Eight hours. The biggest barriers for me are caffeine intake and distractions like watching films or TV series.

I am prone to doom-scrolling on my phone so even when I go to bed, I may not get to sleep for a couple of hours. Last night I only got six-and-a-half hours.

I got about seven-to-eight hours last night. The main issue in shared accommodation is that there are people on different taskings, so someone is always getting up early while others are working through the night.

I try to get a full eight hours every night as it’s vital to a healthy work-life balance. I always go to bed and get up at set times. Last night I got eight-and-a-half hours.

On average I will have around six to seven hours. On this tour the UK–Cyprus time difference is a factor because when I talk to my family they are two hours behind us.

Seven hours. Between being a mum and switching off from work, getting more sleep is always a struggle

About six hours – I could definitely improve on my sleep hygiene. Different start times and caffeine don’t help.
