I avg 6hrs of sleep a night I have severe sleep apnea so my ASV machine tracks my sleep patterns and hours in each phase of sleep since I have retired I sleep about an hour more a testament to less stress equals more sleepโฆ

I get an average of 5 hours sleep a night. No 2 nights sleep is the same as the last. I do not like naps. I suffer from hypersomnia. The more I sleep I get the more tired I am when I get up. I barely remember my dreams but I wake up with my hair all messed up and some nights Iโm drenched in sweat. Iโve been put on many different meds for sleep and nothing works. I have no problem falling asleep but staying asleep is difficult for me. Trazodone I sleep walk and I was put on 800 mg of seraquil a night and still walk up throughout the night. Sleeping pills I would blackout and be walking around and not remembering anything the next day from my actions from the night before. I have to accept that this is just the way Iโm wired. Bipolar disorder, anxiety, depression c-ptsd and recovering from addiction. Life hasnโt been easy but things are getting better. Accepting things for what they are and the way I am.

Hi everyone ๐
How are you feeling today?
We all know that sleep is essential for our bodies and minds, but getting good sleep isnโt always easy, especially when you're managing a chronic condition.
Most adults between 18 and 60 need at least 7 hours of sleep per night. For those over 60, the recommendation is 7 to 9 hours, and for those over 65, 7 to 8 hours. But what about in real life, when pain flares up, anxiety wonโt switch off, or medications disrupt your rhythms?
๐ฌ Letโs talk about it:

Whether youโre struggling or thriving in the sleep department, your experience might help someone else feel seen.
Take care,
