After I started this thread, I started wondering what is the average number of hours slept these days. I remember hearing/reading that it was something like 8 for an adult and 10 for a kid - then again these might have been "suggested" hours of sleep.

I did a quick Google search and found an unscientific internet poll. By the sounds of things, it seems to be close to what we're getting here.

This was an interesting article which suggested that 8.1 was the average but it varied from 6-10 depending on the individual.
