    Just wondering how much sleep everyone gets, and how you feel about....do you feel like you are getting enough? Want more? Do you nap? Do you sleep too much?

    For me it's usually 7-9 hours on weekdays, which is enough. But on weekends... I can easily sleep for +12 hours.

    I don't take naps. I just can't fall asleep during the day (unless I'm reeealy exhausted).

    How 'bout you, Hatter?

    Well, it's a mixed response from me... I get 4-6 on weekdays because of extracurricular activities and my homework load each night. On weekends, I can get up to 7-9 because I want to sleep in a bit, but still get up and be semi-productive

    yeh I forgot to answer my own poll. I take 4 hours.
    Some nights I get less than that, but 4 is norm for me.

    For awhile I wasn't sleeping at nite and I would sleep like an hour or two after school.

    I sleep between 5-6 hours a day, sometimes less. I can't sleep much and I prefer this way, the more I sleep, the more I either feel tired or want to sleep, so :\

    I'm a biphasic sleeper, so I sleep for 4-5 hours every night and nap for 2 hours during the day. I haven't been taking that 2-hour nap lately, which has really taken a toll on my sleep schedule. ):

    If you feel tired when you sleep then your probably overexhausted which really isn't good for you anyway I get 7-9 never less then that on weekdays because im a real dick when i am tired as some of you on ec may know XD

    I tend to get about 6-7, and that's a little short for what I need. Largely it's that I don't get to bed early enough. I forgot my movie/tv external hard drive at my parents today, though, and it could be a couple of weeks until I get it back...so I might get more sleep.

    During the week I usually get around 8 hours and on the weekend I get about 7. And some days I'll get 9, it just depends on the week really.

    I try to get 7-9 hours of sleep a night, or else I get really tired through out the day. It is more difficult now because I get up for work so early, so sometimes I end up napping in the afternoons.

    I get eight hours a night pretty consistently, since my schedule allows me to sleep until I naturally wake up. I don't nap because when I do, I usually wake up feeling FAR worse than I did before I lay down for my nap.

    Me too, exactly. (except I've never had a nap in my post-3-year-old life so I'm not sure how I would feel afterwards)

    Usually I sleep around 7-9 hrs per night, depending on IF I am worrying about something bad enough that I don't sleep at all.

    I wish I got more, 7-8 is not enough for me. I always have a hard time falling asleep and getting up.

    6. I'd like to be in the 8-9 range, but then I'd have to make healthier choices, like not posting on EC all the time.

    I sleep 4-6 hours weekdays, and make up for it on weekends.

    And I nap a lot, too, haha. At least an hour and a half every day...

    I used to sleep 6-8 but lately I've been sleeping, 3-5 hours. Usually I'm not that tired, but when think about only sleeping for a few hours I get pretty tired.

    Usually around 6... But then it'll catch up and I will go to bed early one night. It's easier for me to stay up then get up at 6am for work

    4-6 on weekdays, and 10+ on weekends.
