Sleep Survey

1. How long do you sleep each night?
I usually go to bed around midnight (many nights later) and get up around 6am (many nights earlier).  So 5-6 hours.

2. Do you fall asleep easily?
Yes, I am usually exhausted long before I head to bed.  I  fall asleep especially easy when watching a movie ;) If I can't sleep then I will read to relax.

3. Do you fall asleep at times not in your bed?
Yes, but only on my sofa downstairs.  Once I lay there to watch a movie, I am out about 10-30 minutes later then wake myself up to climb 3 flights of stairs to my bed!

4. Do you listen to music or use “white noise” to sleep?
I absolutely cannot sleep well with TV or music.  At All.  I do like a fan going but it is not necessary.

5. Do you sleep through the night or get up a couple of times?
I get up around 3-4am for a potty break

6. Do you have trouble sleeping away from your own bed?
Somewhat, I can sleep good as long as I am comfortable!

7. Do you need an alarm clock to get you up?
I have since daylight savings time started this year, but before that I would wake myself up within 2 minutes of the alarm.  On weekends I will glance at clock at that same time and them remember I don't work that day and can go back to sleep for a few hours!

8. Do you ever take medication to help you sleep?
I have a prescription muscle relaxer (for my jaw) that I am supposed to take before bed every night.  Makes me nice and relaxed and I sleep wonderfully on it (but I drag a little in the morning)

9. Do you/have you slept with pets?
Its pretty much guaranteed that all four cats will sleep with me at some point in the night (not necessarily all at the same time though).  Its annoying, but I cannot just lock them out or they will scratch and bang on the door all night!! Dang cats.  PS When I have children they will NOT ever sleep in bed with me

7. No, I have kids, they serve the same purpose.
8. Sometimes Tylenol PM works wonders.
9. SOmetimes the stupid cat lays on my feet and it annoys the crap out of me. Sarge thinks he should be in bed but he gets the boot quickly! The kids don't generally sleep with us, at night anyway, they nap in our bed every day.
