After my job became impossible, I would wake up at 3 or 4 in the morning and worry about what was still waiting to do on my desk. I often wouldn't fall back asleep and would just get up and go in early.

After I got my CPAP machine, I got to where I often didn't wake up until I needed to get up.

Now retired, I sleep until something wakes me up and I want to get up. With a little effort on a rainy day I could probably sleep for 12 hours.

I fall asleep fast, have to reposition a couple times and wake at 4:00 no matter when I go to bed.

For as long as I can remember, toss and turn all night. Seems like every 15 mins. Most of the time feeling worse than when I went to bed.

This sleeping straight through stuff must be a myth.

I go to bed between 9 & 10, taking between 15 to 30 mins to fall asleep. I’ll get up once about two or one hour before I have to in order to use the restroom. I hate it because I just toss and turn until the alarm goes off, but I also don’t like sleeping all the way, either. I feel like I need more sleep if that happens.

I sleep like a baby.
I wake every 2 hours screaming.

I don’t see how anyone can be guaranteed a full, complete and undisturbed night of sleep every single time unless they rest in a sensory deprivation chamber. I get 6 or so hours a night and get awakened on random nights for various things...taking a leak, taking the beagles out, storms (or just heavy rain), or just random wake-ups for unknown reasons. Every once in a while I can pull it off if I’m exhausted from something like cutting wood all day.

I'm usually in bed around 11 and always up by 6. I get up at least once, maybe twice to pee. Other than that, I sleep well.

"Depends" is the correct answer.If I'm wearing them, I sleep all night. If not, I get up for the bathroom.

I'm on rotating 8-hr shifts. We rotate to each of the three shifts every 28 days.

I sleep no more than 4 to 4.5 hours a day. Even on my off days. Eventually, it's going to catch up to me and I'm going to die.

It doesn't take me long to fall asleep, but after 4 hours or so, I wake up and can't go back to sleep. Let's see, right now I've been awake about 25 hours. I will be home in maybe 2 hours and will likely fall asleep fast, but I will be awake after 4 hours.

with age, sleep invariably gets fragmented and you lose the important deep sleep of the cycle. and if you're a male, prostate governs a wake up for two - which is where i'm at. i've been using a cpap for going on seven months now, and it's like a road map to how my day went with respect to stress and how many apneas per hour i log that night / next morning.

Depends. I CAN sleep all the way through, but only if one of the dogs doesn't decide he needs to go out and take a crap at 2AM.

Typical night for me and the wifey is to lay down around 8:00 PM. We watch anything streaming for about an hour, I wake up about 4:00 AM, I'm coding by about 5:30 AM, head off to work about 7:00 AM, and it ends by 3:30 PM. My better half is a total night owl. I do give her a hug before I head off to work after sleeping well.

Haven't slept thru the night in a couple years. Last night was a good example. Working 3-11, home and can't get to sleep til about 6 this morning. Awake twice before alarm @ 11:45. Started trying to sleep @ 2.

thanks all for taking the time,

Sleep thru for the most part but my wife, rarely.
She's been taking her CBD Drops for the past 6 weeks and now sleeps right though, and now,so do I...

I wonder if the people who are poor sleepers , are the same ones with problematic tinnitus ?

Up to pee at least 4-5 times a night. Sometimes 8-9.

I go to bed at midnight & get up to go to the bathroom once at about 3 AM, because I drink a beer while catching up on the news & weather on the computer. That gives me a chance to put some more wood in the stove.

When I was younger, I liked to go to bed at 8-9PM and sleep clear through until early in the AM, get up, go to work, and get a lot done before the phone started ringing and coworkers started coming in-sometimes there as early as 4 AM, usually by 6 AM.

But 30 plus years later, life is not so simple. First, I was misdiagnosed with sleep apnea back in the 90s when it seemed everyone bragged about their new CPAP. Never could breathe through that thing very well.

VA ENT found it was not sleep apnea, rather my nose and sinuses were really messed up (I'll spare you all the details) and as I've aged I can't lay down and sleep for long or I have difficulty breathing through my nose.

So, I start in bed around 11-12 with my wife and the dog generally shows up, too. I sleep till 2-3, then get up and move to my recliner in the living room, making an interim stop in the bathroom for a few moments.

I sleep in the recliner till my wife wakes me at whatever time we've decided to get up for the day.

There is usually one bathroom break during the night.
