How many hours of sleep did you get last night?

[Orema]

I hope your fire house sleep was good, Orema!

:giggle:

I got about 8 last night. Delicious!

Glad you got lots of rest. :) And, it wasn't bad for me since I have a few days off. I just have to get back on schedule by Monday.

Things could be worse.

[pajama]

Apparently not enough since I'm sitting here dozing off at 9:30.... AM!

[Liam]

Six hours.

[Chad]

6.5 hours and I feel good.

[Bèsame*]

10 hours! That's unheard of for me, to say the least. All that caffeine from inventory must have worn off!

[homoe]

6.5 hours and I feel good.

NOW say it with SOUL bro, and jump around like James Brown would................

[Gemme]

I've done well the past couple of nights, about or close to 8 hours each night. Let's hope 3 times is the charm tonight.

[Liam]

Six hours.

[Orema]

Eight, but it wasn't good.

[Gayandgray]

Just took a 2mand a half hour nap, since I have a lot to do today.:hangloose::hangloose::hangloose: Will probably be an early night for me, though!

[Gemme]

I've done well the past couple of nights, about or close to 8 hours each night. Let's hope 3 times is the charm tonight.

Nope.

I jinxed myself.

I got about 6 to 6.5 hours.

DarnitalltoHell.

[Liam]

Six hours.

[Orema]

Six hours.

Five, couldn't go to sleep till after 11pm. I'll catch up soon.

[Gayandgray]

10!!!!!:jester::jester::jester::jester:

[Gemme]

Between 6.5 and 7 but that's what I said I would get when I laid down, so it's good.

[Liam]

Five and a half hours.

[Orema]

Seven and a half and I'm still a little tired. Will play catch up this weekend.

[Gemme]

Not as many as I'll be getting tonight, I promise you.

[Orema]

6 and could have used more. Will play catch up when I can.

[Gemme]

About 7 I think. My muscles wanted more.

[Liam]

Six and a half hours.

[2qt]

Not enough to really count as sleep lol :seeingstars:

[PlatinumPearl]

I slept 6 hrs. I can sleep anywhere between 4-6 hrs. during the week. On the weekend I sleep anywhere from 7-7.5 hrs.

[Liam]

Seven and a half hours!

[Orema]

Seven and a half.

[Orema]

six hours and wanted more.

[Gemme]

About 5 hours the first time. I woke up and realized I'd fallen asleep with all the lights on in the house and with my face still on so I turned those off, turned off the computer, washed my face and brushed my teeth and went back for round 2, which gave me a little over another 2 hours and then I drifted back for another hour. All in all, about 8 hours but it doesn't feel that way.

[Orema]

Six and a half. Could have used more, but that's okay.

[MsTinkerbelly]

4 hours, but that was because I had a 3 hour nap yesterday afternoon.

[Gayandgray]

I actually haven't been to bed yet! Slept about 4 & a half hrs yesterday, then worked my 16 hr shift and figured I'd come home and take a nap. But guess what? I'm not tired..:seeingstars::seeingstars:
Actually waiting on the electrician to get here now and spent some quality time with my bff this morning. She stays here on weekends to help my spouse when I'm at work, and we had coffee and girl talk for awhile.

[2qt]

Between the broken sleep & the alarm....... 2 maybe 3 tops... :blink:

[Gayandgray]

I finally got sleepy enough to actually sleep at 6pm and slept until 8am, so 14 hrs total. :hangloose::hangloose:

[Orema]

Eight last night and eight the night before. Feeling well rested.

[Gemme]

I got about 8 last night plus a surprise 2 when I accidentally fell asleep this afternoon.

[Orema]

6.5 hours last night. A little tired this morning but I'll be okay in an hour or so.

[Gayandgray]

I think right around 8 hours.

[JDeere]

6, not enough, but I think its the pain meds that are making me really tired.

[Gemme]

Not enough, maybe 5.

[Gayandgray]

Took a 3 hr nap when I got off work this morning. Feeling good but will probably fall asleep before midnite.

[Orema]

I slept 4 hours, if that.

[Gayandgray]

Not enough...........

[Kätzchen]

I normally get all cozy with my pillows in bed, snuggling the pillows up to me so I've got specific areas supported for comfort.....but when I rose from sleep, I was at the other end of the bed and pillows were everywhere on the floor and all over the bed. Not sure how that happened....*lol* :blush:

It felt good to sleep about 9 hours....tho. :balloon:

[Gayandgray]

Maybe 6 or 7

Yikes, almost sounds like somebody tried to sneak in that bed with ya there Miss Katz.........baton down those hatches a tad tighter tonight or not :hangloose:

[Orema]

6 hours and it was a good sleep. I've started taking 5mg of Ambien and it's been helping. It doesn't have me groggy in the morning as it did when I tried it after I had a heart attack years ago. And it gives me an uninterrupted sleep for at least 4 hours ... sometimes longer. I really like that.

Grass/keif gives me a deep sleep but I wake up often ... I prefer the Ambien for a sleep aid.

[Gayandgray]

8 hours of deep sleep.

[akiza]

less than two hours 3am-5am something

[girl_dee]

about 5... and it was a good sleep

[Kätzchen]

Not much tonight.... something woke me up, but I'm going back to bed (hopefully ).

[kittygrrl]

not as much as i needed!

[Tuff Stuff]

8 hours of deep sleep.

Yep, same here :cheerleader:

[homoe]

Not much tonight.... something woke me up, but I'm going back to bed (hopefully ).


Perhaps it was Santa on your roof making sure there would be no complications to dropping off gifts on Dec 24th? :santa1:

GQQD thinking, homoe!

[cricket26]

we went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 9:48 only because one of our phones went off...12 hours...that never happens...and we puppy sat last nite (i did get up at 5:30 to let the puppies out...and we went right back to sleep)

[Sunshine]

I made sure to get all the sleep I could last week and last night I slept 8 hrs. I officially start transcribing today and it's going to be a very challenging for the next 9 weeks with no room to sleep or anything else.

I really enjoy what I'm learning so I am willing to sacrifice what I need to in order to succeed. I love the crisp cold air in the morning and not to mention the beautiful silence. It helps me focus.

I try and go to bed by 8 pm reading a lesbian story on my kindle, fall asleep between 8:30 and 9 pm. If I wake up at night, I watch the stars until I fall back to sleep. It's very peaceful to me. I wake up around 4 or 5 am, depending on how I feel.

[akiza]

almost 9 hours hum 8 pm-1 am stayed online until 5 am and got 3 hours of sleep until 8 am

[akiza]

3h30m 4am until 7.30 am yes not very nice but it happens

[Deborah*]

8 hours.

Deborah

[Gayandgray]

I guess around 7 hours? But I still woke up tired......

[JDeere]

I got about 9, but on and off sleep, as usual.

[*Anya*]

7.5 which is about 1.5 hours more than usual.

I can tell the difference.

Must get to bed earlier on a regular basis!

[Kätzchen]

I put the dogs in their crates and slept like a baby for nearly 9 hours. Joy! :hk28:

[Medusa]

WOW! I got a full 6 hours! That's more than I've gotten in a month and I feel pretty amazing today!

[candy_coated_bitch]

I got about six hours too. That's a lot for me so I feel pretty good.

[C0LLETTE]

I got about six hours too. That's a lot for me so I feel pretty good.

6 too, and same.

[Kätzchen]

I slept about 7 hours, maybe longer, but my sleep was laced with dreams, some of them I don't even remember. But at least I slept.

[Gayandgray]

Not much. I was up and down with my sick dog.:vigil:

[Kätzchen]

Not as much as I'd like because while washing and drying a small load of laundry yesterday, the bones in my lower sacral area of my back snapped, crackled and popped (big owies!)

I only slept for about five hours, but I hope to sleep a bit more before the sun comes up.

[nycfem]

7 hours, I got in bed at 9:15 PM and fell asleep at 10:15 PM and woke up at 5:15 AM.

[MsTinkerbelly]

I haven’t been sleeping well, but last night I only slept around 4 hours!

I’m working on getting the crabby out and my groove back. :goodluck:

[kittygrrl]

not many (of late) but feeling much better :hk20:

Almost sounds like that trio was back there trying to make some Rice Krispy Treats.........feel better Miss Katz

[akiza]

6 hours ish 10pm-11pm and woke up to send messages of new year to my friends on fb until 3 am something and sleeped after until 8 am something

[Gemme]

About 5 hours or so.

[FireSignFemme]

I went to bed around five this morning, woke up around two this afternoon and now at 7 PM, again I'm feeling the lights begin to fade. So I'm going to try and make it through the evening news while playing a bit in the arcade, and then head to bed early.

[Kätzchen]

I've had an awful upper respiratory viral illness which has made it nearly impossible to breathe while I try to sleep, but last night I slept nearly 10 hours due to hardly any sleep over the duration of my illness. I feel rested today and hope I'm on the mend. :bunchflowers:

[akiza]

hardly 4 hours i'm up since 12 pm

[Kätzchen]

OMG, I saw a spider and tried to catch the spider (to take them back outside), but I couldn't catch the spider....I think I slept maybe only two winks (2 hours, maybe ). :|

<<<<<<~~ might take a nap later today, if possible.

[clay]

Yesterday was an incredible day. I spent some quality time......and really enjoyed it.

I slept really well last night.......am settling in & letting go...moving on...:) Thank YOU!

[Bèsame*]

Seven and a half hours of comfortable and peaceful sleep.

[FireSignFemme]

Six hours of broken sleep and somewhere towards the end of it a very strange dream that I can hardly, barely remember, even the gist of it.

[Medusa]

According to my Fitbit I got about 4 hours of sleep.
I wholeheartedly blame C because she kept me up most of the night with plans to take over the world, random laughter, and kicking each other under the covers like we've been doing since we were 15.

AND she invited my 70-pound Golden up into the bed with us which meant I had approximately 4 millimeters of room in which to sleep.

Good thing I love them both to pieces. <3

[Gemme]

I think I actually got over 7 hours last night. It's been scarce lately.

[Mopsie]

Maybe two hours... I was worrying about a mistake I made at work yesterday. I realized I made the mistake around midnight last night. Then I couldn't stop thinking about it all night. Now I'm nearly sick to my stomach about it.

I know there's nothing I can do about it at this point but I'm not so good at the "letting go" thing. My anxiety level is pretty high so I'm trying to distract myself in the arcade.

I'm like this too but I turn the anxiety about the error into fuel to figure out the solution so that when I get back into work, I am armed for anything.

Awww, Mops, I'm giving you a big virtual hug. I totally relate. I'm thinking about you, hoping the mistake isn't as bad as you think it is, and hoping you go easy on yourself no matter what.

Thanks gals - unfortunately I've been at work for 4 hours now trying to fix the mistake. I called my supervisor to update her on what's going on. I was feeling pretty emotional after not having any sleep. Towards the end of the conversation I asked if I was going to get fired over this and her response was, "maybe." :(

So you have just as much chance of not being fired as being fired is what I'm hearing you say. Just breathe. What's done is done and all you can do at this point is to mitigate the damage as much as possible and do your best to fix it as best as it can be done. That must have been a really hard conversation. I'm sorry it happened.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

[kittygrrl]

almost too many..nice for a change

[girl_dee]

not nearly enough........... a nap is in store for me today

[akiza]

i can say 10h ^^ even if it hasn't helped much when you wake up at some moments

[JDeere]

Not enough. Doggie was scared of the bad storm so she had to sleep with me and doesnt lay still.

[akiza]

5 hours ^^

[Gemme]

3 hours and change. Not a good night's rest.

[akiza]

i had a white night ^^ and have got almost 3hours at 5 am something until almost 8am

[candy_coated_bitch]

Five hours.

[girl_dee]

it was quality over quantity!

[Orema]

Almost 8, thank goodness.

[Gemme]

When there's nothing to distract me, I get lots of sleep.

:blink:

I got about 8 last night and more than 9 the night before.

[akiza]

almost 2 hours 4am-6 am something yeah genial ^^

[Gayandgray]

Four.............

[akiza]

almost five hours

[PlatinumPearl]

I slept 5 hrs.

[FireSignFemme]

Seven hours, six of it uninterrupted – woo hoo!

[candy_coated_bitch]

I was up and down so much I honestly don't have a clue. :|

[RockOn]

2.5 hours

I fell asleep on the bed playing with my pups way too early. It was hard deep sleep.

When I woke up from that 2.5 hours, I was confused, did not know if it was day or night. Then I never was able to go back to sleep. Thank goodness that does not happen with any frequency.

"please don't annoy the irritable zombie today"
LOL!

[Blade]

9hrs but none of them were as good as the hr I slept during the procedure today

[Kätzchen]

Not much, probably less than four hours of sleep.

But I'm okay. I'm guessing that the plant based diet I am on is partially to blame. :blush: :eyebat: :bow:

:hk20:

[Kätzchen]

I took an late afternoon nap yesterday and was able to sleep again for about seven hours. I feel like napping again today... I'm tired, but otherwise I feel okay.

[Kenna]

Hardly any, and not restful.
Mom snores louder than my sister's big dog (they must have been competing), my sister has no clue how to level her big ass camper so when the wind would rock us, or somebody would get up to walk to the bathroom, it made me feel like we were gonna tip over. :blink:

[Dominique]

I'm not a good sleeper. Never have been. Some nights I sleep 7 hours, but wake up every 90 min. or so.

Last night, I slept three and a half. :blink:

[akiza]

3hours but when i was ill last week i haven't sleeped for 3 days straight a record ^^

[Kätzchen]

I slept deeply for about 8 hours....

[nycfem]

I've been sleeping horribly. School ends in June so that will likely make all the difference for me. I've been reading before bed but unfortunately the book I'm reading now is so amazing that I'm doing that thing of reading half the night... I guess I should go back to just falling asleep while listening to a book on headphones. Sleep is mad hard.

[PlatinumPearl]

I slept about 5 hrs. :|

I stayed in bed a little longer to respond to a few emails and messages before getting up to start my day....

[candy_coated_bitch]

Three and a half with a bit of a nap in the middle of the day.

[Abigail Crabby]

5 hours :( work is gonna suck tonight!

[Gemme]

I got great sleep. Over 10 hours. I guess it balances the 4.5 hours I got the night before.

[Orema]

Almost 10 and I needed it too.

[Kätzchen]

Almost 7 hours..... not quite enough, I had an rough up & down type of night.

[LeftWriteFemme]

[Chained Daisy]

9, I have been sleeping so soundly of late after waking often through the night for so long.

[nycfem]

I think I slept the longest I've ever slept in my life, and that was a positive. I have been working my butt off at school, super stressed, and then -boom- school ended on Thursday! So I went to sleep that night and did not get up until Saturday at 4:30 AM. It was great. It felt healing. I had been missing so much sleep so it was like "catching up" heaven.

[candy_coated_bitch]

I can honestly say I have no idea. The cat has taken to waking me up before 5am. I fell back asleep at some point but I'm not sure how much it really added up to.

[cathexis]

Sleep came on and off. Was best when I drifted off In the TV lounge (air-conditioned). Woke up not knowing where I was. By the time I got my bearings, stumbling back to the room, it was hot an miserable. Catnapped for awhile. Decided to just get the hell up.

[MissItalianDiva]

Insomnia rears it's ugly head once again. Have a lot going on and Im sure that's contributing.

[cricket26]

5 hours sunday nite, went to work, and stayed up watching movies til 1 am last nite i slept 8.5 hours yay!

[JDeere]

I got a decent 11 hours, I haven't slept much since dad has been home.

[Orema]

A total of 3.5 hours. But I don't feel as bad as I usually do when I don't get enough sleep. It'll catch up with me this afternoon, I guess.

[PlatinumPearl]

About 5 hrs.

[Gemme]

I've been getting about 5, maybe 6, hours the past 3 nights. I'm stupid tired.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Four. Average night in my life.

[Reach *BANNED*]

It all boils down to, it is never really enough.

[Gemme]

Four something?

[Kätzchen]

I haven't been getting as much sleep as I'd like to, lately. I no more than solve one problem in life, then another rolls right on in. My bff/sil is not getting any better, she's getting worse. I just learned today the latest whereabouts of my youngest son (not good). My oldest son is holding out on his own, fairly well.... but still, it's so hard to let go and trust that everything is as it should be, even if it's not the way I'd like it to be.... for myself or those I dearly love and care about.

I got only about three hours of uninterrupted sleep last night.

I have no idea if I will be able to sleep tonight.

I'm tired, so maybe tonight I'll sleep better than I have in night's past.

We'll see. I remain cautiously optimistic.... :moonstars:

[Gemme]

More than 6 but less than 8. Could be worse.

[FireSignFemme]

10 hours and only up once during the night for a quick bathroom break!

[bright_arrow]

Judging by the way I felt waking up, certainly not enough. Ugh.

[Orema]

Got about 5 hours but it feels like 5 minutes because I tossed and turned all doggone night. And I'm draggin' this morning. I'll just have to take my time and double check everything I do.

[TL1]

Cuatro...... 4

[FireSignFemme]

Cinco.........

[Lyte]

Alas... not nearly enough... four... maybe five... :blink:

[JDeere]

Not enough. Maybe 5.

[Orema]

Seven hours last night. Am playing “catch up” and it feels good. Did some tossing and turning but that’s okay. It’s good going back to sleep knowing the alarm won’t go off.

[PlatinumPearl]

6 hrs. and I feel very well rested.

[Kenna]

Very little last night due to respiratory illness and sharing new puppy duties with my roomie.

But thanks to Nyquil, I slept for several hours today.

[Sweet Bliss]

Got about 7 hours .... have started developing dark circles under my eyes from lack of sleep.... ugh.

Gotta start taking my naps again.

[candy_coated_bitch]

Three. Been my usual lately.

[TL1]

Three. Been my usual lately.

Same...... 3 feel so rested :|

[Orema]

Seven. Tossed and turned but still feel rested.

[JDeere]

probably about 6 hours, not enough for me!

[Gemme]

A little more than 7. Could be worse.

[Kätzchen]

Last night I got nearly 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep. *yay*

I think what made the difference for me last night was that I recently bought one of those Earth Therapeutic neck-warmer thingy's... to cradle my head and neck because my neck has been killing me and it worked like a charm last night. I got the one that has lavender herb oil that is activated when it's heated up, before you wear it around your neck and shoulders.

[Bèsame*]

Last night was inventory, and to keep myself up past my usual bedtime, I had some coffee.
Which, did the trick, but kept me up, way too long. By 3am, I forced myself to bed. Um, not working. Got a leg cramp, got up and walked around. Laid back down. Nope, not working. Took a warm shower, turned on some relaxing music. Nope, my mind is fully awake.

Got up to watch some boring TV.
Well, let's try this again. Laid there, thinking, at 5:30 now, how the wind blowing thru the blinds was going to keep this saga going.

Fell asleep! I have to let caffeine go its course.

3 hours of sleep! That's not going to make it. Let's try this again..lol

Ok, I get two more hours in,....

my morning is gone, but I can live and not be grumpy McGrumpy.


And have had coffee already☕

[Gemme]

Last night was about 6 to 6.5 hours. Not as long as I would have liked, but it's better than nothing.

[RockOn]

maybe five ... got home late because I stopped by Lowes ... no worries, it is Friday and a 3-DAY WEEKEND (Monday holiday) YAY!

[MsTinkerbelly]

Maybe 5?

I kept getting poked to stop my snoring, sooooooooooooo

[easygoingfemme]

I think I got about 7, which is a lot for me. I'm recovering from a 4 month stretch of insomnia, sleeplessness. Combination of my busy brain and my spouse taking up storing. (Ms. Tink, the struggle is real)

A combination of getting some Indica tincture, cbd oil, and listing to podcasts/audio books has put me back together again. My daughter turned me on to a podcast called "Nothing much happens" which is soft storytelling about a woman going about her day doing things like making a big batch of soup after a trip to the farmers market, or taking a hot bath after a cold walk in the woods. I love it. But also have heard all her stories now too many times. So the day before yesterday I downloaded audiobooks that Barack Obama wrote and read for recording and I slept blissfully all night with him reading softly to me when I would wake up, putting me quickly back to sleep. Last night I did the same with Maya Angelou. Both of them, their voices bring me peace and happiness. And I feel so much more rested!

[RockOn]

around 8 to 8.5 hours ... I slept hard ... woke up with my head on the hound dog Jeffrey ... he had both mine and his pillows ... I saw why he needed two - he had been the usual sneak ... gathered up Kevie and Jennifer's loot (rawhides and hooves) while they were sleeping and hid it all under the second pillow ...

I felt so good and refreshed when I woke up :)

[nycfem]

11 hours

Last night I slept from around 12:30 a.m. to 12:30 pm, with an hour being up in the early morning at the time I usually wake up for work- so I'd say 11 hours. I was catching up from the work week, in which I slept wayyyyyy too few hours.

I am listening to a book I've listened to many times read by the author called "Happens Every Day." It's a great little memoir, and I love the author's reading style. I listen to it on a CD player with headphones.

[ksrainbow]

My *normal* hours of sleep is 8.5 to 9.0 during my work week.

During my days away from work: it will vary from 7.5 to 12.0 (knowing it may not be a healthy sleep pattern).

I cannot wait until how much I sleep or do not sleep: becomes something I no longer loose sleep over :moonstars:

Ks-:cheer:

[Gemme]

I got almost 8 last night. So happy!

[RockOn]

LOL! Oh this is funny to me and I needed a good laugh.

Years ago, I had a dog who snored so loud. I bought those nose pinchers for her and tried. They did not work. I even gave it a go with Kevie, my present bully-mastiff mix. The nose pinchers did not work on him either.

Now, if Kevie gets really loud, I wake up or cannot sleep, I just reach over and start gently massaging him. Usually puts the skids on his snoring long enough for me to get back to sleep. I love Kevie so much, he is a precious soul!!

[Kätzchen]

Last night I only got four hours of sleep.

It's late now, so I hope I get another four hours of sleep.

To be certain, I hope so, because crabby won't even begin to describe the tenor of tomorrow.:blink:

[FireSignFemme]

Seven hours and most of it uninterrupted.

[JDeere]

6 and im not a happy camper

[Stone-Butch]

I usually sleep from around 3 or 4 a.m till 10 or 11 a.m. I am very much a night person even since I was a child. Went to a sleep clinic twice, yes a night person is real.

[Kätzchen]

I usually sleep from around 3 or 4 a.m till 10 or 11 a.m. I am very much a night person even since I was a child. Went to a sleep clinic twice, yes a night person is real.

I think this is absolutely true, that some people are night owls, while others are more day-light hours oriented. But, then there is my mother. She just turned 80 (back in early July), and all her life, she's basically never really slept more than 3 or fours hours at a time -- and that is whenever she can lay down to rest. She's been a nurse all her life, mostly working around the clock, but primarily night shift (2300 hrs - 0700 hrs, plus xtra hrs due to her role as an investigator or Director of Nursing, etc).

It's like with my mom, someone has to insist that she lays down to rest because on her own, she won't. She's got what I call a bonafide case of "I can't sleep because I gotta make sure everything is done right" kind of thing. And she is not even OCD. LOL. What makes her 'tick' would surely send me off the cliff, readily and willingly. I have to have my rest and in bigger doses of rest. 3-4 hours is not enough for my body to recover or my mind.

9 hours is really good, when I've slept 9 hours.

Which, last night I fell into bed around 10:30 because my mind and body wouldn't let me stay up anymore. I rose from uninterrupted sleep (Because I made sure Miss Petunia slept out on the porch, LOL) around 9 am.

I need more rest and definitely more sleep. This past week at work was more than I could handle, but I didn't have any other choice, but to keep working until quitting time on Friday afternoon.

[Orema]

5 hours, if that.

Feeling is coming back to the bottom of my palm and the pain woke me last night. Going into a busy time at work and can’t take any time off. I’ll be able to use my mouse (I’m a lefty who uses the mouse with my right hand), but I think I’ll wear the wrist brace at work.

Life could be worse.

[Orema]

7.5 hours and feelng rested. I needed it.

Was hoping to get into the office a little early but that ain’t gonna happen today.

Maybe tomorrow.

[Chad]

Four hours last night and zero Monday night.
I am tired but not sleepy. Come on Mister Sandman. Haha!

:alarm:

[Wrang1er]

Maybe three hours. It was almost four the last time I looked at the clock. My thoughts kept me from it.

[FireSignFemme]

Four and it must not have been very soundly because I woke up twice and both times in the middle of a bizarre dream.

[Kätzchen]

My favorite go-to bedtime story is Wynkn, Blynkn & Nod... 😴😴😴

I have slept pretty good the past few nights, mostly because I am ridiculously tired. Lol. :jester:

However, I hope to sleep soundly tonight. Hoping to sleep about 7 hours, if possible.

I will definitely get 9 hours, Saturday night. :)

Nothing like BBQ coma to help ya get some sleep. ;)

[Mopsie]

About 5 and a half hours.

Unfortunately, lately, I'm almost always getting 5 and a half or 6 hours. Then I cat nap the rest of the night.

:cat:

[Chad]

I slept a solid 8 hours, yay!

[Orema]

6 hours but it wasn't enough. Still a little tired. Will go to bed early tonight. Maybe that will help.

[MrSunshine]

Not many. My mom likes to come in every morning now to make sure I’m still alive. Like at 3:30 a.m. wth :/

[JDeere]

5 broken up hours.

I got a suprise wake up from a 7 year old that has no idea I'm not a morning person Lol

[Orema]

6 hours. Tossed and turned a bit, but woke up feeling okay.

I'll get some good sleep come Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

:pursebee:

[Mopsie]

10!

Yesterday I got 10 hours also.

I think I'm fighting off the bug that's going around.

I'm washing my hands and taking Airborne religiously!

[Kätzchen]

Last night was the first night since nights ago, that I haven't been up all night hacking up crud out of my lungs and blowing my nose.

OMG, that virus stuff nearly killed me.

But I slept like a baby last night. I slept nearly 9 hours and I feel pretty good today.

[RebelDyke]

3 1/2 but that is ok because I have a lot to accomplish and i found out my partner in crime today had just about the same amount of sleep. something must be in the water

[PlatinumPearl]

6 hours. I woke up a few times throughout the night and ended up spending the last hour trying to sleep more but just ended up thinking about work and my agenda for the day.

[Kätzchen]

I don't get the type of sleep I should be getting, mostly because pain I experience in my body disrupts my sleep or sometimes, like a few weeks ago when I was SO sick, I couldn't sleep due to breathing difficulties.

But I do get rest from time to time and I do have nights where I sleep like a baby.

Last night I slept pretty good. 7 hours of sleep, but pain woke me up a couple of times.

Hoping for about the same, tonight. :moonstars:

[Bèsame*]

I've been getting a good 8 hours lately. Last night was 8.5 and I got a cozy 1.5 hour nap in as well.

This I know, my phone tells me so. Sometimes I wish my phone wasn't so smart..lol

[Orema]

Over 11 hours and it felt good. Woke up at 4 am to start soaking the black-eye peas and then went back to sleep. I need more long sleeps like this but will play catch up next week.

[Gemme]

I got 8 hours last night, woke up to feed the babies and then crawled back under the covers. I didn't get any more sleep but half an hour of warm cozy snuggling is almost as good.

[PlatinumPearl]

7 hrs. I use to sleep a lot less but now I aim for anywhere between 7-8 hrs. a night.

[firegal]

Way too many fireworks,way past midnite.

So about 4 hours...…...YAWN!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

8 hours of fair sleep. I woke up about 3 times, but always managed to get back to sleep. According to my fitbit, I was mostly in REM sleep, not much in deep sleep - that's why the score of "fair", I guess.

[Kätzchen]

I bought a new pillow yesterday at Target, the alternative feather pillow kind, with protective covering around it.

I slept so good that I didn't get up once.

I even turned my clocks forward one hour, earlier in the day yesterday, so even the time change did not affect me much. But having the new pillow to cradle my head just right? Just that alone, improved my sleep exponentially.

I slept more than 8 hours and I woke up feeling refreshed. :cheer:

[theoddz]

I've never really had trouble sleeping and Mother used to always say that my sister and I were "good sleepers" as children. I'm at my best with 8-9 hours of solid sleep. If I get less than about 7, I'm draggy and cranky.

Since I retired, I seem to always get a complete, good night's sleep. I go to bed between 11 pm and 12 am and am usually up by 8 am. Last night was no exception. I got 9 hours, despite the time change!!! :winky:

[JDeere]

13.5 hours, yes I slept for 13.5 hours...

I know how the time change affects me so I take matter into my own hands!

[Kätzchen]

I am on a stay-cation and I have had two nights of uninterrupted sleep. 8.5 hours last night. And almost 9 hours night before last.

Feels heavenly to have enough rest and to wake up spontaneously, refreshed for another day. :stillheart:

:hk20:

[FireSignFemme]

It's amazing what a difference a good night sleep can make isn't it? I got a solid 7 hours straight and feel like a million bucks.

[Gemme]

Not enough lately. I got about 3.5 hours last night and 4 or so the night before and I'm a 7.5-8 hour kind of girl. Tomorrow's not looking good if anyone wants me to actually be nice.

[easygoingfemme]

9. Heat exhaustion is no joke.

[Bèsame*]

9. Heat exhaustion is no joke.

Oh sooo true....

Stay hydrated!!

[Gemme]

Last night was wonderful. I got about 7.5 hours of sleep. Tonight will be somewhere around 4 hour mark. No bueno.

[C0LLETTE]

Who knows.

Between the time I lay down my weary head and the time i jumped up to finally avoid and end yet another miserable dark early morning memory/thought, I've no idea how many cumulative moments of "restful" sleep I got.

[Gemme]

Last night was better...around 6.5 hours. Tonight I hope to get a full night's sleep.

And to stop having space dreams.

They are just weird, even for me.

[Blade]

Oh I don't know. Since I have been home for almost 4 months I fall asleep when I do. I wake up during the night and stay awake a few hours then fall back asleep for a few hours. I'd say 7 or 8 off and on

[GeorgiaMa'am]

About 8 hours. I used to get more, but since the baseball season started, I have been staying up late to watch. Oh well, now longer naps in the afternoons make up for it!

[cutegrrl]

6 hrs. I went to bed later than I wanted to. I hope to get 8/9 hrs. tonight.

[Orema]

6 hours. That’s my usual these days.

Taking 10 mg of melatonin most nights. That helps me from not waking up so many times. No longer need the canna-butter/edibles to help me sleep.

Maybe I’ll make some cookies or brownies on my next no-diet day.

:bow:

[PlatinumPearl]

7 Hours but my goal is to get 8 or 9 hours of sleep to allow my body more time to rest, recover and heal from the days events.

[Kätzchen]

I have been using my ResMed CPAP with pillows for the past five nights. I have been sleeping through the night without having to get up to go potty or get a sip of water or anything. Over the past few days, I've gotten near-perfect scores for sleeping health. The sleep study found that I was having breathing incidents (not snoring, it's an airway block of sorts) before I began to use the ResMed Ladies CPAP machine with pillows for your nose... probably around ten per hour. Since five days ago, I now have less than .6 incidents per hour. Which is fantastic. I forgot what it was like to sleep an entire sleep cycle without getting up for x, y or z. I have slept wonderfully, since last Friday.

Last night, I logged 9.20 hours of uninterrupted sleep.

I feel better and better each day that goes by.

[Kelt]

I’ve spent the last decade trying to sort out sleep. I’ve gone through all the sleep hygiene steps that I have found plus dietary changes and all sorts of sleep meds. I’ve also spent several years using a sleep tracker on my phone so I could see that all of the changes made no difference whatsoever. Stuck at 5 to 6 hours per night of fitful sleep seemingly forever.

I think I may have found the magic combination and I’m now getting 7-7.5 hours of sleep per night and much better quality. What did I do?

1. Stopped taking a prescribed anti-anxiety med that I have been on for 25 years, that helped the brainspin I would get whenever I woke up. It wasn’t fun to withdraw from especially during a pandemic lockdown, but worth it.
2. The biggest I think has been changing how I take magnesium supplements, it used to just be whatever was in my multivitamin and now I use a powder that you stir into water an hour before bed. That seems to keep me asleep at a deeper level and has the bonus of me being noticeably calmer during the day. It’s called “Calm (https://www.amazon.com/Natural-Vitality-Magnesium-Stress-Original/dp/B000OQ2DL4)” and is better than the Xanax was for me.
3. For the last couple of weeks I’ve been experimenting with some CBD oil in a reach for deeper sleep and it is definitely helping. The jury is still out as to whether or not I will continue using it, interesting to try.

At this point I’m very happy to get restful sleep for the first time in memory. Finally.

[Bèsame*]

Last 10 days..easily 8.5 to 9+ hours.

Less stress! I've had the best sleep in a long time.

https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn%3AANd9GcRSt2OyOshSJljSvNxUsO_Tvn_tLdt yn0VnMg&usqp=CAU


Dark cold room, contoured pillow and quiet. If I find myself overthinking, I'll put the timer on some soft music. That can have me relaxed before the first song is over! If I feel restless, a hot shower calms me.

And by all means..NO Caffine after 4pm.

[C0LLETTE]

Was doing fine till that damned donkey started braying at 2am. Not sure if this is going to work out.

[FireSignFemme]

Off and on Monte kept waking me up to play. Between that and bathroom breaks just four.

[C0LLETTE]

I empathize, my little Pedro does the same.

[Orema]

Six hours last night.

Still taking 10 mg of melatonin to help me sleep on some nights. Natrol Melatonin (http://https://dev.natrol.com/store/natrol-melatonin-sleep-support-strawberry-fast-dissolve-tablets) brand seems to work well for me.

Thanks for sharing this, Orema. I have been wanting to try melatonin, but I've heard it makes you groggy in the morning. Could you share your experience?

[Orema]

Thanks for sharing this, Orema. I have been wanting to try melatonin, but I've heard it makes you groggy in the morning. Could you share your experience?

You’re welcome. This brand doesn’t leave me groggy in the morning. I mention the brand because a different brand didn’t work at all.

Before the melatonin I was taking a prescription sleeping aid, Ambien, along with cannabis edibles to help me sleep. So my body is accustomed to sleep aids. Also, I tend to wake up early and stay in bed for a couple hours reading the news before getting up. But once I’m up, I’m in action and am ready to exercise and start my day.

I suggest you try it and see how it affects you. I’d start with a small dosage (3 mg?) to see how it works.

Good luck and let us know if you try it out.

[Kelt]

I will chime in and say that I use the same dose of the same brand and it works well for me too.

[PlatinumPearl]

I slept 4 hours, which has been normal for me lately. I hope to get back to 8 hours again but that may not happen for at least another 3 weeks.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I am clearly not getting a full 8 hours tonight, since I am here on the Planet.

[theoddz]

Now that we have one of these Sleep Number 360 degree “smart” beds, Dear Wife and I sleep soooooo much better!!! According to the bed’s app, we both get an average of about 8 to 9 hours or better each night.

These beds are amazing and Dear Wife and I heartily recommend them to anyone who is looking for an excellent’s night sleep.

I hadn't heard of this! I'm going to talk this over, sounds pretty cool but also weird to think my bed could be monitoring my sleep. But my watch does now so...

I've been sleeping so much better with a medication that tames my nightmares. It's shifted me from sleeping 4-5 hours with frequent wake ups and anxiety to often 7-9 hours with minimal waking and often no anxiety.

It's pretty life changing.

[Gemme]

I've shorted myself the past few nights but will get a full night's sleep tonight since I can wake up later tomorrow.

[Orema]

Three, if that. Am dragin' a bit this morning, but I'll play catch up later today.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

About twelve. I feel great!

[Orema]

7 hours.

Am testing the SnoreLab snoring app (https://www.snorelab.com). Snored lightly for 16% of the time last night though I had an epic snore for 2 seconds! LOL

It’s pretty cool. Think I’ll keep it and use the free version.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Not many, for the last several nights. My CPAP broke. It sounds like a jet engine when it's on. I'm pretty sure it's the bearings in the motor.

It will be January before I can even go to the doctor's appointment to get an appointment in the sleep lab. I have to do this to get a new prescription. Nobody will use my old prescription (admittedly, 11 years old) to get me a new CPAP.

There are people who repair CPAPs. However, they all sound very doubtful on the phone: "Oh, it's in the motor? We probably can't fix that." "Oh, it's too old. We can't work on that."

I can barely sleep without the thing. I snore so deeply that I wake myself up choking. What do people do who run into this problem? Yes, CPAPs last a long time, typically about 10 years, but they do break. You can't buy one on eBay because it's medical equipment and that's illegal. I might be insane from lack of sleep if I have to wait until late January to get a new one. Maybe there's someone in another city who I can ship mine to to get worked on.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Is anyone else waiting up to catch a glimpse of Santa?

I still couldn't sleep so I watched _It's a Wonderful Life_. It's one of my Top 10 faves.

[nhplowboi]

I was doing great until 4AM this morning when I got up for a bathroom break. I put on the news to make sure the Donald did not have troops in the streets and am now hoping I can grab a hour before I really need to be up.

[Stone-Butch]

none so far.

[Gemme]

A solid 7, then a bathroom run and a quick check of storm damage and then back down for about an hour and a half. It was the BEST!

[Orema]

Seven. Woke up a few times but was able to go back asleep.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Yet to be determined. At least one.

[Orema]

Five restless hours. Maybe I’ll catch another hour this morning.

[FireSignFemme]

None last night, none so far this morning. Computer gliche - working well for a change so not too bad. Going to just run with it as long as I can, make the best of it until exhaustion takes over, there are worse ways to suffer.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Ten good hours. But only because I got up early, had breakfast, and then went back to bed for five.

[easygoingfemme]

I slept in a split shift last night. Slept from 10-1:00 and then was up reading from 1-3 and then back to sleep until 6. I'm glad it wasn't a work night.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I slept in a split shift last night. Slept from 10-1:00 and then was up reading from 1-3 and then back to sleep until 6. I'm glad it wasn't a work night.

I do this far too often. I'm guilty of checking my email and the news in the middle of the night. I even fall asleep with my headphones on, tuned in to the overnight news. I've got to stop doing this.

Even so, I got about six solid hours last night.

[Orema]

Six hours after taking melatonin.

[Stone-Butch]

5 days now, NO night sleep. Afternoon nap for 2-3 hrs. Tired all the time.

[Gemme]

I got around 8 hours, thank goodness. It's been about a week of shorting myself so I desperately needed a full night's sleep. Hopefully, it won't be another week before it happens again.

[Gemme]

Last night was close to 7 hours of sleep, which is the most I've had all week. I slept very hard and struggled waking so I'm hoping tonight is better.

[Orema]

Last night was 6 hours.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Last night I had 9.5 mostly good hours. But I woke up to a vivid dream that was turning into a nightmare, so that was a bummer and it left me out of sorts for part of the day. Now that I'm headed to bed again tonight, it's coming back to me :( Hopefully it won't resume. They usually don't.

[FireSignFemme]

Just a little short of eight.

[Vincent]

been averaging 3 for about a week
Scout is waking me scared of the storms during the night,it's ok for her,after her walk at 1.30 AM she sleeps all day.
Oh well,she is heading to 11 now so a senior dog
I now understand the term
I'm dog tired

[Orema]

6 hours. Woke up midway and read the news for awhile then back to sleep.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Only about 7 hours. I went to bed early, but woke up in the middle of the night and watched TikTok for hours. I didn't go back to sleep until I got a TikTok reminder to do so. (Yes, they have reminders - I haven't figured out if it's random, or attached to a certain time, or after you've been logged in for a certain amount of time. The "PSA" comes on and reminds you that, although you're certainly enjoying TikTok, you should do yourself a favor and get some sleep.)

[clay]

usually 8 to 10. Since I have been with my honey, and when she is here, OR I am there, we sleep so sweetly!

My smart watch records my times of deep, light, and awake times. I am now sleeping 3 hrs or so in deep sleep, which I didn't use to do.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

It's 2 a.m., and if I can't get back to sleep it's going to be 1-1/2 hours for the night. I finally decided to quit tossing and turning and get up for awhile and see if that helps. Right now I'm having a Pop Tart, and then I'm going to re-make up my bed, to see if that helps. I also took an extra half of a sleeping pill. (Perfectly allowed, my prescription says I can do so as needed.)
