5 - 7, but only because I have a newborn baby. Before it was 8. I struggle without sleep so I really prioritise it.

Not enough!
Go to bed anywhere between 21.00-00.00 (working from home but work a 24hr shift pattern).

DS usually wakes anywhere between 23.00-02.00 and can be up for up to 4 hours and/or starts his day at 05.00. DH is very good at sharing the night waking load and will do the early get up and I will stay in bed until 07.00.

What my problem is, is that it takes me 1+ hour to fall asleep each time, and I find it very difficult to sleep whilst Ds is awake even though he's with DH.

Between 4-6 hours. Newborn and toddler combo. Managing, just!

About 4 to 5 hours max. Rheumatoid Arthritis and the cocktail of drugs I'm on messes up my sleep.

This morning has been good, slept until 3:35am before my body told me to get painkillers.

I'm very lucky if I get 4hrs. Always been a bad sleeper but it's getting worse.
My baby sleeps through every night and I'm up most of the night every night. She doesn't nap so I'm permanently shattered, especially as I'm back at work full time too.

I think around 5ish hours but broken into chunks - always had issues sleeping but my insomnia is terrible at the moment. Sometimes I’m awake not even half an hour after falling asleep........ It’s the broken sleep which makes me exhausted, if I could get 5/6 hours unbroken I’d feel a new woman!

Lots on my mind at the moment

4-ish hours

Been up since 1.00 Sad

You're probably getting a self-selecting set of insomniacs asking at this time of night though.

The 8+hourers are all fast asleep (lucky sods)
