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

I go to bed at about 12 with the intention of having 7.30 hours, However my DH has me up at least 3 times a night, and last night every hour, so I don't think I get enough quality sleep.

I find I’m fine with 6-7 hours on a good night. Not so good with fewer hours on other nights.
I don’t nap during the day or it’s hard to drop off and I wake at ridiculous o’clock!
Irritating when DH can snooze in the morning, the afternoon and the evening and is out like a light 10 mins after getting into bed!

Normally 8-9 hours but never wake up feeling refreshed which I don't understand after all that sleep. Use Lavender oil if I find it hard to drift off and that really works for me.

Regularly enjoy a solid five hours of deep quality sleep. Anything more than that is much shallower and I drift in and out of it. Don't mind a bit and occupy myself with catch up telly or some reading. Have taken to really enjoying being in bed during LD but that will change once the lighter mornings arrive (hooray!) and I'll be forever in the garden.

Usually start bedtime routine between 10.30 and 11, read till midnight. Wake several times in night, start morning get-up between 8.30 and 9.30. Aim to be downstairs, dressed, breakfasted and bed/s made by 10am. Often listen to audio books in night. Often have tea and porridge in bed. I vacate matrimonial bed if can't sleep or DH snoring too loudly. Probably between 6 and 8 hrs' sleep.

I go to bed most nights between 11.30pm and midnight. I read for an hour or so (sometimes longer if it's a really good book) and wake up around 9am so I suppose I get between seven and eight hours. I've posted my sleep strategies on the sleep week thread.

5 if lucky and never more than 2hrs at a time.

I get varying amounts of sleep depending if I’m disturbed or not.
Disturbances vary from my husband ( who is the usual culprit), me needing a bathroom visit or not being able to get off to sleep or lastly the cat being sick, meowing or bringing me a gift.
My need for sleep is about 8-9 hours I usually get about 6 to 7

Usually go to bed between 11 & midnight, read for 15-20 minutes, then lights out, and I sleep for about 7-8 hours. If I have a drink after 9pm I may get up once during the night, but usually I sleep like a log. Occasionally I have a night when I can't get off to sleep because my brain won't stop thinking, so I make a cup of tea and read my book.

sometimes 3 sometimes 4. I truly wish I could sleep more but I have never been a good night sleeper. I would rather be awake then.

I get around 10 hours a night. I could sleep longer but it eats into my day time. Sometimes I have to have an afternoon nap too which can last 2 hours or more.

I must have 7-10 hours a night. If I don’t get at least 8 l will nap during the day or evening.
Feeling very fortunate not to have to get up during the night and can sleep 10 hours without waking (l don’t think I do).
My mother used to tell me that l have always slept well for hours.
I have occasionally woke myself up either calling out or apparently laughing in my sleep (a cousin told me this sharing a room).

My mum used to say the fact that I sleep well was a sign of a clear conscience.

I am helping my youngest DD with her 3 children 2 of whom are under 5! As I am the one going into the 3 year old (sleep avoidant) I get around 5 hours broken sleep a night!

CBD oil plus an evening walk of around half an hour and I sleep really well - a good 7 hours at least

I only manage about 6 or 7 hours sleep each night. Either my husband snoring or our pet dog climbing on the bed disturb me generally.

Occasionally I get up early and have a cup of tea, and if I can't get back to sleep, watch something on iplayer or read.

Usually I have a short snooze after lunch to catch up.

I've never slept well, and in the last five years or so I go off to sleep without any trouble, and can wake up in an hour, two, three or more and be awake for the rest of the night. On very rare occasions, maybe once in three months, I will sleep for 6 hours, never more.

However, now I have a supply of melatonin I usually go back to sleep after a short time, and last night, I had 7 hours sleep and was only awake occasionally.

Lack of sleep has a terrible effect on one's life - I used to dread having to go to work after a really bad night. Now that I am retired I am able to have a nap if I'm overtired.

I’ve just this morning had a long conversation with my GP about breaking the vicious circle of poor sleep and being tired all day. I go to bed about 10pm after fighting wanting to go about 9pm! I read for a while then fall asleep for a couple of hours waking about 3am (loo visit) and often lie awake worrying about nonsense for a couple of hours. Doze from about 5:30 to 7:39 then get up. I’m weary all day - lots due to anxiety. He’s suggested. valerian which takes 3-3 weeks to work and putting ne in touch with a link worker to help me manage my anxiety to reboot the sleep pattern. Unfortunately all leads to lockdown fatigue.

I have absolutely no idea! I aim for around 10 hours in bed, but with constant waking up and the time it takes to get back to sleep it won't be anywhere near that (wish it was)

I usually drop off around half past midnight, then I sleep till around 6.30 and doze till I get up around 8.30. That's on a good night, most nights I start to drop off then within minutes my cough starts and I continue with coughing fits on and off all night. That continues nightly until I can't stand it any longer and I take a short course of steroids for a few days relief before it all starts up again.

Some nights it's fine. Some it's not... 5.30 this morning, after going to bed at midnight sigh

I sleep really well. I tend to go up between 10 & 11 most nights & read for a short while - then I wake up between 7.30 & 8 usually unless the cats are particularly hungry when they wake me earlier for their breakfast. I get up & make a cup of tea & go back to bed & listen to radio 4 to find out what is happening in the world.
DH stays downstairs in his study until very late usually ( he has various computers & a TV in there & we rarely watch the same TV programmes anyway) & then sleeps in late- which really annoys me as I want to get up & get on & it is a pain having him snoring away upstairs.

7-8 hours a night- on good nights. Some nights are good though I rarely sleep through without any waking. Some nights are dreadful and I can't get to sleep til the early hours. The cat isn't allowed into the bedroom at night - it was a rule from the beginning and she is perfectly fine with a bed on a chair and a rug near the aga if she prefers, plus access to outside. I can't believe these people who allow their precious sleep to be disturbed by their cat! Mostly I don't need the loo, but sometimes have to. After my covid jab I had a terrible night, and had to go to the loo four times, plus headache and fever (but I feel it was worth it). Now I sleep in a separate room to my snoring, restless husband at least I sleep better than I did. I never nap during the day unless I am ill, which thankfully is not often.

Now I am on my own and have medication to stop restless leg, I go to bed late (12 or 1), am asleep in minutes, have at least one toilet trip and wake around 8.30. I usually have a sudden onset of exhaustion around mid afternoon so often catch another couple of hours between 3 and 5 in the afternoon.

I think I must be catching up on lost sleep over many years, suffering with RLS and caring for OH with Dementia

7-8 hours usually and if the weather is bad I sometimes have a nap during the day. If I do go to sleep during the day perhaps the term nap is wrong. Left undisturbed I sleep for 2 hours despite OH watching very noisy cowboy films on TV. Having 2 hours downtime during the day does not normally affect my 7-8 hours.
I cannot cope with a bad night’s sleep. The next night I take Phenergan to get me back to my usual deep sleep.

Depends on the night. Sometimes I manage seven hours - always with a loo break and I'm happy if I go back to sleep again. Other nights, like last night I was up for a couple of hours in the night and then lay in bed until dawn when I finally dropped off...
