How much sleep do YOU need/get??

Question

Hey mamas! Just wondering how much sleep y’all are aiming for and then actually getting? I know they say 8 is the magic number but I’ve found if I get 6 hours I am able to function pretty well and not feel total exhausted (with a cup or 2 of coffee of course 😉)

Answer

If my husband takes the first shift I can get 3-4 hours straight (9-12ish).  After that I’ve been lucky to get 2 consecutive hrs through the night.  I would guess that in total I get 6, but it’s not the same interrupted.  I feel dead when we get up in the morning but somehow bounce back after I’ve been up for a bit and with coffee, until crashing again at 8pm.

Answer

Maybe 5 if I'm lucky 😁i have to have a minimum of 2 coffees before 12 to feel normal (I get up at 7/7.30)

Answer

I get about 6-8 but not all together I guess the most I get in one go is about 5 but that’s more about me than baby 🤷🏻‍♀️. For me my main problem is getting up and starting the day straight away this is not how my brain works. I’m one of those people that can’t and doesn’t want to hold a conversation before 9 and by then little is ready for a nap 🤣🤣

Answer

I aim for 8, and I usually get between 8-9 unless I stay up too late watching shows 😬

Answer

I get anywhere from 6-8hrs, never exceeds 8 though. But I do oddly always feel tired, even with that, not sure why.

Answer

I get 6 to 8 hours really depends on how fast I fall asleep after laying her down. I always feel tired though later in the day but I'm not sure if that's due to just being at home and not doing much somedays or maybe from breastfeeding burning calories. It'll be interesting to see how I am once I start working again.

Answer

I get about 6-7 hours, but do much better with 7-8 hours. Yes, my sleep is broken up to feed, but I get a good 5 hour chunk ~10pm- 3:30ish. My husband feeds kiddo his last bottle (5oz breastmilk) around 10:30pm after I've gone to bed.so I can have the longest stretch possible.

Answer

I shoot for six as well but I start back work soon and I know it’s going to be a rough adjustment
