My sleep really depends on the day. I would love to sleep 10 hours but it doesn't happen very often. Usually I get 6-7 hours but it's interruped with bathroom breaks, (sometimes I'll self cath if I'm up every hour or two, that gets me a good 3 to 5 hours straight.)

If I get a hour nap after work I'm up later and the next day I'm tired because of a shorter night. That turns into a big cycle so I try not to do the nap unless I just can't stay awake. When we camp, 10 plus hours is a norm. I have teenaged boys and they always sleep late so my husband and I do too. We have a travel trailer and always run our air so we don't hear much. I love camping. Lots of sleep, good food, family time, and close bathroom and bed so an adult beverage isn't too much of a problem.

I sleep usually for about 8 to 9 hours. I may lay down during the afternoon to rest but I can't fall asleep. In fact, I can not fall asleep natuarally at all. I have been taking ambien for about 6 years now, and I guess I am addicted.

I normally get between 8-10 hours although before I started taking Melatonin I would easily sleep 12 hours on my days off and still feel tired when I finally got out of bed.

I never had a problem going to sleep but I'm up numerous times to go to the bathroom, break up a cat fight, let the dog out etc. so even though I could go right back to sleep my quality of sleep was very poor.

Although I still have the interruptions I think the Melatonin is increasing the good sleep phase. Now on my days off I rarely need more than 9 hours sleep, when I nap it is shorter and more refreshing and when I do wake up even during the night I'm don't feel horribly exhausted like I used to.

Not officially dx'd with anything -- however --

I find I sleep a lot, but I'm very often fatigued. I know full well that it's not good sleep. I do find that if I take something (like an Advil PM or something) I sleep through the night without waking up, without itching and I'm not fatigued (at least for a while). But I can't do that if I can't promise myself at least 10 hours or so.

I sorta hopalong being a bit snoozy all the time. Sucks, but I've grown accustomed.

I try to go to bed, around 10-11. I have to get up around 6am. Get the kids ready for school, and myself to work.

I do, find, every once in a while, I can sleep in, on a Saturday or Sunday, until about 10/11am. When the kids decide they don't feel obligated to wake me up. It was an 8am day, today...through no choice of my own

It might be a good idea to ask you Primary Care Physician for a Sleep Study to check if you have some sort of sleep disorder.

Did this when I was a teenager. At the time, I had a wee bit of sleep apnea if I slept on my back and I would twitch violently every so often to prevent myself from going into REM.

Now, however, I suspect my poor sleeping comes from some neuro damage from being without B12 for so long. I've got pernicious anemia (thusly the monthly injections) and right when I get one, I do sleep much better. When I'm at the end of the month (like I am now), I sleep...less better.

I'm another in the 3-4 hour a night camp. I have a very hard time getting comfortable to get to sleep. Many times I get mad and take Advil PM. I'll often times be just about to sleep then start twitching or itching and wake myself up. Went to bed at 9pm last night and it was well after 3 when I finally settled enough to sleep... and that was after taking Advil PM. I have to wake up at 6-7am because that's when my three little ones get up for the day and Hubby has to get up to leave for work. I try to catch a 1 hour or so nap in the afternoon; but many days it just isn't possible with the kids.
