How much sleep do you get?

I am in the 6-7 club at 52…

 

It's called "Parenthood"

 

Depends on our 12 year old German Shepherd. We have a deck outside the master bedroom. Some nights he goes out onto the deck to sleep when it's hot and drink water. Other times to go down the stairs to do his business. Lately at age 12 he can't get back up the stairs and whines to be let back in. So we have go downstairs to let him in the house. It's like having children all over again. Hard to get upset at the Old Guy. A good nights sleep is an undisturbed sleep. 8 hours at best, but not often.
Wouldn't have it any other way..

 

Good morning.......time to get my 10-12 hours in!

 

And therein lies my problem. 4 spinal fusion surgeries since 2014. Like you, I wake up in pain and have to get out of bed. Problem is, this gets really tiresome, and only sleeping for 2 hrs at a time really sucks. Every now and then, I'll sleep for 6-8 hours because of what I call chronic fatigue.

 

4-5 and wake several times in those hours. I’m 54 but always had sleep issues.

Three years to retirement and hope sleep improves

 

I retired from the FD when I was 48. I battle insomnia almost every night. If I go to bed before 2am? That’s unusual. After a career on the busiest Truck Company in the south the memories creep back in when I lay down. I’m lucky if I get 4-5 hrs.

 

I feel for you. My eldest daughter has anxiety and she talks about how it quite a bit.

When I think about suspenses/assignments I have to meet at work, sometimes that keeps me awake. I'm anxious to get to work and I don't want to disappoint.

Lots of variables associated with anxiety!

 

Yes to all of that . Add to it the fact of bullshit micromanaging and the stresses of work .

 

speaking of sleep, I think it's time to hit the sack. I stayed up late on purpose, hoping maybe I'll sleep to 6:00 am when the alarm goes off. We'll see.

 

Maybe we could share tips on sleep .

 

Anywhere from 3-12 hrs, but I probably average 7hrs. My wife hates me for my ability to sleep.

my kids don’t sleep past 7 so no matter when I go to sleep I’m up by 7.

 

8-9 for me since I’m on this new RX. In bed by 8:30 and up at the crack of dawn.

 

On the days i work anywhere between 6-7 hours. My natural clock keeps waking me around 7am-8am lately tho no matter how late i stay up so ill need to work on that habit on my days off

 

31 years young, 3 month old, rocking the 4-5 but at odd hours.. like ya know a couple hours before the alarm goes off so you can't really fall back to sleep fully.

 

10-12 hours, holy shit when can I get that again? 65?

Yeah I'm 34 w/ 2 toddlers, youngest approaching 2. I'm super grateful to get 7.

 

Generally 7.5-8 hours a night

 

Going on 6 years without a day off.

Since the pandemic began they closed out downtown office and we work from home.

I sleep 12 hours a day now and I still wake up tired.

 

52 here. 4 hours and 6 if I'm lucky. I'm a firm believer in going to bed at the same time each night. It seems to help.

 

36, I get 8hrs every night. I'm also blessed with being able to sleep anywhere, anytime. Within reason.
