This week is Sleep Awareness Week!
How many hours of sleep do you usually get a night?
I sleep 8 hours on weekdays and too much on weekends. It is difficult for me to wake up early in fact!
It is useful to think about the mechanics of sleep. I've asked myself before why there is a biological need to sleep, and what specific reason exists on why sleep quality isn't quantitive, but cyclical.
@Dylock by cyclical you mean??
Cyclical as in, sleep comes in three cycles.
5 hours
8 hours. Growing up i had ot get up so early because i grew up on a ranch. So there was never any sleeping in
Now that I'm sick with a cold I'm getting upward of 10+ between the night and naps during the day
I get 0 hours of sleep. I have tried everything to help me sleep but nothing has worked. Im back to square one again struggling to get sleep!
@Azzy21 Have you tried valerian root? You can get it witout prescription and it's fairly inexpensive. Other than than prescribed strong sleeping pills if you can't sleep at all. A lot of studies show that the more physical activity you do during the day and exhaust your body, the easier you'll fall asleep as you've spent a lot of energy and you will autmatically need rest.
I havent tried valerian root and I went doctors on Monday and they said that they wouldnt prescribe me Zopiclone as its addictive. So they prescribed me amitriptyline. And so far it has helped me sleep. The dr also said about counselling. Also said that if amitriptyline doesnt work then I need psychological therapy. @VeganFeminist123
And Im doing exercise, Im doing it 3 days a week. But Im gonna try and do it 5 days a week. @VeganFeminist123
@Azzy21 It's true sleeping pills can get addictive, natural remedies are always better options. I hope it works out for you (:
Thank u and I got sleep. The amitriptyline worked. Thanks for the suggestion of valerian root though. 😊 @VeganFeminist123
On a good day I get 10 hours of sleep on a bad day like 2-5
I'm having a really rough time sleeping right now....... I'd say 4-5
I used to have insomnia and slept for 4-6 hours a night for a couple years and started using melatonin, and then I got dependent on had a panic attack if I didn't take 3 per day, then I passed out staying up watching Madagascar 3 and then I realized I didn't need it. Now I have Hypersomnia and sleep for 8-9 hours a night, sometimes naps, but I'm usually just tired and fatigued and close my eyes and nod off a bit in some of my school classes, but yeah I'm always tired now and I can't sleep for over 10 hours even if I take sleep pills :3
6 hours
