I get 8. My contract allows 2 15 min breaks and a 30 min lunch.

I aim for 7.5 hours per night ..... that is what I need - but I also suffer sleeping problems as a result of the happy pills I am on - so I just got with what I got and I figure you can never really catch up .......

I get 5 to 6....nomrally have to force myself to go to sleep around 11pm or so, and am up at 5am for work at 6am. On weekends, without the alarm, I'll still wake by 7am......I miss the days when I could sleep til 2pm

I remember when I was a kid, going to my grandmothers in the Summer....I'd get up around 7:30 or 8:00.....Parents and Grandparents were in the Breakfast Room...already had breakfast...Smelled like coffee and cigarettes.....I thought grown ups never slept!
Now that I'm in their age category, I understand..
About 6 on a good night.....I can't sleep in, no matter if I'm home, on vacation, whatever....6 hours.
Anything else is a bonus, and rarely happens...
However, on my day off I have been known to take a nap in the afternoon...just because I can.

I love to sleep.....I love to nap....
Usually 6-8 hours at night and maybe a 20 minute nap on a day off......
I can't really 'sleep in' anymore.....I do envy the power sleeping that my teenager does.
I have occasional bouts of insomnia and they thoroughly pi$$ me off....

When I went to college, my mom actually told me, "now you KNOW you need more sleep than the other girls..." she was right!
I truly function well only if I get 8 hours a night. 6 or less for more than one night and I can totally tell that I'm not functioing quite right.
