Do You get enough Sleep?
-
No but no matter what time I go to bed, I seem to wake up at the same time ~ much too early!!
-
Only on weekends
-
I don't get enough sleep. My bed is not that comfortable and I get anxious knowing I have to wake up early in the morning for work. I hope I will sleep better on my new bed.
-
Plenty maybe you should get some more judging by the way you post :silly: 8)
-
Lately no even though I take sleeping meds. Maybe 5hrs then tired most of the day.
-
With a special needs daughter and a 10 year old son that seem to never sleep, I never seem to get enough sleep.
-
Nope. Always feel tired.
-
No I do not with a big family and things to do it takes up more of the Hours from my sleep.
-
I sleep enough...and feel better every day.
-
I think that everyone is of the belief that they never get enough sleep. Health professionals have been trained to tell us that everyone needs eight hours of sleep and ten glasses of water. Psychologists will tell you that you need less than an hour of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. I believe that my body, and mind can recover after five to six hours of sleep. I think that a person can train their body/mind to live on less sleep by simply programming your mind to accept lower amounts of sleep. Similar to taking daily steps in order to achieve a goal I set my alarm clock for one minute of sleep less every month for a year. I now go to bed between twelve and eleven and wake up between four and four thirty in the morning. I do thin Monday through Saturday and allow myself the luxury of an eight hour sleep on Sundays.
-
Nope I wake up way too much, so the sleep I do get is not restful.
-
It depends on the night. I haven't been sleeping well for about a month because I had total knee replacement on my right knee and it is hard to get comfortable. Also, there are some nights that my two older grandsons stay up all night and they are very loud.
-
I think so. I sleep fairly well, but wake up kind of early. However, I can always stand to take a nap during the day if the opportunity presents itself.
And honestly, driving long distances always makes me really sleepy. I sometimes just yawn incessantly when I drive.
:fish:
-
Nope. I very rarely get enough sleep. I usually wake up after 2 or 3 hrs and have trouble getting back to sleep.
-
On average, I get maybe 5 hours when I have to work. My work start time is 0500.
-
I have the hardest time falling asleep or stay asleep.

Do You get enough Sleep?
Hello!
No, I definately don't get enough sleep. I'm working on that though wish me luck
-
With school and other life commitments, it's hard to sleep anymore. I'm lucky when I get 6 hours.
-
I never get enough sleep -- even when I get 12 hours. There was major drama at my boyfriend's house when I "dared" to take an hour and a half nap one afternoon. They saw it as a sign of weakness and thought something was medical wrong with me. Well ... there is ... I'm on multiple prescription medications, but there's no need to be mean to me about it.
-
I try to but I know I don't. :(
-
I do get enough sleep, it's just that I find it heard to get out of bed. I usually go to bed around 2 AM and get up about 10 am which makes my day a lot shorter to do anything.
-
There are a lot of health problems associated with
"not sleeping the minimum amount of recommended hours,
lack of midday napping or resting whenever necessary".
-
I wake up in the middle of the night a lot. I lay there for and hour or two and eventually fall asleep again.
-
Not getting enough sleep lately is just the story of my life. Always tired!
-
I usual get my 7 or 8 now that I retired, only got 5 when I worked.
-
Some nights I lay awake in bed just thinking about my life for hours and cannot seem to get to sleep at all, but on other nights I fall right asleep and sleep the whole night. I can never tell which sort of night I am going to have when I hit the sack.
-
I usually stay asleep once I fall, but getting there is sometimes hard. I can spend a few hours trying to sleep if I don't take a bit of melatonin.
-
Not enough sleep, lack of sleep or reasonable rest-
It is called: "Sleep Depravation".
It will negatively affect your health.
-
Ever since I started taking the drug Ambien, I have been sleeping better. I been trying too use a C-PAP machine too but I just can't get use too it while I sleep.
-
I don't think any of us do! I get about 4-5 hours and no matter what wake up at 3-330 every day, fall sleep again, but I have to get up at 5 to get to work by 630.
I know they say you should sleep more but even on weekends my body is so used to waking up early that I cannot sleep late. Always awake by 6 no matter what day of the week.
-
I try to get enough Sleep, but there are many times that my Day's have been so long and I wind up getting in bed late.
-
I get enough sleep at night but if the urge hits I take a nap
-
I don't think so. I get enough to be productive and replenish my body but not to get a total reset as we should.
-
I plan to treat myself to a luxury bed this year, something around a couple grand. I never thought it was necessary to spend that much on a bed but I feel differently now.
-
Yes I get enough sleep. Do you set an alarm clock? You could also go to bed earlier, even if you didn't feel like it.
-
Yes i do; if i don't, i dream of my bed during the day.
-
Now that I am retired, I finally get good sleep. In my working years I never got more than 4, 5 hours sleep a night.
-
I never got enough sleep when I was working and raising my kids, but now that I am retired, I sleep from 8-9 hours almost every night.
-
Not at all, and the time change doesn't help one bit.
-
When I don't work, I sleep better but otherwise, I tend to not get enough sleep.
-
No, I read that adults need between 7-9 hours of sleep, I'm lucky if I get 4-5 hours!
-
A resounding NO from my end. My work day (and school schedule) are extremely hectic. Oftentimes, I go to bed around 8 PM and wake up around 2 AM the next morning. Thankfully, I should be done with school by the end of this year, which would free up more time to sleep, relax, etc.
-
Sometimes but coming next not. Summer is coming so I need to go to work at 5am , waking up so early. Working in the store near beach during summer is crazy.
-
for a long time I was not sleeping,,,, i would sleep maybe 2 hours wake up,,,, finally get back to sleep then wake up 2 hours later,,, it was horrible. told my Dr abut it and he sent me to a sleep Dr,,, had a sleep study done.. Turned out I have sleep Apnea,,,,, stopped breathing 54 times an hour,,, not a good thing. Year later, I am now getting 6 to 8 hours every night not tired through out the day. more energy. Thanks to my Cpap !!!! Some people just refuse to get a sleep study done and use a cpap,,, its no biggie !!!! it will save your life :)
-
I'm so good at sleep. If I don't get enough I don't function very well. And if I'm not at 100 % I will take a power nap if possible to I can power up. I wish I didn't need 8-10 hours of sleep. Some people only need 6 or 7 and they do greatl
-
Only on weekends
Same here...lol
-
I had a teacher in high school that only slept about 3-4 hours per night, he said any longer was a waste of precious time.
I think the amount of sleep we get is part of your mindset and what your body is used to. Once you change it, your perspectives change.
-
Seems like every night there is some new reason I don't get quite as much sleep as I'm trying to. I generally stay asleep once I fall, but it can take me a few hours to fall. Melatonin helps.
-
Yes, the day isn't long enough. On most nights I only get 5 hours sleep. I still have things that need to done.
-
Definitely not. I have a new medication that pretty much prevents sleep, yet I'm always exhausted anyways. It doesn't make any sense!
-
only on the weekends do i get enough
-
Most of the time I do get enough sleep. I've always been one that needs 9-10 hours of sleep to function. I can still function pretty darn well off 8 now. Any less than that I find myself needing naps. Which if time allows power naps are enough to get me through. Lately though my daughter has been setting her alarm for 5:30 a.m. Than presses snooze for 2 1/2 hours. Now that's interrupted sleep I've not dealt with well.

I do not base my answer to "do you get enough sleep" on what some health care person says. I base it on how I feel. Sometimes I do. Sometimes I do not.
I do not believe you can program your mind to get by on less sleep. When I was younger I could sleep 5 hours or so and be fine. As I get older I do not do as well under those conditions. Sometimes you do what you have to. We have a local factory that at times forces their employees to work 16 hour shifts. That leaves 8 hours of not working. Factor in driving to and from work, eating, doing things you have to do, and they are getting 4-5 hours of sleep. You do what you have to do. They are not getting enough sleep but it doesn't mean their body will just shut down.
It does explain why there are random accidents sometimes resulting in death (no joke) but it is written off as something else or a freak accident.
-
I get more sleep than I used to when I had a serious addiction to technology, but I still don’t quite get sleepy at the right time.
-
I usually get around 6 hours of sleep. Or I go to sleep at 5am and wake up at 12pm-12:30pm. There are times I'm not sleepy but I'll play a game on my tablet until I fall asleep. :)
-
no due to work
-
i agree i get more on weekends
-
Well that was about the 20th night in a row I couldn't sleep straight through the night for some unique reason! This time my dog woke me up at 1 having to go potty. One of these nights I'll get a solid 8 hours somehow.
-
A solid eight hour sleep has eluded me for so long, I lost track of it. What is surprising is, I can sleep more soundly during the morning hours.
-
I get sleep, but not rest. There is a difference. I have sleep apnea and have been having issues with shortness of breath that prevent me from using my cpap machine. I definitely notice the difference in my sleep as I feel more tired during the day despite getting 8 hours of sleep and sometimes more. I have had issues waking up too early and not being able to get back to sleep despite being tired and taking a long time to fall asleep. I feel like I am lying in bed for 8 hours with my eyes closed and don't feel well rested and refreshed. I am going to a doctor now to try to help me so I hope I get better soon.
-
Not really. Thanks, school!
-
I feel great when I get up in the morning but I also take a nap everyday when possible.
-
I do now. I usually With my current job, I get home at a decent time, think about what is for dinner and I usually plan activities and things that I need to do so that the majority of things can be done on the weekend when I have off.
-
Yes, I think I do, I tend to sleep through the night; even when I wake up early morning, I can generally fall back to sleep for maybe an hour or two. I don't function well when I don't get enough sleep at night and I have never been much of a napper during the day.
-
Absolutely not; I wake up during the night and arise automatically too early.
-
Quality sleep is important for health so I plan to purchase a luxury mattress soon, hopefully that helps.
-
No, I never get enough Sleep. If I go to Bed early, I wake up all during the Night. If I go to Bed on time or late, I still wake up at the same time and that is around 4 am.
