Poll: How many hours of sleep do you get each day?

#1
After having experimented with polyphasic sleep in the past I am back to normal. I would like how many hours of sleep you actually get each day. For example I need (and usually get) around 9 to 10 hours of sleep each day, while my fiancée seems to be fine on 7,5 hours.

I get as many hours of sleep as I need. I don't try to keep to any particular schedule: When I'm tired, I go to sleep; and when I'm not tired any more, I wake up. Some days I sleep 5 hours; some days I sleep 11 hours; some days I sleep for two or more multiple-hour periods. I probably average about 8-9 hours.

Occasionally I need to be awake at a specified time (e.g., every Thursday evening, for rehearsals of an orchestra I'm playing with), but this very rarely interferes with my sleep non-schedule.
