How do you sleep?

…..also, for how long?

Im quite a heavy sleeper (I think that’s a good thing….) I usually don’t hear loud wind, noise and happily sleep through, needing a good 8/9 hours usually 💤💤

Rely on meds and listen to my favourite musical artist as I drop off.

Mostly i sleep well thanks to medication each night that helps a lot and mostly have about 7 hours. There are some nights when i don't sleep as well.

Not very well.
Osteoarthritis pain keeping me awake at the moment. 

2nd time I've had to get up this night.  Get too stiff in bed and then need to walk around to relieve it and take more paracetamol. 

I was listed for surgery for my 2nd knee replacement 3 months ago, so waiting for a date.  Surgeon said approximately 4 months but in my experience it's usually longer than the surgeon thinks it will be.

I am sorry for everyone who has sleeping problems, especially when pain induced @ShirleyW . I have to get up and walk around to make the pain go. When I wake up everything hurts, my legs, my feet, my shoulders and my arms. Once I have moved around a little the pain goes. To go to sleep I take a sleeping tablet. I get 14 a month.

My sleep is very hit and miss.
I do try to stick to a normal routine tho.
It's usually restless legs or cramps that can cause me to have a restless night, and most mornings i'm awake at 5 - 6 due to needing my stronger pain killers.

Some weeks I'll get by on a couple of hours a night.  Sometimes pain, sometimes PTSD , more often than not it's both.  I've got used to it now and no longer stress about it thanks to coping protocols.  

Some days I'll hit 12/14 hours of sleep straight through.  I prefer the couple of hours a night, because I can't function at all after the 'sleep of the dead'
