How much sleep do you get?

[spectraltease]

How much/little do you get and how do you feel?
I sleep between 5-6 hours a day but I'm always tired. Even at 7-8 hours I am tired and unfocused.

 

[WhiteRabbit]

Around 6 hours a night.

 

[UKscotty]

On a good day about 12 hours, usually about 6 hours though.

Rarely have much energy.

I try to avoid pills, I had a bad addiction to them so have to stay well away.

 

[lita-lassi]

can someone make an insomnia megathread already i see the same issue in a brand new thread all the dang time lol

 

[LifeIsCrazyNemb]

Unfortunately im addicted to medication to sleep. I i need 1 pill of quetiapine + 1 pill of 10 mg Zolpidem to sleep.
I've been sleeping around 9-10 hours but always waking up tired and lazy. Also having nightmare frequently regarding CTB theme.
Its hell.

 

[Life_and_Death]

I can sleep, but I don't want to. I have something like a childhood trauma when it comes to sleeping and it's not reassuring for me at all. Either I sleep 5-6 hours or 12 on the weekend, both are bad.

 

[Malaria]

Not enough lol. For many years, there hasn't been a day where I didn't feel at least a little bit tired.

 

[theboy]

6 to 7

 

[haibane]

My sleep schedule is a mess, there's periods where i will only sleep 2 to 3hours and periods where i will sleep 10hours a night or even more.

 

[3/4Dead]

i take my meds? 13 hours.

a good night? 8-10

a normal night? 5-8

a bad night? 0-4

 

[thinvy]

I've got a sleep disorder and PTSD that's been acting up so it's anyone's guess really. I think I got like 6 today, 4 yesterday, 14 the day before, none before that, 8 before that...

 

[sserafim]

It depends

 

[heisenberg]

around 7-9 hours, depending when i have to go to work lol.

 

[Erik.t.f]

awake for 2-5 days then i sleep 3-6 hours

fun part is Sleep paralysis (1-3 times a mouth) , my brain just sends a person to wake me up before even falling a sleep

i consider my self as professional when it comes to sleep problems

 

[lostmind38]

I suffer horrible flashbacks and nightmares when I close my eyes.
On a good night,I'll get 4-5hrs sleep, on a bad one- will stay awake till it gets light outside and then crash for 10-12hrs.
I am constantly exhausted and struggle to concentrate.

 

[Z-A]

Used to be 10-12 hours on good days now it's around 6-8 hours. Either way I know that my life is going downhill slowly, this one just confirmed a part of it.

 

[FuneralCry]

Never enough, no matter what it'll never feel like enough. No amount of temporary sleep could ever bring any relief, only the peace of permanent non-existence ever could do, I only wish for an dreamless, eternal sleep where all is finally forgotten about.

 

[ijustwishtodie]

Around 7 to 8 hours. I don't know as I don't pay attention

I completely agree. Temporary sleep will never be enough for me. What I need is eternal sleep, anything less is not sufficient. I hope that I find peace soon and that you do too

 

[greebo6]

Not enough. Its not good and it doesn't help at all with mental health.

 

[Yuki_03]

around 7 hours. but sometimes i get near 4. or 12. its very irregular and i have to take benzos

 

[vesisika]

5-6 hours, sometimes 7

 

[Slow_Farewell]

5-6 but it depends. If it went over i usually have a headache.
There are days when i wake up feeling like i havent slept at all, there are days when i wake up..not refreshed but less pain. That feeling of falling asleep, waking up and feeling fully recharged is few and far in between for me. The most i can hope for is not to struggle to fall asleep. I just want me some sweet sweet black out action.

 

[F@#$]

As much as I can get. 8-10 hours more like 12-14 on the weekends.

 

[R_N]

I can't get good sleep ever again so it doesn't matter how much I 'sleep' in total. I never go into deep sleep I think or I just wake up when it starts happening with symptoms similar to sleep apnea.

Meds induced tho and irreversible. I have dry eyes and rarely feel rested or sharp minded. I also get disoriented when I don't get the minimum.

 

[tuey32]

I never leave my bed anymore

 

[kvheeo]

4-5 hours on a good day, usually 2-3 hours

 

[MyChoiceAlone]

frequently stay up for 2-3 days easy at which point i'll go get some alcohol. can't really tell how much sleep i get though because i don't know when i actually passed out. but having slept at all feels so good that if there is any alcohol left, i'll drink it right away or go get some more. it's embarassing throwing out all the empty bottles. hangovers and withdrawal suck too. also end up smoking a lot more when i should be sleeping.
