The Land Of Nod.

[Harry's Lad]

I have Obstructive Sleep Apnoea which means I stop breathing whilst asleep so use CPAP which has really helped tbh.

 

I've been plagued with cramp for the last few weeks though which interrupts sleep, that and the fact I'm of a certain age and up for a piss 2 or 3 times a night.

 

Shite this getting old lark.

[A Red]

A clear conscience helps. I sleep peacefully.

Nope, I’ve always been a big sleeper, just the way I’m made

Jammy sod.

I get by on 5 - 6 hours but it's nearly always broken.

Apart from the reaction when I had the first Covid jab I don't think I've had 10- 12 hours since my teens.

Tbh I never feel particularly great for it, I don’t feel all refreshed and ready to go or anything, for some reason I just need tons of sleep

You lucky bastard.

Work nights

Generally sleep ok in the winter and shit in the summer months. Don't sleep as well as I used to though. If I'm struggling them storms at sea soundtracks on YouTube help

[KMD7]

Around 7 hours decent kip most nights. 

[M_B]

7 to 8 hours uninterrupted unless I've been drinking in which case I wake up around 4 or 5 with the fear and a raging thirst.

See that....see that Nody?....thats your mums wet dream bit on the side Nody, that is.

Getting to sleep is a piece of piss, nod off quickly. Staying asleep if I am disturbed is an utter bastard though, often occurs when sleeping in the day after a nightshift especially when you have a screamy toddler and a 4 year old. And a ravenous cat that is never full. And a wife that constantly needs to rifle through the wardrobe 15 times a day. And a mind that starts obsessing with trivial shit when I have just woken up.

 

Fucks sake.

Likewise.

 

A week, sadly.

Similar. I did a straight 5.5 hours. Almost unheard of.

 

It’s clear that the answer to a better nights sleep is Liverpool beating City in the unmentionable.

Same old same old for me. Even that didn't work.

I've always slept well, get up about 7:30am for work every day wishing I could stay in bed, weekend comes and I'm up at 7 !! That's what annoys me.

I have a daughter with autism. Sleeping through the night is a distant memory. Four hours if I'm lucky and that's with intermittent waking patterns included in those four hours. Daughter will fall asleep around 9pm after a dose of melatonin a couple of hours earlier, I'll sleep from about 11 and be woken at any time between 2am-3am. Sometimes for an hour and then fall asleep, but usually up for the night then. We may even sometimes (about 20% of the time) go out for a drive around 4am if she's upset, up and down motorways to calm her. I've been known to park up in supermarket car parks for a quick 20 minute nap if she's settled in the back.

 

If we're up through the night and I'm working from home that day I'll fire up the laptop, do what I need to do and use the day to keep an eye on emails and have an hours kip on my dinner hour, but I've been office based solid for the last couple of months, so I'll watch a film or box set on my phone with earphones in while she runs round the house burning off energy.

 

The wife does 12 hour shifts in a hospital, I manage a team in construction/maintenance, so our jobs are pretty full on. Our families don't help out one bit. I'm really fucking tired.

[littletedwest]

I voted have the odd bad night yesterday of course I couldn't sleep last night.

 

I feel terrible if I don't sleep properly. I need 7 hours minimum. My dad used work shifts and he was fine off 4 hours. 

[Pete]

No problem sleeping unless the cats are fucking whinging.

My youngest Grandchild has Downs Syndrome as well as being autistic and I've seen what he's like for sleeping and what it's like for his mum and my lad.

 

My lad's a HGV driver with his shifts starting at various times, with 4:00 AM starts common so his poor mum bears the brunt. 

She's like a zombie sometimes so my missus insists he come here for a couple of hours a day so she can grab a bit of kip.

 

Autistic kids can be a nightmare. I don't envy you one bit.
