Me personally, I only sleep for a full night once every few months or so. Usually only 7 hours tops even on those days. Pretty much every night I'm waking up every few hours to pee, and I'm having chronic nightmares while asleep. I used to smoke weed so that it would take away my ability to dream, and make me wake up less throughout the night, but I lost my plug so I've been forced to be sober for months now.

Throughout my years of trouble, on or off meds, my sleep is generally not effected too badly. I sort of just blackout most nights because I'm exhausted, seems no matter how much sleep I get I'm constantly tired.

Not sure if this classes as good sleep.

I used to get good sleep every couple weeks, but in recent months a combination of vivid dreams that leave me with an unbearable sense of loss and "you can't sleep until you've accomplished something today" feelings mean I've been cruising at 4-5 hours

honestly it's been good so far, I used to be an insomniac, the anti depressants I've been taking helped my sleep

I can sleep for 2 hours or I can sleep for 20. My sleep cycle is beyond fucked.

Ngl it's my own fault I can't sleep now. I wake up in the middle of the night to hit my vape. It did start because I was waking up already but it worsened the problem

That sounds horrible, my condolences.

I get good sleep if I wake up the same time daily and hold it for around 2 weeks (and obviously do the bedtime/daylight/caffeine/exercise/stress/winddown/diet/alcohol/hydration timing/etc).
