| |  How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
I'm lucky to get 4 hours of sleep a night. Most of the time I sleep 2 to 4 hours and then wake-up and stay awake for 5 hours before getting tried again and sleeping another 5 or more hours. I don't know if it's all the drugs I take which are 8pills a day or just having diabetes?
Thanks, Rob |

| | | Well, it's after 2am here and I'm on these forums. I get up, i.e. I actually get OUT of bed, at 8:00am. I usually end up going to bed sometime after 3am, and waking up around 7:00ish and staying in bed, hitting the snooze alarm a few times before actually getting up. 4 hours is average for me.
And then I fall asleep on the bus going to and coming home from work (45-60 minute ride, depending on traffic). I have to fight napping on the bus if my friend isn't riding at the same time, to wake me up!

| | | I usually sleep about 6 hours a night. I go to bed early and wake up really early. However, I only keep office hours M-Th and usually take naps on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I love naps... I'd almost say it's a hobby to me! |

| | | I try really hard to get 7-8 hrs of sleep each night. I sleep better now that my blood sugars have normalized...I was tired all the time before, but kept waking up to go to the bathroom or with my heart pounding. |

| | | Umm...from zero to 12?
About one night a week I don't sleep at all.
Other weeknights 4-7 hours.
Weekends 10-12.
I couldn't figure out how to answer in the poll.

| | | This is a tough one for me to answer, so I didn't. I sleep fitfully. If I take a melatonin or Excedrin PM, I can sleep for about 7 hours. If I don't I sleep in 15 minute intervals. I attempt sleep for about 8 hours. |

| | | I generally get about 6-7 hours a night... usually about 6.5 on average. I think I could use more- I find that sleep definitely influences how I feel (among other things). I'd do better on 8!
