How many hours do you sleep ?

[BrianW]

As many hours as it takes.

The beauty of being retired is you can fuck off to bed in the afternoon if you're tired without being sacked.

2…wake….2… wake…2…wake…1. Almost every night :-(

Are you an owl?

Lights out by 10:30 & usually get around 6 hours max though this time of year with the lighter mornings it can be less. Working from home means I can grab an apres-lunch kip as a top-up - seemed to have missed a lot of the Women's world cup games due to this.

Sometimes I toss and turn so much I wake up feeling like a rotisserie chicken. I’m in bed for probably 9hrs. Get about 4hrs proper sleep and 5hrs of 50/50.

That's exactly the same hours as me and I also do the constant tossing and turning.
I don't understand how people can sleep for 8 or 9 hours straight or those who only ever stay lying in the same position all night every night.

Not many, 5/6? I've heard too much sleep is bad for you, if you're sleeping 24 hours a day you might as well be dead.. I love dreaming, that's the best part of being asleep, dreaming about being unable to convert a simple tap in :( all of a sudden my legs don't work, ball is played in, I'm unmarked, i'm galloping in mid air, i'm through on goal, I can't miss, but I just fall over like a fucking idiot, don't even kick it

Another weird thing is a lot of dreams are in the same places that are instantly familiar when I'm there, but not when I wake up.

if i'm struggling to sleep i try to remember previous dreams, past dreams from throughout my life. they seem to be stored somewhere in my memory that i cannot access during the daytime but can easily conjure up in bed if i concentrate.
they start to flow and i can revisit dreamplace after dreamplace one after the other, but the odd thing is, even though the original dreams usually had other people in them when i revisit them i am always alone there.

i'd be doing that right now if it wasn't for the wine-sodden snoring of a certain copperpot.
