Would you skip to the next day if you could or is it the highlight of your day?

I always look forward to sleeping, however right from being in my teens, I've not been able to sleep for longer than 6 hours.

Also once awake, no way can I drop off to sleep again.

Proper sleep is very important for health both physical and mental

Sleep is for the weak? never heard of that how ridiculous

Can you drop off to sleep after you wake Kazanne.

I often wish I could but no way, once awake, I've had it just have to get up.

Mind you with my Staffie that's very easy to do.:joker:

I used to be a skilled sleeper :laugh: Able to sleep 12 hours straight anywhere whilst bombs went off around me. Now, I get around 5-6hours a night and like Joey, the minute I open my eyes, that's it I'm up. I think its down to my son being a terrible sleeper when he was little. He now sleeps like a teenager and I've turned into my mum moaning about how late he sleeps when he's not in school.

I love sleep. I love the sensation of getting cosy under a quilt, your head hitting the pillow and I have so many interesting dreams that I look forward to seeing what my brain comes up with next

When my sleep pattern is steady (which it is ATM) , then I always look forward to rest and a good night's sleep.

As ridiculous as it might be it's a common expression.

I love sleep. I love the sensation of getting cosy under a quilt, your head hitting the pillow and I have so many interesting dreams that I look forward to seeing what my brain comes up with next

I used to have that dreams mindset in mind when it came to sleep but it's only very rarely that I actually remember my dreams (just like most people) so I'm not even consciously aware of my dreaming experiences 99% of the time.

Sleeping is my favourite

How much would you sleep in an ideal world?

How much would you sleep in an ideal world?

9 hours a night would be my ideal but during the week when I have to get up early I usually get 7 and a half hours on average

Gotcha. Doing night shifts works for me in the sense that I always get a sense of satisfaction from being able to retreat into bed for a couple of hours when everyone else is bracing themselves for rush hour. Especially during the autumn/winter months.

I think I hit a record for straight sleep after one of those shifts (a whole 12 hours). It was weird waking up at 2am the next day but I never felt more rested and recharged.

I’m so good at sleeping that I can do it with my eyes closed.

Is that why you proposed a six-day working week the other time?

Sometimes I can doze of for 10mins or so Joey,but not sleep properly, like you I have a dog ,and a cat that need attention, besides hubby and kids :joker:

Yeah, I need it - not the same person without my sleep. I’m such a light sleeper too so that doesn’t help

Do you nap during the day where you can?

I love my bed.
Stay in it as long as I can, I sleep for a couple of hours at a time but I normally nod back off again.
If there is nothing happening I stay in bed until 10 ish. I like an afternoon nap for 3-4 hours as well.:blush:

No if I nap during the day, I can't sleep at night and I hate that :oh:

I have a nap on the weekend during the day sometimes, I love a good nap

Ditto. But then I'm a night worker so days kind of are my nights anyway.

Unless I’m extremely exhausted or really ill, I struggle to tbh

I do but usually if I ever nap it's when my fiancé is having a nap too, I find it easier to nap when he's with me.

I love sleeping, but cant do it well these days as have much pain. Mind, despite loving sleep, I often go whole nights without it, when it gets to like 5am and am still up..I would feel worse for sleeping for the 2 hours, tha just staying up til next night. People who 'power nap' are so odd to me as it makes me feel dreadful! :laugh:

I have always been lucky with my sleep...Once my head hits the pillow I am off and can sleep for 9 hours without a problem. :dance:

I look forward to sleeping but sometimes I struggle. I don’t enjoy napping during the daytime, no matter how tired I feel I will try and stay awake until it’s a good time to go to bed.

I can power nap if I'm just a little tired and it will recharge me nicely. But if I've missed a whole night's sleep then it's the worst thing and can leave you so groggy.

I struggle to get to sleep ... thankfully I don’t seem to need much sleep as I never get more than 5 hours any night - and that is disturbed at least once sometimes twice .

It clearly goes back to when I was a baby needing milk every two hours throughout the night ..

Ah... yes I do have the occasional 20 minutes power nap ... fabulous !
