I usually can't sleep for more than 8-9 hours, but try to get at least 7-7.5 per night.
One trick I've picked up from my 7-months-pregnant wife is that if you find yourself regretting the early arrival of 6:30 AM (because you have to get up and go to work), you should get up with her in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom (or whatever, just wake up a little). Then, you actively realize how many more hours of sleep you have. Works wonders for my mood at 0630.
