slo’s TUESDAY 6/17 poll - Hours Of Sleep 💤💤💤

[tvguy]

9 to 10 hours most nights now that I am retired.
6 was the norm on a GOOD night when I was working.
My wife made it through the first month of retirement without using an alarm clock. Now most mornings she sets an alarm for 630 am to do exercises, I usually stay in bed until 8 am.

Now that I'm retired and can sleep as long as I want, I have a hard time sleeping. I fight to get 7 hours/night--it's usually more like 6-6.5.

My sleep doc said that's fine, because we don't need as much sleep as we get older. Thanks, Doc....

I usually get 8-9 hours of sleep, because like Kitty I’m retired. On those nights I do feel rested when I wake up. Some nights only 4-5 hours as I just toss and turn, can’t stay asleep. So on those nights I do not feel rested. I usually go to bed about 8:00, watch TV on my iPad or a movie on Prime or Netflix, or read. Go to sleep about 11:00, usually awake by 7-8.
