I had my annual physical a while ago. The nurse was on the computer typing and my Dr. was asking questions. I must have looked tired because he asked me how much sleep I get every night. I said 6 and 1/2 hours, usually. They both looked at me like I'd done something disgusting.... like spit on their shoes. Seriously, their mouths dropped open, they were shocked and suddenly, I was embarrassed! :icon_redface:
He said that's not nearly enough sleep. I said 'well...I go to bed at that same time every night and wake up at the same time every morning & I wake up before the alarm goes off, so it must be enough.'
I must admit I am a very heavy sleeper, it's almost like I'm in a *passed out* state, I never remember my dreams, either. I've always just figured it's *quality* sleep.
There was a fire in our apt. complex when we first got married, I never heard the fire trucks, my husband had to shake me to wake me up! On another occasion, a tree fell on our house, crashing into the roof and I never heard that either, because I was sleeping. I have more frightening stories like these. :lol:
Does everyone get 8 hours of sleep every night? I am somewhat of a night owl and an early bird, too.
