I take pills to help sometimes but I still wake up in the middle of the night and can't fall back asleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162889 Fri, 18 May 2012 12:02:17 +0000 Sophia 162889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Great, thank you!

I've been interested in getting one, but I've had a hard time comparing different devices. </p> <p>I think I average around 6 hours of sleep a night during the week, a few more on weekends. We don't have children yet, so that makes it a LOT easier! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162865 Fri, 18 May 2012 11:29:02 +0000 banana 162865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I sleep from 11:30p -7:30a. My husband gets him in the morning so that I can sleep in. But that's only cause my LO is 2 yrs old and sleeps through the night. When he was younger, I would get maaaayyyybe 5 hours. ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162832 Fri, 18 May 2012 11:05:02 +0000 Mama2Cakes 162832@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We Co-Sleep with our 2 year old, and consistently get between 7-9 hours of sleep every night. It is usually interuppted around 12 and 5 am. But he goes back to sleep extremelly quickly, and so do we. LOVE co-sleeping. In fact, the nights he sleeps in his own bed, which have been 3 so far, we don'e sleep as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162793 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:43:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 162793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: He's had so many interviews. It's been going really well, but we don't have any offers (yet). This one is important because it is likely to pay the highest if he gets it, so it will be a great negotiating tool for other offers. Keep your fingers crossed. I think this will be good for our family! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162790 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:41:04 +0000 Honeybee 162790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Eeek, that's exciting! And sweet of you to let him sleep. :) I hope he gets good news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162787 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:39:58 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 162787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Hmm... I love it! Mr had a job interview this morning otherwise I would have let him get up :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162781 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:36:13 +0000 Honeybee 162781@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Bwahahaha! She was ready to start the day! What, you don't like to wake up for the day at 4? ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162778 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:34:13 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 162778@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: Yikes! At least you had a dream feed. At 4 am, Maisie was WIDE awake. It was adorable that she was giggling and cooing, but it took forever to get her back down! She definitely wasn't hungry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162776 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:31:29 +0000 Honeybee 162776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Ugh! I hate getting only 1-2 hours of sleep in between feedings! I always feel so exhausted.</p> <p>Last night it took TWO HOURS to put DS down. Two freaking hours! I was able to dream feed him at 10, and then he continued sleeping until 2, so I'm actually feeling somewhat rested today... but I'm not sure those 4 continuous hours of sleep were worth the 2 hours I spent rocking/walking/feeding/patting/shushing him to sleep last night. :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162773 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:26:10 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 162773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Honeybee: We finally had Maisie on a great schedule... down at 7:30, up at 3:30 and then up at 6. But last night she woke at midnight, 2:30 and 4. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162772 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:24:24 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 162772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not nearly enough. Last night I slept from 10:30 to 4 :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162769 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:23:06 +0000 hilsy85 162769@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Generally 8-9 hours...if I get less I am noticeably slower during the day. With 8-9 I don't feel like I need to "make up" sleep on the weekends. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162760 Fri, 18 May 2012 10:17:42 +0000 Honeybee 162760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm, like 5 hours? I try to be in bed by 9, and I have to be up by 5 (5:30 at the latest) plus I'm up with DS a couple times a night, so it might be more like 5-6 non-continuous hours. And, even though I always plan on it, I have yet to get a good nap in during the day. Sigh. I can't wait until DS starts sleeping better. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162610 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:44:06 +0000 Alivoo01 162610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No LO yet, but the hubby and I average about 5 hours of sleep a night due to our crazy work hours at the shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162581 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:20:52 +0000 LuLu Mom 162581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well no LO yet, so I get quite a bit of sleep now. I average 8-8/12 hours a night. I love my sleep, going to be quite an adjustment when baby girl shows up! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162577 Fri, 18 May 2012 08:18:50 +0000 sulli301 162577@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually average about 6 these days, which is usually fine, but now that I'm pregnant I go for at least 7 plus most days a nap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162531 Fri, 18 May 2012 07:27:58 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 162531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I consistently sleep 8 hours. At least once a week I'll get 9 or 10. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162508 Fri, 18 May 2012 06:55:07 +0000 MamaMoose 162508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Usually 10pm to 7am so around 9 hours. I'm screwed when this baby gets here... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162505 Fri, 18 May 2012 06:46:46 +0000 Rubies 162505@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get about 6-7 of sleep at night but it's broken up. I'll go to bed and get about 3-3.5 hours of sleep before LO wakes up for her feed...Then I go back to sleep for another 3-4 hours before she wakes up again for the day. It's exhausting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162501 Fri, 18 May 2012 06:29:56 +0000 pastemoo 162501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to get 7.5-9 hours a night. I have a problem that can be treated with medication or proper sleep--and sleep is SO MUCH CHEAPER, so I work really hard on making sleep a priority.</p> <p>That being said, the last 4 or 5 weeks of being "super pregnant" I haven't been sleeping much (and it's really getting to me). I get 4-8 hours, non contiguous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162496 Fri, 18 May 2012 06:18:48 +0000 Andrea 162496@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My minimum is 7 and I usually get that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162492 Fri, 18 May 2012 06:03:07 +0000 mediagirl 162492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm around 6 hours these days. It's enough to exist on. I prefer 8 hours. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162487 Fri, 18 May 2012 04:29:11 +0000 autumnlove 162487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO sleeps about 9-12 a night but I only get about 3.5-5 hours of sleep. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162486 Fri, 18 May 2012 04:15:58 +0000 mrbee 162486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@oliviaoblivia: 6 hours is pretty good... no complaints from me! </p> <p>Sleep deprivation is more like 4-5 hours... that is below my threshold for survival. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162483 Fri, 18 May 2012 03:28:55 +0000 oliviaoblivia 162483@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: @mrs. bird: So sorry you are both up early talking about sleep deprivation.</p> <p>No LO yet, but my morning sickness wakes me up at around 3:30. Bleh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162482 Fri, 18 May 2012 03:05:58 +0000 mrs. bird 162482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm answering at 3:58am, so... Not enough! No LO to keep me up, just a bad sleeper. Went to bed at about 11:40, was up at 2:20, less than 3 hours tonight. I aim for 7. Some nights I get it, some I don't, but it probably averages out to about that much </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-do-you-sleep-a-night-1#post-162480 Fri, 18 May 2012 02:24:41 +0000 mrbee 162480@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been wearing a device which keeps track of my sleep, and here are the results over the past six days:</p> <p>* 3.5 hours<br /> * 7.7 hours<br /> * 5.3 hours<br /> * 5 hours<br /> * 9.5 hours<br /> * 4.8 hours</p> <p>That works out to just under 6 hours a night... that seems to be my lower limit, in terms of what I can consistently pull off without naps. In a perfect world, I would sleep more like 8-9 hours... but let's be honest, that isn't happening until I am retired or dead.</p> <p>How much do you sleep a night? </p>
