How well does everyone here sleep?

[gadamsgrega2]

I'd just like to find out how well all of you sleep at night? And on the nights that you do get peaceful rest at night,
how is your anxiety the next day? Are you able to do more then on the nights you didn't sleep well?

Sort of on and off a lot of nights. Other nights I may have a good sleep. The next morning I am fine. Tend to get up very early. May take a nap in the middle of the day as well. Tend to become active in the afternoon. Though I do have my dinner to get ready and cook around noon. Not as if I am doing nothing early in the day.

I don’t really see a ton of correlation about sleep affecting my anxiety. My anxiety definitely affects my sleep though. The amount of sleep I get doesn’t really affect next days anxiety. It’s very random for me. I’m sure other people have that correlation though. It would make sense. I can sleep 10-12 hours and be miserable the next day. Or sleep 4 hours and be fine. And vice versa. I hate sleeping because it makes the next day come faster. I’m such a night person my optimum schedule would be to work 2/3pm-10/11pm stay up til 2/3am, sleep until 11 and do it all over again

I used to have trouble getting to sleep years ago. But now I almost always get my full eight hours of sleep, and I practically always get to sleep shortly after going to bed.

I never sleep well. I live on about 4 1/2 hours of sleep a night

Ive luckily never had any sleep disturbances caused by anxiety. It's extremely rare that I wake up during the night, and when I do it's because I didn't empty a mostly full bladder before I went to sleep. Haha. However, anxiety did used to prevent me from falling asleep, though once asleep I'd stay asleep.

My sleep is pretty consistent, 6.5-7.5 hours each night. Sometimes a bit more or less. We bought a new mattress recently, and it made such a huge difference in how quickly I fall asleep. I never realized how much of a role the mattress played.

I have a really easy time falling asleep. It’s actually something I look forward to because it’s the only time I’m truly at peace. But I wake up extremely early in the morning feel breathless with my heart racing and can’t go back to sleep. It’s an awful way to wake up. Then throughout the day I may want to take a nap but I avoid it because I know my anxiety is at it’s worse as soon as I wake up.

The odd thing about me is that if I get seven hours of sleep, I usually feel tired and worn out the next day. I have to get my full eight hours of sleep each night.
