Re: How much sleep do you require?

I can survive with 5 or 6 hours.  I usually go to bed between 10 - 11 pm and get up at 5:30 a.m. but that doesn't mean I slept the whole night. I am a light sleeper so if I wake up it is difficult for me to go back to sleep. As I get older it is more difficult for me to get by on so little sleep.  I am over 50 now, and when I am really tired I forget things more than I used to, and I also think it makes me more susceptible to illnesses.

The older I get the less sleep I seem to need.  Usually I get 6-7 hours of sleep and I never go for more than 90 minutes to 2 hours without waking up.  I have little trouble falling asleep.  My problem is staying asleep.

Re: How much sleep do you require?

7hours is adequate but 8 is even better. I love sleep and would like more but I'm not comfortable after 8hours and getting up and moving around feels better. Probably need a new bed. I drink a lot of water throughout the day and evening so I'm up a couple times at night but fall back to sleep easily.

Around 5.

 

My sleep is usually broken--hence, my user name.
