A persons sleep requirements, are as individual as the many flavors of ice cream.

I sleep 4-5 hours each night. my wife sleeps 8-10. we both are night owls, but 4 am is my wakeup call. she sleeps till 10 am.

We love each other and the difference in each's sleep requirement has never been a problem.

We just make it work.

- My husband and I are the same way! He enjoys his personal time in the morning while I am still asleep. I think its healthy.

I got 7 hours. I'd rather get 8, but I'm used to getting 6-7 hours a night.

How much did you get? Were you up all night studying or partying?

- Neither...lol just couldn't sleep. Unfortunately!

- Well I was about 14 credits short of my english degree when I landed the job I have now....which is a good one. There's not much I could have really done with the degree so I put it on hold. I do plan on going back. I still don't need the degree, but the fact that I'm so close to finishing and how hard I worked to get there I feel I need to finish.

I think the amount you're supposed to get is 6-8 hours, but if I get that much it's hard for me to get up in the morning. I get 4, 5 hours top. I don't think that's considered enough, but, hey it works fine for me.

Supposedly, the ammount you should get a night is 9 1/4 hours. I personally think six is good enough. I can get by on two though, and usually do most nights. I mean, I'm not on answerbag at 1 am for my health.

I consider 8 hours per night a sufficient amount of sleep. I generally don't get very much sleep during the week, but then I catch up on the weekends by sleeping for like 13 or 14 hours. So overall, I think my schedule evens out to be about enough sleep, but it's very erratic.

Yes. Try taking Melatonin. You won't have to sleep as long and also the sleep you do get will be very productive. You won't wake up tired.
I suggest Ginko Biloba in the mornings as well.

- Love melatonin... I have been on a semi-normal sleep schedule recently and have tried not to use it but it was my savior last year when I stopped being able to fall asleep at night.

- I guess it's better not to use it if you don't need it.
