How much sleep do you get?

Netwizard

I work nights so in bed for 7am, up at 5pm

When im not at work, in bed for 10, up at 10.

Im only 29 too!

i drop off at about 1 or 2am and then up at 7 but it is a very broken sleep up and down ever half an hour to 45 minutes

although have had one night in the past 7 years where i had no kids and no husband and i slept straight through for 17 hours that was a good sleep!

Usually between 7 and 8 hours a night during the week. Occasionally 12-13 hours one night of the weekend if I have sleep to catch up on from the week. Otherwise at weekends about 9-10 hours a night. Any less and I'm not at my best. The more I exercise the less sleep I feel like I "need" though- after a lifetime of being a couch potato this has been the biggest benefit of getting fit for me- I feel tired a lot less often these days

I need to set alarms at the weekend too, so that I don't waste the weekend sleeping because if I don't I sleep a minimum of 12 hours before I wake naturally. Sometimes far longer than that too!

I'm with you on this one, I HATE setting my alarm at the weekend but it has to be done otherwise I get no (awake!) time to myself at the weekend at all! :mad:

I never feel like I get enough sleep. I go to bed about 10pm usually, and am asleep by 10.30pm. My alarm goes off at 6.45am. That would probably be a decent amount of sleep if my OH didn't wake me up at gone midnight every night when he comes to bed.

I quite often have to have a nap when I get home from work.... and if I'm honest I've been known to have the odd nap at work too

Go to bed between 10pm and 11pm, wake up at 5:45am.

I try at least once a week to go to bed around 8pm for a good long sleep as i rarely get a chance to lay-in at weekends due to my hobbies.

Even if i have a weekend at home, i still struggle to stay in bed past 7am.

Try to be in bed by 11 - and mentally I'm doing the maths to get a theoretical 8 hrs; which never transpires. the cats are awake earlier and trampling across the bed or sitting on the chest! I tend to go in a cycle where after about 3 nights of not getting a good rest that I'm tired enough to go to bed early and (this is the trickiest bot) nod off quickly enough to not get into the lying awake worrying about not getting to sleep!

7-8 hours for me. I have a dog to get up for and walk in the morning so there's no chance for me to laze about sleeping in bed all day, as much as I'd like to! although it is great when you're up early on a weekend, you can get so much done!

I've had insomnia for years, and can function fairly well on four or five hours a night, often less, but only for so long. My problem is getting to sleep in the first place.

At weekends, I lie in whenever I can. Frankly, getting an extra few hours kip is never wasted time as it does me a lot of good.

Usually in bed between 10.30-1am. If I go at 11, I will read for a while, if it's closer to 1am it's usually lights out. I have an 18 month old but he's a great sleeper, and will usually do 7pm - 8/9am. So I usually get up around 7.45 to have a cuppa before he wakes

Usually the minute my head hits the pillow I'm out, not often I'm tossing and turning which I suppose helps.
