3-4 really just isn't enough. You'll be feeling the effects of that soon enough. I'd say shoot for about 8 or 9. Even if you go to bed late, make sure you sleep in later too to make sure you get enough sleep, or you won't be able to stay awake during the day. Try not to let your sleep cycle get too thrown off. Good luck.

3 - 4 hours of sleep is not a lot. You should probably be getting 8 - 10 hours a night at your age.

No that's not enough. I go through periods of little sleep but it does usually catch up with me and i couldn't survive on 3-4 hours every night. Try everything from taking a bath to a hot milky drink, relaxation tapes, a light hearted novel and if it persists try the doctor and at least you can say you've tried everything. I mean i'm assuming you are struggling with the little amount of sleep you are getting, if not, ignore this.

Well if you are feeling full of beans and spot free and are not at all tired through the day I would think you can manage on only 3 - 4 hours.
However I would say 7-8 hours is much better for the body mind and spirit.

Not at all. You need at least 7-8 hours of sleep. Your bad sleeping habits will catch up with you in time and your not going to like it. Get off the internet and get some sleep.

Everyone is different. I need at least 8-10 hours just to function properly. If I didn't work I'd probably sleep 12 hours per day.
