I have a very strict sleeping pattern and try to give myself around 8 hours every night. There's no way I could sleep in on some days and wake up early on others (even though sometimes I'm forced to), it would totally screw up my schedule and then I'd have trouble falling asleep.

4-6 usually. I need at least 7 to feel good, though.

I too need my sleep lest I turn into a zombie, but I rarely sleep longer than 6.5 hours, often not more than 6.

I wrote 4 to 5 hours, but the amount actually varies. Usually I get 4 to 6 hours, and about once a week crash for about 12 hours. I have been doing this for as long as I can remember.

I sleep about 7 hours, that does not include the 1.5 hour that i need to get to sleep.
I need about 9 hours of sleep to feel good, usually i get 10-11 to feel good after having consumed alot of alcohol.
If i sleep 5 hours or less, i walk around like a red-eyed zombie.

I put 9-10 for my answer, but then I remember that I will sometimes lay awake and daydream for a few hours. So it might be around 7.

The minimal amount I need to function is about 3 hours. I can tolorate not eating, heat, cold and almost anything else, but I have little tolerance for lack of sleep.
