    6 hrs on average I’d say.

    Would love 8 hr average. Feel a completely different person on 8 hrs.

    We have four kids (4, 6, 15, 18) all still at home, so once the little ones are in bed, there’s lunch boxes and teenage dramas to sort out, plus getting some time with my wife and some time in the man cave. It’s easily past midnight every night before all needs are seen to, often gets closer to 1am.

    Unfortunately my job has a quarterly cycle which destroys 4 weeks every quarter; during that time I get less, probably 4-5 hrs. Brutal. But hey, everyone’s fed, warm, healthy and happy - that is what parenting is about; paying back what your parents put into you.
