How much sleep can you manage on?

I'm normally wanting 6-7, but I'm wondering what is needed. So, how long do you sleep?

How long can you function properly, and is caffeine a benefactor?

Depends, I can manage on < 4, but I prefer ~7.

Lately it seems I cant manage on anything but over 8 hours. Its like anywhere from 1-5 hours I can, then 5-7 is no good and 8+ is perfect. I need to get out of this sleeping schedule.

Around 4-6 hours I can manage fine. I always say I'm going to get a good night sleep like 10 hours but I find it hard to get to bed that early.

None NO sleep, from words from dorfo from darkness 2: sleep deprevation like lsd.

I can manage on 3-4 but not for more than one day in a row. To function normaly I need 6-7 at least.

i can go two days on only 4-6 hours and do so regularly

To the people saying they need 8+ hours, that's not healthy. 8 hours isn't even the right amount of sleep. At 8 hours I've overslept and wake up with a headache.

A normal night for me is getting to bed about 2 am and waking up by 8 for work at 9. But to get to bed by 4 or 5 am is not out of the ordinary and I function perfectly fine and I still go on till 1 or 2 am that night. Right now for instance its almost 2 am and I feel like I could stay awake till 5 no problem after waking up at 9 this morning(it was a weekend).

Did 1 hour once, wasn't too bad really. 3 and a half hours for today, but I usually get 4-6.

I can go on 4 hours a week for a good two months. I was doing that during school last year, but as soon as break started, I started to sleep almost 18 hours a day for another 2 months. In the end, I guess I was just catching up on some sleep.

I guess I should also ask in the topic if caffeine plays a major role too...3eyedrazorback

I've done that, too!

(said in the "that's something else I've done" tone, not the "I done that too, acknowledge me!!" tone. A lot of people think I do that here).

I need at least 6-7.

I usually get about 7 hours and I can function just fine. The problem comes when it's for weeks on end without the weekend to sleep in. Then I start to suffer.

7-8 hours is my normal sleep routine.

I can manage on around 4. Done it a few times before.

How is it not healthy? It depends on your age and condition. Teens ideally need 10, adults need 8. My body can happily sleep for 10 hours and I then feel very alert and recharged. If my alarm has to get me up during the deep sleep period i.e. 4-7/8 hours I feel like crap for a good few hours. I'd much rather oversleep than undersleep.

I have messed up sleep paterns. I can function fine for about 2 days without any sleep as long as I'm doing something (I'll fall asleep as soon as I get comfortable though). Conversly, I can easily sleep 13 hours and not feel anymore rested than I did from sleeping for 5 hours. On average I probably get around 6-7 hours sleep.

if it's up to me, I would definitely go with 8+ hours a day.

But I can't help it, I really get depressed if I sleep early.

I don't take caffeine right now. I'm feeling drag ass today thoughJandurin

How the hell do you avoid caffeine? I can't start my day without cups of cofffee

I can function on 3 hours, but I can function well on 6+

Although I don't wake up easily no matter how much sleep I get >.> Last night I got 9 hours and was still late for class.

I've done 8 hours for 4 days before. Partying, studying, partying studying. My freshman year in college was all types of crazy.
