How much sleep?

[Papa Deuce]

No kids, no job, no worries, no distractions.....

How much sleep would you get in an average day if all the above applied to you?

This is all the sleep you WANT... not necessarily all that you need.

Eight hours. Now that dd is older, that's actually usually how much sleep I get so it's working out well.

I hate to sleep. I really think it's one of the biggest wastes of time. I love going to bed late (the house is finally quite and peaceful), and I like getting up early. Unfortunately I have to get at least 4 hours of sleep a night, but I would want to stay up all the time without sleeping if it were possible.
I know I'm weird, but honestly that is what I would like.

I would get 8. In fact when I was laid off for 6 months I did get that much - and an hour nap - every day. It was great.

Now I get 6-7 during the week. If I am lucky, DS will sleep late on the weekend and I can get 8.

I'm the same way! Have been my whole life! I didn't know there were others like me! I get sleep because I NEED it but I hate it. I feel like I'm not living when I'm asleep. I'm always thinking "But I could be doing XYZ!"

I only like to get 7 hours of sleep or so. Any more than that gives me a headache that lasts alllllll day!

8 hours.
If I'm lucky, I get 4 or 5

BTW... I get 5 or 6 most nights... but what I WANT is 9 or 10.

I'm with you. Once all the kids are in bed and the house is quiet the last thing I want to do is give up that time. I generally go to bed late and get up early before everyone else so I have time to myself .

Isn't that weird, I have the same problem. If I sleep to much I wake up with a horrible headache around my eyes. Most nights I get around 6 hours sometimes 7 never more than that.

I get about 7-8 hours now. I would love to have 9-10.

 

[kinntj]

I get about 7 hours weekdays, but on the weekends I get 8-9 and I love it. I don't sleep a full 9, but somewhere inbetween is wonderful!

 

[princesspiglet]

During college I would get about 13 hours in a 24 hour period. That was heaven!! Now I am lucky if I can get 5 hours. I am a big sleeper, absolutley love sleep more so than anything else.

So I am going to say with no responsibilites I would like 13 again!

I would sleep like Rip Van Winkle if I had the chance. But in reality, I'm lucky if I get 6 or 7, and I have two alarm clocks to get me up.

I get way too little sleep and now that I'm in the habit of sleeping only a few hours at a time I have trouble getting more. Once in a while I force myself to sleep longer though.
