I hear 7 hours is the norm but I am curious as to what different people have to sleep for more or less

The older you get the less sleep you need, which is why some old people are up at 4am when everyone else has only been in bed a few hours. Teenagers need about 10 hours.

The amount needed differs with each person.
I feel at my best when I've had a good 7 hours of sleep.
HOWEVER, usually, I wind up getting between 5 and 6 hours of sleep.
I can function with 4, but I am really ding-y and stupid with 4 hours. My job requires a lot of concentration and accuracy, so I try VERY hard to get at least 6 hours of sleep before workdays.
I have also functioned (at work) with no sleep... but that has been a rare occasion, and as I get older, I have less trust in my ability to do that.

I sleep for 9 hours, and need to get at least 8 hours to feel normal.

9-10 is best for me, but my sleep quality sucks so I have to make up for it in quantity.
(Note: I frequently run on 6-7)

usually 12-16 hours, but I'm narcoleptic. I hope to get down to about ten hours a day eventually.
