How much sleep do you get?

[rumandbiscuits]

Sorry wasn't sure where else to post not quite an AIBU, but I could make it into one I suppose.

Just interested to know on average how much sleep you get every night? How old you are (if you want to disclose) and your sex (again if you want to disclose).

I will start I am a female, 26 and get on average 7.5 hours a night. Is this unreasonable in your opinion?

So sorry to hear that @NoIDontWatchLoveIsland my sister has just had her third miscarriage and she's in pieces. Hope your LO is getting better.

Female, mid thirties. Nowhere near fucking enough, ever - thanks to two nocturnal toddlers, two cats, and a husband who snores like a farm animal.

Female, 38, 7hrs maximum but usually 6. I would like more but I wake up no matter what at 4am and can't go back to sleep.

Usually anywhere between 6 hours on a bad night and 10 hours on a good night. I have more good nights than bad. When I am very tired (usually on a friday) I will cone home from work and have an extra 2 hours sleep.

40+ Female.
Kids are much older.

53 year old woman and I average about 6 hours.
But it's very broken because of the pain I have with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis. I usually wake around 6 or 7 times a night.

Female 55
4-6 hours
Wish it was more

I usually wake at least once but some nights ‘see’ every hour
Last night went to bed at 10 as very tired probably dropped off around 10.30 woke at 1.45 then 2.15, then 3 ish 4 ish 5 ish and 6 ish eventually got back to sleep then woke at 8.15 and was late for work!

usually a good 7/8 hours

Female, 35. I used to get about 8.5 hours but I have a 1 year old so it's probably about 6-6.5 now. He's up no later than about 7.20am.

Less than 6 and I get all despondent and weepy.

Female, 29, 6ish.

I could do with a lot more but I have a 4yo who gets up at 5am and I'm a night owl so can't get to bed early.

Female, 40 and 9-10 hours.

31 f. Between 4-6 hours

Female, 29 years old, between 4 and 7 hours. I have an almost 5 month old who sleeps through the night (10-5) for the most part...

Female 48 currently getting about 7 hours. Do suffer from insomnia from time to time where I usually wake up at 4 for a couple of hours then fall asleep just before the alarm goes off. Feel so much better at the moment!

I do find that if I read on my phone in the night the waking continues but if I manage to get into a book on my kindle I usually fall back to sleep quicker and stops after a week or so

42, 5-6 hours

Female 39 .Around 7 hours

Female, early twenties
5-7 hours on weeknights, 7-9 hours at weekends.
Almost always wake up at least once though

Female, 42, sleep 6-8 hours, but only with the assistance of Gaba, 5-HTP and a marijuana tincture. Otherwise I might get 4 hours tops.

Around 6 hours (39)

Female 29 5-7 hrs a night, all depending when I fall asleep.

30 year old female, probably around 8 hours, sometimes more. I'm lucky my 16 month old sleeps through, but I work 2-3 night shifts a week and dont get to sleep in the day afterwards, so I guess I make up for it the remaining 4-5 nights

33 female. 4/5 hours a night. Even my Gabapentin doesn’t help.

I’m 46, with a 9 year old and my mum who is 83 lives with us so I would say 5 hours a night if I’m lucky.
