Back when I was at Uni, 3-4 hours would be enough. I was most productive at night with a flask of green tea .
Nowadays I need about 5 hours and I’m good to go.
Honestly I can’t remember the last time I had a 8/9 hour sleep.

I am having issues with sleep at the moment. I aim for 6-7 hours but not sleeping properly when asleep and waking up exhausted. My wife blames gaming as she says it stimulates my brain before sleep. Obviously that is preposterous and I have threatened divorce for such spurious.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Rudy_Manchego Ha, ha! Yeah, I have actually heard that one should limit their ‘screen time’ before sleep. Something about photostimulation of the eye causing hormones to surge and circadian rhythm problems or some such nonsense

I am lucky if I can get 8 hours of sleep. Usually I get anywhere between 4 and 6 and that's if my insomia decides to let me. Every so often I will sleep about 10 hours but that's rare usually about once a month or so.

I usually have about 5-6 hours sleep a night which is usually broken up once or twice. Then I'll have a few days when I will sleep uninterrupted and I don't feel as groggy.
I can remember one weekend last year after a night out I got in at about 4am, slept till about 10am. By about 4pm I was struggling so went to bed think it would be a couple of hours snooze. I ended up sleeping until 7am! I felt good too once I unglued my eyes apart from all the eye bogeys that had formed lol.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
Not sure how we all got to talking about our sleeping habits, but I'll join in. I need a lot of sleep or else I'm a highly irritable, on-edge man of fury. When I stayed up for E3, I actually felt half-dead after a few days. When it was all over I slept for 12 1/2 hours straight. Unusual for me, because I usually get up several times in the night to pee.
One of the greatest feelings is waking up an hour or two before your alarm, thinking that it’s time to get up and you realize that you have another 2 hours of sleep gifted to you. Feels so great. Like cheating death.
Then one of the worst feelings is getting up and fumbling through your morning, taking a shower, shaving, dressing, brushing your teeth, feeling exhausted but pushing yourself to go through your morning ordeal to get to work or school, then you wake up again and realize you just dreamt all that and now you have to do it again for real.
@Th3solution When I set my alarm, I wake up 5 to 10 minutes before it goes off. If I don't, I'll oversleep for sure. It's like I have this magical unconscious clock in my head that keeps perfectly track of time and wakes me just before my alarm goes off. I hate that sound by the way, so maybe that's another factor that's part of this.
Yeah I generally wake up before my alarm goes off. I can't always get off back to sleep however. Then only time my alarm woke me recently is in Wednesday after the football. It was a bit weird though and I didn't feel right all day.

@Jaz007 Ha, ha! I’ve wondered the same thing! I assume it’s a joke and there is like a regular office somewhere with some servers and computer stuff, but I like to imagine a large tower with the big “Push Square” logo in neon lights and Sammy has a corner office on the 45th floor, overlooking downtown London, where he sits and smokes cubans with his feet propped up on his ebony wood desk and throws darts at Phil Spencer’s picture on the wall.
