Do you get enough sleep?

Question

They say you are supposed to get 8 hours of sleep. I rarely do.

Anonymous · Accepted Answer

I hit about seven, seven and a half a lot more. This is only with medication, though. I also used to live in a place that was pretty loud. Things either waking me up or keeping me awake. I moved to a quieter area. I also often have my earbuds in so I can listen to white noise, or some soft music until I fall asleep (I have it so it gets quieter or shuts off after a certain amount of time). Now, I usually fall asleep a little quicker. I wake up once or twice early on, but usually can go back to sleep. It used to be where if I was woken up at 5am, I'm up for my day, even if I didn't fall asleep until 2am. I rarely took naps. I survived on caffeine.

I sleep so much better.

When I go to bed and start to sleep before midnight, then yes. Then I wake up ~7,5 hours later on my own and feel fit.

When I fall asleep way after midnight, chances are, my sleep pattern gets screwed up, I'll have 4-5 hours mediocre sleep and need my alarm clock. Which then means, my work day will be in coffee-fueled stupor.

Not as much as I should- or want to, lol.

On average, I get 6-9 hours of sleep a night, depends on how tired I am after work and how soon I go to bed. I try to be in bed around 9-10pm most nights, as I wake up around 5am to exercise every morning. But if I'm really exhausted- I've been known to go to bed as early as 6pm (yeah, really, lol). But in my defense, between gym, work, and dealing with idiots and chatty people at work all day, I have no shame in crashing early some days.

I'm probably on my way to bed after I finish replying to this so I can -try- to get about 7-8 hours of sleep

I usually get 4 hours of sleep & function better than friends, family & colleagues who get around 8. There's actually a rare genetic mutation that allows certain people to function better on minimal sleep than if they got the "proper" time.

Massageman · Answer

I've been forcing myself, but I usually do. Or if I'm short a bit, I'll have a nap.

Lliam · Answer

I typically get about 8 hours. I'm retired so I don't have to get up at a certain time.
I'm a night owl, so I'm usually in bed between 2:15 and 2:30 am and get up between 10:00 and 11:00. LOL. Na na nana na.
When I was working, I had to get up by at least 7:30.

My wife usually goes to sleep around 11:00 pm and wakes up around 7:00 or so because she has to feed the cats. She also works 4 days a week and usually has to leave the house by 9:30.

AaronKrieger · Answer

Somewhere in the middle that it could be better, as I tend to get around 4 - 7, but it used to be awful. Throughout middle and high school I was pulling all-nighters, so there'd be days where I'd get maybe 3 - 6 hours of sleep within three days.

Constatine · Answer

Ouch! If i sleep 8 hours or more i wake up like a train had run me over. Headache all day long..

The max. Amount of sleep is 6 hours. And that is enough.. sleep is to get rest and to process information of that day..

When i wake up .. open my eyes and see my sleeping beauty still sleeping.. i just watch her.. that gives me more internal rest and peace than 8 hours of sleep.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

I don't think so miss bartender lady maya, sometimes i sleep 8 hours but wake up between an hour and another, also you have to sleep at night in a specific time and they say that sleeping during the day ain't good the same as sleeping in the night like from 11 pm till 5 am

butterly248 · Answer

Due to my shift patterns, the dogs, my partner etc. I get very little sleep. Infact I'm lucky if I get 3 hours without being undisturbed. My days are spent drinking an unhealthy amount of caffeine and naps, that turn into hours.

Absolutely. I don't wakeup unless I want to. I don't eat close to bed. I don't allow for any noise. And I fall asleep to a bed time story. Helps me "stay on the phone" while being put to sleep.
