What time do you....

Go to bed? How much sleep do you need to feel rested?

I've gone to bed around 10 PM since I was a teen. Pushing 50 I find I like a solid 8 hours of sleep to feel in top form.

Are you a sleeper or a night owl?

    I do good if I can get between 4 and 5 hours of sleep a night.
    I am up at 2 am every morning.

    I usually get about 4 to 5 hrs per night, I need 8 or 9 to feel rested. I'm self employed and a full time college student, I don't have time to sleep so I guess I'll just rest when I'm dead.

    That might explain why I haven't been sick in over ten years.
    I was just talking about flu with someone today and how I have never had a flu shot and never get sick. They get the flu shot every year and still get sick.

    I also use 8 hrs as a minimum. Try to get 8-9 before a day of work. Trouble is that my 4 and 5 yr old boys think the clock revolves around them[:)]. I am on swings now and find it hard to get enough sleep. I get home @ 2300 and go to sleep @0100. The house is busy by 0800. Gotta love them boys, though[:)]

    I sleep when I can and dont usually get too much. 4-6 hrs usually. As far as the immune system goes, when Im on duty at the hospital doing several 12's in a row, I get very little sleep and Im exposed to all kinds of sickness. I generally dont get sick either. Its always good to get a good nights sleep from time to time but Im certainly not going to dwell on it.

    I go to bed whenever I get done with everything I need to do that day. But I need 7 hours minimum to function, and 9 or 10 to feel rested.

    Same here. 2am is about bedtime, up around 7-8am.

    8-10 to feel rested. In fact I'm so drained by the end of the week, I HAVE to use my Sat. morning to catch up on the sleep.

    Most of the time, between 11PM and 11:30PM, sleep like a rock, get 6 to 7 hours of sleep a night. But, I occasionally stay up until midnight or 12:30AM if I'm engrossed in my PC or working on a project.

    I'm in bed at 9:00 every night. According to the wife, I'm asleep at about 9:03 every night.

    I seem to wake up every morning between 4:55 and 5:15 without an alarm.

    I wait til I get my call from Mrs Rogue (she calls me when she wakes up in kuwait eight hours ahead) I'm usually asleep by 11 and am up at 0430.

    On the weekends I might sleep in til 7 or so depending on what's going on.
