#2All I have to say re sleep is: get enough of it, or suffer.
How much is 'enough' depends on your chronotype (lark/own type of thing) - see http://brainrules.net/sleep for more.

#3People who sleep 9+ hours a day--is this continuous sleep? I find it really hard to sleep for more than 7 hours without waking up and then forcing myself back to sleep.

#4I honestly wish I could live on 6 hours of sleep; I feel like I'd get much more done that way. Since college, I've never been able to go without 9 hours of sleep without paying for it the next day or that weekend at the most.

#5Round up or round down?
I'm at 4.5 hours per day. Is that 4hr or 5hr in this poll?

#7I prefer 8 minimum, 9 is normal. I'm able to get so much more out of the day with that extra sleep. <7 and it's going to be a very rough day.

#8My sympathy to whoever voted <= 4 hours. I'm at 6 and I doze off a little on bad days.

Yes. I occasionally take melatonin, which seems to improve the overall quality of sleep.
I also use blackout curtains, and back when I didn't have those, I would use a sleep mask.

#10Typically between 8 and 9 hours a night. I usually head to bed around 11:00pm, and my alarm goes off at 8:00am. So it just depends how much TV I watch in bed.
