I've turned into a lazy **** these days. Don't bother getting up before 10:00 am and usualy nod off when I get home after the gym around lunch time.

sorta depends. between 6 and 9 hours i think.

If your not having protein in the middle of the night (like i do) then i think you should really try and at least get some protein in asap as soon as u wake up, no more than 8 hours....

i personally dont like leaving more than 5.

I usually wake up at 3-4 in the morning and have some cereal during the week as I'm training quite hard but at the weekend I'm sound'o til I wake.

Catabolism isn't really a problem with me and never has been so I'm not too concerned with my nitrogen balance.

Sometimes You just gotta sleep!

I usually get about 7 hours sleep for 3 days a week. And on the other four days I get about 9 hours.

6-8 hrs average

About 5 hours here, I get up at 4.30 have some food then hit the gym at 6.30am, when I've finished work I get my head down for an hour.
