Sleep

[Camerus]

Nowadays I get about 6-7 every weeknight, and about 7-8 or so on weekends.  But I need far less sleep now than I did about 5+ years ago.  This is an advantage of growing older.

[Brazen]

I often find myself napping for 2 or 3 hours on the evening even. Which is...weird.

No, just a sign of ageing 

[Brazen]

I don't vary much between week days and weekends now. I turn in about 11.30 and wake up about 6.45. I've mostly shaken of the insomnia I suffered from and even if I get up in the night I can usually drop off again.

Sleep is for the weak. So I get lots of it. At least 8 hours a day, though I've gone as long as 14 before.

My pulmonologist, my cardiologist and I are still working out the bugs on my sleep disorders, but my new sleep apnea machine has been doing wonders.  I actually feel good when I get a good nights' sleep now, and everyone can tell when I don't.  I look and feel like I've been hit by a dump truck.

Last night, I went to bed at 10, and this morning I woke up at 5:30.  Wow.  I feel great.  On nights when I fall asleep on the sofa at 1am, and wake up at 5sm...well, not so good.

Unfortunately, I've always been a night owl, so that's a habit that takes time to break.

Formerly around 4-5 each night, but there've been more nights with more sleep since I started on antidepressants, so it's probably getting up around the 6-7 hour mark now.

The last few years have been awful when it comes to sleep quality, so much that I've decided not to work most evenings because I just couldn't handle it. I get around 4 hours on workday nights. I survive on naps and weekends.

[Slargos]

I don't wake up feeling rested whether I sleep 5 or 10 hours. Funnily, I typically feel better after 4-5 hours than after 7-8 though I quickly need to sleep again later during the day.
If I get to sleep until I wake rather than when the alarm goes off I get somewhere between 8-9 hours unless I've been pulling a lot of late nights over the week.
So in essence: It varies. Typical work night I try to get in at least 7 hours.

Slargos, like Cdm, you probably suffer from some sort of sleep apnea.

I have a tendancy to snore. I don't think it's apnea, but it's a definite possibility. Snoring might be enough.
I'm starting a strict diet and exercise regimen and perhaps it will sort me out.

I may have it too. I have been waking up very tired for the last few months too. And I sleep for 7 hours or so.

[Martinus]

I mean, I sleep for 7 hours and more but usually wake up tired and feel sleepy a lot during the day. I'm edgy and prone to aggressive reactions. And have always had problems with breathing through my nose due to deviated septum or something.

[Grey Fox]

Yep, no achieving REM sleep for ya.

[Valmy]

I'm edgy and prone to aggressive reactions.

You?  I find that hard to believe.
