How much sleep do you need to function?

[ESkill]

Definitely at least 7 or 8, but preferably 10. If I get less than 7 I usually end up falling asleep during the day. I think I used to be cat in a previous life, I love napping haha. Lately I've been waking up at 6 though and it's been fun to get to accomplish a lot so early in the day.

I'm honestly in the same situation as the OP...

 

[allainah]

ehh tbh idk. if i don't sleep enough i feel like crap, if i sleep too much i feel like crap? i've never found the right amount of time lol but i always sleep about 10-12 hours. then again I have depression so

I think for me it depends on the hours I sleep between? Usually the minimum I need is 5-6 hours and I can function perfectly well. But if I sleep between hours of say 4am to 9am, then I feel really groggy the whole day. But if I sleep between 1am and 6am I'm usually fine. Then sometimes depending on what I'm doing I can survive off 2-3 hours? I remember one day where I was finishing off assignments really late, then attended classes all day and hung out with friends until 1am and I was fine the whole time lol.

7 hours minimum :l

I like 7 1/2 to 8 1/2 hours. Anything less and I just can't function right throughout the day.

I'm a Night Owl, but I sleep like a baby Normally 8 hours

 

[Jhine7]

9 hours. But ya know, 12 would be nice.

 

[mogyay]

i've definitely functioned on one or two hours before. but ideally the least amount i can get and still feel like i can survive is about 6 or 7

 

[hamster]

9+

 

[Buttonsy]

At least 7 hours.

RIP I thought 6 hours was normal but i guess I should start sleeping earlier to not be on the lower end of average sleeping time.

Ironic that it's 1 AM currently and I'm procrastinating my sleep yet again.

 

[eater909]

12 hours to function sometimes 13.

 

[Sweetley]

Well, I would say at least around 8 hours.

 

[Annika.]

I usually get 6 hours and it gets me through the day, but 8-9 hours is definitely better. I just want to have more of the day to myself when I come home in the evening. It would just make me really depressed to just eat dinner and go to bed every weekday, so I rather skip a little sleep.

The less I get, the better I feel.
Since I don't have a work, I mostly sleep until like 9h and feel like I didn't slept the whole night..
but the day is feeling too long if I wake up earlier x)

 

[Kamzitty]

At the very least, I need 6 hours of sleep.
I usually get around 8-10 hours of sleep every night though haha.

 

[boring]

Counting my day-to-day activities, anxiety level, pain level in my dogey shoulder, stress from my family and home life, my insomnia and my depression, usually 10-12 hours is IDEAL but I always get like,, 3-4 hours or no sleep at all for 48 hours - I'm constantly exhausted anyways because I also have some deficiencys I don't take meds for right now so I'm suffering their effects oof ):

 

[Alienfish]

8-9 I'd say, at least if I work. I probably get less on weekend but I try to sleep at the same time every day unless there is like a movie or stuff I wanna watch late.

Zero. I am capable of staying up to not more than 48 hours at a time. A living writing machine.
