Normal nights when work is slow I'm lucky to get about 6 hrs. When we're busy it's usually about 3-4 hrs. Unfortunately it's streaky, so I'll have to go 3-4 weeks of 3-4 hrs and then try to catch up with a week or two of 6-7 hr nights.
 
i can't let myself get to bed early enough to get the 7-8 hrs i need to function. i survive on 5-6 but i am pretty mushy all day (and i can't handle caffeine, so i am doing it all on nervous energy).

its funny for me to see this today. it is the first day of school here. i went to bed around 2; i was up by 7.

man, the school year hurts...
