a bear with a sore head for the day.

I can't sleep more than 8 hours, my body just wakes up, which is annoying at a weekend LOL.

I like to get about 8 hours sleep, but will be fine on about 7 as well. Any less than than that, and will feel a bit tired during the day. I have heard that you should not have tea, coffee, coke or any caffeine at all after 1pm if you want to sleep at night. Sleep with the window open, and in the dark obviously. There are a few other ways I could mention to help you sleep, but can't mention them on a family website. Will be happy to give you all ladies a demonstration though.

Seriously though, you can buy a band which will help you sleep. Can't tell you if it works, as have only just ordered it, but will fill you all in after have had it a while (the anti-insomnia band, that is)! See website below:
