You don’t need as much sleep as you think

For three years I went to work at 8 am Thursday and went back to bed Sunday night. So an average of 3-4 hrs a night

In 2006 I got a massive migraine while skiing. Worst pain I’ve ever felt, and it lasted for like 3 hours.

Uninterrupted probably 10 to 12 hrs once or twice. Under meds

1/20/20 6:53pm

My wife and her sister both were 12+ hr/day sleepers in HS and college. They both grew out of it when they became moms

I think its more anxiety and not being fully asleep. Plus I often drink too much

cougaman

1/20/20 7:20pm

Same. I'm young, no enlarged prostate. But I still get up 1-3 times per night to pee. Mostly because I've never been

Slim

I've recently had a few nights where I've gone 8-10 hours, and it was amazing.

That's happened to me less than a handful of times in my entire life

Two weeks is pretty long recovery for shoulder surgery, isn't it?
