how many hours a sleep do you usually have and need, and do you have an afternoon nap on occasions??

neno - I average about 6 hours a night, not enough. I feel truly rested when I've had 9 hours of sleep, which I never get. I have two jobs and one day off. I jump at the chance for a nap on Sunday. It's almost a luxury for me these days.

I prefer 10 hrs but usually only get 7 or 8. If I get less than 6 hours a day over a number of days I get really cranky and fatigued. I have slept for 24hrs before. I became so worried that I went to the doctor for a check-up. He found nothing wrong with me. I guess I just needed to catch up on all the sleep I had missed that year.
I have never been able to nap during the day.

I use to never take naps, but since i have had brain cancer need my naps. I usually sleep about 6-7 hrs a night and take about a 1-2 hour nap in the afternoon.
I also walk about 2 miles a day, so make sure you do some exercise.
Just a little advice from a mom

On the weekends I can sleep for 12-14 hours (LOVE IT!)
On school nights I get about 7-8 hours sleep (regret it)..
I need at least 8-9 hours but 10 would make me feel soo good and I would be VERY happy through out the day! x

I usually aim for around 8 hours, I'm 22 and this is expected to decline in the future as my age increases. Sleeping too much is as bad for you as not sleeping enough! Occassionally I have afternoon naps if I've had a particularly hectic day, or I'm hungover, or sometimes if I know I'm going to be out all night!

Mostly I sleep from 2:30 am to 8:00 am.
It's very tiring... But, I work until very late (like now!) and have to get up to get ready and go to work...
On some days I get to have an afternoon nap...
But not regularly... :(

Need 10, get about 7 or 8. I have never been able to sleep in the day although I fall asleep easily at night. If I can't get that much sleep it is just nice to lie there.
