How long do you guys sleep for?

Just wondering what the average is round here…

On Aps about 12 hours a night

Off Aps about 10-11, but I’m setting an alarm to get 8 hours tonight.

8 hours is the golden amount for me. 7 is too little, and 9 is good, but maybe a bit too much.

My sleep patterns vary widely. This week I slept only 2 - 3 hours for a couple of nights, but last night I slept at least 11.

Without meds I have insomnia sometimes or I sleep very little
.
On meds 7-10hrs depending on the time I take them…

On a high dosage I can sleep almost an entire day…

I usually sleep about 12 hours with medication. Without medication I usually can’t sleep very much at all.

8-9 hours. I don’t nap during the day.

I sleep about 10-20 hours when OFF my APs (assuming im not taking any prescribed amphetamine like dexedrine). I get hit hard by negative symptoms and seem to respond really well to zyprexa for those issues. Not sure what my average sleep time is but last night I slept about 7-8.

It’s not uncommon for younger people to require 10 or more even without schizophrenia. Otherwise they can be very fatigued.

I used to sleep for 2-3 hours a night but since starting Clozapine again I’ve been sleeping around 11-12

Last night I went to bed at 3 am woke up at 6 am had breakfast then went back to sleep until 1pm my sleep is garbage

I sleep generally for 8 hours or less give or take. I used to sleep 10 but adding some decent exercise really made a difference. I do have a short 30 minute nap on occassion.

When at home about 12 hours 5pm ish to 5am. Dose of quetiapine and im asleep.

Any less and the brain is liable to act up with whispers.

Recently I’ve been sleeping 11-12 hours per night.

Recently I have gone from 8-9 hours to 4-6 hours

Not sure how sustainable this is. The pdoc was a bit concerned

On a usual day I try to get 7hours, but occasionally I pull 12 when I’m tired…

Summers i sleep about 7-8 hours winters 10 - 11 hours

7-10hrs usually

When I was in college, they put me on Trilafon and Elavil. I slept like 17 hours a day, but never connected it to the meds.

I guess when I was 19, I didn’t much listen to old men like the doctor. I wish I had listened more.

Not much. And not long. But then I have periods of non stop sleep.
