I was curious how much sleep we average per day and how we feel after. Do you take naps during the day and if so do they help?
I feel best after 7-8 hours sleep but some days I get around 5 hours or sometimes 10+ hours. When pain wakes me up around 5 hours and I can't get back to sleep, I'm tired but function fairly well during the day. I do end up going to sleep early that night though usually.
After 10 or more hours I am usually groggy most of the day which feels worse than getting only 5 hours sleep. As for naps, I very rarely take one, I just can't seem to sleep during the day and I don't feel much better after them either.
7-8 hours with no naps is where I feel the best. What works best for you?
