Do you get enough sleep?

[Grant]

Do you think you get enough sleep? I try to get at least 5-6 hours a night. I know you're supposed to get like 8-9 hours of sleep. But that's easier said than done for me. I like sleeping though.

Anyway, do you believe you get enough sleep? Do you ever nap when needed?

 

[strend32]

I don't think 8-9 hours of sleep is necessary in every stage of life. Some people's bodies need more, some people need less. For example, I can't sleep more than 6 hours, even if I have absolutely nothing to do that day. Despite this, I wake up in the morning in full energy.

As much as I would love to, I'm just too busy but I know how important it is to have an adequate sleep. I hope I'll be able to do that soon with effective time management.

I get enough sleep to manage most days will little to no coffee but I do have issues with sleep where I wake up at least once a night. Sometimes it is worse than others. I consider it a good night when I get a solid 6 hours before waking up.

 

[Busybee]

I think 6 hrs of sleep is enough for me as my body feels rested. If at any point in time of the day, I feel tired then I resort to power naps.

Do you guys get enough sleep these days? I tend to stay up late in the night and wake up kind of early. It's not great, but that's the way I am. I'm a night owl and hate going to bed early most nights. Anyway, that's not what this topic is about. It's more about whether or not you get enough sleep. Do you? I probably get around 5-6 hours of sleep a night. I know it's recommended that you sleep at least 8 hours a day, but I don't know if I really need that long myself.

Do you get enough sleep? If not, how many hours do you sleep in a usual night?

 

[Riberet19]

Yes, I think so, my body needs at least 7-8 hours a day of sleep to be well the next day, I usually go to bed around 00:30 or 01:00 most days and try at least to sleep 7 hours, because if not, the next day I will be quite tired and without energy.

One should know what it feels good to your body and try to sleep the minimum hours with which your body works optimally the next day, besides that sleeping little or sleeping a lot is not good for health from my opinion.

 

[Debashis]

Yes! I make sure I sleep at least for 8 Hours every night. I try to sleep by 12 - 12:30 AM and wake up by 8 - 8:30 AM. It's really important to sleep well. Not everyone needs 8 Hours of sleep though. The number differs from person to person. Just get the adequate amount of sleep that your body needs in order to keep your mind fresh when you wake up and start your day.

I generally always get enough sleep, with the exception possibly being on Thursday since I have to work overnight that night. I used to have trouble sleeping when I was younger, but once I fall asleep I usually stay asleep or go back to sleep if I wake up.

 

[Heatman]

Unfortunately, I'm among those set of people who are struggling so bad when it comes to sleeping. It's been over 7 or 8 years that I haven't slept more than 3 to 4 hours every night. I'm always awake till 3AM or 4AM before I finally sleep. I always wake up by 6AM.

 

[Ja sa bong]

Yes, I sleep well at night. I haven't slept off is because I've not been in bed. My bed feels like there's a sleeping potion in it. I can't do anything in bed without sleeping off expect for the other thing which you all know 😂. I enjoy my sleep. I feel bad for people who can't sleep easy like I do.

I always envy those who can actually sleep very well because it is a feeling that I have lost touch with for a very long time. It's something that have been affecting me physically and mentally for a long period of time. There is nothing that I've done so far to be able to correct it and that is a thing for me to worry about.

 

[Heatman]

Well, sleeping well is not something that I've been doing in a healthy manner for a long period of time because my sleeping pattern have been wrecked for more than seven years.

I can't remember the last time that I've been able to sleep more than 4 hours every night. I must always wake up 6AM in the morning to do some things that I need to do that can't be overlooked.

My sleep schedule has been random and sporadic for as long as I can remember. My mental health issues have made it so that I sleep when I want to sleep and am awake when I want to be awake. I think I fell asleep at 1 AM last night, woke up at 8 AM, and then I ended up taking a nap from 2 PM to 5:30 or so because of a mental health shutdown and headache.

Things have been worse in the past - I've spent some days staying up all night and sleeping most of the day. I've stayed up until 3 AM or 4 AM in the morning, got up at 7 to eat breakfast, than immediately went back to bed again. My brain has no sense of time. I've slept between Zoom calls for college during Covid.

 

[Samurai2]

Most of the time I do not due to my mind constantly wandering and I am not one to take sleep medication therefore I just stay awake most of the time.

 

[Empire]

Each night I get different sleep hours, depending on what I feel on that day/night and what time I do get to sleep. Mostly I go to bed around 11 pm or later but then I watch films or TV series on my tablet till 2 am. Lately, it's been 1 am

If I go to sleep a little early I wake early

I get around seven to eight hours sleep I do get up later in the day hahaha

 

[Shortie]

As much as I would love to feel like I get enough sleep, due to health issues and sometimes struggling to fall asleep or stay asleep, sometimes a nap is needed.

I used to feel guilty for taking a nap but after speaking with my doctor, he told me to not feel guilty and that if my body is telling me it needs rest, I should listen to it and now I tend to do so and feel better listening to it.

 

[Nebulous]

I get enough sleep on the weekends but during the week I have to be up at 5am everyday and its hard going to bed before 10 or 11pm for me.

 

[EchoRomeo]

I definitely get less than the recommended amount of sleep, usually 5 hours/night, then always try to get a nap during the day. I've always been that way. I care a lot about the sleep I get and have occasionally been afraid I'm not getting enough (especially reading the news about needing sleep to clear toxins from the brain and that kind of thing lol), but I generally don't feel sleep deprived and am satisfied that I'm doing my best to prioritize it.

 

[Oluwatobitomisin]

To me it quite depends on where i am, if i am at my house, i see no reason why i should have enough sleep than when i had gone to visit someone and i had to sleep over, no matter what i wouldn't really feel at home and might not sleep well
