NWR - How many hours of sleep do you get

on an average i get about 5 hrs on week nights. Lately i am so tired. i get home from work & not motivated to do anything. I wake up about 5:00 am to commute to the city and get home around 5:30.
i usually get a nap on the bus ride home but that seems to make me more tired. i am thinking maybe its my apt. Its a little small & stuffy.

any suggestions..other than go to bed earlier??

i usually wait until my FH leaves for work (works midnight shift)

i hate this cos i have so much to do... wedding stuff.. go to the gym !

maybe i should start drinking red bull ..yuck that stuff taste nasty !!

i guess i'm just getting old

I get about 6-7. I can't sleep longer. Even on the weekends I dont sleep past 9 no matter what time I go to bed.

Maybe try a 15 minute nap during lunch. Make sure it's at least 15 minutes but no longer than 30...

They claim that up to 30 minutes of sleep can feel like a few hours to your brain...but going longer than 30 minutes gets you into the deeper level of sleep and can mess up your internal clock...

Hope this helps!!!!

I also try to catch up on my sleep on the weekends... FH doesn't get home until 9 - so we're BIG time night people...but on weekends - i sleep until 12 or 1 and feel better...

During the week I get about 6 hrs (but not straight through, FH has issues with sleeping through the night) and the weekends I get around 7-8hrs..I can't sleep late anymore!

i wish.. i usually work through my lunch.. i have no problem catching up on the weekends. i get a solid 7/8 hrs on weekends.. i just feel like crap during the week. maybe its stress.. i am also breaking out like crazy too (not that time of month)..
with the wedding, finances, & my FBIL just left for Iraq.

hmm....about 5 i'm an insomniac. I live literally 10-15 mins from my field office so I can sleep until 8am but I can't go to sleep until 3am. I think it's my gig, always thinking of what I have left to do....

Re: NWR - How many hours of sleep do you get

I work nights so when I sleep during the day 2-6 four is nice if I have to go back.

When I'm in school and an assignment is due about 4 a night

But I can easily get 10-12 if I don't have to get up early.

yeah i think i'm going to start reading on the way home. i usually feel so groggy & more tired.. weird thing is that i fall into a deep sleep on the bus.. one of my friends usually wakes me up when we get close to my stop..
