      Lightbulb How Much Sleep Do You Get a Night?

      It is said that teenagers should be getting at least nine hours of sleep a night while adults should be getting at least eight. I find that many people get a lot less than that and am curious to see how many hours of sleep people really get.

      Do you feel you are getting enough sleep every night? If not, are you going to try and get more or just leave it as it is. Also post if you are a teen or an adult and which option you picked.

      Seven, Eight on a good night, and yeah I don't feel like I get enough, my recall is terrible in the weekdays.
      Late teen. (17)
      I rarely get nine hours sleep.

      I'm late teen (19) and on an average night I get about 8 hours of sleep, but I don't have a regular sleep pattern since my work schedule is changing from day to day. My recall is best on days where I don't work (I have some kind of mental block days where I have to work and it's so annoying!) and in the weekends where i can sleep as long as like.

      What about you Mancon?

      Teen (17).

      Right now, it's five hours... If I'm lucky. I've kinda gotten myself into a really bad sleeping schedule over the past little while, where I'd go to bed really close to the time I actually wake up, including on weekdays.

      But putting that aside, usually 8.

      That sounds horrible o.o hopefully you get it back on the right track! This summer, I got the horrible disease of Dreamviews Addiction and only got like 4 hours a sleep a night. xD

      Haha, same here.

      Last night I went to bed at 12, which was good. The other night it was 3. It's slowly getting back to normal!

      7-8 hours of sleep. Young adult (21) I was sleeping steady 8 but after my last lucid I started slacking and schedule is all messed up xD

      ps: I know some people only sleep a few hours, but options under 4 are kinda not necessary (I hope!) xD

      Especially on a lucid dreaming website. I just put them there just in case. You never know!

      I tend to get about 6 hrs a night. I thought I was depriving myself of precious sleep until somebody posted a graph showing required amount of sleep at various ages in the thread called something like "Bad news for you guys" and I saw that at my age that's all I need! Happy now.

      I'm a teenager, usually I get 6 hours of sleep (sometimes 7), damn dreamveiws keeping up so late on days when i have to wake up early.
      On weekends, it's 7-9 roughly, in the summer, it's usually 9 or 10, because of the fucked up sleeping schedule I maintain xD

      I'm 20. About 9 hours but I can easily do 11 if I don't have to get up and I have my clock covered. I feel guilty when I sleep that much though, I mean, I thought I was supposed to grow out of sleeping so much... but when dreaming is so fun...

      The first one to vote 11+, huh? I'm a young adult, finished my school and I'm currently not bound to a fixed work schedule, so I get as much sleep as possible and comfortable since I have the time and use it for my lucid dreaming career. Currently I'm within the middle of two weeks with 9 or 10 average hours but my usual schedule with 11-12 hours will be resumed afterwards.

      Sounds like me except even more sleep. I'm impressed
      I dread getting a regular job (something I've lately been procrastinating) because it's completely killed my dream life in the past. I bet that is largely why there are hardly any 25+ people on here. It is REALLY hard finding the time and motivation with a dumbass job. So depressing

      The Poll is biased! You think that people who aren't into lucid dreaming or dreams in general feel like sleeping much?

      I'm actually impressed that I usually manage to get around 9 hours of sleep on a normal night. Usually, I'm busy with friends so its more like 4 or 5 which is absolutely terrible. I'm just wondering if anyone here does polyphasic sleep? That would be interesting see.

      my sleep routine is a bit complicated. i can only vote for average hour. my sleep is like this... night 1 = 3 hours, night 2 = 3 hours, night 3 = 12 hours. or night 1 = no sleep, night 2 = 12 hour. its not repeating, sometime i got very less sleep for few days to a week, before i do the "repay" sleep which took 12 hour minimum.

      I'm 22 years old and I usually sleep 8 hours a night. That seems to be enough for me. I tend to be tired during winter no matter how long I sleep, especially if I have to get up before sunrise.

      7 hours sleep, but I stay in bed for maybe 8 and a half.
      I'm 17, and I find my sleep is relatively undisturbed, except I wake up at around 5 every night, as I trained myself to do, for my WBTB or whatever.

      From 11pm to 8:30am.
      Sleeping from maybe 12:30 to 7.

      ......

      (I'm 17), the past couple of weeks I've been getting 9 hours, though I'm slipping a bit this week I've been really feeling the benefits in terms of lucidity, recall and overall wellbeing. Apart from the advantages for dreaming, I just really like sleep

      Hopefully half term holiday won't disrupt it too much.

      But you know I know when it's a dream
      I think I know I mean a yes
      But it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree

      Teen (16) 7 hours pretty consistently. Every day I say I'm going to go to bed a bit earlier for 8 hours but I recently had my free will taken hostage by Reddit so it never happens.

      Teen, I sleep from 4 to 6 hours per night, exceptions being weekends.

      E- Currently have 3 hours before I have to wake up, but I usually do not stay up quite this late.
