Some nights I sleep like the dead, other nights not so much.

Well depends on the definition. I fall asleep without issue on most days but I find that I'm generally getting 6-7 hours max. I work all night though so its easy to be awoken during the day.

My hours are very odd. i like to be up at night and sleep during the day. Typically, I Netflix / Prime / TCM until 0400 or so. Hit the sack and dont get up until 1100.

I work nights at my real job. Between the day to day sounds of the world, my 1.5 year old dog, wife's cat, and regularly having to get up and sign for FedEx or UPS deliveries for my FFL, I don't sleep very sound or very long. Haven't for years. You just get used to it. Sometimes, on nights off, I'll sleep all through the night and then some.

I’m usually asleep within a minute of hitting the hay. I drink three large glasses of milk and/or tomato juice before bed, so have to get up during the night for a piss. I usually sleep about seven hours.

Usually asleep when my head hits the pillow but due to being mid-seventies and a misspent youth, I have acky shoulders, back, a hip, and a knee ( do not decide the best way down from a OTR trailer is to just jump). No matter how I lay, something is going to start hurting and I have to shift.
Just another day in paradise.

I fall into my lounge chair around 0300 or so and fairly soon fall asleep watching TV. I'll wake up after 3 to 5 hours for a potty break and then resume in the chair for another 4-6 hours (depending on what day it is--a few days I have to be up before 1000). I also take naps during the day if I need it. (Being fully retired is wonderful. . . .)
I'm another one that works nights. So half the time I sleep 0730-1430 and nights off 0100-0800. Can't remember the last time I didn't get up to pee at least twice in that time period. Getting older sucks.

I fall asleep in 2 or 3 minutes and sleep like the dead. I naturally wake up about 8-8:30 no matter when I go to bed, but my schedule has me up at 5 every day, so when I do get a chance to catch up I’ll sleep a solid 10 hours.
I have a hard time getting to bed before midnight. Usually wake up about 2 or 3 am and lay there awake for an hour with a bathroom break in there somewhere. I rarely sleep past 7 or 7:30. Not great, not terrible.
