Re: How much sleep? - January 25th 2022, 12:52 AM

I always have the best of intentions on worknights to get at least 8 hours of sleep, but often that ends up being more like 6 or 6.5. I'd say on average though, I get between 6.5 - 8 hours of sleep.
I do take naps often though, when I can, as my chronic pain/illness make me fatigued most of the time (I like to call myself perpetually sleepy).

My like *ideal* wake up feeling mostly awake and refreshed is about 8.5 - 9 hours but that's few and far between.

When I can't sleep, it depends. Often I just stay laying in bed - which I know is the opposite of what you're supposed to do but I also know myself and if I get up and do anything I will absolutely not go back to bed and then all of a sudden it's 6:30 am and I have to get ready for work. Sometimes I'll read or play a soothing game on my phone or do some breathing exercises/meditations.
