Do you sleep more in winters?

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Might be because I had 2.5 months holidays from work, but I have been sleeping 9 hours. I don’t usually sleep 9 hours, I usually sleep 7.5 hours in summers. Does winter make us sleep more?

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

Very much in my case but I think it's because Japanese homes have relatively thin walls and poor insulation, so they can get very cold in the winter even with heating. So I usually want to get under the covers and stay in them longer since it can become very cold.

Also in the summer, even when blasting air conditioner, it can get quite hot still and I sleep much less. I have found though when I sleep in nice hotels with very good insulation and blast the air-con that I can sleep longer even in the summers. But in my Japanese home with thin walls, how much and how long I sleep is very tied to the season and weather.

No. Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn I have to go to work over 40 hours a week, then come home and take care of chores around the house (inside and out). In non-winter weather I have a lot of yard work. I consider myself lucky if I can get 7 hours of sleep, but I usually get a lot less, sometimes only 4 hours a night.

Then you're suffering from chronic insomnia and should seek a doctor

I think it does. It might be partly there being less sunlight in the winter months. Also for me I just like being snuggled up under the covers when it's cold

[KittyKat90210]

Thanks for the MHO! :)

[Sour-rose]

Not more I would say... longer. Especially on an offday. Because it's noice and waaaarm 🖤😊

[LaFemmeFatale_1]

Yup haha

[NathanDavis]

definitely yes... the cool winter make me sleep not only more but much more better as well

it all feels more cozy and the covers are heavier

[HawkPerception]

I'm definitely more tired when I get less sunshine, which tends to be the case in winter

In Australia winter always made me sleep more , there was just so much less daylight , mornings were dark , our bodies are programmed to sleep when its dark , not light.

[matchrestore]

Yeah, sunset is quite late here in the summer, so I naturally stay up later. My alarm still wakes me for work at the same time though.

[RebelinSteel]

Yes as it’s darker at night and also in the morning. This means that pesky sun ain’t shining in when the cats ‘open’ the curtains.

[AviatorTom]

Not really. I get my typical 5-6 hours most nights, regardless of season.

[bingbongbangbung]

That isn't healthy; you should be getting 7-8 hours of sleep every night (6 is fine sometimes).

[Anonymous]

No, but I do tend to sleep better in the winter months.

[rosemilk]
