dlsafrica Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 My standard immediate response to this has sometimes been "with my eyes closed", although my brother once informed me that I sometimes sleep with one eye open... But that's not what I mean... Are you a light sleeper? A heavy sleeper? Etc? Personally, and this has been the case since at least 1987, I have tended to sleep no more than 7 hours a night. Sure, that was back when I was at school, and things have changed a bit. Lately (maybe the last twenty or certainly fifteen years) I have needed no more than five hours normally. I do have the occasional once in a few months when I will sleep a broken ten to, in one case, twelve hours -- but generally it's around five and a half. The longest bout of sleep I had was in 2014 or 2015 when I was incredibly ill with a cold (I wouldn't call it flu -- and the thing is that I don't get sick... so when I do it's bad). On that occasion I slept I think about 60 out of 65 hours between 8PM on Tuesday night and 1PM on Friday afternoon. Link to comment
Apache Raccoon Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Go to bed around 1am wake up around 9:30/10am or so: I’m a heavy sleeper and sleep on my tummy with one arm under the pillow Link to comment
Txdiapered Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Sleep? What is that. I have insomnia and only sleep 3-4 hours a day, somtimes less. It really sucks. Tried every medication and method but no luck. Been 10 years since I slept for 8 hours except for when having surgery. That’s some good sleep till you wake up. I tend to sleep fairly deep when I do sleep. Link to comment
Rockies Fan in Diapers Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Sleep Varies for me actually quite a bit, not because of physical issues but I have like an overactive brain that often won't shut off & stop overthinking that makes sleep difficult. When I sleep, I usually sleep deeply & I love when I do, & when I get less than 8 hours or an interrupted sleep, I am a grouch the next day. Link to comment
Warmwetandcozy Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I usually sleep in almost a coma provided I feel slightly chilled but if it ever rises above 67 degrees US I will wake up instantly and be fairly pissed off thank god my girlfriend also likes to sleep chilled or else we would both be miserable at night I also like to be held and cradled by my girlfriend while wearing a diaper Link to comment
sonofninasayers Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I normally settle down about 10 to half past 10 and wake up about half past 7 to 8am. But sometimes I wake up in the early hours of the morning which is normally between 4am and 5am. When I wake in the early hours I sometimes find it hard to get back to sleep and I find myself getting tired throughout the day Link to comment
Cute_Kitten Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I'm a fairly heavy sleeper. On vacation/ days off I usually go to bed between 12-1 am and wake up 7:30-8:30 am. During work week, I go to bed between 10-11 and wake up at 5. Link to comment
beallucanb Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 The only way I can sleep is with background noise, I need to have low level sound to block the ringing Tinnitus noise. Movies that play all night without commercials works the best. I also have an injured leg that needs to be heated, if my foot is cold I have trouble falling asleep, I attached a heating pad to a bed pillow with safety pins. Over the heating pad I have an old folded bath towel to keep it from burning the bottom of my foot. Before I made the heated pillow it would take hours to get the pillow warm enough to start to heat my foot. My last trick is my thick footed sleeper, before I had my latest one, I wore at least 2 sleepers, I get so cold when I am motionless, always have. Link to comment
baby-dandan Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 I sometimes have trouble falling asleep but when do doze off I tend to sleep very heavily. When I wear a diaper to bed (which is pretty much every night now) I get a very restful sleep and wake up feeling very refreshed! For a while now, I have been having to wake up at 5:30 to get ready to go to my therapy appointment at 7 a.m. My psychiatrist only works until 3 p.m. on weekdays and usually all the other times are filled up. It fills good to get up and start my day early and I can always take a nap in the afternoon. Some days I am scheduled to be the first courtesy clerk at the grocery store at 8:30 a.m. which makes it quite a long day. Link to comment
Smash-N-Dash Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 For the most part, I am a sound sleeper. I’m normally in bed between 10-11 pm and up by 6 am on weekdays. Weekends can skew a few hours either way, but I can’t sleep in past 9 am unless I was up until some wee hour in the morning. For the most part, I sleep on my side, though I am a back sleeper at times as well. I will fully admit that sleeping with something in my arms helps a lot. When I was with my ex, I’d always lay with one arm over her, but being single, a big ol’ plushie works out just as well. Link to comment
DiaperboyEddie12 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I sleep for like 8 - 10 hours a night. start around 1 am til like 10 or 11 am then get up and be part of the world. Now for sleeping depending on the night, I can sleep in a deep sleep and then there are nights I toss and turn. Link to comment
Newbee Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Back when I was at school I could easily sleep 8-10 hours a night but these days I get around 5 hours a night although one day last week I got 7 hours that was good Link to comment
LittleAmytheil Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I don't get as much sleep as I should (Average 6-7 hours according to my sleep tracker) but I sleep like a rock. The world could end, and I'd still be asleep. On top of that, I could also sleep anywhere. Link to comment
