How are your sleep habit?

Question

Can you get more than 6 hours a night? If not, what prevents you from doing so?

Answer

I was a diagnosed type 5 insomniac for about 20 years. I would sleep between 5-25 hours a week total.

You have to take steps to train yourself to go to sleep.

Keep electronics with a screen away from your sleeping area. They cause a subconscious distraction.

Meditation helps by getting your mind used to the process of acknowledging and each thought and letting it go away.

Stress levels are an effect as well as diet and exercise.

There is a lot more information out there. But I have gotten to the point where I can put myself to sleep on command within an hour or two about 80% of the time.

Answer

I can meditate for hours some nights and not sleep. Fortunate for me, I am young and a young man's brain has infinite healing capabilities, quasi-literally. New(ish) studies from the University of Minnesota are showing now that you can quickly recuperate- with a quick catnap -after zero sleep on isolated occasions.

So just roll with it if you want (: but I DO know that spending time asking about it on glow will not make it any easier to sleep if that's what you choose to do.

Answer

I have big problems getting to sleep some nights, but mostly waking up in the middle of the night and not being able to get back to bed.

Sometimes I wonder if 0530 formations for years and years ruined my ability to sleep in!

Answer

It seems to me that I can only get 5 hours and than I wake up. Maybe it's due to not having a sleep schedule ?

Answer

My wife is having trubel getting a good full nights sleep she's waking up frequently any ideas

Answer

I work a 12hr night shift rotating schedule 2-2-3. Plus I'm a real estate broker during the days. It's not uncommon for me to go up to 30hrs with no sleep. This does take a toll on my body mentally and physically. After a long work binge it takes a solid day to recoup back to normal hours. However, even when I do sleep I only sleep 6-8hrs MAX, if I sleep longer I wake up feeling just as tired as when I went to bed.

Answer

Terrible. Due to my wife and I being on different shifts, it's common for me to get <5 hours of sleep.

Answer

I sleep about 5-6 hours a night but I also work 6 days a week and put in about 11 hours a day am tired when I wake up and tired when I get home but as soon as I lay down am wide awake which sucks any help on that part

Answer

When meditating, what are good things to think about to set your mind and body at ease? Any suggestions?

Answer

Not getting more than 6 hours per day during week days a bit more during weekend. I am decided to start a kind of healthy habit of sleeping as soon as I am off commitments end of may and start going to bed 11 at latest.
