For me, it's never enough: about 5 hours. My days start early and end late. Sigh.

Usually around 6 1/2. I go to bed at 10 and get up at 5:30. Unfortunately, I usually wake up around 12 and 3, for about half an hour to an hour each time. :-(  

Been doing that for about a year and have yet to figure out why. But on those 1 or 2 days a month I sleep through the night.... glorious. It makes SO much of a difference!

I aim for 6 but usually come in around 5.5 hrs.  Once every couple weeks I'll have a crash out and get 8 or 9 but not very often....not ideal.  I could definitley use an extra hour in the day.

I try for 8 or so but I get up early, (4am), so it's hard to get to bed that early.

I'm usually right around 7.5 to 8 hours.  Go to bed between 9:30 and 10:30 and get up at 5:45.

I try to get 8-9 hours a night, but just graphed my sleep for the year on Trainingpeaks and see that its typically been 7-7.5.  I feel better with more sleep - I need to work on that.

I plan for between 8 and 9 but usually get between 7 and 8.  If I don't get at least 7 I'm dragging the next day...I wish I could survive on less but such is life.

I average about 7 per night, which is a big improvement than when I was at my last job. Last year I was getting 5-6 and I was NOT happy about it!

Yeah, I am none too happy about my 5-ish hours/night but between working out/training, work, commute, and critter care that's all I've got left.

I aim for 7 but depending on how quickly I fall asleep it could be a lot less.  Before I started triathlon it would take me an average of 2-4 hours to fall alseep.  I also try to sneak a nap in at least a few days a week as well.  I teach, so this past summer when I was doing bigger hours I could sleep up to 10 hours and the recovery was so much faster.  I've been dragging since we started back.

+/- 8 hours, which is wonderful and glorious after years of 1-3 hour stretches while nursing babies for years on end.  Everyone sleeps through the night now.

+/- 6 hrs - either I workout late and can't get to sleep or I work out early.  Between FT job and being on call 2 nights a week, class2-3 nights a week, coaching soccer, and training I seem to be letting the amount of sleep suffer... Oh yeah, very little to no caffeine...  I am perpetually tired now...  Something is going to have to give before too long..

I try to get 7 hours during weekdays (often is closer to 6.5) and 8 or more during the weekends.

Once I get the 7 hour thing down better I'll shoot for 7:15, then 7:30 during weekdays.  I find it's easier to adjust bedtime gradually than all at once.

I try and get 7 - 8 hours a night.  For the last week, I've gone to bed around 9:30 and wake up at 3:30 due to work stress.  It sucks getting up that early and not falling back asleep.

Usually about 5.5-6.5 during the week.  Try to catch up on the weekends.  Never been a great sleeper.

I voted 6 to 8 hours but that's really only when I fall asleep putting the kids to bed. If I manage to get through that awake, I usually don't go to bed until at least midnight. Up by 6... I stumble through the week half awake, hoping for one "sleep in day" on the weekend.

Yow. Looks like I am a bit of an outlier here and am the only one who will admit to being a night owl. If it weren't for realities of life like working I'd probably drift to a schedule where bedtime would be 4am and wakey wakey would be noon or 1pm! 9 hours plus still feels about like what my body really wants. Less than that and I can function fine if I stay busy. More and I just feel a bit detached.

Work for me includes some evening stuff (maintenance windows, we calls 'em) and being on call. If we have a lot of that going on I can easily get into a 2am-9am kind of schedule for sleep. Lately it has been 12:30-8 because work has been relatively undemanding. If I only get that 7 or so at night I need a nap after work.

I have a love-hate relationship with sleep.  I love getting lots of sleep at night, as long as that doesn't mean waking up past 8:30.  I love mornings.  On the other hand, I hate going to sleep and I hate taking naps and I hate being tired in the middle of the day.  I just feel like sleep is a huge waste of time.  Even at night, I will lay in my bed with the lamp on and read until I physically cannot keep my eyes open any longer.  In fact, I don't even turn the light off.  I let my boy who always comes to bed after I'm already asleep do it.  I resist like a little kid, except without all the screaming.
