Maybe you’re reading this when you just woke up after a solid eight hours of sleep. Maybe you’re reading this after you were up all night—you don’t sleep very well these days. Maybe you’re reading this after you’ve just woken up from a 45-minute nap.
On average, and if you had to guess, about how many hours a day/night do you sleep? And yes, we’re including naps here. Perhaps you only sleep five hours at night but you nap for about two hours a day. Is that you?
After you vote, please leave a comment. Do you take naps every day? Most days? And for how long? We’re curious… Thanks!
Naps are unplanned events.
LOL!
Naps depend on what is going on that day. Even then, only about 15 minutes.
I’m rarely asleep before 12:30 AM and up by 7 Am. Most days I take a 15-20 minute nap in the afternoon but not always do to needing to get something done. I am 70 years old and this has been my pattern most of my life.
Come on guys, you can do better for topic then this. But what is interesting is the “open kimono” types who are anxious to talk about themselves.
W ell Fritz I sort of enjoyed this poll. Just don’t play if we’re using the wrong ball for you
Actually, I’ve enjoyed this survey. If I don’t like the question, I just don’t respond.
Right on!!!
Yep.
Sorry friz, this was a good poll. It let’s us compare notes on our sleep expectations, in a 24 hour period. Normal versus not normal.
Earlier in this newsletter RVT asked for topics you would like to see in this newsletter. Let them know.
I travel in my RV for work, pulling 12hr shifts on days or nights. I’m one of the few that can work equally well on either shift, but I rarely sleep more that 5hrs when working nights. Could be because of all the ambient light (even tho I use blackout curtains, it’s still not the same), could be because of everyone else doing their normal daily stuff and making noise….. whatever. I just don’t sleep that much. If working dayshift, I’m always staying up late watching movies or playing video games. Never seems to be enough personal time.
I remember planning to sleep 5 hours in a day. I also remember not weighing this much and having joints that didn’t complain. All are fond memories. Something happened a few years back that changed a lot of that. It also used to be that a driving day could be 8 hours. Memories are what remain from those times…..
I normally sleep or try to at least 7 hours in a row. Naps are frequent maybe 3 a day lasting 30-45 minutes each
Sadly, I spend a lot more hours “flat & quiet” than actually sleeping. Early morning naps are pretty common, right after I let the dogs out & back in.
Only 7 hours and I’m down for a nap at some point. Between 8-9, I’m good for the day. RVTravel, I think you know a LOT about me by now… Hahaha
Around 6 hours or so at night, and maybe 1/2-1 hour nap mid afternoon
Yep, seems about right.
Depends how much I do during the day. The more I do the more I need a nap. There are times I don’t do anything outside and still need a nap. that’s what 83 years old does to you. Especially when loading the motorhome for the next camping trip.
There are some days I’d love to doze off in the afternoon. But I don’t. I know if I do, I will have a harder time sleeping during the night.
2 years into retirement and I’ve settled into a routine of 7-8 hours of sleep most nights. I rarely take naps, when I do they’re usually 15-30 minutes. I do not set an alarm, I sleep until I wake up.
CPAP user for over 25 years. The records my normal sleep night as 7 hours. Naps are usually an unplanned event 30 to 45 minutes. I have stopped driving and pulled to the shoulder when a nap seems inevitable.
The true measure of a person’s success is sleeping when you want.
I chose “7-8,” but I’m most often 6 – 8. Poor dear wife typically goes to bed 2-3 hours before I do (and we rise at the same time), but has so much trouble falling asleep that many nights I get more sleep than she does. 🙁
I wish I could sleep the same as my late 4 pawed mouskie destroyer.
Cats sure know how to relax when snoring in a safe spot. (my feet)
