    Sometimes less than 7 if there is a good program on TV I am interested in or if I have a book I can't put down. My internal alarm clock is apparently set for 7 a.m. and no matter how late I stay up it wakes me up at 7.

    My sleep is very important to me, always has been. We are normally in bed by 9p.m. and up around 6 a.m.
    Even when I was in high school I didn't stay up past 10 o'clock. My mom said "Wow, you must have been a fun date" :D

    except on Saturday, when we lay in bed until noon, sometimes we sleep then, or just eat crackers.

    Depends on what time of the yr it is for me. Summer i get 3-5 hours sleep a night. Winter i can sleep up to 12 hours with no problems, and have a nap during the day too. Sring and fall is usually about 7-8 hours a night. I go with the sun.

    I have M.E. and rest and sleep is very important to me at the moment i am sleeping often a good 12 hours, at other times i am lucky to get 4 hours that is when i end up riveted to the sofa ,fit for nothing, feeling rather ill. Interesting how we all need different amounts of sleep and the season cycles affect people

    I'm a bit of a night owl and usually don't go to bed until around 2-3am. As I am in the house on my own all day it doesn't really matter when I get up but I tend to only be able to sleep for around 5-6 hours a night. I sometimes have a quick 'wolf nap' (around 10 - 15 minutes) during the day though.

    Those are called 'power naps' by most people here, but I really like the name 'wolf nap' better. I take them too after I have been working in the yard.

    I feel like I love sleep more than most. I NEED 7-8 hours to function properly in the morning, but have no problems with sleeping 10 to 12 hours if I have nothing going on and can sleep in, which is not often.

    WOW...I wish I could sleep like all of you..I am only a 5-6 hour or less. I am a very early riser...no one else is up in the house, the cat used to keep me company until she passed..the dogs are sleepy heads. If I am worried about something it ends up the less. ..Sherry
