Chaotic Coffee Klatch (tea also available)

5h15min actually, and that short isn't not common for me but the shortest night in months

Yes, but still is not a lot. REM cycles are 2.5 hrs (not everyone is the same but close) so 7.5 should be a minimum. 8 is great and 10 is superb . Anything over that is pure decadence

I mentioned in "Talk to us" that my cat and dog playing makes me smile. I have been tryiing to get a pic since yesterday. I did manage a couple of good ones of Groot, my 8 month old kitten.

FWIW, the last time I got 8 hours sleep was after surgery, full of good drugs. That much sleep often brings on a migraine for me. I get 4-5 hours most nights.

I almost never sleep anywhere close to 8 hours. Like this morning. I was exhausted last night, but didn’t get to sleep till at least 12:30 am.
And yet, naturally woke up about 10 minutes ago.
My normal is anywhere from 6-7.5 hours a night

My sleep length varies greatly during the week. Normally the shortest ones are 6,5h. And then a nap during the day. I may even get that 8h next night.

During weekend 10-12h + nap.

9-10h is in a normal case decadence or a sign of needing more sleep than normally, which again may be a sign of some issues.

12:30pm on my clock and 10 minutes ago is close to 14.5 hrs sleep . So for accuracies sake you should just tell us the time slept

Bahaha fair. Time zones. Almost 6.5 hours

 

[Cindy027]

Bahaha fair. Time zones. Almost 6.5 hours

Then at a rough estimate you got 6hrs?

 

[LupineOne]

Correct

 

[Cindy027]

Correct

Yaaaay

 

[B2fromA2looking4U]

Mine sleep duration is 2--3 hours then up to pee and then back to sleep almost instantly for a total of 7.5 hours. I hate my bladder!

Yep, looks like a sheet of ice out there.

@Cindy027 - this is good information. I’ve been in sleep deficit for years (avg 4/4.5 and not coping well) and am finally getting about 6 hours on the usual. Would you know anything about how long it’s takes to undo the damage if ever from sleep deficit!?

Do yourself and your body a favour and see a sleep specialist or start with your GP.

 

[Nicefella]

Thanks and I have and am seeing a sleep specialist. No one seems to be able to explain how to undo the effects of chronic sleep deficit. I will keep looking.

Amen to that!

 

[Trubbycat]

Morning all.

Note to self: wine and whiskey means waking up in front of the tv at 3:15 AM and dragging your sorry ass to bed and waking up very tired.

I never learn.

REM cycles are 2.5 hrs (not everyone is the same but close)

BTW this is not what I've been taught. Sleep cycles are about 1,5h, varying between 70 and 110min (different cycles during the night are of different length)
