8 hours. I need my 8 hours or I am a witch. I think that is why DH is so supportive when it comes to making sure Mommy gets her 8 hours.

I get 5-6 hrs but since our son was born - I only get 2-3 hrs at a time! Some nights are better then others....

6 to 8 hours, depending on what the kidlet does throughout the night. Seems like about 4 in the afternoon or so, I just find myself utterly exhausted and would give my right arm for a nap but unfortunately this does not coincide with kidlet nap time. To be honest, one of my pet peeves is when someone says, "Why don't you take a nap when kidlet does?" Sure, and maybe the laundry fairy, the dishwashing fairy, and the toy-picker-upper fairy can swoop in and take care of all that while I nap away the hours.....

I get about 5-7 hours per night.

My body is usually exhausted by 9:30pm and wants to sleep, but my brain never seems to agree. It wants to catch up on some things, watch some mindless tv, read few articles in a magazine, glance at the newspaper, spend some time with the hubby, etc. My brain literally drags my body all over the house until finally the body rebels around 12am by giving the brain a headache and by shutting down the eyes.

mine ranges anywhere from 5-8 hours depending on when DS goes to sleep, when i go to sleep, if he sleeps through the night and how late he sleeps in the morning. LOL so many exceptions! on average though i would say 7 hours... i like to be optimistic ;)
