I'm all over the place. Sometimes I can't get to sleep, sometimes I can't stay asleep, and once in awhile I sleep for 10 hours.
A new study has come out that says people who sleep more than eight hours a day might suffer some ill effects.
"A full eight hours of sleep -- we know it's good for your day, your emotions -- your health. But if you often get much more than this believe it or not, it's not so good. You could find yourself at an increased risk for a number of health problems."

I'm lucky to get eight. Buster would never allow us to get ten hours.

Hi Noel I can't remember the last time I slept through the night. Like you, I either can't get to sleep at all, or I get to sleep, but wake up every hour and a half or two hours all through the night.
Seems like I sleep with one eye open. It's been that way ever since I was the victim of a home invasion, almost 30 years ago. While I eventually got over the fear, for the most part, it was like it just became my regular sleep pattern and I've never been able to change it.
It's now complicated as I age by Rheumatoid Arthritis and my most recent diagnosis of COPD.

Same here, 5-6 hours which includes a bathroom run and I constantly feel tired. If I can, I will take a nap. 4:00 has become my new 6:00. Makes for a very long day. At least I know I am not alone.

Hi Bette! I totally understand about the residual effects of a home invasion. A terrible thing for you to have gone through. and I'm so sorry it happened to you.
I didn't know you also had serious health issues, RA alone would most likely cause sleep disturbances, I know lupus does. Not sleeping is par for the course for us. I learned a long time ago not to make morning appointments.
I hope today is a good day for you
