POLL: How many hours do you sleep?
 

Just wondering how many hours you sleep and if this is enough?
thanks Bizi

Does anyone have an average night?
 

Dear Bizi,
My sleep is all over the map -- I don't have an average night.

Last night was 7 hours. But two hours after waking up, I REALLY wanted to go back to bed and could not because of work.


Tonight I will sleep about 6 hours I hope. I have to get up early for work.


I feel like I am several weeks behind in my sleep deficit.

Maybe this weekend you can catch up?:hug:
I slept 4 last night better than none!

Four hours!??
Sorry.
I guess four is better than none -- if you say so. :)

I had about 6 last night and then took a 2 hour nap later.

I think that my klonopin leaves me hung over. I could really use an average of 9 hours.

I sleep between 5 and 7 hours on average during the week. I sleep steadier now for the last 5 months than I have in about 8 years since I started taking Topamax for my migraines. I still feel tired about 5 p.m. and want to nap, if I do nap I still sleep solid. The only thing that really interferes with my sleep are my opiod pain meds, severe pain, or a bf wanting to cuddle while I am trying to sleep.

I get between 7-9 a night depends on when I get the dishes done and hit the hay. I was getting 5-7 before and even that wasn't really restful since I wasn't using my CPAP machine. Anything less then 5 and I can't function well. sometimes I have to get up to take a pain med other times it's fine and I can sleep the night through. :)

I usually sleep 2 hrs at a stretch. (takes me 2 hours to fall asleep, then lay awake for a few hours after I get 2 hours in...)
I refilled a Klonopin script last month and have been getting 4 hours at a time now. Its been really great!
(i usually take an hour nap during the day as well)

this sounds awful.
what about increasing the klonipin dose?
I know what it is like to sit and stare at the clock for 8 hours....no fun at all.

I have tried increasing it, but I end up with massive headaches and hangovers the next morning so it doesn't do me any good. :( The lower dose gives me about 4 hours of solid sleep without the side effects so thats what I do.
