General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

Poll: how much do you sleep at night?

question

1 being none and 10 being full nights sleep, rate how much you feel you sleep during the night. Just asking out of curiosity.

I take a lot of meds so 10 usually 10 to 12 hours.

I try to sleep for 10 hours because I know that I will need to get up in the night to go to the bathroom and that obviously disturbs my sleep. And if I don't get enough sleep I end up being too tired and that means I don't wake up for the bathroom.

I don't always sleep at night, but I typically sleep about 6 to 10 hours per 24 hour period. How well I sleep is my most trusted indicator of my emotional health. When my symptoms were out of control, I often didn't sleep at all.

I'll let you ply whatever number you feel applies. The 1 to 10 rating method still confuses me without the Happy Hour spirit assist.

My sleep is split because I work nights. I'm lucky to get 6 hours. Often times I get a total of 4 to 5 hours. Once a week, I'm usually up 24 hours.

I’m caring for my bedwetting daughter and we tried to get her awake once or twice a night so I could get her to the bathroom. During that time I /we weren’t getting much sleep. Maybe 4 hours per night.
Since I increased her padding to cope easily with all her wettings at night and even a mess we both get much more sleep. I get around 7 to 8 and my daughter almost 10 hours.
It is very important to get enough sleep and the time when we tried the night wake ups it made us angry and unbalanced.

It honestly depends, on average I'd say 5-6 hours. Depends how long it takes me to fall asleep and how often my 11 month old decides to wake up.

Mine is usually broken and on a good night I'll be lucky to get 5-6 hours. Occasionally I'll have a great night where I'll sleep through without waking once but it's still only about 6 hours, just at once not broken

If I am lucky about 3-4 hours a day. I work 3rds so my circadian rhythm is delightfully off kilter. In the job I do I try to say "Im awake so you can peacefully sleep"

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
