Anybody with said baby likely doesn’t get enough sleep.

Interesting poll though.

Most people don’t have control over the time they have to get up, but they do have control over the time they go to bed.

Sleep? Wha tha?

Had a huge problem with insomnia for years but that has improved over the last while. The only problem is the quality of my sleep: I grind my teeth, thrash about and kick a lot in my sleep. Always seem to wake up knackered.

I use the Mrs doyle technique as I have 3 kids.at end of day,i just lean againest kitchen wall until Im needed before it all begins again at breakfast!

I find a weekend of booze and late nights throws my sleeping pattern out the window and I won’t sleep right again until midweek. God I’m getting old.

Used to get sleep paralysis too a few years back. Scary and surreal experience.

I am a very bad sleeper, can wake a few times during the night and sometimes not get back to sleep for a few hours – my doctor gave me sleeping tablets but very wary of taking them

8 hours a night most nights. Can easily get by with 7.

At weekends I try to get up when I wake up. The alternative is a dreamy/snoozy state that leaves me groggy and with a headache after trying to force it.

No I don’t at all even if I go to bed early takes me a while to settle and then usually my 4yr old will wake up at some point to go to the toilet then my 2yr old wakes up at least once just to check we’re still there then up early for the school run!

So about 50% of wider society and about 80% of people on this site. Now don’t get cross with me but could this account for the apparent irritability of some people on this site?

[I sleep like a metaphorical baby, not an actual baby, see above.]

My baby sleeps 8pm till 10am… Heaven , but i stay working during the peace till about 2

Great pic, Gavan.

nothing worse than lieing awake at night tossing and turning…..as for me i always sleep well!

Rarely have trouble sleeping but if I do I can’t function at all.

I take sleeping tablets every night. I wouldn’t recommend doing that. They have side effects. I really should stop but feel like I can’t. I can stop but I can’t – if ya know what i mean.

My job requires me to be fairly active. I reckon it’s a lot less stressful than many office based jobs so 6-7 hrs does me just fine.

I deffo not get enough sleep, go to bed arround 12,30 – 1 am and get up at 6 every morning :(

Like so many i have had a problem with insomnia for years, been down the road of booze and sleeping pills although never together, they just make ya wake up feeling crap. The last few years i go to bed and listen to relaxing or hypnosis tracks on my mp3 player machine, works a treat.

6-7 hours at night, 2 hours during the day and 1 hour in the afternoon.

Sleep deprived today ugghhh

usually 8 hours, sometimes 7 sometimes 9, all good.

Useless article/study… Define ‘enough’ I don’t think my job pays me ‘enough’ or the opposite sex perceive me as attractive ‘enough’

Doesn’t mean it’s not reality…
