Sleep
It seems I can only squeak out 3-4 hrs of sleep each night these days. I hate this. It’s 4 am and I’ve been up two hours already. I’m told it’s not that unusual with us seniors (that’s the first time I’ve used that term to describe myself).

I have bad sleeping habits. I am ready for bed around 8 or 9. I sleep until 2 or 3 and up on the web until 5 or 6 then back to bed until 8 -9.

Depends on why you are not sleeping as to what might help. (anxiety, pain, breathing problems, having to pee, did I say PAIN etc.) In bed by 10:30 usually, up at 6am daily (dogs have to be fed) When I am up I am up, no back to bed, even on days I don't work. |

3-4 seems to be about all I get too, if I go to sleep around 10 I’m up around 2, so I usually stay up until 12 or 1 so I at least sleep until 4 or 5

I get to bed about 10pm. Wake up a few times at night and just toss and turn. Wake up around 7am.
I found drinking Cranberry juice helps with the peeing at night. |

I've been drinking cranberry juice cut 50/50 with water for over 15 years
and yes, it helps the pee problem. An excellent source of vitamin C too. I get it from Costco. My urologist sez my kidneys are in fantastic shape. |

My sleep is all over the place. Sometimes I can't sleep at all, but here recently, it seems to be all I want to do. I did change BP medicine because the manufacturers literally ran out of Benicar, so I wonder if that might be the cause. I could literally sleep most of the weekend away. I tend to wake up at the butt crack of dawn on the weekends anyway, but by 9 or 10 a.m. I want to go back to bed. If I do lay down, I'm done literally for hours. I'm certainly not depressed or anything, just out of steam.

I've been getting to bed 10:30 to 11 and usually sleep until the alarm goes off at 4:30. Weekends I still wake up then but can "sleep in" to 6:30 or 7
If I can, a 1/2 hour nap after work helps out. |

I have a weird schedule. I work 1 day a week by going to the company, and the other 4 days I work from home. The commute on the train is 2.5 hours one way!
On Mondays when I go into work, I do to bed at 9:00am and try to go to sleep. It can take 30 minutes or so to finally sleep. I then get up a 3:30am. Take a shower, get dressed, and have breakfast. I'm out the door at 4:15am and drive 8 miles to the train station. The train arrives at 4:45am. Get on the train and work by answering emails etc. At 3:24 I get back on the train and had home. I arrive at 6:15pm. I stay up until 10 or 11pm. My alarm goes off at 6:30am so I can work from home. On the weekends, I'm up till 11pm and getup at 7am the next day. I may wake up and go pee probably 1 or twice in a weeks time. Good news is I'm retiring in February 2020. |

I'm usually in bed by 10PM, lay around a read for about a half hour. Then get up. I usually wake up at least once in the middle of the night to pee. |

Since retirement my goal is to get drunk enough to not remember when I got to bed.
Just for nostalgia purposes, I do not drink on Sundays and get up at 4:00 on Mondays for my volunteer job at the hospital, where I will usually work until around noon. Although the hours will not be so early, I am considering adding one or two more days a week to my volunteer job in some other departments. |

my entire adult life, I average 7.5 hours sleep/night (11:30pm to 7am) during the work week, and 9.5 hours sleep/night (I'm serious; midnight to 9:30am) on weekends. I can't imagine trying to get-by with less. |
