Your Sleeping Habits

[sapphireswan]

Before I start this I have narcolepsy so my answers might be pretty severe

1. How often do you think you sleep every night/day?Before I was diagnosed 18-21 hours a day. Now I sleep 8-10 hours

2. What time do you usually try to go to sleep? By 10:00 at night.

3. Do you sleep during the day or the night?Night.

4. Do you have any things you absolutely need to do before going to sleep and when you wake up?Just regular before bed routine. Brush teeth and floss teeth, lotion, etc...

5. How were your sleep patterns as a child before becoming a teenager?They were normal 8-9 hours of sleep at night. Maybe a hour nap here and there.

6. How were your sleep patterns as a teenager?Really bad. I started sleeping more and more, and couldn't help it. By the time I was 15 I was sleeping more than 15 hours a day.

7. How were your sleep patterns as a young adult?*I was diagnosed at 18 so I have gotten better to the point of being 'normal' though I am still tired (Not sleepy) all the time.

8. How were your sleep patterns as a middle aged adult?*

9. How are your sleep patterns now?8-10 hours a night. Maybe a hour nap here and there. Just like when I was a kid.

10. What kind of bed do you sleep on? (i.e. brand, firm/softness, pillows or whatnot, ect)I am not sure about the brand. It is a firm mattress with lots of pillows (7)

11. Do you have to sleep in a certain position?On my sides, but my blanket always has to be touching my chin (I have no idea why)

12. How well do you normally sleep?Very well.

13. What things do you do when you get up after sleeping?I groan because I do not want to get up. I then stretch for a long time (I think it's just a way of procrastinating )

1. How often do you think you sleep every night/day? Generally once in a 24-hour period. I rarely nap.

2. What time do you usually try to go to sleep? When I am unemployed (like I am now), I turn into a total nocturnal person. I really dislike being on a daytime schedule. When I am free to keep to my own body clock, I usually go to bed around 5 or 6 AM.

3. Do you sleep during the day or the night? Day.

4. Do you have any things you absolutely need to do before going to sleep and when you wake up? Other than going pee right after I wake up, no. LOL.

5. How were your sleep patterns as a child before becoming a teenager? I had a sleep disorder when I was a kid. I would be so deeply asleep that it would take my mom roughly an hour of physical stimuli (tickling, shaking, etc. Nothing mean, lol) before I would wake up,. I had the absolutely loudest alarm clock ever (it hurt my ears if I ever heard it when I was awake), and even that never worked for me. Other than that, I had a pretty normal sleep habit -- slept about 9 or 10 hours a night, which is fine for a kid.

6. How were your sleep patterns as a teenager? Pretty typical for a teen -- stayed up as long as I could, got maybe 4 or 5 hours of sleep a night.

7. How were your sleep patterns as a young adult?* They carried over from my teen years -- maybe 5 or 6 hours per night. Looks like I sleep more when I don't have work, though, since I am actually getting 7 or 8 hours per rest period now. Feels good, man.

8. How were your sleep patterns as a middle aged adult?* NA

9. How are your sleep patterns now? More normal than they've ever been, except for the times I choose to sleep and awake.

10. What kind of bed do you sleep on? (i.e. brand, firm/softness, pillows or whatnot, ect) I don't know the brand, it's of medium firmness, and I use a lot of pillows. I have a joint problem, and if I don't prop my top half up at night, my back absolutely kills me in the morning.

11. Do you have to sleep in a certain position? I always have to sleep on my side. My back and knees won't allow me to sleep on my back or stomach. I don't have a preference between which side I sleep on.

12. How well do you normally sleep? Usually quite well, unless joint pain wakes me in the night when I move.

13. What things do you do when you get up after sleeping? Shower and clean myself up, grab a bite, go online.

[mandalorianlady]

i sleep about 4_6 hours a night, less if i am stressed. i take a 45 minute nap during girl's naptime when i need to.

i try to get to sleep between 10:30, 11p.m.

i have to brush my teeth before i go to bed at night. when i first wake up i just sit up stretch and figure what i have to do for the day then i get going.

as a kid my bed time was 8 or 9 p.m. as a teenager i tended to keep those same times until the holidays then i would stay up all night reading or doing stuff with, friends and family. after i was out of school i tended to stay up past 12 am.

middle age -lol- i sleep about four or six hours, less if i am stressed.

i sleep on a medium firm mattress, winter sheets flannel, summer sheets are coton-nylon mix, i sleep best with sound of my fan going. i sleep on my side or stomach most nights.

i figure if i sleep and no nightmares it is a good night.

house chores play with kids etc, once breakfast has been eatten.

1. How often do you think you sleep every night/day?
Weekdays I sleep about 7 hours. It's not enough, I need about 9 hours, but life refuses to allow me to get that much. Weekends about 10-11 hours, depending on how much sleep I actually got on the weekdays.

10:30-11pm. I've tried earlier than that. I end up laying in my bed wide awake until 10:30.

3. Do you sleep during the day or the night?
On weekdays, night. Weekends, day. I am a night owl, I prefer to stay awake until 4am, and wake up at 2-3pm. But school doesn't like these sleeping hours, and I have to adjust during the week.

4. Do you have any things you absolutely need to do before going to sleep and when you wake up?
Feeding animals and doing regular maintenance/care for them.
