What are the parts of this sentence?

Can someone help me label the different parts of this sentence? I think I might be confusing myself:

"I get five hours of sleep on average every night"

My guess is:

"I" Subject/Noun..."get" Verb... "five" adjective..."hours" Object/Noun..."of" preposition..."sleep" Object of prep/noun..."on" preposition... "average" object of preposition/noun..."every" adverb..."night" adverb.
