I have always been a big proponent to listening to what your body is telling you. If I can’t sleep, I don’t sleep. If I’m not hungry, I don’t eat, so on and so on. I think the main issue here is to get enough sleep when you can, especially in today’s society, where it seems the term rest is for the wicked has become the mantra. I for one have always been a fan for the good old fashion nap.

I found 20 years ago that getting 9 hrs was a must, but I perfer to get somewhere around 6-7 hours of sleep if I’m in bed by 11pm. I tend to feel much better then if I get anymore than that. I do this on weekends also and stay often to my wife that if the suns up I need to be up. I hate wasting a day.

Anyone else feel like they are missing out on the day if their not up at first night? Please share your thoughts. Thx

Right now, with a 9 day old baby, 3-4 hours of sleep at a time is a miracle. Normally though I’m a 7 hour girl.

Oh goodness. I think I over-slept this summer–my hubs didn’t have class until noon and would let me sleep in. But during the school year, i get 7 to 8 hours. Thanks for posting this info–its really intriguing!

I love sleep and love not waking up to an alarm but school is starting here in a couple weeks and my oldest now has to catch his bus at 6:48am, yikes!

I need more sleep than a lot of people I know. I really don’t feel well rested unless I get 8.5-9.5 hours of sleep.

Before I had kids, I would have said 8 hours, for sure. I used to complain about only getting 7, and then I was grumpy by Friday. My how things have changed! Three kids later, I would definitely say 6 is not enough. So, somewhere in between 6 and 8. Baby number three is (I think) starting to sleep through the night. So, possibly now I can retrain my body to actually expect uninterrupted sleep. Or, I might just be getting ahead of myself . . . :)
