Ever since I was transfered back to the night shift Ive been having a hard time getting enough sleep? I sleep for 3 hours straight and wake up and I couldn't get myself go back to sleep again after that. I may take an hour sleep before I go to work and a 45 minute sleep at work during my break. So though I get around 5 hours of sleep a day... it seems like its not enough!

I generally get around 6 hours of sleep. A good night may yield 8 hours, but that's rare. I sympathize with your current sleep situation, I hope you find a solution to your problem.

Sometimes I get about 5 hours or maybe 6 hours of sleep at night. Sometimes I'm able to get 9 hours of sleep or maybe more it just depends on what time I get to bed and what time I have to get up the next morning. It's all dependent on what time I get to bed, what time I woke up the day before, that kind of thing. Usually I try to get at least 7 hours but it doesn't always happen that way.

If I get at least the 5 hours of sleep ,straight... I think that'll be alright. I do get that though when I work on day shifts.

I sleep at least for 7 hours, including the siesta. It may increase but it can decrease only in some extraordinary situations. Sleeping is the best gift the God has given to man. However, the most interesting stuff of sleeping is to get up and be in the bed for some time thinking irrelevant things.

I work from home so I have to work while my kids are sleeping which is usually 10pm to 6am I then get my son headed off to school and fall asleep a little before 8am and I'm back up with my two daughters by 11am on good days.

I need my sleep, I sleep for about 9-10 hours each night. If I don't get that amount of sleep I can't function in the morning.
