I NEED 7 but I GET 3-5

According to the research, you only need 5.5. I get about 4-5 per night (sever chronic insomniac here) and that’s enough for me to function.

Definitely not best, but it’s bare minimum. We’re not talking human flourishing here lol.

If you’re curious, check out Dr. Gregg Jacobs’ work on sleep. He cited the studies about the 5.5hr minimum in his book, Say Goodnight to Insomnia.

I’d say I need between 6.5 and 7.5 but can go short bursts of time on 5ish

The minimum I need to function is 2. I average 4-5

Perfectly fine actually. I drink a lot of water and genetics and skin care do the rest. I’ve been sleeping like this for almost 10 years so it’s all good

Six ideally but will be less some nights.

Consultancy is not something you can do forever unless you are in charge/ the Director

I’m chillin around 6tbh. I’ve been doing that since forever, through college and sports.

To maintain adequate energy levels I need at least 8 a night

0, Adderall and black tea are all i need

8

I genuinely do not function well without 9. It’s what I need to feel energized and good. I usually get 8 and sleep in a bit on weekends (like 10 hours) to make up for it. I think part of it is my anemia though because I still feel tired a lot of the time. Or maybe it’s my work lol, cuz 1 day in the office takes my internal battery from 99% to 2%.

How do you deal with unresponsive summers? I’m a junior and overseeing my first project with summers (5 in total). Two are unresponsive and do not acknowledge my emails. Do I need to make it clear that I expect acknowledgement when I assign work? The other three don’t have a problem with this, so I’m not sure what it is.

I’m a closeted no book reader. I’ve maybe read 5 books over the last 10 years… My teams over the years are always talking about all the books they read and providing recommendations, but luckily people tend to be more interested in sharing what they read rather than listening so I’ve made it this far. I’m worried I’ll be discovered one day
