During uni term time, I'm lucky to get 6 hours a night during the week, sometimes only 5. By Friday I'll be like a zombie.
When left to mg own devices, I can easily sleep for 10 hours.

You’re doing it wrong, when I was at Uni I seemed to sleep most of the year. Since starting working life (quite a while ago) I’m lucky to fit in more than 6 hours. When left to mg own devices, I can easily sleep for 10 hours.

For lots of reasons, mostly based around my wife's working pattern usually I'm in bed for 9pm, asleep by 10:30 and awake at 06:30, but I can stay in bed (awake) til 07:30, but that's my limit - like to be up and doing stuff by 07:30 really.
That was until our Daughter arrives 6 weeks ago, sometimes I 'sleep' in 2 hour chunks, I say sleep because it takes me an age to get to sleep so it's nearer an hour, after a few days like that I'm seeing cats running around at the edge of my vision and I'm a liability on the road. Some glorious nights I'm asleep by midnight and sleep till 05:30am, those days I can even sometimes get back to sleep for 06:00am and get another 2 hours in before I have to get up for work...
And then there's nights like last night, got to sleep at about midnight, awoken at 1am because she sounded like she was chocking, I was deep-sleep to my feet in under 5 seconds - waking up like that does a real number on me, then again at 3am, then she woke up for a feed at 5am - the Wife obviously thought we should suffer together because she decided on jump back into bed about 5mm from my face and I had to be pulled off the ceiling - got back to sleep about 06:30 and woke up very late for work at 08:43.

5hrs a night. Any less and I'm an irritable git for an hour or two in the morning, any more and I feel almost as tired as if I'd had only a couple of hours kip.
Hopefully it's not shortening my lifespan but sleeping more feels like a waste of valuable time that could be spent doing other things. Never enough minutes in the day as it is.

I work shifts, so aim to be in bed 8 hours before whatever time I have to be awake. Find it very hard to go to bed much before 8pm though. The last couple of weeks my shift pattern has been all over the place and I've had a few nights of 2 hours, 4 hours and mostly 5 or 6 hours. I don't know how people do it month in, month out. I feel drained! If I get 7 hours sleep I'm normally okay.
