I typically get seven and a half to eight a night. Anything less than that and I am quite unpleasant to be around. I am a light sleeper and will take the dog's collar off because he insists on getting up at least once or twice a night to just shake himself, then lay back down. I got tired of his tags waking me at o'dark thirty. Mr. Tater has sleep apnea and must sleep with a mask and machine. Thankfully that stuff is quiet.
