How much sleep do you get?

[Karenista]

What time do you go to bed?
What time do you get up?

Average 6, I struggle to switch off. After fighting to get DS to sleep then cleaning up after him, I feel like I need to have a couple hours "me" time and even watch tv with a cuppa.

Hardly anything at the moment as I'm in DV situation but getting out Monday.

Not a good sleeper anyway.

@Doggybiccys that sounds so tiring

Sweet shag all! What about you @Karenista ? Why the interest in our sleep?

@Frownette - surprising thing is I rarely feel sleepy tired and never nap during the day. It’s just very depressing being awake all night every night as much as exciting Mumsnet is!

I hope you can get away from your situation on Monday

About six hours during the week and ten or more at weekends to catch up. It's not ideal.

Generally, unless I'm in pain, I could sleep on a washing line. I get loads of sleep.

9 hours most the time, dependant on dd.
I wake up a couple of times in the night, but usually go back off to sleep quite quickly.
I’m up right now with a teething toddler 😫 we’ve been up an hour so far! Hoping she sleeps in a bit in the morning!

O sleep, O gentle sleep, Nature's soft nurse, how have I frightened thee. That thou no more will weigh my eyelids down, And steep my senses in forgetfulness?

8+ hours.
I need a lot of sleep. I too have been known to sleep 16, like a pp.

5 hours for me is a good night, it can vary between zero and 5 hours. I've got Rheumatoid Arthritis and when that's flared up, I don't sleep.

5:10am I woke up this morning.

After going to bed at 10:00 last night I was still awake when DH got in bed at 11:30pm.

I’m so tired of being tired.

I can't sleep more than 6 hours 15 mins, I just always wake up! So I always feel knackered

I always start waking up at 4 regardless when I've gone to bed. Then I'm properly awake from 4.15/20am

Wish I could get a bit more

@Doggybiccys when I had that little sleep when my baby was newborn I felt like I was losing the plot. Do you struggle to focus etc?

Around 5-6. Newborn is up about 3 times per night. Toddler begins the day at 5ish. I like to be in bed by 9 but rarely achieve it. Its not often that I can't always though.

And to answer op question I go to bed at 9:30pm-10pm and am up at 5-6am. I usually get about 7 hours but would love 8.

• sleep not always

In bed by 10pm, up at 6-6:30am

After nearly a year of DS continually waking up in the night, I’m in bed at 8/9pm - up at 6am. But am awake frequently during the night. Sometimes fall asleep during the day (DS’s nap time).

Not enough!! I need about 9 hours and that's what I used to get before kids.

Now I get about 6.5 broken sleep if I'm lucky (bed at about 10.30, up around 5, usually 1-2 wake ups) hoping it improves as children get older (they are 2 and 6 months) as I'm bloody knackered!

A lot 7-8 if all goes well. Quite often less if something (or someone -DS) wakes me up.

Toddler in bed by 7, work from then until about 10/10.30 (teacher) then toddler awake at 5/5.30ish. DP often gets her up but by that point I’m awake and need a wee.

Summer holidays are better for sleep. Of course no lie ins, but I’ve usually finished my evenings of work by mid August so can get a couple of weeks if going to bed at 9ish.

Asleep by about 11 and awake by 7:30 usually so about 8.5 hours. If I get less than 8 I feel tired. If I get less than 7 I feel shattered. It goes the other way too though and if I sleep more than about 9.5 hours I feel really groggy and lethargic all day.

I average 6 hours a night. Generally 12.30-6.30
I don’t really feel tired but I know I need to sleep more so I am going to start aiming to be asleep by 12 this week, 11.30pm the next etc. I’d like to have 7-8 hours a night.

7.5 hours average. I’ve worked from home for over 20 years so I often nap in the day to top up if necessary. If I’m worried about something I often wake at 4 and struggle to go back to sleep. Eventually I’ll force myself out of bed to make peppermint tea with milk. Sounds gross I know, but that with paracetamol is like switching out a light 😂

Sleep is better now my kids are older and sleep well themselves BUT it's never been the same since having kids.

So working week: in bed 10/10.30 and alarm goes at 6.30. I have a pattern of a few nights where is don't ever feel like I'm properly asleep until 6am followed by a good few nights of great sleep. DH falls asleep really quickly but it takes me longer.
