I just really need to turn off the computer/TV and get into bed at 10pm. When I do, I start getting sleepy pretty quickly. If only I could get a Wallace & Gromit contraption that would turn off everything & fling me into bed...

I aim to go to bed at 9, which often means starting to head that way 8:30 or so. Lately I have been getting sleepy around 7:30. Sleeping from sunset to sunrise would be the best, I don't have any particular rules about screens, though. I sometimes think I should, but that would take more discipline that I seem to have available, lately.
Today I am going from 3 ibuprofen to 2! Seems to be going okay so far. Yay!
Yes, my life is that exciting.

I suspect I usually get more sleep than all y'all. But I need it! My precious....
I think I'm on the high end of how much I need--if I consistently get less than 8 hours I am a lot more prone to migraines.

8 hours sleep would be awesome, but my goal is to at least have restful low stimulus time. As in off computer and work stuff. I have convinced myself that reclining in bed reading is just as useful to my brain as sleeping. Don't tell me otherwise, please.

In a perfect world, I would get 9 - 10 hours of sleep, because I've been running on a deficit for so long that my body is constantly trying to catch up.
In the real world, I can get by on 6 hours. I'll be slow and a little cranky, but I can do it.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I would snap after about three days with 6 hours sleep.

I figure if I can't sleep, resting may not be as good but it's better than being up trying to do stuff.

Yeah, I might not even make it to 2 days.
I really need the time change to happen so my brain can get a little re-set.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am unhappy when I get less than 7.5 hours!

2 pregnancies and 3-1/2 years of nursing leaves me so very grateful for solid blocks of sleep of any duration over 4-5 hours. I went for several years without a decent block of sleep. It takes a real toll on the body and mind. I think that is why I am so insistent now that I have only myself to blame if I don't get the sleep I need. Sleep, it is such good stuff.
