Definately need more than the 2hrs I got last night....I need at least 6hrs.I love my sleep. Before kids, it was 8....I don't think I could sleep that long anymore! My sleep is always broken now. I get maybe 2-3hrs straight usually. I would give my left foot for 4hrs or more straight sleep a night. My kids are allergic to sleep. My (almost) 2 yr old still wakes at least 2 times every night. DS is usually 3 at least. And we're usually up at 6/6.30 every morning, though joy of all joys (not) lately it's been before 6am. I would also love to be able to have a nanna nap. But DS and DD's sleeps rarely coincide (sp??) and I work in the arvos now anyway, so I don't get them anymore . I used to love a good nanna nap. Occaisionally I can fit one in on a weekend, and DH lets me creep into bed discreetly without a kid attached, oh the bliss, but that's rare now too. I miss sleep.
Well I don't have any kidlets, but seem to be lacking something because am always tired! On the weekends, I often have an hour nap in the afternoon, yesterday I had two hours because I was out late the night before.
Never have been able to sleep during the day.............. which is very sucky cuz i need more sleep!!!!! DS is getting better now he's usally fast asleep round 8 - 8.30 then i go around 9.30 get up for his 2.30 - 3.00 feed the back up again round 6.30 - 7.00........ i think id really love an un broken sleep then id feel on top of everything
I have 1 ds, and when he naps, i nap.. I get about 7-8 hours (broken) a night, but I've always loved my sleep, so need more.. but I think you're health has a lot to do with it - I'm over-weight at the moment, and i think that plays a big part in me feeling tired and lacking of energy most of the time..
I have the odd nana nap if I can, but only if I can't keep my eye's open & DD's are at school & DS sleeping.
I might have one a month. I get 7 - 8 hours sleep most nights, but still find it hard to wake up every morning.
I go to bed around 10.30 - 11 (usually!) & I'm up around 7 - 7.30 most mornings for school. Sometimes earlier.
I feel guilty sleeping & most of the time I find it hard to sleep through the day.
I hardly ever nana nap. About 5 times this last 12 months. I tend to do it when either she or both of us is ill, because she hasn't had a regular nap since she was about 20 months old and if she doesn't sleep then i can't either.
As for how much i need to feel optimal....i don't know, i'll tell you whenever i finally get enough!
