I try to sleep as much as I can. Sleep is very important for your health. I go to bed at 10pm and up at 5am. Only 7 hrs of sleep a night. I must try to get to bed a tad earlier...lol. Please don't try to sleep less than 7 hrs as it can be harmful to us.

try for 7 or 8 but once I wake up, I'm up.  I'm retired and always thought I'd be able to sleep later but sleeping late just doesn't happen for me.   I wish I could be a nap person but I'm not, my husband can take a nap anytime any day.

Usually between 7 and 8 hours a night.  I also try to squeeze in a 1 1/2 hour nap in the afternoon.  It revitalizes me!

its hard to say, I have a cat that roams that wakes me up several times during the night, so maybe I get 4-5 hours of actual sleep

I fall asleep at between 8-9 p.m., which is a holdover from when I worked) and wake up at 11:30 p.m. Then I'm awake until between 4-6 a.m. and fall asleep until 7 a.m. Sometimes I take a nap in the afternoon, but usually I just fall asleep at the computer for a "cat nap."  The more sleep I get, the more I want, so I stick with this schedule. I've tried being "normal" but it never worked.

I rarely get  more then 6 hours, I don't care how late I stay up I am up around 5-5:30, always have been. And I would love to be able to sleep in. Now hubby can sleep in every day if he didn't have to work. And he can take a nap of 1-3 hours and then go to bed  early. But he does get up for a couple of hours during the nap. Taking long naps  does not help. If I lay down for a nap I get about 20 minutes and  get up.

I probably get eight hours of sleep, but it is interrupted sleep.  I stay at my daughter's house to keep her two year old son and my bed is in the nursery.  My grandson will not sleep in his bed all night long.  He will wake up and come to get in the bed with me.  I also have to get up at sox to wake up my older two grandsons for school.

Nobody is "normal" as it applies to anything. What works for you is what works for you.  :star:

I sleep pretty well most nights unless I talk to someone who talks about how they can't sleep. I'm highly suggestible.

I usually get at least 7 to 8 hours sleep. However it is broken sleep as I am a light sleeper and the least little noise outside wakes me.

    Sleep is a necessity...not a luxury.
    Quality sleep matters.
    Sleep calms me down...makes me relax.
    I feel better after I get enough sleep.

You should really sleep until your whole body  is rested and recovered  and in tip top shape but we don't live in a perfect world and you don't recover from everything in 7-8 hours.

I always 'slept more than normal'. My family always said I didn't need to sleep that much. Finally I came across a study showing an average of how much different age groups need to sleep. What was more important to me though was that they found two groups that didn't fit. the first group did better on very little sleep. 3-4 hours tops. The second group needed much more sleep. 9-12 hours. I've always needed more sleep and cannot function on normal sleep. 8 hours for me is like 4 hours for most people.

Working full time on an early shift its so hard to get 8 hours sleep everyday.  That's why during my days off just stay in a bed and trying to get that much sleep I needed.

I have fibromyalgia and part of that is not sleeping so I don't sleep well at all.  Almost always on Saturday night I either don't sleep at all or maybe get 2 hrs.  Most nights are about 2 to 4 hrs of straight sleep.

I average about 10 hours. I've been told I sleep too much and I'm "lazy," but my body thinks it needs 10 hours and that's what it will get.

I would love to get 7 - 8 hours of sleep. But with my current job and financial situation, I'll be lucky to get away with 4 - 5 hours. Thankfully, the situation will not be forever. 7 - 8 hour nights of sleep, here I come!

 I know I don't get enough sleep. I average about 4 to 5 hours a night.  I just don't sleep well. I would love to go between six and eight hours a night. Sometimes I get a quick cat nap for about an hour or so during the day.  :rainbow:  :peace: :snowflake: :wave:

Post by: gtdoss on January 04, 2018, 04:49:29 pm
I need to get at least 10 hours of sleep a night. Otherwise I just can't focus. If I didn't have things I needed to do during the day, I'd probably be able to sleep 14 hours a day! I just love sleep! My grandma told me long ago that when I got older I'd need less and less sleep, as she only slept maybe 5 hours a night. But it's the opposite for me: when I was younger, I hardly needed any sleep. And now that I'm older, I need more and more sleep!  :-[
