I need at least 8-10 uninterrupted hours to maintain my energy for the whole day. DH doesn't understand this, he is highly functional on 4-6 hours but then has naps.

Last night was the worst for being woken up multiple times. DH is off work due to an injury this week and is a night owl. He had a co-worker come by at 12:30am to pick up some tools and the dogs went crazy, and then he accidentally knocked over a bunch of stuff outside the bedroom at 2am, and then I was woke up again when he was finally coming to bed at 4am... this morning at work I'm taking my coffee by IV.

I typically sleep from about 11 - 7 and then haul myself out of bed by 8. It is usually interrupted at midnight though when DH takes me back to bed since I fall asleep on the couch every night.... so although I sleep a lot i'm often still tired.
I'm hoping the tv we just got as a gift for our room helps that problem out lol

i need 7-8 hours uninterrupted sleep
which doesn't always happen
my pattern is pretty normal
only screws up when my mind is anxious or nervous

I seem to need about 6-7 hours of sleep per night - I stay up with dh on the weekends, but cant stay in bed most times past 8am.

about 7 hours I think is a good amount, personally
funny, they say teens and seniors need a lot of sleep
funny, teens and seniors seem to get the least sleep

also, trying to sleep in on mornings when you don't have to wake up, why doesn't that work
seem to get up when there is no need to get up

I need around 6-7 hours of sleep. I tend to wake during night and was prescribed a sleeping pill. However, I prefer drinking camomile tea which helps aid sleep.

I used to get between 3-5 hours. Since I started taking meds, I get 6 or 7. I take my meds the same time every day.

My doctor prescribed me Trazodone. I don't feel that it's addictive, but it is a type of med that you have to wean off of when you want to stop taking it. I would just miss falling asleep quickly lol

no, i can't that.... it's an anti- depressant!! i'll stick with the occasional zoplicone which is for the occasional insomnia but thank you for answering my question

I need about 6 hours. I GET about 4-5 hours. Weekdays I get up at 5am. Every weekend I swear that I am going to sleep in past 6 am. But, no matter how late I am up, 5am and I am wide awake. I don't mind it though since I love being up and about before everyone else in the house. Quiet time.
