Damn, I wish I got 10 a night!

I typically get between 7-8.5.

4

4 to 6 hours and hopefully a hour afternoon nap.

Most weeknights I get about 6-6.5 hours. One weekday I’m usually at about 4 hours. But, I try to sleep in on either Saturday or Sunday…10+ hours if at all possible.

Sleeping during training could be dangerous…you could drown, or crash if you’re riding…a bit like sleeping at the wheel of your car.

I get an even spread of 4 to 7 hrs a night during a typical week…once every 2 or 3 weeks I might get a sleep-in, say 10hrs.

Holy crap. I think I would shoot myself if I only had 12 hours a day to do things lol

I try to get 9-9.5 when training. When not training it’s more like 7.5-8. I’m of the opinion that if you trained for 2 hours, did other stuff, then slept for 4 hours, you basically threw that 2 hours of training out the window. Sleep is necessary to let your body take advantage of the training stress.

9 hours and a 30min-1hr nap most days

6 normally, 7 if I am lucky and my daughter sleeps in.
