I sleep twelve hours a night and sometimes more. Anyone else? Its sometimes inconvenient and good thing I dont have to work that would be hard. I think sleeping so much is due to meds. When I was off meds I slept a lot less. Sometimes I feel bad about sleeping so much but I have to remember it is because of meds.
i sleep 9 to 10 on average. but i wake up in the night sometimes too.
do you think you sleep that much due to the meds you take?
When taking sedating meds like Thorazine, I sleep for 11-12 hours. Clozaril made me sleep my life away. Right now I’m averaging 9-10 hours per night. I am very sensitive about my sleep - nothing ticks me off more than waking in the middle of the night to noise.
I sleep about 10-14 hours per night. I take Geodon, Klonopin, and Trazodone and Benadryl for sleep. My sleep schedule was always messed up from depression. I used to go back and forth between sleeping at night to sleeping during the day. Now I have to sleep at night, because I am going to school. I’ll have to try to get to bed early tonight, because I have school tomorrow, and I have to get up by 10:30AM. It takes me about an hour and a half to really wake up, and then I have a forty-five minute drive to get to school, and a ten minute walk to get to my class. My classes start at 1PM. I think my excessive sleeping is due to the meds.
i think i sleep just a bit longer than i use to before meds. i think i averaged 8 to 9 before meds.
after hearing these replys I dont feel so bad anymore about sleeping so long. It really is due to meds and not just me being lazy. but to those who dont understand, it looks like i am just lazy. I am a very misunderstood person. If i told the average person how long i sleep they would think I am just plain lazy …I feel bad about that

there is an overnight retreat coming up and I am not going because I have to sleep so much. SOmetimes I miss out on things due to how much I have to sleep.
When I take my sleeping meds I will sleep 12 hours or more. But without meds I sleep about maybe 6 hours.
I don’t sleep enough maybe 5 -6 hrs maybe on the average. Lately with this new med I sleep longer, more like 7-8 hrs or so
I need 9 hours. anxiety can make me wake up in the middle of the night sometimes, then I have to take a xanax to go back to sleep. I sleep like 10 hours without an alarm, i used to sleep more but I think I’ve gotten used to my meds.
i can only dream of that…
take care
I’ve come to find it really depends on the season. Winter? 8-10. Summer? 6-8
Fall and Spring about 8-9
Generally 10. Sometimes 12.
With med. 7-8. Hours.
Without med 0
