What can you say about sleep?

That is amazing that you can manage on five hours of sleep a night. Do you take naps during the day?

@LadyDuck Well, if you can function on that and if you feel good all day long then that is what works for you.

@1hopefulman No, I never take naps, I would sleep even less during the night.

That sounds great! What are your usual sleep hours?

@1hopefulman 11:30 to whenever.........lol

@DianneN Sounds good!

Some say that we should have a sleep pattern. Do you try to go to bed and to wake up every day at the same time?

@1hopefulman I don't have a sleep pattern. It's more of a sleep crazy paving! I have to get up at the same time every day for work. I get a little longer at the weekend. As for going to bed at the same time, I do try. I like to go to bed quite early but that's not always possible. I like to go to bed around 9:30pm but that's difficult on the days when I get home late!

@pumpkinjam What is a paving?

@1hopefulman that's what doctors are trying to figure out. I have no clue. think it's something to do with my digestive system

@bunnybon7 I hope they are able to figure it out soon. Where do you experience the pain and is it only at night?

What do you think is causing the pain and sweating?

In a typical day, when do you go to sleep and when do you wake up?

@db20747 Yes I usually do! Every morning I have a big fight with the bed as it wants to keep me there all day.

Do u sleep well usually!!?

Sorry to hear that! What is preventing you from getting more sleep?

@RubyHawk I see! I wonder what it could be that stops you from sleeping?

@1hopefulman I have no idea, I don't get sleepy and then only doze off and on.

@1hopefulman Haha -yes..I am still a night owl - You know I have friends in Canada and US and South America - the Philippines and even China etc

@buenavida Wonderful to have lots of friends and everywhere.

Good for you! I know that you go to sleep at some crazy hours. I am trying to go to bed every night at 11:30.

@1hopefulman 9 is good.

@popciclecold Great! How long is your nap?

How many hours a night is enough?

We will have to train the dogs to allow their masters to sleep.

@BelleStarr Who's the master?

@1hopefulman lol Mine are spoiled rotten, they get hungry and mommy needs to get up now!!!

If you need it then give in and enjoy it. Enough sleep is really important.

@just4him Yes, there are times when we can't get the sleep we need. However, if we keep doing this then it will hurt us I have been told as when we sleep the body works on healing.

@1hopefulman There are times when I can't give in and enjoy a good nap, like right now. I need to leave in a few minutes, or I would be down for my morning nap.

Yes, I feel the same way! However, I hate going to bed as I am still energetic most nights.

@db20747 We may be night howls and hate to get up early.

@1hopefulman I also come alive at nite!!

Can you share what is your typical sleep pattern?

@Hannihar I think that each one has their own challenges and needs to find their own specific solutions so that they can get enough quality sleep where they have lots of energy during the day.

@1hopefulman Yes, I can. If I get up very early I go to bed early and try and get a good night's sleep but that is not the case. I get up at times maybe 3 times a week to go to the bathroom and then hard to get back to sleep again. That is how it is with me. If you have specific questions then ask and I will answer as best I can if I can.

I feel the same way and I try to get 8 hours of sleep every night.

@Nakitakona The word that I misspelled was "doing".

@1hopefulman That's right. We have nothing to lose, haven't we?

That sound reasonable! What time do you go to bed and wake up?

@Karenahanane55 I think it is a good schedule!

@1hopefulman I go to bed at 23 :00 o'clock and I wake up at 7:00 o'clock

That's amazing! when do you got be bed and when do you get up?

@May2k8 Do you see that as what you need on a regular basis?

@1hopefulman I usually sleep at 1:00 a.m. and wake up at around 7 a.m.

What is the best sleep pattern that works well for you?

@Juliaacv What is your best time to go to sleep and wake up?

@1hopefulman Usually trying to go to bed and wake about the same time works for me. There are times when we go out and I go to bed later but I usually nap the next day.

It is Friday June 21st. Let's make it a good day that will create some pleasant memories in whatever we do or don't do.

@db20747 It was fun riding my bike. I went shopping with it but bought too much to carry in my knapsack and so I had a bag in my hand which is not wise. Let's not forget to get a good night's sleep so that we can have lots of energy tomorrow.

@1hopefulman I hope to make accomplishments 2day!! And hope it will be a good day!!

I'm also like that! I think I am like a bear in the winter in that I just want to hibernate till spring.

@1hopefulman Precisely!

What hours for going to sleep and waking up do you think are best?

@Sojourn Sounds reasonable! Right now I have adopted 11:30 to 7:30 and I'm pretty happy. I am retired.

@1hopefulman I will go by what once a doctor said to me (11:00 p.m - 6:00 a.m).But I don't know when I will be able to maintain that.

If you stay all day in bed, are you still able to sleep at night?

@Nevena83 Maybe one day you will have a day when you can do that and and then you will see how it goes.

@1hopefulman I do not know, I never slept during the day, but I would like one day to sleep for a long time and I do not have to get out of bed.
