    If I have to be at work at 8 AM, I'm going to sleep no earlier than 3 AM. Probably 4 AM. ... I'll get up at 7, so that's about three hours.

    But if I don't have work, I'll go to bed earlier and sleep in. 6~8 easy. Sometimes I'll even nap all day!

    4 hours sleep when i have impending assignment
    6 hours when i have busy schedule and anxious
    8 hours if im tired.

    The best part of the 4 hours part is that you can sleep again for half an hour or 1 hour and you feel you have slept the equal amount of 6.

    This needs multiple choices... Some days - 3-4 hours. Other days - 12-16 hours. Perfect days - 8 hours. Usually 5, 6, 7, 9, depending on what I have planned for the following day and how late I went to sleep. I'm unable to follow a schedule, it's a psychological issue. I tried taking pills to schedule my sleep, but even that fell through cause I couldn't follow the schedule for taking the pills and eventually didn't feel like taking them cause I didn't feel any benefits. They were herbal and harmless, guess that's why they didn't just put me out the minute I took them. Anyway, it's close to 5 am and I still have work at noon tomorrow. I should go to bed and catch 5 hours maybe. What a timing to see this post.

    Edit: Every once in a while, I catch 1-2 hours of sleep if I have something important the next day. And there are times I just skip the sleep cause I was postponing till too late.

    I kinda sleep for 5 hour at night but... Lacking sleep kinda makes me short fused and easy to anger.... I remember when I sleep just for 1 hour before woken up by blackout (my house required fan to keep temperature not reaching 48c at night) hell even I sleep on tree branch because that and was grumpy for rest of day

    8-9 hours for me, but I can function on 2 for a day. I have to sleep 10+ the day after I do that though.

    From what I have read, a lot of studies or suggestions are that the avg. adult should get at least 7-8 hours of sleep a night!

    I usually get ~5 maybe 6 hours of sleep a day during the week. I know it's not ideal and I'd love to get more sleep but that isn't really possible and I've been functioning like this for so long I can't remember the last time I slept before midnight. Maybe once a few months back? I'm used to it now.
    Only thing is the less sleep I get the worse my procrastination is. When I finally have time I just lie in bed on my phone because I'm too exhausted and then I stay up even later finishing things I should have done before.
