I get any where from 3-7 hours a night, it realy depends on how into a game I get. If I don't start playing a game that night, I could go to bed by 11 or 12, if I do start playing a game, It could be 3 or 4 am.

It isn't healthy, and on saturday I usualy sleep until 1 or 2, thats my catch up day.

Depending on what I am into at the moment, I may be up till 3. Then up at 6 to do it all over again. Did I mention that in between my 6 month old daughter wakes up for a bottle?
