      I seem to sleep and wake in 4-5 hr sprints.. Sleep 4hrs awake for 5. It's rather frustrating because I can't sleep at night.

      Currently been up for 26 hrs. Yesterday I slept maybe 3 hours before this awake cycle. Sleep cycle can be 3-15+ hrs right now. Before leaving my job I was getting about 3-4 hrs due to insomnia issues, but my days off I would be out for 12+ hrs so get nothing done.

      I’m lucky if I get 4-5 hours

      Since my sister returned my weighted blanket, I've been sleeping 12+ hours. Before that it was less than 8, and I would wake up every couple of hours.

      I haven't been able to get good sleep for a month. I don't sleep more than a couple hours and when I do it's constant nightmares

      My sleep amounts mostly depend on my pain levels and how exhausted I am. As well as if it's a night that I take my sleeping medication, which I can't take on days that I have to be functioning in the morning.

      I get shitty sleep

      My husband works an off shift and I try to spend time with him when he gets home each day, then still take all 3 kids to their schools on time each morning. But we do get to nap while they're away. I also have bradycardia which makes it difficult to wake up in general

      My insomnia is awful. I’m back home for thanksgiving break and I honestly thought being back would help me sleep a little better but no, I tried a sleep hypnosis last night with one if my 0.5 xanax and it had me out for about 2 hours before I woke back up and tossed and turned before going back out for another 4 :/ for me I need about 8 hours of sleep to maintain my mood stabilization and with the way school has been demanding me around on top of my already awful sleep problems it does not help

    • italianxpeaches

      The only reason I even get 6-8 hours is because of a medication to sedate me. Otherwise my insomnia would put me in the 4-5 range and none at all some nights.

      It can fluctuate based on my depression and anxiety

    • MsAi

      Definitely depends on the night. Some nights it feels like I could sleep all day, others I can't sleep even if I wanted to.

    • SomeKindaKid

      521d

      I typically sleep 12+ hours a day

    • LotusFlower

      It depends on the night.

      During the week anywhere between 0-4 on and off. The weekend if no one bothers me I get close to 12-16. Sunday 0.

    • tinyNana0508

    • Roxi7039

      2- 12 hours depending on the situation

      • Roxi7039

        639d

        @Roxi7039 Like last night I only got 2 hours, just woke back up and ended up staying up, couldn't get back to sleep

    • History.and.cats

      639d

      The answer is simply never enough. It can vary each day for me but I'm always tired anyway

    • SheGathersRain

      Oh man… between 4-12 hours depending on the night 😅 I never know how to answer this question when my doctor asks

      I lay in bed for about 9 hours. My fitbit tells me I spend a lot of time awake at night so usually actual sleep around 6-7.

    • VariaMoon

      667d

      Wow shocked by the results, I can’t even get out of bed the next day with out at least 9. Good on u guys, but if you are struggling try more sleep. It’s key for me having any energy at all.

      Anywhere from 5 to 6 hrs I used to take sleep meds, but they only work a little while. It's the bipolar kicking in I guess... 😥

    • Lill

      667d

      I struggle on 6 hours or less, but I can sleep 14hrs straight. An optimal amount of sleep from how I feel when I wake up is 7-9 hrs

      • Lill

        667d

        @Lill My sleep definitely depends on how I am feeling, and if I have something to do or look forward to the next day. Scheduling plans is the only way I can get myself out of bed when I depression/world avoidance sleep

    • Harvey78

      667d

      😥lately i get tired n i feel like my eyes are drooping but then ill get a 2nd & 3rd wind. And be up till 5am then pass out

    • mearbearz

      667d

      I always end up in bed for 9-10 hours/night. I will usually wake up once or twice but I will never feel fully rested unless I am in bed for at least 9 hours.

    • JAY789

      688d

      I don’t know when the last time I got a full restful 8 hours of sleep. Because I use to be a Firepolice officer so my pager could go off at any time. Some calls were only a few minutes long but some were hours long. But lately my grandfather had health issues so I didn’t get as much sleep as I should because I was worried about him. But sadly he passed away last Saturday morning and we had his memorial service on Wednesday. I know this might sound mean but now that my grandfather passed away and I know that he isn’t In anymore pain. I find that I have been able to sleep better and I’m not so restless like I was before.

    • pianochick

      Never the same....and usually interrupted. I feel grateful if I get 6 quality hours of sleep.❤️

    • MaeBea

      688d

      I've stayed up for nearly twenty four hours once and felt exactly the same as when I get ten hours of sleep, so I've somewhat given up on getting a full eight hours. But even four consecutive hours? You're dreaming! Or y'know, not . . As long as I get six or seven in a night, that's a win in my book.

    • Noemie

      688d

      Sometimes I get 4 and sometimes I get 6-7 hours. Sometimes I even get none..

    • hsupermann

      699d

      It's either less than 4 or more than 10 and there is no in-between

    • AmandyCandy

    • AnxiousBean

      737d

      I need at least 10 hours of sleep to feel semi-well rested 🤷 I've slept for 14 hours once, woke up, and was still tired

    • 0_Shinigami_0

      I need more sleep, but I just quit smoking weed, and I was a chronic user who it helped go to bed… wish me luck on my 3 hours

    • nutter

      792d

      My sleep depends on how my day went and where I'm trying to sleep. Such as when I'm home I can't sleep when anyone else is awake. However i did found people and places I feel safe to sleep. For Instance when I'm with my bf or godmother I feel safe to sleep so I would be getting 8+ hours of sleep. Normally I get around none to three hours of sleep just do to the feeling of unsafe while sleeping.

    • mittys

      792d

      I will try that 😥

    • Meek84

      792d

      I've a routine to getting the maximum amount of sleep 💤 that a long shower to relax my muscles than a nice bath 🛁. I usually can get about 6-8hrs maybe 10hrs if I'm lucky without a pain flare. My body is accustomed to getting 4-6hrs maybe 8hrs

    • mittys

      792d

      Would love to sleep more but the pain is horrible 😫

      it honestly just depends on certain things

    • Nana1124

      866d

      I sleep anywhere btwn 10 - 12 hours a night, except when hubby is home on the weekends. Week after next is Christmas and I'm probably going to sleep just as much then as I am now. All of our children are grown and have families of their own. My disability prohibits me from traveling even short distances. I prefer to stay home, I've always been more of a homebody anyway, now I have a legit reason to stay home. My husband finally understands that I would much rather be at home in pain then go to someone else's home. I have, in the past, gone to family functions, but almost always find myself wishing I was home instead. So glad hubby has noticed and has acquiesced on forcing me to attend family gatherings. It only took him 10 years!

    • Ashalee

      866d

      It honestly depends. Most of the month I can easily sleep 8-12 hours and about a week straight I sleep for 2-3 hours.

    • Neomi

      871d

      Since my baby girl was born I sleep much less but I still keep trying to get as much sleep as I can because it's so important for our mood.

    • Elyndria

      872d

      This is such a difficult question to answer considering I never sleep a whole night through. I often wake up every couple hours and sleep throughout the day. My sleeping patterns are so inconsistent 😥

    • sunflower7

      872d

      I've started counting getting 5 hours as a great accomplishment :/

    • HotMess

      872d

      My sleeping habits varies, there's some days where I'll only get max 2-3 hours and then there's days where I'll get nearly 10 hours.

    • SimplyImperfect

      872d

      Some days I sleep 3-4 hours, other days 9-12 hours it varies

    • ChronicallyChaotic

      873d

      Allie_May*** that’s exactly how I was trying to put it. Like I will wake up wide awake for a few hours and then sleep for a few more hours

    • Allie_May

      873d

      I sleep for a couple of hours and then for some reason every night between 230 and four I’m awake and then I sleep for a couple more hours and then I usually nap for an hour or two during the day sometimes more depending upon how I feel

    • Sareina

      873d

      It varies. I’ve been put on medications but now if I take them I’m a zombie in the morning and the nightmares are crazy 😥

    • UnluckyUnicorn

      873d

      I’m on multiple sleep medications and have yet to get anywhere near 8 hours of sleep let alone restful sleep. The insomnia is strong in this one

      • Mstrmech

        520d

        @UnluckyUnicorn I have both obstructed sleep apnea, and REM sleep behavior (where you scream, yell, swing arms and legs, sleepwalk, act out dreams,etc,etc.) Last night in my dream, I was running up the wall(in my dream) and when I ran down the wall, I landed on the floor, pretty hard. Luckily, there were the decorative pillows on the floor. I have multiple meds too, but wake up groggy, and unmotivated. Fortunately, I'm very close to retirement, and will make up some of the last 20+ years of poor sleep

    • JustRachelle

      Never 8 hours straight. More like 4 hours (wake up) 4 hours.

        @ChronicallyChaotic I have heard some argue that is humans’ natural rhythm. Gotta take those lookout shifts for threats.
