How many hours of sleep did you get last night?

[clay]

8 to 9 hrs. of sleep are good for me.

I am a firm believer in "settling my mind & body down" an hour before bedtime. I do not go online after early evening nor do I watch a lot of "news".

My routine is to eat dinner around 530 or 600pm...so as not to go to bed with a full tummy. I rarely drink caffeine, due to atrial fib, so that is not an issue for me anyway. I like my room as dark as possible, & I have slept with a fan on my face & upper body for many decades, and that white noise helps me not hear outside my room noises.

I play with my little dachshund Hopey on my bed a half hour or so, & that is very relaxing for me. She LOVES it, sleeps better in her crate also.

Then do my night routine brush teeth, wash face, etc.

I usually fall asleep as soon as I lay down, & wake sometimes for BR breaks, but usually able to go right back to sleep.

I awaken around 815 am most mornings, rarely am I asleep at any later than that.

My routines are fairly consistent, & work for me. I try to exclude any mental stimulation & filling my belly late evening. I am pretty relaxed so am able to sleep well each night. Sometimes I waken during the night & brain engages, but I try to mentally shut it off again...lol.
