This topic is here to discuss how many hours of sleep you people often get. Pretty much, when do you go to sleep, and when do you wake up. (For example, do you have a curfew, and do you abuse it?)
(This topic is not to be confused with the topic called Dreams.)
For me, I usually try to sleep when I want to, there's no real defined sleeping period. And the numbers of hours I get may vary, but at least there are times when I do get enough sleep, at least... :)
I probably get more when sleeping during night than during day, though? (Due to certain, ahem... distractions...)

I do feel that if you can do anything for your health, though, that sleep should be the very first thing to pay attention to:
-Immune System & Life expectency

So, to recap on the question, how many hours are we (the Community) getting, and when? - And as a bonus question: What do you do to help you sleep, if anything? (Ex: Avoid blue light, sleep medication, exercise, foods/drinks like tart cherry juice, etc.)
(Might make this a Power topic because it's a basic personality thing.)
I fall into bad hapbits of going to bed late, for years I stayed up to 2am at least everynight, even if i had work or school the next day, for a few months there I was going well and kinda got outa it and I felt fresh as expected but its half 1am now so its slipping back into it. Yesterday I was up to half 5. literally doing nothing
To help me get to sleep I put one earphone in and stick on a podcast
Either
Nintendo voice chat
Giant bombcast
IGN UK podcast
Podcast Beyond
etc etc
I could also suggest stuff from Dr. Oz. - If you're tired, it may be worth getting a 10 minute nap... But if you get a few hours and wake up, it's like jumping off a rollar coaster. (Or something.)
And yeah, I also cheated sleep with grade school back then as well... Could go 2 days + night (~36 hours) without sleep sometimes. (The most I recall ever doing was probably 3 days + 2 nights... but it's extremely rare and it feels like a long time ago that I can't be sure anymore? I probably only went that far maybe once(?), I'm guessing... chances are, I probably had some micro-sleeps.. (You know you can actually sleep for just a few seconds, right?)
Usually I get 7-8 hours, but after getting sick, getting slammed with allergies, and then getting hit with a cracked rib, my body's all "Screw it", and now I typically get 9-10. I suppose my body needs it to help heal. :/
I sleep pretty much from 10 pm to 7 am every day. Sometimes I'll push myself further out.
There are times I've had panic attacks about issues in my personal life, and that can lead to sleepless nights.
During the weekdays, i sleep 2-3 hours a day. While in the weekends it goes from 6-8 i think. Not that I have a problem sleeping. I just choose not to sleep as much. If anything I fall asleep too easily, specially if boring things are happening
About 7 to 8 hours on a good night.
