How much sleep do you get and need?

How much sleep do you guys usually get? How much would be ideal?

I'm asking because recently due to a crap load of University work I have had to get up early and I'm getting between 7-8 hours sleep. I wake up and feel so tired, feel like crap. Usually when I get between 9 and 10, I am feeling crisp and so refreshed. Other people I have spoken to find it odd to sleep so much, is it just me that can't operate properly below 8 hours sleep?

Weird question I know but just something I was wondering.

Everybody's sleep cycle is different. Your body will become used to the sleep cycle you give it as long as it is regular. Try and set a specific time for sleep each night and wake up to an alarm (if you're looking to cut back to 6-8 hours). After a couple of weeks you'll probably be adjusted.

you got to readin' while you were doing your time for growin' dope, huh Rick?

Good answer though. I was just going to say that I find as I get older I need less and less sleep.

Actually Tim, it was book learnin'...not sure if those two things are the same things.

6-8 hours is enough for me.

If I sleep more than that I usually wake up feeling like sh*t. Same thing with naps.

My sleeping habits are shitty. There's days when I sleep less than 6 hours like I did last night & there's days when I oversleep(up to 13 hrs

) and feel worse than when I don't get enough sleep.
