How much sleep do you get? I try to get as little as possible to have the most awake time as I can. I am currently at 6 hours of great sleep, I go to sleep at 11:00 and wake up at 5:00 AM.

I really want to try that polyphasic sleep but I've had too many conflicts this summer so far.
 


Adopting Polyphasic sleep is not really feasible I think, what hell do you think your friends are going to say when you bail out on a movie or whatever in the middle of the day, going to sleep :p
It doesn't fit into a normal life.
 
6-8 hours a night. Through college I had way too many times where I had to sleep deprive myself, and I refuse to do it now unless absolutly needed. 8 is probably my ideal.
 
Peach.

Probably so, but my goal overall is to get it down to 4-5 hours with total alertness. Getting it down from 6 is painful.
 
I generally get about 4-6 hours each night.. But I do take quick power naps during the day, sometimes as many as 3.
 
A little like Jon here, I get around 6.5-7 average but then need a power nap during the day a lot of times. Right Mark!? Haha!
 
Used to sleep for like 5 hours a day when i played LineageII but now im not on any mmorpg nemore so im at like 8 or 9.
 
Maybe 3-4 hours a night... My life style is way to busy. Tons of things going on.
 
Although I must say, only going off 3-4 hours each day gets me by just fine... maybe because I'm young.

I'm sure one day it will come back and bite me in the ass.

A lot of people call me crazy... I dont know... I just really dont need sleep to function.

When I sleep I feel like I'm wasting time. If I sleep to long I wake up and I get pissed...
 
One of those things where some people just need less sleep then others I suppose. I know people who get 5 or so hours naturally and are fine, and some people need 9 to really function. Sometimes I wish I naturally only needed about 6, but alas, its not to be.

Yea.. I really think of it as a gift to be honest. It gives me time to do everything I like to do and I never feel lazy.

I just hope one day it doesn't catch up with me.
