I get somewhere in the neighborhood of 4-5 hours on a good night. Most of that is spend thrashing about violently. Been that way since high school. A friend once said that I don't sleep because I haven't found the right person to fall asleep next to....still waiting I guess.

I don't fit any of those, i go to bed between 1am and 5am and it takes me around an hour or two to go to sleep. I then get up at lunchtime - mid afternoon. I snore and talk and wriggle an awful lot according to those unlucky enough to share my bed.

I work nights so mine are all messed up. Saturday morning, I come home and nap until noon. Stay up till about 1am. Sleep until 9am on Sunday. Go to bed around midnight, up at 8am on monday. Monday I usually stay up till 5pm, take a 3hr nap, then work all night. The rest of the week, I'm in bed from 8:30am to 4pm.

I am a big sleepy head, so I need 6-8 hours a night...but getting those is another question.

I checked the boxes for needing 6 hrs. sleep a night or less, and having vivid dreams and nightmares. Often, my sleep is broken up. Sometimes, I drift off while watching the news, wake up wide awake an hour or two later, stay up for a few hours, then get a couple more hours before work. Some of my friends shake their heads in amazement when they see the times I am up and on-line replying to e-mail and making posts. One asked if I ever sleep at all, and I assured him that I did.

I do often have vivid dreams. Occasionally, I will have a vivid nightmare, but 99% of the time I have either pleasant or neutral vivid dreams.

Oh, I have also been told that I talk in my sleep a few times, but I didn't check that box because it is pretty rare. One time, when I was taking an accounting course in college, my ex-boyfriend told me I was talking about accounting in my sleep. Another time, I said the name of a man I worked with in my sleep. I'm not sure why, because he was married, had like eight kids, and nothing had ever happened between us, but my ex-fiancee was not amused in the slightest.

I generally get between five and seven hours of sleep at night...I tend to sleep on my left side, on the edge of the bed (in a king size bed--go figure). Um...I suck on my teeth when I sleep. Sometimes with underwear, sometimes without. Sometimes with clothes on, sometimes without. Oh, wait...you weren't asking all of that were you?

I was just commenting on this elsewhere on the boards. I went back to school in October and am waiting tables to pay tuition and bills. It's an elevated program so coursework that normally takes 2 years to complete is smushed into a 9 month schedule. School from 8am to 2pm M-F and then to work anywhere between 4pm and 6pm then work until anywhere between 1am to 4am. Not a lot of time left for sleep after studying and homework. This past week there were days I didn't sleep at all. Or only got 3 or 4 hours spread over a 2 day period. It isn't unusual for me to get in an hour nap between work/school and then another hour before work and that's it for a 24 hour period.

Normally I have 2 days off a week but this last week or so we've been short so I've pulled some doubles and 12 hour shifts as well. Thought I was doing pretty well functioning until I ended up somehow sleeping through my alarm Friday morning and not waking up until Noon missing class altogether! I don't even remember actually laying down. Just woke up still fully dressed and across the bed. LOL.

Looking at my schedule I realized I hadn't had a full 24 hours off for over a month. I'm either at school, at work or both. Needless to say I had a long talk with the scheduling manager last night about making a more regular schedule with set hours and set days off during the week not to mention getting a full day off at least once every 2 weeks. Fortunately I only have 4 more months of this craziness and then I go to 4 months of internship. I figure I can get through anything when there's a light at the end of the tunnel to look forward to, let's just hope it isn't a train.

I work night shifts; sometimes 11 pm to 7 am, sometimes 7 pm to 7 am. At least twice a week I am up without any sleep for 24 to 30 hrs. On the days/nights that I do sleep, I usually only sleep about 5 or 6 hrs, sometimes as little as 2 hrs.

I have very interesting, detailed dreams, that I wish I could record because some would make good movies. There are sometimes I wake up, and am pissed because I want to know how the dream will end. If it is MY dream......from MY subconscious.........why in the heck don't I know the ending? Sheesh, what a rip off.

Generally I go to bed early, around 9ish but then I'm up in a couple of hours and that's the pattern for the whole night. I'm usually up for the day around 5am sometimes 4.
I couldn't tell you the last time that I slept for 6 hours uninterupted 4 for that matter.
When I sleep I dream so vividly that I don't feel rested when I wake up.
It's crazy.

So what is it with vivid dreaming and this group of people? Most people don't get it. I tell them a calm dream and they think I'm telling them a nightmare. Most people I've meet say they don't dream. But about 1/4 of the people in this highly scientific survey report vivid dreams and nightmares

I need six to eight hours of sleep but sometimes, I stay up later than usual. I don't know why as I was never like that as a child. I work the typical 9:00 to 5:00 job. I think that will change because I am thinking of becoming a teacher, which I will go to bed early.
