10 hours- all the time.

10 and then go like 18 awake//then 10 again

If I sleep 10 I feel more tired. Weird how messed up is that? I love to be up at 5:30 every mornin for my coffee and computer time before I get my kids up. So really I dont care to sleep in.

I'm goinng to try and get more sleep,5 hours wasn't enough!

nighty

Latley I have been getting maybe 6 or so with a power nap in the day and it seems o be working with my current chemistry, but I am on all kinds of vitiman supplements and stuff. lol

I'm with DD. That would be life the way it should be :)

I sleep so much more when I am on meds. My manic side keeps me awake for 20 hours a day. When risperdal kicks in, lamictal takes over...I am down for the count. I contribute my new sense of well being to the good sleep I am getting!

I do best with 7-8 hours sleep if it falls within my circadian sleep rhythm. If I am out of that, I dont sleep well so the hours of sleep dont always matter. Too much is as bad as not enough for me. Hugs

the pdoc and the tdoc want me to get 8 hours on non interrupted sleep a night. they feel according to my charting and history that i function the best on that.it keeps me out of a manic mood, and seems to work best for me. right now i would like to see 5-6 uninterrupted sleep, that would be nice. then i wouldnt be waking my hubby up constantly for someone to talk to.

10

10 sounds good right now b/c I'm not sleeping these days.

I'd prfer to never sleep, but haven't figured out how to accomplish that yet.
If I HAD to choose one or the other, I'd take the 5.
But sometimes, I need the 5 in order to feel 'good' the next day and other times, I need the 10.
