In the week I do 7.5 hours a night. 9:30 to 5am. I find I wake up feeling best if I get sleep in blocks of 1.5 hours (with a bare minimum of 4.5) so depending on circumstance I do 6 hours some nights (go to bed later) or 9 if I need to catch up some sleep (wake up later).

I find that consistently getting 6 hours is survivable, but if I do it for too long I feel quite sluggish mentally.

On the weekends the strict schedule goes out the window. I go to bed when I get home or if its a night in when I'm tired, and wake up whenever it feels right.
