So, since I've been in an insomnia mode lately, I figured we'd chat sleep today!

1. What's your normal bedtime?
2. What's your preferred bedtime?
3. How many hours of sleep is best for you?
4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights?
5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep?
 
1. What's your normal bedtime? Somewhere between 1am-2am
2. What's your preferred bedtime? I prefer to go to bed by midnight, but I say "just 10 more minutes" too many times! :giggle
3. How many hours of sleep is best for you? I like 6-7 hours
4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights? I don't get it most nights! More some nights. I tend to get less, around 5-6.*
5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep? Oh goodness! In high school, I stayed up all night a few times! So probably around 24 hours?

*I end up with insomnia every so often, which means I end up averaging around 3-4 hours of sleep during those times.
 
And I am up super early because we are leaving for the beach for a few days :)

1. What's your normal bedtime? During the school year, I try to be in bed by 9:30ish, because I have to get up at 5am. In the summer, it's more like midnight, and I'm up around 6 or 6:30.
2. What's your preferred bedtime? I would say around 11 would be great, but just not so good for me when I'm working.
3. How many hours of sleep is best for you? 8 is perfect, but that rarely happens
4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights? Hardly ever...it's usually more like 6 or 7.
5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep? I stayed up all night a few times in college, so probably somewhere around 24 hours.

2. What's your preferred bedtime? same lol
3. How many hours of sleep is best for you? 8 hours
4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights? pretty much but lately with my 2 doggies getting older and not healthy they do get up to go bathroom during the night............. almost like having a infant again, and I'm too old for that LOL
5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep? hmmmmm maybe about 36 hours? My very first date with my husband (a blind date) lasted about 24 hours but I couldn't go to sleep as I needed to get to school............. married 31 years now so as you see the first date was a success!

We started off in the morning, on a double date, drove down to Detroit and had lunch there. Then a lot of walking around, talking and getting to know each other. Then back to the home of one of the people from our double date. Spent time there till we all left for Midnight Roller skating which is something the youth of our church does after all weddings being held in our church. After that we went out for a 3 am breakfast with a lot of other of the youth from our church. He dropped me off at about 5am so I showered did a little day dreaming LOL and heading off to school, It was my senior year in High School.
Made it easy that we all went to the same church, a lot of the time was spend in a group.

1. What's your normal bedtime? Unfortunately, between 1-3am. Since I have to get up at 5:30am for work, this isn't so great. I'm an insomniac too, Courtney. I feel your pain!
2. What's your preferred bedtime? Anytime before midnight.
3. How many hours of sleep is best for you? 7, but that usually only happens on Saturdays outside of soccer season.
4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights? Rarely...see above.
5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep? Approximately 36 hours. You get a little manic after the first 24 hours; then you CAN'T fall asleep.
 
1. What's your normal bedtime?
sometime between 11:30 pm - 1:30 am - ha!

2. What's your preferred bedtime?
If I was a single lady of leisure, I'd love to go to bed around 2 am and then sleep in until 10 or 11 am.

3. How many hours of sleep is best for you?
9ish

4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights?
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. I have a 3 year old who never sleeps through the night. 'Nuff said.

5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep?
I think I stayed up, like, 28 hours once during high school at a sleepover? As an adult, I've stayed up 24 hours before to win a big scrapping prize back in the day -- and I did win it so it was worth it.
 
1. What's your normal bedtime? Define normal - ha ha - usually around 11pm
2. What's your preferred bedtime? When I get tired
3. How many hours of sleep is best for you? Usually 8, but 9 is heavenly
4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights? Yes, but not all nights are as restful as I would like. Getting old is hard - my arms fall asleep, my hip hurts, etc. if I don't move around a lot. And yes, I wake up when I move.
5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep? 23 hours or so when we flew from China to Hong Kong to Chicago to RDU. DD would not let me sleep on the planes until the very last flight, where I slept maybe 30 minutes.

Caffeine didn't used to bother me. Now I can not have any after 7pm; even decaf will keep from entering true deep sleep until 2am or so.
 
1. What's your normal bedtime? somewhere between 9:00 p.m. and 1:00 a.m
2. What's your preferred bedtime? when I get tired. Nowadays it's around 10 p.m.
3. How many hours of sleep is best for you? I'm so average. I often get to wake without alarm so I know my body usually sleeps 7.5-8 hours when not interrupted.
4. Do you get it most nights? Some nights? No nights? Yes.
5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep? I have skipped a night's sleep many times. Usually it's to finish reading a book and then I take a nap around dawn. But there have been a few times I stayed up all night and didn't get to sleep until the next night (or evening, at least). Most relevant here is when I got Photoshop Elements for the first time (it was November 2006. Version 5, I think . . .?) for my birthday. I was having so much fun playing around with it that I never got around to going to bed. I had a 3 week old baby so I must have gone to bed to nurse him a few times during the night, but then returned to my computer. The part I remember best is noticing the sky lightening outside and realizing I'd stayed up all night playing with PSE. :giggle

5. What's the longest you've stayed up without sleep? I think around 30 hours. When we traveled home with our first daughter. 30 hours of travel. I had a horrible cough and could not rest on the airplane rides. I may have snoozed for 30 minutes or so....

Yes. She was just 21 months old and would only sleep if I stood up holding her. So I spent most of the 14 hour flight walking around the plane and standing in the back. She would not let anyone else hold her. It may have been more than 23 hours. I would have to look in the scrapbook to jog my memory.

Close to two days...had my membranes swept with Sonnet first thing in the morning (woke up at 4:30 am that morning) and went into labor that evening and had her the following morning and could not fall asleep until the following day. Her labor almost ended with an emergency c-section, I was afraid to fall asleep.
