How much sleep did you have last night

Slept all night about 7.5 hours as I usually do. Out when my head hits the pillow. Don't require bog visits in the early hours unless blood glucose levels have gone t*ts up. I've had an incredibly stressful last few months in my personal life and work as well. Thankfully doesn't seem to have affected my sleep.
 
7.5 hours for me too, uninterrupted. Not surprising really, given the medication I had to take before bed. Happy dreams, though🙂
 
Went out like a light at midnight. Was bladdered. Woke up at 8am. Feeling delicate.😳
 
Got about 4-6 hours last night but interrupted by needing to feed Nate. Will probably settle around 6 hours a night but only if I start going to bed earlier and will be interrupted by feeding for the next 8 weeks or so (fingers crossed).
 
Not a great night. Went to bed with tears in my heart as I lost my friend unexpectedly yesterday. Woke at 0330, feeling sick,frozen and pain in ribs. Cosied in with extra fleece so managed to sleep but woke to a huge sorry for my friends family. Sorry to share my miseries

So sorry for your loss @Carolg. :(
 
Thanks Mark. I know as we get older it’s a thing we face, but oh boy, it still comes as a big slap
 
So, it's not just me?

I stayed up to watch the Masters and got to sleep abut 12:30 am. Alarm was at 6:10 (my usual week-day time as I start work at 7:30).

I often wake up during the night but can usually get back to sleep again.

Might need a wee nap later!
 
6 hours 45 minutes

My thoughts are with you Carol

So sorry to hear this Carol. It’s always heartbreaking so take care.
 
I usually go to bed at 8 pm and get up at 7 am. There are times when a loo visit is needed or when the dogs decide that it is play time but I don't stay awake for very long after that. In the summertime it is different because in typical Spanish fashion the neighbours all gather in the street once the heat of the day has dissipated and chat away until 1 or 2 in the morning, their grandchildren are up until the same time and run around making lots of noise which disturbs me a great deal.
 
Thanks all for your kind thoughts.

You must have thought a great deal of your friend Carol and the shock of an unexpected death is all the more painful. Waking up after sleep and the sudden realization of the death someone close hits home for a second time.
My sister has just informed me that her husband is now in palliative care and is on 24 hour oxygen. Didn't expect that one. Life can be c**p sometimes.

I am sorry to hear your sad news Davein. Hard it is when you are watching yours watching theirs and so frustrating to be able to do little. Life can certainly be c**p sometimes

It’s the waves of pain and loss that get you as well and when you don’t live nearby you can’t give or get comfort from others. Thanks for your lovely words and understanding. My thoughts are with you and yours
Yes, she was a lovely lady and the star that her family and friends revolved around. I was extremely fortunate that We both became “family”

Thank you both for your kind words much appreciated. The cruel thing is my sister had only recently decided to retire from her job and they were planning to do so much together....
