I don't get much, but I'm used to it even though it stinks. Although, now that I'm pregnant again it is harder. I work 12 hour overnight shifts so there are times where I'm up for over 40 hours without more than an hour or two of sleep. Hopefully I'll be able to cut my hours after this baby is born. We will see.
Thanks to my fitbit I know I average 6-8. But pre-baby days it was over 8. I feel like I need more than 8 to feel my best and yet here I go having another baby!
I usually get 6-7 hours now that my 3 year old can open her bedroom door with the childproof covers on them. She used to play in her room and read books after she woke up, which she loves doing. Now, she comes into our room and then goes back to her room and reads/plays and once I'm awake, I can't get back to sleep.
I get between 7 and 8 hours on weeknights, and unfortunately can't nap on weekdays (as much as I'd like to!). On the weekends I usually nap when DS naps (so 2-3 hours per day) plus I get to sleep in til 8 or 9 on whichever day it is that DH gets up with the little guy (he usually wakes between 6 and 7 a.m.).

I sleep 8-9 hours (I go to bed very early; 28 going on 60) but in the last 2 or 3 weeks I wake up at least twice to pee. It's annoying, sometimes the second trip keeps me awake at like 3/4am. Hoping that doesn't turn into a habit.

I usually get right around 8-9 hours of sleep, and I get up to pee about twice a night. Once around 12-1am, and again around 4-5am. I'm enjoying getting this much sleep while it lasts.

I'm up to 9hrs! Interrupted by having to go to the bathroom, but it's usually a good 4/5 split roughly. This feel amazing, because I'm normally the 5hr or 6hr champion of sleep deprivation.
I can knock out 12 hours like it's nothing, but then I'm still taking half a tab of Unisom at night, and that stuff takes me out. I notice I definitely sleep lighter than usual without it and probably get more like 7.

pre-pregnancy I needed 8-9 hours a night to function! Granted I wouldn't say I'm functioning the best now...
