Age really sucks.............20 years ago when I got over here I would get off work at 1700, hit the mess hall, shower, get on the bus and be at the 1st bar at 1900, go thru the gauntlet and close the last one up at 0300. Catch a ride back to the barracks with the MP's, sleep a couple hours, get up at 0600, PT, breakfast, work and start the routine over again every day except monday and would catch a little sleep on the weekends but not much because beer gardens were open.......

Now, a 12 hour night shift has me sleeping at least 6 hours afterwards. Came home this morning and finished mowing some hay, tedded, filled (and filling) water tanks for the horses which just happened to have 3 empty on the same day.......... Came home at 0700 and it's 1530 now and I'm cranky as a baby with a full diaper...............
 
Not enough . I work third shift 11:00 P.M. - 7:20 A.M. , eight hour shift . Then come in and work around the house for a couple of hours . I'm usually in bed by 2:00 P.M. and up at 9:00 P.M. I don't sleep as good during the day as I do during the night . As I get older it gets worse . But all in all , I sleep better now than I did on our 12 shifts .

Last night, not enough. Usually 8 or 9 hours. I usually am in bed by 10 pm, up at 6 or 7.
 
It varies.I'm not on a schedule and don't set the clock.
i hit the hay at 1-1,30 am and get up at 6-7-or 8 am. in winter it can be 10 am before i crawl out
 
Usually about 7.
Asleep by 10 and up by 5. Rarely do I wake up and roll back over. I wake up and am instantly out of bed.
I am a serious napper though. Come home about 5 pm and take a 20 minute snooze. Wake up with the batteries fully recharged and ready to do something around the place. Got a scroungy old day bed in the basement that I nap on. Don't care if I'm dirty or sweaty, don't even take my clothes off - just lay back and it's lights out.
Generally fall asleep pretty fast. Rarely awake more than a minute or two after my head hits the pillow.
 
Workdays about 6, weekends about 8. On weekends I'm getting too much, as my back is sore when I get up after 8 hours. Doesn't hurt near as bad after 6 hours. I need to switch to 6 hours sleep and a couple naps, I guess.
 
I've averaged about 6 hours a night for the last 20 years. Last night with a 4 month old baby and a hail storm I got about 4 hours.
 
It really depends on the night/ where I am. When Im at college,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday I go through the "gauntlet", go to bed
around 5am, friday morning up at 7. Saturday/ sunday morning
wake up at 12. Sunday-wends go to bed by 12 at the latest and up
at 7:30 for 8am class.

Summer when im working. In bed by 10 at the latest, Up by 7.

lately however. Ive been getting 4 hours of sleep tops. Its been
miserable
 
About 7 hrs of sometimes interrupted sleep----have not had to set an alarm clock for over 30 years....wake up between 4:00 and 5:00 every day, regardless of when I get to sleep...

Weekends I have no problem taking a nap, doesn"t make a difference where I am as long as I am sitting down or laying down...ready to go to sleep at 9:30-10:00 at night.

I just listened to a speaker on stress management who said only 4% of the population can get by on less than 6 hours of sleep and still maintain decent health...

Gotta go----got tired from all this typing..

Usually about 5 or 6. Last night about 4 as I got up at 5 and got one tank full sprayed before it got windy. Have not slept completely through the nite for 13 years.
 
Flying: I experienced that for some years before I submitted to a sleep study and confirmed sleep apnea. Since I've been using the V-pap machine, I don't even get up to pee. It used to be several times a night - now almost never. If you never really fall asleep and stay in the shallow part of it, you're probably going to suffer other effects than just short of rest. The technician said that she was about to come and rouse me once because I stopped breathing for 72 seconds. I'd urge you to get an appointment - now!
 
Any more about 6-7 .Our little dog Clea who is half chihoohoo and pug has started this thing of about every 2 hours of coming into my room and just sitting there staring at me until I awake and lift her onto the bed to settle down beside me. In less than 10 minutes up she goes and away to the wifes room and goes thru the same routine again in there except after interrupting the wifes sleep she gets in her own bed and spends a couple of hours asleep. Then about 2 hours later here she comes.I think she is afraid of the night time noises she hears although we are not bothered by them,only her constant wanderings bother us.We can not figure out what to do. I put her in a room by her self one night and she moaned all night.Never barkes or raised any kind of a ruckus ,just moans.You don't think she hears and see's things we don't like ,Ghosts, do you?.
 
try to be in bed between 10 and 11 and up at 3:30 during the week.
Weekends I try to get a little more, but seem to have the problem of
back pain when I sleep longer.
 
Ideally I need 8 hours. Don't even need an alarm
clock. I will wake up 8 hours later. Less than 7 or
so hours and I'm really feeling it later in the day.
More than about 8:15 and I feel sick like I slept
too much.

When working at the mine, I get 6 or 6 1/2 hours most nights; some days are hard not to find a quiet spot for a 20 minute catnap.
When at home it's 7 or 8 hours, if my wife lets me.

Me too................ Went to the doc for the annual inspection and he had be breath on a lung tester. Wasn't satisfied and sent me to a lung specialist who couldn't find anything after xrays, etc. He asked me a couple of questions like if I dosed off while driving, watching TV, or just setting around and how quick I got tired or winded. Answer was yes all and pretty quick. Sent me to a sleep lab, got a pump and had almost instant turn around on everything. Usually go to sleep once and wake up once and am rested afterwards.
 
As a young guy, I could lay there in deep sleep until about 1230 pm, but today, I almost always get up at around 5am first just to take a leak, and after that,.I find myself rolling around until about 7 and unable to sleep any longer due to pain and numbing of my hands and arms.
