Yikes!

Before the accident, I slept 6-8 hours a night, but 8 was ideal for me and I always shot for 8.

In the beginning of having the injury, I was sleeping about 10-12 hours a night for months and sometimes longer. But I remember at one point speaking about it with a speech therapist and my first neurologist.

It must have decreased over time though because when I first started working a year later I ended up sleeping about ten hours a night and thinking it had increased from eight. But after working 12 hours a week for four months it gradually went back down to 8 hours a night.

Then I started working 20 hours a week on Dec 1 and I started sleeping 10-11 hours a night again. I've been working 20 hours a week for a couple of months now and I'm sleeping about 9 hours a night.

I suspect it will continue to decrease until I'm sleeping 8 hours a night.

I plan to increase my work week hours on April 1 at the latest and I wonder if I'll end up sleeping longer again each night.
