How many hours of sleep do you get/need per night?

[Tod]

with the combination of my job requiring me to get up at 6:30am, and me spending each night out with my friends, and with me never being able to actually GO TO SLEEP until about 1, then tossing and turning and waking up on average 3 times a night; a full hard 4 1/2-5 hours of good sleep is rare. and working in the field of construction doesn't usually go peachy with that much sleep, or lack thereof. i do all my catching up on fridat nights and usually sleep till about 10;30am or at times even 11. i get ansy(sp?) any later than that because i don't want to miss the whole day because i'm in bed. it's a curse.
