I try to get at least 7, preferrably 8, but not more than 9. Any more and I feel tired for the rest of the day. Less, and I don't feel like my mind is as sharp as I'd like. Left to my own devices, I don't get very much done at either end of things.
I can work with too much sleep, if I have something that needs doing. But with too little, I find that the code I write isn't very good and wind up rewriting it later on. I write better code after a few drinks than when I haven't had enough sleep, for example.
