How many hours to you sleep?

[I be me]

I was thinking, most crafts I don't have enough time to do, I barely plan for them and never really get them started.
But then I was thinking that if I didn't spend so damn many hours of the day sleeping then I wouldn't have this problem.
Then I wondered how many craftaholics are just insomniacs needing something to do.
I don't think I have really had enough time to do any kind of decent craft since I started working full time like a year ago.

So how many hours a night do you sleep?
and how many hours a week do you work at jobs/school?
And how many hours do you find left over to dedicate to craft of choice?

i hate my dependency on sleep. If not for that i might be able to get a fair amount of work done!! I tend to sleep 7.5-9 hrs on average.

I tend to have pretty bad insomnia problems. Though crocheting is part of the problem, since once I start something I hate to leave it until I'm finished. Anyways, I usually go to sleep between 11:00 PM and 2:00 AM, get up at 6:20 on school days. Soo, I usually get about 7 hours on a good day. Go me.

i normally get somewhere between 5 and 10 hours of sleep, with my crafting filling in when i can't get to sleep and the boring parts of the day.

I usually sleep between 6-8 hours on the weekdays, and probably 7-9 on the weekends.
But with school in, I hardly have time to knit or crochet anything! crying
Besides... I don't have any idea what to knit or crochet anyway... sweatdrop

I usually get 7 hours on weekdays, and 9 on weekends.

And I knit all the time. It has nothing to do with sleeplessness.

I suffer from pretty bad insomnia so I'm lucky if I manage to get around 6 hours of sleep every night.
But because I only do 14 hours a week of classes and I live near my uni, I have a lot of free time.
I only spend an hour or two a day on knitting though. My rationale is that if I use up my yarn slower, then I don't need to face the terror of bargaining in Korean.

I usually get to bed by 10, and the alarm goes off at 6. I have been known to shut it off, and wait for the 6:30 and 7 alarms (yes, I have 3 sweatdrop ).

I don't get much dedicated crafting time, because of my grandmother and the kids, so my projects tend to stay simple. The front of my husband's sweater is waiting downstairs by the bed, since that's simple stockinette, and I have Galway Paint OnTN, to be knit and felted into a Möebius bowl. Any complicated patterns will have to wait until the little one gets to school (in 3 years gonk )

I sleep 6-7 hours a day, and I spent about 4 hours a day at school. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, most of that time is not spent in a classroom, but hanging around and waiting for my ride to finish class. I prefer to spend that time reading, since I worry that any knitting projects I bring with will bounce off the needles in my backpack.

Homework is surprisingly light this semester, so I have a lot of free time to do whatever crafts I want to do. And I am certainly doing a lot! I finished up a couple WIPs, have most of a new project finished, and I've already spun nearly four skeins of yarn with the wheel I bought last month, two of which were from fiber I dyed myself. I've been super productive, to the point where it's starting to wear me out.

I don't work, since I'm not willing to put in a lot of time for that. I wouldn't mind doing a little something to earn some money, but I wouldn't want to pick up anything that would require more than 15 hours a week. Try finding that in this area. sweatdrop

7 to 8 hours a night. I craft when I have nothing else to do  

[ladyleprechaun13]

4-6, depending on when I get home and how much of an insomniac I am at the moment. I craft whenever I can, usually during our (very slow) D&D sessions.

I get about 5 hours of sleep per night, I work from 3:00 am to 12:30 and I go to school on tusdays and thursdays. I do all my knitting on my breaks, inbetween my classes, and when I should be sleeping. And my doctor wonders why I'm always suffering from sleep deprivation!
