I rarely get that any more though and it's so tough. My husband is one of those 5-6 hours and he's good!

I don't tell people that on the days DH goes into work mid-late morning and I don't work, he lets me sleep in. Usually that means just until 9-9:30 but it feels sooooo good. I always tell him I feel bad and he should get a turn but he says he doesn't need it. It's usually about twice a week he lets me sleep longer and I just get so excited for those days. Ha! Then I have to transition back to getting up at 6 for work or school.

DH needs about 7, and yep, I'm jealous too. It's also REALLY frustrating because you get judged way more if you need a lot of sleep. I'm not just being lazy! It doesn't help that I'm a night owl. I'm at my most awake from 1pm to 11 or so. Which means I do best going to sleep around midnight and getting up no earlier than 10, preferably 11 or noon. That's a great way to get judged by pretty much everyone.

I am never fully rested though :( I wake up too many times in the night.

With this said, I haven't had kids yet so down the road I'll probably be happy with like 4 lol!

I do okay if I get a 5 hour stretch without interruptions. Id say I average 5-6 total lately.

These days I am getting about 4 on average. daniellemybelle on "How much sleep do you need to feel fully rested?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-sleep-do-you-need-to-feel-fully-rested#post-1514207 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:46:44 +0000 daniellemybelle 1514207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Before LO it was 9 hours. Anything less & I was beat. Now I have learned to function fairly well on way less sleep. 6-7 hours is good enough for me. The biggest thing is consecutive sleep. An uninterrupted stretch would be blissful! winniebee on "How much sleep do you need to feel fully rested?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-sleep-do-you-need-to-feel-fully-rested#post-1514203 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:43:32 +0000 winniebee 1514203@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I really need 7 to feel fully functional. 8 and I feel great. Before kids I thought I needed 8-9 funny how that works. My husbands alarm goes off at 545 so we try to go to sleep at 930. pinkcupcake on "How much sleep do you need to feel fully rested?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-much-sleep-do-you-need-to-feel-fully-rested#post-1514201 Sat, 22 Mar 2014 14:40:51 +0000 pinkcupcake 1514201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I need at least 9, ideally 9.5 to feel fully rested.

The reason? I was getting 12-13 hours sleep a night. Now I know that I need a lot of sleep to feel fully rested. Needless to say, I feel pretty tired right now!!!

If I have to get up early, I need more than that. Right now B is getting up around 745 and I go to bed around 1030 and I feel really good with that schedule.
