A little more than 7. Could be worse.

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.

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☕

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

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!

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

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.

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

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!!

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.

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.

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.
