Thread: Sleep , are you getting enough?

About 6 hours during the week. 8 at weekends.

I get up early no matter what. I just can't stay asleep when it's light outside. Although I do nap on the sofa...

Sleep walking.

Lucid dreaming.

What Is a CPAP Machine? How It Works, Pros, Cons

A CPAP machine sends a steady flow of pressurized air into your nose and mouth as you sleep. This keeps your airways open and helps you breathe normally.

Here in LOS more of a see Crap, as Mendy noted about Loopy's bike ride you okkers can enjoy food and drink without littering everywhere.Even in unmetalled lanes there always seems to be plastic rubbish,I used to collect outside pre covid then the tambol ceased bin collections!

On average 7 and a half hours. I have a samsung ring that tracks my sleep. I get sleep time, sleep stages, breathing rate, heart rate and heart variability and temp.

My sleep quality is generally ok, but always light on rem stage sleep.

Cannot stand wearing a watch when sleeping, but the ring is perfect for me

About 6 hours during the week, 10-12 at weekends. Averaged over a week it works out at 7.5 hours a day. I wake up for a pee far more than I would like.

All standard middle aged stuff.

I could sleep professionally.

^ Betchya couldn't compete with my wife.

She could sleep for Thailand, and as we know there's a lot of competition for that spot.


I'm lucky to get 5 hours a night.

I have no trouble dropping off, and after over two weeks have just completed three, 50 minute episodes of 'Death in Paradise' because I just can't stay awake for a complete episode... but then I always wake up around 1 to 2am ish... and then the thoughts set it in and I rarely get any more sleep.

I find that once I get in the mindset of 'I really to need to get to sleep', then I'm completely buggered, and may as well just get up... which I frequently do at around 4am. A school day here starts around 5:00 to 5:30 am anyway, but I do wish I wasn't up before dawn at weekends as well, regardless of the night I've had. Even a boozy night has no effect, I still wake up stupidly early.

As a result I'm permanantly knackered.

Is this a result of 30 years of nightshift, across different time zones? Maybe my body clock has no rhythm to adhere to any more?

Have you tried using that fantastic swimming pool you have really seriously?

Body clock and rhythm sounds like bollocks. You've spent more time relaxing at home already this year than most folk will get all year.

The neighbours on each side of here are old, and old style Thais. Seem to be up and outside doing manual stuff from 5am, if not earlier, and their places have all signs of life shut off from 8pm. One must be 60+ and seems to start his 16 hours a day of chopping up various objects with his axe whilst topless at around 4:30. Actually not a sleeping pattern and lifestyle I'd say no to in me 60s.

What... post teens?

Cyrille is very correct of course. I was doing 5km a day on the treadmill, swimming lengths, etc, when I had my Yogi incident on Nov 1st last year. Couldn't do much at all after that for a couple of months, and then you get out of the habit...

I did find that regular exercise helped my sleep no end, plus when exercising, the alcohol intake tended to go down so another boost for good sleep.

It is so much easier to talk about it than actually do it.

I vary between 5 and 8 hours depending on work but i struggle staying up late, its been a problem since i worked overseas, it fukd my body clock up and trips overseas don't help. What does help and something my middle sister started me on as she worked 2 on 2 weeks in the states was melatontin tablets, they help in resetting your clock.

I rarely wake up for a piss but i don't drink anything after 5pm unless its beer or wine on a non-school night, i also don't drink cafeine after 3pm

Yadong and beer every night isn't going to help with sleep.

average 4hr a night.

^ Glad to see you posting again, Fondles.

Seven hours at night and a one hour nap if the afternoon does it for me.

There must be a massage parlour nearby that could help you relax.

Around 6:30 hours, on the weekend, I take an afternoon snooze. I consume far too much coffee during the week, and I am sure it messes with my REM sleep.

8 hours is my go to

and on days off I do like a mid afternoon nana nap

afternoon naps hmmmm, i would like one but i don't seem to be able to

We do downstairs but in our bedroom sealed container is better because there is no smell to attract the ants.
Plus if I put in a plate of water her food is above us on a wide headboard, our cat would knock the plate of water over on my face to wake me up, I prefer the wet nose method she not as stupid as she makes out.

^^ are you sure that wet thing is his nose?
