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

I try to get 8 hours every night

I sleep around 6 hours a night, usually dropping off just before midnight. Then I'm awake at 4 in the morning and have to read for a couple of hours before dozing off again until 8-ish.
I think I get enough sleep, but I do wish I could get through the night without waking for so long.

I will never ever understand my body. About 5 times a year I get no sleep at all. About 20-30 nights it’s 2-3 hours, mostly it’s 5-6 hours and rarely it is 7-8 hours. I go to bed at 10pm and read for between 1-3 hours. I wake anytime between 4am and 9am. I go to the loo once or twice night sometimes not at all and other nights FOUR times. I’ve tried my whole life to get a good night’s sleep. Even as a young child I was a poor sleeper.

I go to bed between 10 and 11 every night but read a book for around 30 mins in bed before turning the lights off. I usually get sleep then until 7ish.

i have a terrible sleep patternn and wake often on a good night ill get 6 hours

I’ve realised I am sleeping about seven hours a night, but always feel like I could do with another hour.?

Probably about eight hours if I'm lucky but less if disturbed and the cat has a habit of coming in during the night and scratching the bedclothes on my husbands side and waking us up. We've tried closing the door but she has wrecked the carpet on the landing and cries in the utility if we try to lock her in there for the night.

6 hours uninterrupted if I remember to take my HRT and then often another couple of hours after a 5 - 30 minute wake up. Pets and partners are not great for my sleep so I sleep alone.

6 hours is good but I have a really elderly cat with dementia and he usually taps in about the five and a half hour! ?

5 - 6 hours sleep ? but another 3-4 hours in bed ? reading or browsing on iPad.

I get about 7 sometimes 8 and yet I still feel tired in the day.

I only get about 4 hours at the most each night, so I always feel very tired the next day.

Hi
I sleep very badly Have tried the usual sleep hygiene advice but find it impossible to drop off sometimes Then I tend to sleep for an hour and then am awake for 2/3 hours before hopefully dropping off again . This seems to be a repeated cycle and I know its having a detrimental effect on my health/ everyday life Was referred by Gp to a sleep clinic online but to be honest, didn't really help . Its been a chronic problem for a few years and I really don't want to resort to sleeping tablets . Any advice gratefully recieved; thankyou.

probably between 7-8 hours but I must get up to go to the loo at least twice a night it's exceptional if I sleep through wothout needing the loo! Is it just getting older?

4 - 5 hours which is enough for me as I've had the same sleep pattern for many years. 2-3 hours after getting to sleep easily, then awake in the early hours when I read or potter around. Usually get back to sleep for an hour or two before waking up for good.

I'm lucky if I get between 6 to 8 hours sleep. If I go to bed before 11pm I lay wide awake for 2 to 3 hours then I end up getting up in the morning after about 9.am. I have tried having different drinks (but not too late) to help me sleep - but alas, no success.

I get about 7 hours sleep night. I often do have a nap about 5 for 30 minutes and that perks me up until 11.30pm

I go to bed at 10, wake around 12, drop off again, then wake about 3, then if I cannot get back off to sleep because the OH is snoring - I will sleep on the couch downstairs until 7 am - I would love love a through night - like I used to have as a child.

7 1/2hours, Usually go to bed at 10.30pm and wake up at 6am.

Haven’t slept through the night since a serious illness 15 years ago. Getting to sleep is not usually a problem (reading non-fiction rather than a gripping novel is the key to that plus mega strength valerian if anything to worry about coming up the next day) , it’s the waking up every few hours that’s the main annoyance. If there’s nothing on the next day, can easily then sleep until 9! Average hours? Anywhere between five and eight but broken, so broken.

Not enough, as I have a shoulder that aches and wakes me up. So I would say 5/6 hours.

I'm interested to read that, Lorraine379. Do you know what causes your shoulder to ache and wake you up?
I've just recently started having this and it's a darned nuisance.
Is it arthritis?

I’d have had a much better sleep last night if a neighbour hadn’t needed to do a spot of hammering at 7.30. The funny thing was that he was obviously trying to do it quietly and slowly. Which meant it went on for longer.

I usually get about 6 hours sleep but that's entirely my fault as I stay up in bed reading until quite late!
