How much sleep now that you are retired do you try to get every day ?

Same here Pinky: I suffer with what is known as An Ear Worm. Once I get a tune in my head, I just keep humming it or a certain beat it goes on for ages in my head.

Have you tried chewing gum?

I never really think about how much sleep I get or need. I'm guessing about 7 hours maybe even 6 I'm not sure I'd like to be up and out of bed at least by 8:00 AM If not earlier. I just don't think about it that much.

Most nights, 8-9 hours, but some nights I toss and turn, and only get 4-5. No matter how little sleep I get, I cannot take daytime naps or I wake up from those in a very bad mood.

Oh, I know what you mean about naps! They also make me feel cranky, confused and miserable so I avoid them.

I often have to force myself from going over past scenarios when I lay down to sleep .. not so easy to do.

Thanks @Twostep ! I'm convinced.

About 7 hours at night, plus a short daytime nap, usually an hour or less.

I seem to always have some tune or other going in my head. If it gets annoying, I get rid of it by playing a CD of some other music, or asking Alexa to play something else. It always works.

When we were working - 8 hours per night. Now, we get about 9 or 10. For me regardless, I get up once or twice to go to the bathroom.

no idea just sleep when I want to day or night - I have a wide choice - often up at midnight watching tv

I am actually nocturnal but last few months due to plumbing jobs and other nonsense have gone to bed like 8 or 9 pm , tomorrow get up at 7 am to be at Doctors check up by 10 am so going to bed at 7 pm today . I can fall asleep at will .

When I no longer do anymore plumbing plan to be up all night watching tv and sleep during day in fact a friend bought a food truck and his permit hours are 4 pm to 10 pm Fri / Sat / Sun so if work for him will go back to being nocturnal as best tv then .
