How long do you sleep at one time?

[Zeb_Carter]

See, if I fall off at 5 or 6 PM, I'm usually wide awake around midnight or 1AM. Then it's a royal bitch to fall off again before daylight. Sometimes I can, but not always.

Yeah, but I'm retired so it doesn't matter for me.

On a good night I'll get roughly 7 hours of sleep. On those others, it depends. If the senior citizens are out with their grandkids until 10 - 10:30 PM or, as happened this morning, the asshat with the shitty Harley decides to go out at 2 AM and deliberately gun the engine, far less.

Please leave me alone.

4-10 hrs, although I have slept longer and shorter. I used to sleep straight through one weekend a month when I was younger and travelled a lot.

A solid uninterrupted 5.5 hours. I feel great! Or I'm channelling Tony the Tiger.

"Bastard Napper" would make a most excellent tagline beneath your userid on the left. Just sayin'!

Speaking of long naps. 18 hours and 13 minutes sure was a long one. You must be groggy, big fella. I'll give you some time to get your feet under you and "catch up" on what you "missed."

A good 7.5 a night, seems perfect to me.

I think a random number generator somewhere decides for me
If anyone spots it and the batshit crazy despot in control, please kill the despot and set it to 8hrs.

Everybody knows that chronic sleep medications end up being detrimental.
One doesn't need to be a rocket scientist to realize that.
I'm just flabbergasted by the "Ode to the greatness of chronic sleep or pain medications" type of posts that I often come across on the GB.
Wtf are you guys thinking ?

Thank you Dr Hashetc. Actually it's posters like you that upset our sleep cycles and keep us awake plotting ways to eliminate you legally. As a retired brain sturgeon and rocket scientist from Cape Carnival I speak from experience.

I sleep the whole time I'm asleep.

Usually I do that. But the real problem I'm not actually asleep when I sleep.

It happens to all old men, I wouldn't worry if I were you.

Okay here's the facts. Way back when I actually had a job I got up at 3AM and often worked till 4PM. I slept 5 to 6 hours sound.
Now I mostly sit on my ass and don't excercise. The lack of movement and age means us old farts don't sleep because we don't get physically tired, only mentally tired.
Old age = less sleep. Old age = seeing your past before your eyes while trying to sleep. Which equals no sleep and tired all day long.
If I take a prescribed sleeping pill after an hour I may sleep 3 to 4 hours. The rest of the nite I toss and turn, dream stupid shit, and go pee............ then repeat.
