As much as I can get and wherever I can get it - sleep that is!

Usually about 7-8 hours a night but I could easily sleep for 12+

I go to bed when I'm tired ... and wake up a few hours later .... not too much pattern in my sleeping habits .... but I can sleep anywhere; once fell asleep in a phone booth in Ossy after too long in the Black Dog. A nice gentleman in a blue uniform and a funny hat woke me up.

Monday to Friday i have about 6 - 7 hours sleep, at weekends maybe an hour more. Could do with a lot more on all days, but trouble is once i wake up it is very rare i can get back to sleep.

I get about 7 hours sleep, that does fine for me.

Gayle · 13-08-2009, 21:17

I get to bed between 11 and 11.30 but don't get to sleep for at least half hour most nights. I then usually wake up about 4 ish for an hour or so, then I get back to sleep till about 7 ish.

I usually seem to manage ok on that.

When I was working I got about 6 hours a night and thrived on it. Now, particularly since my illness, I go to bed about midnight and sleep until about 9. I do get up 2 or 3 times to go to the loo but I'm hardly awake. I also nod off if I sit with my feet up watching telly, usually only for 10 to 15 minutes at a time, I call it power napping.

SamF · 13-08-2009, 22:25

I could quite happily sleep midnight - 2pm however oft have to be up at 6.30 to get to work... when at uni earliest i'll get up is 9am and it feels like hell... would rather get up after 3 hours sleep than 6 hours

harwood red · 13-08-2009, 22:56

I get about 4 - 5 hours sleep a night... if I get really tired then I can have a power nap early eve for about 20 mins... but since getting ill I could sleep anywhere and everywhere as my sleep pattern has been shot to bits

There are things you can do to help him last longer

Depends when I go to bed.. normally about 6 hours but I always wake up early morning so if I've been out late it can be 2/3 hours

turkishdelight · 14-08-2009, 08:15
