By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

As I’m getting older I’m finding I need less sleep.

Average 5 hours a night now no matter what time I go to bed

then my body seems to make up for it and I’ll have 8 hours

I don’t mind but waking up most days at 4:30am is getting boring!

Anyone else in the same boat?

Good god 5 hours??

I need 9 hours at least! I'm always early in bed and sound asleep most nights! (I know - I sound fun at parties don't I?!)

Ha ha! Most of the time it’s ok, I don’t even get tired in the day but sometimes it’s frustrating! Not much to do at 5am especially when it’s dark!

As a perm night contractor I feel your pain, 5 hours is a good sleep, yesterday was 3 hours and probably won't sleep now until around 4am tomorrow. Penny on the other hand gets a solid 7 hours Monday to Friday and 9 hours at weekends. I envy her so much.

I wish I could get 5 solid hours every night! Insomniac since I was a kid, my brain is perpetually wired.

I feel your pain, I don't mind waking at 04.30 in the summer but it's pretty tedious when the dark mornings arrive.

But is suppose that's what fabs for.. Lol

Insomnia sufferers like me don’t get much sleep regardless if I need it, want it or not

I stay in a state of semi-hibernation for 20 hours a day and do what I need to do in the other 4.

Sat here eating toast after a 6 o clock dog walk up and down Martinsel.

Don’t like spending time in bed I could be using for experiences like that.

Depends on the time of year, I wake up as the sun breaks through. Summer is awesome, winter is not so much.

I’m a retired paramedic 40 years of getting up at 0450 and now I still wake up at 0500.

Even if I go to bed late

I get up for work at 6.30 in the week. Even when I lie in I usually wake by 7 and I’ve probably been up 3 times in the night..

I don’t know how you all survive! 8 hours for me. Straight through, no waking. I’d be there for about 15 if I didn’t set alarms. I love sleep

In the west.

I like to get up fairly early but if I have to get up for the loo during the night and can't get back to sleep I generally get up later, probably about 8:30ish.

To overcome that I try not to drink anything after 8pm.

I wake up before 7 in the morning without alarm. That means I have to fall asleep by 11. If not, I still wake up at 7 and my whole day is screwed because of sleep deprivation

I'm the same

I like to wake up, realise I don't have to get up, roll over and go back to sleep
