Also please comment whether you think you are getting enough or not
-
I put > 8 but maybe it's because it's winter here. I rise and "fall" with the light.
Less than 5 and I'm fired though. I don't do well with little sleep, or over partying like I used to. Reminder, my POIS is las 7 yrs or so, so before POIS, low sleep or partying wasn't a problem.
-
I put 7-8, but often I get 6.5 or so. And I have deviated septum which reduces the quality of my sleep and also my breathing a little bit.
Similar to you, I am intensely sensitive to getting enough sleep. If I get even an hour less than what I need, I could develop any number of symptoms midday ranging from extreme fatigue to heartburn, anxiety, complete inability to concentrate...
-
I'm not sure what I should put. If I take fenugreek + garlic in the morning I'll get about 8 hrs of sleep. Or if I take saw palmetto if I orgasm during the day I'll also get about 8 hrs. If I don't take any supplements I'll sleep at 3-4 hr periods randomly during the day and night.
I rarely feel like I get enough sleep. Also I've noticed that the supplements I take help clear my nostrils and make it easier to breath through them.
-
You'd probably be in the 7-8 range. But with your comments clarifying. Even if you don't take the suppliments, you sleep (like a cat) but probably still get near 8 combined.

I tend to need less sleep when I'm functioning completely normally. At peak performance 6hrs and I'm fully rested. But when I'm in full pois, even 10hrs and I feel terrible.
And I've noticed that as I've gotten older, I need less sleep. But I think I need to get the same amount of sleep as when I was younger because my body is aging, aka not being repaired completely! Do the cells just get lazy as they age? lol.

6-7 hours
Enough but I think 1 hour more would be better for energy.
-
Always 8 or more hours here. It's usually enough but when in POIS no sleep seems to be enough.
-
7-8 usually. When in POIS though i can be in bed for 12 hours or so altogether, not sleeping in the end but finding it difficult to get out of bed, i dont even feel like moving my limbs.
-
7-8hrs. I usually feel like it's enough, but I usually hit a physical and mental wall in the afternoon while in POIS
-
Sleep: Around 7 hours when normal. 12 or more hours right after POIS.
-
Yep 7-8 if normal. Can easily be 12 or more in POIS if I don't have to get up - not always sleeping solidly, sometimes just lying about or drifting in and out of sleep. No amount of sleep seems to fix the tiredness/urge to sleep more. Its sometimes better to force myself out of bed and then I can feel a bit better by evening. My symptoms generally seem worst in the morning though sometimes if I've been trying to be active I'll need to sleep for a bit in the late afternoon.
-
I've begun to notice a connection btwn sleep and POIS. 6 hrs of sleep and even though I'm tired, I'll have less POIS than 8-9 hrs sleep. 10 hrs of sleep and i'll have more POIS than I can handle.
Even on days after an O, I'll want to sleep for 10hrs straight, but if I force myself out of bed after 6 hrs, I'll typically feel better than if I hadn't.
-
I put 6-7, because I prefer to go to bed early and to get up early in the morning, like at 4:00 - 4:30 AM.
I've noticed that I have digestion problems gone if I get up as early as this. And generally in this case I have much more physical strength and very clear mind. Though its still a bit hard to follow such a schedule, because you always feel that you didn't sleep enough.
And when I get up late, say at 8:00 AM I get terrible digestion problems and generally although I don't feel sleepy, I feel that all my body and my mind indeed work poorly instead.

My sleep is erratic and dependent it's proximity to my last orgasm and my level of fitness.
1-2 days after orgasm- 9-13hrs
3-5 days after orgasm- 8-10hrs
>5 days after orgasm- 7-9hrs
Typically I have an ejaculation every 2.5 days so sleep takes up too much of my time, yet is necessary to function. I should also note that on days I do have an orgasm I have extreme difficulty falling asleep and as a result I often sleep very late (e.g. 10:30AM-5 PM). I have never been good in the morning or early morning hours, although as my POIS has progressively gotten worse w/ age I have more trouble falling asleep or staying asleep unless I am exhausted.
Ohhh, I also wake often (2-3hrs) and dream constantly.
