How well do you sleep? are you able to get 8 hours at a time? Do you have to do 3 and then 4 or 4 and then 3hours? I don't think I've had a full night since the babies came, years and years ago. Of course now it's the dog and cats who need me in the middle of the night.

Sleep??? Can't really remeber the last time I selpt all night. I wake two or three times every night, even if I go to bed really late to ensure i sleep all night. Children and pets all sleep all night, and I can remeber when I could sleep 12 hours solid!!

even though i dont get the required of 8 hours of sleep I still feel pretty awake when i wake up even though it takes up to an hour for me to be fully awake. But i can last on 4 to 6 hours a sleep a day and I know on the weekend i get more then 8 hours a sleep and whenever i dont work so thats fine for me.

LOL the joys of motherhood. If i am very lucky I can get 8 hours of sleep. Mostly, all i get is between 4 to 6 hours. This all depends on the kids and their bad dreams, my insomnia, and my husband getting a fire call. I hope you can get a good night's sleep tonight!

What did you say, did I hear you say sleep? Savypat I really can't even tell you what sleep is, I haven't got a good nights sleep since before my baby was born, and she was born 9 months ago. I didn't even get a good nights sleep when I was in my late pregnancy because I was sooo uncomfortable, and in somewhat pain a lot of nights. I usually get around 4-5 hours of sleep each night, except for the nights that my parents keep her over to give me a break. I'm always tired, but I'm now use to it.

Well i think my body needs seven to eight hours for when i do sleep in that hour i feel very energetic. But if i do it less than or more i feel very tired and sleepy for the whole day. But sad to say it is seldom for me to have that hours of sleep for i dont have enough time to sleep, lately i sleep an average to 4 to 6 hours a day. Which makes me sleepy and tired always.

i usually fall asleep around 11pm then wake up at 7:30 to take the kids to school, i am a very light sleeper tho which isn't good, b/c they say light sleepers don't get the adequate amount of sleep that heavy sleepers get. i don't dream very often which is a result of my light sleeping

Hi pat! I don't ever get anything more than 1 1/2 at a time if that much! I just can't fall asleep as it is! I have chronic insomnia. If I do get to sleep I don't stay asleep. I keep waking up and then I have trouble getting back to sleep. I stay up sometimes the whole night. I am usually on mylot until 3:30am. I will try to go to bed. I stay in the bed for a little while, but if I don't fall asleep within 1/2 hour or 20 minutes I get up and go back to the computer. I am working with my therapist to find out the reasons why this continues to happen. Hopefully someday we will get the answer.
