Do you get 6 to 8 good hours of it. I do not. It's frustrating.

Usually about 4, then I wake up to pee, and can't go back to sleep.

At least 7 and most nights about 8. My hunting buddy is in your boat. He has done a sleep study and he has apnea. He has tried a mask but is struggling with that. I'd suggest a sleep study and go from there.

We dont all need the same amount of sleep. Most I get is 5-6 and can get by on 4. One of the reasons I hate hours of service for truck drivers. 10 is not enough for a lot of people. if you can't sleep at all find somebody still putting up square bales. Spend a few days bucking bales. You will sleep.

Yes I do.My head hits the pillow I'm out.

I sleep like a teenager.

last night was 8 with one pee break

a lot more often it is 6-7 not because of any inability to sleep ,but because I have to get up for work or just out of time.

I am typically falling asleep sitting up right before I go to bed my wife is not a morning person and I could go to bed at 9 every night and get up at 5



some things to try for sleeping better

kill the sugar.
no coffee/caffeine 8 hours before bed
get outside and get work in , firewood , hunting , at least a walk. something to get some physical movement in.
eat 2 hours or more before you need to sleep and don't over eat.
no tv or screens for 90 minutes before bed. screens keep your mind going and processing moving and blue light.
schedule 8 hours with a 90 minute wind down.
at that 90 minutes reduce to a lamp , music calm music , fire
keep a note pad handy for thoughts that pop into your head , if you write them down they don't have to occupy space in your thought all night.

if you sleep with a partner , try a few nights without them.
separate beds can make a difference if you keep each other up or she moves and rolls and that keeps waking you up.
my wife and I sleep better in separate beds

when I'm working ( typically 16hr shifts) I usually have 4 hrs or so when I set the alarm. typically that's 85% of my life. On days off and I'm home and have more time to sleep I may think I'm going to sleep in and I guess I do but normally that's 6 hrs.

One of the hardest things and getting harder it seems each year is when I'm up 36 to 38 hrs strait usually about once a month. That when I get off a 16 hr night shift then head home on my last day of that work period. I tend to stay up all day and do things at the farm and with the kids after my 2.5 hr drive home. BUT at bed time for everyone instead of falling asleep I'm wide awake tell 2 or 3 in the morning. Used to be no big deal but as I get older it takes me a few days to recover and feel back to normal.

Now my wife can't function on less than 7 to 9 hrs.

knockout gummies
20mg melatonin
1 motion sickness tab
1 Tylenol PM
1 ginger root tab

7 to 9 hours
Coffee asap

melatonin keeps me up at night. If you cant sleep take two benadryl.

I sleep poorly. Taking CBD makes me sleep better. I usually take 105mg to 210mg of CBD. When taking CBD, in larger doses, I sometimes get my photographic memory back and can recite entire adult science fiction and fantasy books, page by page, that I read as a small child. I lost my eidetic memory when I was in my teens after having bad smoke inhalation. CBD must reconnect something.

Sleep, exercise, and diet are the three pillars of good health, and sleep is the one that most often gets overlooked. I aim for 8 hours on work nights, 10 on weekends. Having 2 dogs that want to lay next to me interrupts sleep.

Ran the chainsaw for 3 hours straight yesterday. Slept like a log

Usually sleep about seven hours or so. For as long as I can remember, I get up every night at least once to do a walk through the house. Look around outside, sniff for smoke, check doors and windows, check on children when we had some still at home. Old habit.

Bed at 20:00 to read. Sleep at 21:00. Wake at 0130 Get up at 0200. 4.5 hours sleep. Been that way for 40 years. Hate it. Used to go to office and get paperwork done always at 3:00 a.m. To field at 07:30.

Jack

6-8 every night. Lost some weight recently and sleep better and snore less

As long as not overly stressed and stay away from alcohol i can get 7 and sometimes 8 full hours. Weekdays im usually in bed by 9 and asleep shortly after. Up without alarm 5:20 or 5:50 depending on days i lift before work. Downside is i need my slèep. I dont do well with less than7 hours.

~7 hours a night. I hit the pillow and out like a light wake up once don't have to go to bathroom just need to move some and than sleep till 430 or 500.

2 to 3 hours a night. I wake up every 15 minutes. I been a insomniac most of my life. Take melatonin every evening or wouldn't even get that much sleep. Benadryl works but continued use every day will give me nose bleeds.
Bourbon works better than anything for me but I've grown away from drinking mass quantities of liquor the last 15 years.

5:00-11:15 then 17:00-21-15 is about my average on the boat
