Right now I'm in a semi-normal sleep pattern. Well, all things considered. I very rarely sleep in my bed anymore

I sleep in my recliner. My combination of egg crate pad, leg pillows, arm rests, etc. keeps me in a position favorable to my various ailments and body parts. I don't drink much water after maybe 5 p.m., so I only get up at night to use the bathroom about once, maybe twice a week.

I have an occasional night where I'm freaked out or have serial nightmares or have an unusually high level of pain, but I usually sleep about 8 hours. I could probably sleep 9, but my bladder will only last 8.

I doze/nap a few times a week. But periodically I have a spell--sometimes a day or two, sometimes several days--when I can just barely keep my eyes open, and I'll take a couple of naps a day.

Back when I was first diagnosed, I could sleep ten hours a night, and most of the week-end. And still be tired all the time.
