How sleep deprived are you?

I used to college all week and work all weekend with literally a 2 hr nap on weekends and maybe 4-6 hours a night in the week, I had a period of going thru every single sleep aid out there, valerian (used to chew 10 with a bottle of wine), diphenhydramine, temazepam, nitrazepam... finally got a long term prescription from the docs and it helps knock me the fuck out 4 days out of 7 but those other days I either get an hour or 2 or just wait for the next time my mind shuts down lol, nothing new since I've been a zombie kinda guy since I was born, I've never desired to fall asleep, I love dreaming and explore lucid dreams quite a bit, it's the process of shutting down I've never been able to compute..

It varies. Uninterrupted I can sleep anywhere from 8 hours to something ridiculous like 13, although the latter only happens if I've been staying awake for long periods of time and forcing myself awake after only a few hours. But for the last year or so I haven't been sleeping at night uninterrupted at all, I always wake up several times a night for whatever reason. Sometimes it's night terrors, sometimes it's just a random thing, but it's usually only for a minute or two. It never affects how I feel during the day, oddly enough, it just happens. During the day I sleep fine though. Although, I don't think I've ever been consistently sleep deprived because I always get at least seven or eight hours whenever I lay down. I've never woke up 2-6 hours afterward unless I set a bunch of alarms or someone wakes me up.

On days I work I get about 5-7 hours of sleep, depending on how bad my 'insomnia' is that night. On days I don't work, I get about 9 or so. No matter how early I wake up or how hard I work during the day, I always become wide awake at night and can't sleep. On top of that, a lot of work nights I end up waking up every few hours, sometimes unable to go back to sleep. It's fun stuff.

I went to bed at 11 last night, woke an hour later, then slept until 4.30am. Woke up at 6am and I've been awake since.

This is going to be a long day - I'm swimming, attending a sports event camera in hand, then going out for a meal + evening with my lady friend.

I swear I'm going to be a zombie by 7pm.

I just fucking can't sleep anymore. I fell asleep around 1 AM last night, woke up around 4:30 in the morning, had a slice of pizza and played Nintendo for a few hours before I forced myself to sleep around six.

Love hate relationship. I love it when I get a full hibernation, like eleven hours. I hate it when I get two or three every few hours.
