If sleep was a subscription with three tiers, which subscription would you choose and why?
Standard
7.5 hours of sleep with one bathroom break and the possibility of waking up too cold or too hot twice per night. You also have atleast one day per week where you remain tired.
Basic
8 hours of sleep with two bathroom breaks and a good dream being interrupted nightly, no exceptions. You wake up feeling refreshed but have the feeling throughout the day of missing out on something.
Premium
8.5 hours of sleep, no bathroom breaks but you have a nightmare atleast once a week that you can't shake the entire day.
The subscription doesn't cost anything but you are required to pick one and you can not change subscriptions.
I think I'd have to go with the standard subscription. I don't like my dreams to be interrupted, and I don't really like nightmares. I can deal with being sleepy atleast one day per week.
What about you? Which would you choose?

I would hope for the standard. But I get up forty seven times throughout the night.

If I don't get up three times a night then I've probably taken benadryl. Even with beandryl, I get up atleast once a night.

@thislittlepennyearns Yeah that's going to be difficult to achieve. I hope you get the job because it seems like you've had trouble with every other place. Will you eventually go with walmart though?
Maybe after a few months she'll switch you to a different shift. In the meantime, I'd invest in some black out curtains for the bedroom, or an eye mask. I always had to have a noisemaker (my fans) going on and an eyemask or I couldn't sleep during the day.

@ScribbledAdNauseum It looks like I might start working 10pm-6am at a gas station. I am not excited about those hours, and I asked if she could find me different hours. But weve gotta get back to two incomes. And yeah so cross your fingers for that. If that happens my whole schedule is gonna flip flop around. Because I'll only be able to sleep when the kids and other half are gone.

It sounds like I almost have the Standard Subscription already 
. Oh gosh - I don't know which to pick . . .I want to tweak these subscriptions . . . I would just love to have nights of straight sleep . . . I wake up way too many times as it is.

@ScribbledAdNauseum Ugh - I sure know that feeling too. I don't know how many times I really wake up, but I think it's safe to say I wake up every 2-3 hours.

I wrote them the way I did because I knew none of them were perfect.
I wake up atleast twice a nice. I usually wake up about an hour before I want to go and go back to sleep.

Is there something below standard? I opt for 4 -6 hrs tops. The less I sleep the better. I got too much to do.

Nope, just these three options. I sleep about 4-6 hours, maybe 7. I am laying down for about 6 hours but have atleast two bathroom breaks.

I'd like the premium
I already have lots of nightmares so it'd be nice to have just one lol....also I really wish I could sleep a lot since I wake up a lot of times during the night and I don't like it

@samysotelo18 It really is annoying. I hate it especially when I am settled in and dreaming something really nice.
