Do you SLEEP too damn much?

I sleep a lot, it seems to me more than newborns! I have 3 daytime sleep for an hour and 1 night 9 hours
 

I get up early....4:00 am and never nap but I do go to bed early due to boredom...so I’d say I sleep about 8-10 hrs a day.

Just wish my night time sleep was uninterrupted but it’s not.
 

I'm a night owl, but I always get at least 8-10 hours of solid sleep...But when I'm awake I'm a very active guy...I exercise, workout, ride a motorcycle, build things in the woods, cut and split firewood, etc.
 
Now that I'm retired I don't think there is anything as too much sleep..Makin' up for all the years I didn't get mine.

I can go on 5 or 6 but I'll take whatever I get..even if on the couch in front of the TV...
 
To be honest I don't remember the last time I slept through the night. I'll fall asleep and then almost every half hour I wake up,and it takes me forever to fall back asleep. I also have trouble taking a nap except for today. I took a nap this afternoon and slept for almost an hour . I'm still awake now and it's 11:30pm where I live. In about an hour I'll try to get some sleep. I think it would be wonderful to sleep a couple of hours before waking up.
 
Cocoa laced with a drop of 12 year old malt is a good remedy.
Of course, it doesn't always work, but you have fun if you have 5 or 6, then you start Cossack dancing round the kitchen and flake out with exhaustion.


I should charge for this prescription.......:hatlaugh1:
 
Naps are recommended for good health. I probably don't sleep enough since my sleep patterns are erratic and I get up before dawn. Actually I think most of my sleeping is via naps, not the good solid 7 - 8 hours a night that sleep experts say we need. Don't they have any exercise programs in the facility? And if so, do you or are you able to take part? That way at least there's balance in your daily regimen.
 
Switch the TV on, find something to do with politics, within a few minutes you'll be yawning......it works for me.....:D
 
I used to sleep more and was okay with that but anymore I am so tired and can't sleep much of the time. I sleep for about 2 to 3 hours and wake up and can't fall back to sleep. Then I drink coffee to wake up and then can't sleep. Maybe I should lay off the coffee.

My Man!! Good on ya Gary!!!
 
I sleep on and off during the night. Much of the problem has to do with me nodding off in the recliner in the evening and reading into the wee hours of the morning. Years ago I would take a quick nap in the afternoon on Saturday and Sunday but since I'm retired I haven't been able to fall asleep during the day. I still get about 8 hours of sleep because I just sleep later in the morning.
If I really want a good nights sleep and get up at a reasonable hour in the morning I take my beloved Ambien. I'm probably addicted by now but I don't care it works for me, no side affects or hangover in the morning and it helps with my achy knees. I can't even take a tylonal without it upsetting my stomach so I thnk it is the lesser of two evils.

Hahaha Great sense of humor....
 
On the weekends wifey and I have our afternoon nap time and we both love it. We're both looking forward to retirement so we can nap everyday. :D
 
I am up and down like a yo yo. Between bathroom visits and the fact that Callie sleeps with me and is also up and down
several times during the night, I am lucky if I sleep 5 or 6 hours. I do nap in the afternoon for about 45 mins.
