How much sleep do you get?

[rumandbiscuits]

Sorry wasn't sure where else to post not quite an AIBU, but I could make it into one I suppose.

Just interested to know on average how much sleep you get every night? How old you are (if you want to disclose) and your sex (again if you want to disclose).

I will start I am a female, 26 and get on average 7.5 hours a night. Is this unreasonable in your opinion?

Female. 28. 5/6 hours average a night.

Female, 39 and get about 6.5-7 hours sleep. Not enough for me really so I normally end up napping in the afternoon

Ideally I need at least another hour.

8-10 hours a night although it's fairly broken up into chunks. I have Fibro so anything less and I can't function.

Female. Early 60s. 5/6 hours per night.

Six hours is usually the max, and is good enough.

I would like to say I use the extra hours for something productive, but I don't.

Ah sorry I'm a 33 year old female.

Do you feel rested OP, would you stay in bed & sleep longer if you didn't have other stuff to do?

5-6 hours most nights 7-8 once a week- I manage, 41 and female

33 year old female, I average 5-6 hours a night. Pre DTs, I averaged 8-9 hours.

Normally 7-8 hours. I know I need my sleep and will prioritise it over other things. I slept 9 hours last night and it was amazing!

32, female and I get about 4-7 hours sleep, though I have a 4 month old so the 4-7 hours is usually broken and followed up by several coffees.

Then when baby is staying with granny I can easily sleep 15 hours straight. These are my fav nights hahahah

god I miss sleep

Female, 25, 4-5 hours , not enough

23, female. I get around 6 broken up hours of sleep, max 3 hours a time, due to baby and being pregnant.

Mid 70s female - 3-4 hours if I'm lucky - wake up as tired as when I went to bed. Have arthritis and wake if a bit of my body is at the wrong angle. Try to have a snooze mid afternoon.

45, female. 5-6 per night. I am a teacher and never start working until DC are asleep, so usually start planning / marking / work correspondence around 9pm, and hit the hay between midnight and 1am.
Wish I could get more sleep in term time.

OP did you mean reasonable as in it might be too much or too little? I get about the same but often get told that it's a very good sleep. Female 34.

Female, 50. Anything between 3.5 - 6.5 hours, broken. I'm a wreck!

Female, 35 and I get anywhere between 4 and 8 hrs sleep a night.

But I have an early rising 4yr old and a 6mth old that doesn't sleep through.
DH takes them early in the morning if he knows it's been a bad night and I get longer sleep but it's always broken.

I've become used to this amount but I really need 7-8hrs to fully function.

Not enough or more to the point I get poor quality sleep. My baby will only sleep in my arms and am awake frequently feeding.

42 year old woman. I have CFS (and am a single mum, have a full time job and a dog). I work from home which helps with my fatigue. When I’m well I sleep 9 hrs a night. I’m not balancing my energy well at the moment so I’m sleeping 10 - 11hrs/night (more if I can get it!)

FML.

Female, 38, 2 small children.

Female, 30. Usually 8 hours.
Currently 4-5 (newborn)

Male, 31, average 5.3 hours on my fitbit, and that’s with sleeping tablets.

Female, 39 I aim to have 7 hours a night during the week. How undisturbed this is, depends on how often the kids (4 and 7) wake up. Sometimes I can sleep through other times I can be up 2 or 3 times during the night. Weekends I aim for about 8-9 hours, again above scenario applies. I need sleep to function and I don't think YABU.
