Do you have to get so much sleep?
I have to get atleast 8 hours, seriously. If I get less, I have what I call a sleep headache all day, and feel useless.
Also, if I am hungry I will get a hunger headache.
I woke up early this morning with only about 6 hours of sleep, and my head pounds so bad, even if I take anything for it, it will soothe it some, but not all.

On a regular basis, I have to have 7 - 8 hours. If I sleep more than 8 (which I will if I am allowed) I am tired and cranky. For 5 months out of the year, I function of 6 hours most of the time... I don't like it, but I can do it.

I actually function best on 4 hours of straight sleep. More makes my body hurt.
Less, and I can handle it for a day or two.
If I sleep more, it usually means I am sick.So hard, not to facepalm some people

If I get less than 6, I am grumpy....watch out.
8-9 is good....more than that, I get lazy.
An afternoon nap can be a good thing at times.
If I'm running on low sleep time for a few days and running like crazy, I definitely need a "crash" day.

I need at least 8 1/2 hours of sleep a night or I'm like Jasmine and have a headache for the day. Aggie can't stand it if I don't get enough sleep....I'm not the nicest either when I'm tired or have a headache.

My doctor actually ordered me to get at least 8 hours a night. It doesn't happen often though.

I wish I could get enough sleep. I was exhausted yesterday because I was working on doing incomes taxes, myself, ds & Mom's. They took forever & so many little additional forms that had to be filled out.
My ds wanted to make homemade candy for his gf last night & I was too exhausted to do that with him. I was so overtired that I think I fell asleep after 3:30 A.M. & have to be up for 7:45 A.M. so I am so tired today. I should have just taken an Ambien at 11 & I would have been fine.Insanity is hereditary. You get it from your kids.
