How long do you sleep for?

[Deleted]

I sleep for about nine hours on average. 11 to 8 on weekdays, and 12ish to about 9 on weekends. My bed is really comfy so I'm always tempted to lay in.

8-8 1/2 usually. Go to bed at 10ish, usually up around 6:30am. Sometimes earlier in summer and a bit later if it's winter-cold. I can't lay in bed if it's warm and bright.

4-5 hours. I work very long hours here in Japan, and often take work home, meaning little time for sleep.

I slept until 12 this morning. Very unlike me to stay in bed that long. I've got to take the bins out tomorrow so will be up at 7. Because I'm on tablets that make me tired I usually drift off ten or fifteen minutes after I get into bed. It certainly beats last year when I was up until 3am every night.

Used to be 8 hours. Now maybe 3 or 4.

I watch you sleep and I say it's more four and a half to five hours.

Yawn. Ready for retirement much?

Retirement? What do you think I am, a business man or somethin?

Until I wake up.

I sleep much better when it's raining. You can't help but feel extra warm and cosy in bed when it's chucking it down outside. It's pretty heavy here at the moment but I love the rain. The smell, the sound, the fact that it always makes me feel weirdly nostalgic for something. They say some people feel the rain while other people just get wet.

I'm a very poor sleeper - I have been since my forties. If I'm lucky, I'll get about 6 hrs a night but some nights it's less: 3 - 4 hrs (and then I feel like crap the next day). To make matters worse, I'm often troubled by disturbing/anxious dreams - so, me and sleep don't really get along.

"I'm often troubled by disturbing/anxious dreams"

Same here. Makes me feel anxious about going to sleep because I always have unsettling dreams where I'm in a vulnerable situation.

I occasionally take sleeping pills which, in my case, usually reduce the anxiety dreams. However, because of the side effects of this medication, I can only take 1 or 2 per week.

I'm probably going to stay up all night. I know it isn't healthy, but I keep having disturbing and scary dreams which are causing me great distress. I can't even look forward to sleep anymore because of this. I'll probably just listen to music and think about girls or something.

About six hours now. To be honest I hate sleeping. I just have so many bad dreams. I would stay up longer but my tablets knock me out completely within an hour of taking them. I try and make it till about 1am.
