My sweetheart needs like... 8-10 hours.. he can wake up with less.. but he can hardly function or stay awake.
My boyfriend says I wrote this inaccurately, lol.

I go without sleep, but if he cuddles me or rubs my back, or really intense sex session, I'm out. And if he tries to wake me before I'm ready, I growl at him and then pout and whimper all cute.


I don't know if I do all that, but maybe I do, cause he hardly ever wakes me LOL


He still sleeps WAY more, with me being anemic, I love to steal his covers and bodyheat

By the way, all this sleep talk is making me tired, LOL.

I have insomnia... I cannot fall asleep, and cannot stay asleep thru the night. No matter what I do. Partly because I have degenerative disk disease in my lower back ( in the past few years I have gone from almost 5ft 8in to 5ft 6in ). If I sleep too little I wake up throwing up -violently sick and docs dont know why. Been tested for everything under the sun it seems like. LOL. I can easily sleep 12 hrs and still be tired, I can sleep 8 hrs and still be tired. Theres no perfect amount of time. I hate it. I really do. There are times I feel like I am missing out on spending time with my husband or my son. But a lot of times my son will take a nap with me, which is nice of him. Adorable little 6 yr old I have.

I'm weird, I don't fall asleep easily (unless it's not my bedtime), but once I'm asleep, I can make myself sleep for days, literally. It's linked to my mood a lot of the time, but I definitely sleep more than pretty much everyone I know. I've slept through parties at my house before (a couple times).

Some times Thyroid gland may cause you to sleep more and feel lazy. 8 hours is fair enough for us to sleep, except after too hot nights

I voted "my partner sleeps more" but now that I think of it, he just sleeps in more but I'm more likely to go to bed earlier. So maybe it evens out.

I sleep a lot more. We both tend to fall asleep around the same time, but he has to get up for work early so he leaves and I just keep on sleeping until I wake up on my own.

It used to be him but his current job is taking up sleep time. I like 7-8 hours plus time in bed to get my head together before I have to get up. He runs on 5-6 hours a night.

I need 9-10 hours to be really good. He only needs 6 or 7. So I sleep way more than he does.

I tend to sleep more than my partner because he has to get up early for work during the week.

Same here. I lay awake in bed for hours. When I finally get to sleep I wake up so much throughout the night I don't know why I sleep... Lol. I'm on Seroquel right now. Upped the dosage 4 times, and it's not helping...

I think I sleep a little bit more, but for the most part we fall asleep and wake up together. Sometimes he's a few minutes ahead of me. I discovered that he was testing out pet names in those few minutes when I don't quite remember things...I guess they got a good reaction because he still uses them sometimes.

My guy usually falls asleep much earlier than me, but on weekends I generally sleep in later than him. It balances out. Eventually I hope I can just match up my schedule with his. It's just so hard now

My husband sleeps way more than I do, because we have a baby and he plays the "you have boobs so you can feed him" card. Fortunately I've learned to do well on no sleep, but I look forward to the days when I can sleep in past 6 am.

Y'all sound exactly like me and my partner! Lol. I sleep a few hours more than he does and he does well with little sleep. I thought I was the only person in the world who couldn't function on only a few hours of sleep! People act like you're crazy if you need to sleep more than 5 hours!

I usually sleep about 9 hours depending. If it's that time of the month, I'll sleep for 10 hours if I can and if not, I will pass out for a couple of hours at night then get back up and work the rest of the night.

My partner says he likes to see me sleep or when I first wake up. I have no clue why because I look like hell after I've taken my anxiety meds and passed out! I sometimes won't even remember having company stop by while I've been asleep from the meds. It gets scary, but even without them I'll still need to sleep for a little more than 5 hours to fully function.

I hate running low on sleep! Sometimes I'll sleep for only 4 hours, but mostly I try to sleep for 7-9 if I can.

I sleep a decent amount but Erik tends to sleep more. He falls asleep first and we usually get up at the same time.

We can both sleep like the dead for long periods of time but I'd say I sleep more since he has to get up for classes.
