How many hours of sleep do you get a night? ?

So envious of those of you that sleep well. I’m just a poor sleeper.

I need about 8 hours sleep a night but I don't often get that. I struggle a bit with getting off to sleep so usually go to sleep about 12 or 1am but don't get up until between 7-9 am.

Seven normally, round about ten thirty to round about five thirty to six. I wake refreshed but not quite ready to get up so I doze and day dream for fifteen or twenty minutes before I get going.

About five hours. I used to need lots of sleep but not now. I can always turn over for another 10 minutes no matter what.

I get about 7 or 8, but only feel fully refreshed if I have about 9 or 10. I’ve always needed a lot of sleep.

I have fibromyalgia, so sleep is usually 2 hour chunks. Medication doctors prescribe makes me constipated and I feel foggy during the day. Pain never gives you a break.
I'm sure there are other fibro warriors on GN and those with their own difficulties. Can't imagine what 8 hours sleep would be like.

Probably somewhere between 6-7 hours, depending on when the cat wakes us up wanting to go out, or a trip to the loo in the early hours. Not really one for long lie ins anyway.

I forgot to say that my fitbit tells me that i get over 8 hours sleep most nights.

About 6 , I think. I always have an awake gap in the middle. No idea why.

I usually get about 5 or 6 but the last 2 nights I have had 9 and 10.5 respectively. I seem to have chilled out since I have a diagnosis and I am allowing myself to rest and sleep as I need to instead of feeling lazy and anxious I am sleeping too much. That probably makes no sense but it does to me?

cookiemonster66 do you use a cpap machine for your sleep apnoea? I have had one for a few years now and it`s changed my life! No more awful morning headaches or daytime sleepiness.

I retire upstairs about 10pm, then get ready to sleep, listen to the radio or watch the news. So I sleep from about 11pm until 6am ish, usually a toilet trip at 2 or 3am then back to sleep.
In total I get 6/7 hrs, am up early for DGC care during the week and a bit of a live-in at the weekend.

I was diagnosed with sleep aponea several years ago, I probably developed it gradually from mid 40's onwards. I have always snored but it got worse and my husband who was a poor sleeper complained so we sleep in separate rooms.I could not get used to CPD device so have had to cope with about 6 hours of poor quality sleep at night. I was told by the Sleep Disorder unit that I woke on average 30 times an hour! I usually get up once or twice to go to the loo.I often fall asleep around 9.30pm when watching TV.Since lockdown I go to bed between 10-10.30pm. Before I was often out in the evening and getting more exercise. I am trying to exercise at least 90 minutes a day but have still put on weight in lockdown which does not help with aponea but I am only borderline normal to overweight for my height. If I really need an afternoon nap to cope I take it but try not to have more than an hour in bed. I have no problem getting to sleep at night but on occasion am unable to get back to sleep when I wake in the night.I never remember any dreams which I think is due to not getting into deep sleep because of the aponea.

I get about 8 hours most nights but there are days when I just cannot drop off. Also my sleep is broken by trips to the loo which is annoying. The one time I really had trouble sleeping was when I had depression I used to wake in the early ours and could not get back to sleep at all

7 - 7.5 hours.
I'm in bed by 21:00 and get up at 04:30. I had awful problems after chemo 7 years ago not so much with insomnia but with the fear of insomnia, which gave me poor sleep. I'm happy to have found a pattern that works most nights.

I usually settle down to sleep at around midnight. On a good night I get about 6 hours sleep and doze a bit before getting up at around 8am.

I usually go to bed at roughly the same time each evening as I understand that it is important to keep a good routine. I go to bed at 11.00pm and wake at 7am so I normally have between 7 and 8 hours sleep each night.

I usually go to bed at the same time each evening I read for a while hoping to drop off. I do have the room warm but not hot. I always like to have at least five to six hours sleep,other wise I can’t function.

I usually wake up a few times on a night.I have recently had a drink of calamine tea before bedtime and I find I drift off to sleep quicker and have a better nights sleep.
7 hours is a good nights sleep sometimes more or less

I usually get to bed at midnight. Seem to wake at 6:30 and then drift in an out of sleep until 9, but cannot get a solid sleep. Have to get up once during the night for the toilet. How i wish i could have a solid 8 hours, so as not to feel tired during the day.

Usually I get between four and six hours in bed and an hour or two in the chair 'watching' TV!

Possibly 7 hours per night. One thing that helps is to finish eating by 8pm. No late night snacks allowed! This means the body can concentrate on repairing itself whilst resting, rather than having to digest food at the same time. Makes sense to me!

On average 5 or 6 hours, on a good night which isn't very often I might stretch to 7-8.

From 6-8 hours sleep a night. Often I wake up randomly and take a while to get back to sleep.

I have around 7 hrs a night due to getting up for work but twice a week I do sleep about 9 hrs which I call my catch up sleep.
