About 7. Would like a couple more but I have a 5 month old so at the moment I'm clinging on to those 7hr stretches for dear life!

6-7 hours.

Usually up to 8hrs but it depends if Ddogs wake us up wanting to go out (like last night).
I was always an early bird (would think nothing of getting up at 5am for work) but since retiring it is a great feeling to be able to roll over and go back to sleep (Ddogs permitting of course).

Between 5 and 6 hours mostly, with the occasional longer sleep of maybe 7 hours. That's fine for me. I'm good on that.

I'm 57 now and finding that I need less sleep as time goes by. To be honest, I've rarely been a full 8 hours a night person even as a child/teenager. It just never happened that way for me and I was fine.

We are all different, and I think that sometimes people do get very hung up on the notion that absolutely every adult needs 8 hours per night and children 10 - 12 hours. Yes, children do need more than adults as they are growing etc. It varies though a lot more than people think it does.

8-9 hours. I use a sleep tracker on my watch to analyse the type and quality of sleep.

If I'm anxious about something, which I was last week, a total of four to five hours in one hour slots. Last night, eight hours which was great and I feel like a new person.

Nytol makes me very groggy the next day but I use it if I'm desperate and it's a weekend. I do find yoga nidra very helpful though.

I'm 54 so possibly menopause related.
