How much sleep do you get a day and how much would you like to get a day?

An hour max. I like sleeping during the night. (I'm sorry, I think I just became a dad)

I've got !myalgicencephalomyelitis@lemmy.blahaj.zone and live my life in bed. As I don't have to adhere to society's timetables I sleep when I am sleepy and wake up when I'm done. I sleep 10-11 hours most days.

Once I had a really bad night where I basically didn't sleep. The night after that I got 14 hours of sleep. I think that's the longest I ever slept in my life.

I wish I was more in line with my family. It's especially hard with aligning lunch and dinner. So in a way I actually am still tied to society's timetable.

Not enough.
A lot more but baby.

~6hrs pr. day.

Would like to get an hour or so more, but like another commenter wrote. Baby.

Like 4 hours. Double that, or none, but no in between

I hate being a night owl but having to conform to a morning bird's world. Talk about nuking productivity.

Usually somewhere between 9 and 12 hrs (disabled and not working for someone else, but have a micro farm to maintain).. it feels like such a massive waste of time because it’s never enough to feel rested. I used to go with the 4-8 hr thing and that was worse but the anxiety early in the morning really kept the energy up. And then led to panic attacks as an alarm clock. Woo was that fun for 3 solid years.

I don’t think any amount of sleep is enough, really (since childhood I've always tended to sleep a lot when my brain finally slows down enough), but I do know too little is super super bad for me.

Micro farm?
- Yeah, I live in town on 0.2 acres. I’ve got a small flock of chickens, and a hydroponic garden in the works to use the entirety of my basement year round to provide most of my fresh food needs, and hopefully that of one or two people important to me, once it’s in full swing (it’s a very old house and the foundation is leaky, there’s not a lot I can do about it other than embrace it due to how it was built).
  I don’t have a big yard, so the chickens have the bulk of it, and I can’t use the remainder for growing stuff because it doesn’t get direct sun, but I do better with controlled conditions like hydro anyway. I hate weeding, and the guesswork of watering dirt.
  So far the garden consists of a sprout and seedling station (for eating and growing), several varieties of tomatoes and peppers that will be producing soon, some beans, peas, 2 types of mushrooms (grown on shredded cardboard), some herbs, and some asshole strawberries that hate me and refuse to grow. When I get the aquariums set up to breed guppies or minnows for my cats and turtle, (my neighbor was throwing out 3 55gallon tanks so I took them) I’ll be adding leafy greens and whatever else in an aquaponics setup.
  I also keep colonies of crickets, mealworms, and a worm composter, for feeding the birds and making compost tea for nutrients.
  I’m currently testing a bucket method for growing relatively large quantities of root crops in small spaces. I’ve had the idea for a while but I’m finally motivated to see if it works, and what it works for. If it does I’ll probably end up posting instructions on here somewhere. Probs slrpnk. Few months before I get results, or don’t, on the first round.
  I wanted to sell this place and buy 40 acres with a shitty house, build up a real hobby farm/homestead, but everything started getting uncertain right around when I started looking, and I got real nervous about putting myself into a more precarious position, so I’m kinda stuck making this work for now.

6ish, I'd like 8 but I can't really fall asleep until after midnight unless I'm truly exhausted, then work means I usually need to be up around 7ish

I get slightly less than 8 hours. My body wants more than 9 hours. I hate sleep, I hate being tired, I hate waking up, so I want 0 hours.

According to my mother, I have only needed 4 hours of sleep in a given 24 hours, since I was born. Same for my brother that is 3 years younger than I am. Finally in my mid 40s, I have to take a 30 minute nap occasionally, mostly if I'm bored.

I wish I could get more probably 5-6 hours of real sleep on a good night, I've tried all my life but I end up just lying in bed for hours

I would like to sleep for 24 hours a day for the rest of my life

I get about 7. Turns out I need closer to 9. When I do get enough sleep, the difference is pretty wild - my mood is better, WAY better. And my appetite is under control too, which is a nice bonus. But the only way to actually get those 9 hours is literally "eat-sleep-work". Just ain't enough time in the day.

6-7, 10-12

It's 5-7 for me, that i get during workweek. 9-12 during weekend. I like sleeping a lot.

Between 5-7. My body likes choosing the 5 when I have important stuff to do the next day or I need to be up early

I usually sleep about 6 hours. I‘d like to get 7 or 8, but rarely do. Mostly my own fault.

5.5h to 6.5h, but I'd love to get 7.5h to feel truly ready for the daily challenges again. Haven't had enough consistent deep sleep since the 1st kid was born. That really flipped a switch in me.

3-4 hours a day, working minimum 12 hour shifts, usually 13-14, 4 days a week, 3 days when I can.

How are you still alive? Are you able to say what you do for work?
- Some days I honestly don't know. I work for AWS in one of their many data centers as a critical facilities technician.
- It’s different if you’re away from family though. Oil rig workers, navy folk, logistics etc. When it’s just you, running that kind of lifestyle is doable (speaking from experience). But good luck being a human/parent next to that commitment…

6 and 24 preferably.

Would you sleep for a full day then stay awake for a full day? Or just sleep 24 hours everyday?
- Preferably perpetual sleep to drown out all the news.

6 hrs on average I’d say.

Would love 8 hr average. Feel a completely different person on 8 hrs.

We have four kids (4, 6, 15, 18) all still at home, so once the little ones are in bed, there’s lunch boxes and teenage dramas to sort out, plus getting some time with my wife and some time in the man cave. It’s easily past midnight every night before all needs are seen to, often gets closer to 1am.

Unfortunately my job has a quarterly cycle which destroys 4 weeks every quarter; during that time I get less, probably 4-5 hrs. Brutal. But hey, everyone’s fed, warm, healthy and happy - that is what parenting is about; paying back what your parents put into you.

I get about 7 hours ish, but I wish I could get 8 hours. It's amazing how much an hour can do but I feel amazing on 8 hours in the morning but sometimes feel like a zombie on 7 hours.

Sleep app says avg 6.5h/day

8 hours every 3 days. Enhanced by stimulants. I wish I never had to sleep again. I deeply resent my own biology trying to force me to spend a third of my life in a damned bed doing nothing.

I get 6-7, and I like to get 7.

6 and later a 30min nap is also good, but the nap isn't always that well compatible with work. I do that quite often in summer when it's too hot to sleep very well and I'm working from home.

Should be sleeping now, but the clock change from UTC+2 to UTC+1 is throwing me off at the moment.

On average I get ~10-14 I'd really like to get ~7-9. Excess sleep is highly overrated.

Typically I get about six. Had a long weekend had did nine and half each day for three days straight, which never happens, then last night I got four hours and undid all that goodness.

I would like between seven and eight hours on the regular, just not going to happen unless I retire and live on my own as I am a very light sleeper.

I'm a lighter sleeper too. Luckily for me, my upstairs neighbour's favourite hobby is seeing how loud she can get her chairs to screech across the floor. She practices 4-100 times an hour from 5 a.m. to midnight so she's pretty good. She could be better but she takes several breaks a day to test out how loud she can get her tv as well as hammering the floor at 6 a.m. occasionally. I went to commend her on her skills one time and she politely screamed "GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AND DON'T COME BACK". I know she appreciated it though because she got even louder since then!
- I would rather live on the streets than put up with that, I could not cope with it as I get woke up by people in the same house being quiet let alone noisy cunts like that.

About 6 hours on average. There's a lot of boom and bust though. 9 hours when off, 5 hours sometimes during the week.

I really badly want this to settle in an average of 7 hours daily.... But I've been really unsuccessful in rewiring my brain to be disciplined enough.

6 to 8 hours depending on the day. If it were up to me, I'd have a polyphasic system for a sum of 8 hours: 6 hours at night plus a 2-hour siesta.

5-8 hours depending on if I had afternoon caffeine or not. I think I like 7 hours, but it has been a while that I've kept track of sleep quality.
